Crossing the Arizona desert the little party is attacked by a band of savages and forced to flee. The strain of the chase and the lack of water soon tell on Mrs. Hawkins and in the midst of the wild desert she passes away. As the Indians are crowding him, Bull Moose directs the girl to ride straight ahead. He staggers after her for a few paces and then drops exhausted in the sand. In the meantime, Hawkins, uneasy when his little family fails to arrive suspects Bull Moose of killing them for the gold they carried. He gathers a few friends and they start a search for the party. Hawkins finds the Indian stretched out in the sand. There is no trace of his wife and child and Hawkins is with difficulty restrained from killing the Indian. One of his friends finds the little girl riding aimlessly about and brings her to Hawkins. She explains the manner of her mother's death and as Bull Moose breathes his last, she offers a prayer for a brave and loyal soul. Written by
