suddenly reveals to her that this is
the man she really loves. She sees
the women with him on their hunt
ing and exploring trip, and is fred
with the ambition to get an education
and to be like them.
Returns In Disguise
In the same party is Holten, who
comes back in disguise. He knows
that the property owned blythe girl
is valuable for its mining possibili-
ties, of which she is ignorant. He Of
fers her $1,000 for the land, telling
her with that money she can buy fine
clothes like the other women are
wearing. Knowing nothing of the
value of money she thinks this is a
fortune, and accepts it. Layson
comes on the scene and discovering
what has been done, forces Holten, to
take back the money and tears up the
deed.
Holten, who still hates Lorey, whose
father he had slain, plots to get re-
venge on him and at the same time
avenge himself on Layson. So he
tells the revenue agents that Lorey
is running an illicit still. They seek
him in the mountains but are unable
to find him, Joe having been warned
by Madge. Then Holten calls on
Lorey and tells him that Layson is
the man who set the officers on him.
His suspicious are easily aroused,
and he goes cunning for Layson.
Fights Hand to Hand
He NETS him, and as Layson is un-
armed, his sense of fairness comes to
play and he throws down his gun and
fights Layson hand to hand. After a
desperate battle he knocks him uncon-
sciOus. He puts dynamite under the
unconscious man, intending to blow
him to pieces so as to leave no trace
of his deed. His warm heart gets the
better of his intentions, however, and
he extinguishes the fuse.
However, Holten is watching from
the bushes, and when Lorey fees he

and dashes for the place. Holten,
however, sees her coming and wrecks
