that as he must depart at sun up to
round up the rustlers, he accepts the
inevitable and tells Mr.. King of his love
for his niece, Flo Harper. This dec
laration angers Mr.. King who asks Jim
for his resignation. Perrault. the half

as soon as Jim takes his departure,
Perrault then runs in and requests the

derer. Jim is taken to Jail and locked
up.
In the course of natural events, Jim
is freed by his friends. only to learn
that Flo is Kidnapped by Perrault. He
tracks the halfbreed to his lair and
rescues the unfortunate girl and brings
the half-breed to justice. Mr.. Carey
