When, however, he does not return in due time she becomes alarmed and follows the path he took. Peering in the window of a house she discovers a man dead and her lover embracing a prostrate woman. Her conclusions are that her lover has committed murder, and in a fit of jealousy, she informs the authorities. Graham is captured and about to be lynched when remorse fills the heart of Grace. Perhaps he has some explanation. She pleads with the lynchers and obtains a hearing for her lover. Graham explains that the woman he embraced was his sister; that he had arrived at the hut just after she had been choked to death by her husband, a gambler, who had forced her to marry him to pay a gambling debt of Graham's; that in a conflict that followed between himself and the gambler-husband, the latter was killed. The lynchers are convinced by this story and Grace reconciled. Written by
