He visits Ellis and tells him to get out or take the consequences, death. Ellis refuses to leave and when McAllister again visits his home and finds him there, he is wild with rage. While he is threatening Ellis and his wife, Dolly, their little daughter overhears him. She takes an instant dislike to him and when he kicks her pet puppy, Rags, she hits him in the eye with a stone. She is so absolutely unafraid of him and so bitter against him that McAllister's admiration is aroused. For her sake he does not insist that Ellis leave, but the two men remain bitter enemies. A dry spell falls over the section and Ellis' cattle, crazed by thirst, wander afar. The efforts of both Ellis and his wife are required to trace them and Dolly is left alone in the cabin. Her dog, Rags, runs away and in following him she is lost. Ellis, in his sorrow appeals to McAllister to help find her, and because of his love for the little girl, McAllister consents. He strays away from the rest of the searching party and with the dawn finds Dolly and her dog, exhausted and fast asleep. The meeting results in her forgiving him. On his way back with the little girl, McAllister is ambushed by a small band of drunken Indians, He realizes he cannot make the settlement and sacrifices his chances that the girl may live. Binding her and the dog to a horse he sends them down the ravine while he holds the Indians at bay. His ammunition exhausted he hides in a cave but is found and mortally wounded. Dolly reaches the settlement in safety and when the rescuing party arrive at the cave they find McAllister dead with the body of the Indian who shot him lying close by. On the wall, traced in rough characters on the stone, is his last will in which he leaves everything he owns to Dolly Ellis, his friend. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
