He is kindly received by the people, who are glad to have a preacher among them. The love and respect of the villagers awakens Labarge's better self, and he resolves to be the man they believe him. He holds religious services to the best of his ability, tends the sick, and does all the good he can in the community. Corporal Ireton of the mounted police happens to get stranded in Grand Pierre and recognizes in the supposed priest, Labarge. He sends him with a written message to Sergeant Grey at headquarters. The letter discloses its bearer's identity. Grey, however, has been hearing for some time of the good work the ex-highwayman has been doing in Grand Pierre. He writes back to Ireton that the real Labarge died three years before. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
