They are happy until the arrival of Jordan Lee, a white man from the east, who comes between the lovers and finally wins the beautiful Indian girl for his bride. They are married by Indian custom and live in contentment on Lee's ranch for about a year. Then Bubbling Water is distressed to find her white man growing restless. At last he tells her that he has decided to make a brief trip east. She realizes that once he reaches his old home, he never will return to her. Though heartbroken, she lets him go. Soon after this Chief Young Bull comes, telling the deserted wife that he still loves her and will take her away. But she confides to him her secret; she is to have a child. The young chief, fearing that her loneliness and grief will kill her, trails Lee. He finds him in a gambling den, shorn of his last dollar. When Lee hears the story of Bubbling Water's condition, he breaks down completely and hurries back with the Indian to his own cabin. Young Bull witnesses their reconciliation. For a moment his face darkens with hate of Lee, then fades into the stoicism of his race. Written by
