Smarting over the injustice of it, he contrives to escape from prison where he is serving sentence, eludes the officers and takes to the mountains, where he discovers a deserted cabin and takes undisputed possession. His retreat is an isolated portion of the country. Sue, the daughter of a mountaineer, rides far afield one day and meets Hardin at a spring where he has come for water. She instinctively loves the taciturn man, for he is not like her kind. He shows the direction of her home and she goes. Once at home, her father urges her to marry Luke, a typical ne'er-do-well of the mountain section, and she rebels. She rides again to escape the taunts of her father, and is found by Luke, who pulls her from her horse, and Hardin administers a deserved thrashing to Luke. The girl rides away, and Luke stalks Hardin and shoots him. The girl hears the shot, finds Hardin and assists him to his cabin, where she ministers to his wound. Returning home, she finds that her father has returned from the settlement, bringing some newspapers. She reads in one that the man who committed the crime of which Hardin was convicted has confessed, and Hardin is innocent. She does not know the name of the recluse of the mountain, but intuitively divines that it is Hardin. Taking the paper, she rides to his cabin and, finding him gone, leaves the newspaper in a conspicuous place. He returns, finds the newspaper account and is overjoyed. He goes to her and takes her from her home in the wilds, back to the city, where they are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
