Dorothy, in reality, loved George best. One day, word came that George's mother was dying in the east, and he started for home, but not before he had placed an engagement ring on Dorothy's finger. After he reached home, his mother died, and a few days later, George himself fell sick with a fever. He rapidly grew worse, and finally the doctors told him that he could not recover. He then dictated a letter to Dorothy and one to Bill, telling each of his sickness. Bill got the two letters. He read his own, and then, being madly in love with Dorothy, he destroyed the other, and told her that George had forgotten her. Believing this, Dorothy consented to become Bill's wife. But George did not die. After several months he recovered. He decided to surprise Dorothy, and set out for the west. But alas! For the surprise which he had in mind. It was George himself who was surprised, for he arrived just after Dorothy and Bill had been married. Dorothy's father met him and told him that the kindest thing he could do would be to get away without letting Dorothy know of his recovery. In utter wretchedness, George acquiesced and walked away, out into the desert. Then Dorothy's father called Bill aside and upbraided him for his deception. Dorothy overheard the conversation. She told Bill that she could never love a man who was guilty of duplicity. She commanded him to try to find George. Bill, overcome with remorse, started out to find his former rival. He discovered him almost dead from thirst. At first, George repulsed him, but finally they clasped hands. Bill insisted that George drink all the water. Then they attempted to struggle back to the ranch. On the way, Bill was overcome, sank to the earth and finally died. George was also near death, but was discovered later by a searching party, just in time to save his life. Dorothy, being freed by the death of Bill, became the bride of George.
