Jim finds her, and carries her to the brook and revives her. The two become fast friends, and Lola gives him the band from her hat. One day Jim, fond of solitude, has ridden into the forest and is sitting on a rock tenderly thinking of Lola, and he takes the band off his hat and caresses it. A gang of rustlers pass near him, driving cattle before them, and accelerating their speed by revolver shots. Jim leaps on his horse and gallops for assistance, forgetting in the excitement of the moment the hatband which has dropped from his hand. The posse finds Jim's band, and Jim, fearing ridicule, does not claim it as it is recognized as Lola's. She is asked how her hatband came to be there, and she tells them she gave it to Jim. The cowboys suspect Jim of being one of the rustlers and arrest him. The posse goes on the trail of the rustlers and a terrific fight takes place. The leader of the rustlers escapes, but one of the cowboys makes a short-cut and lassos him from the top of a cliff as he gallops by. The capture of the real culprits exonerates Jim.
