Walter and Grace then come into the conservatory, the former being dressed like Jack, as Romeo, Jack leaves and Nell returns in time to see Grace accepting Walter and kissing him. She only sees his back, and his dress being similar, mistakes Walter for Jack. She goes out on the balcony heartbroken and on Jack's return gives him back his engagement and on Jack's return gives him back his engagement ring and sends him away, refusing to give any explanation. Jack returns to his bachelor apartment and there finds a letter from his old chum. Bob Ewing, urging him to come and spend some time at his ranch in Canyon City, Arizona. He decides to go at once, and, after giving instructions for the closing up of his apartment, starts out for the west. Meantime Nell has met Grace and Walter, who announce their engagement to her. She notices the similarity of costume and realizes how unjust she has been to Jack. After a few days' consideration she decides to write him and candidly confess her mistake, but the letter is returned to her "Gone; No Address." Meantime Jack has arrived at Canyon City and the change of scene and western life are brightening him up. One day, in the local saloon, Jack protects an Indian girl, Little Fawn, from the enforced attentions of a Mexican greaser, and in the affray that ensues Jack is badly shot. Little Fawn nurses Jack through his serious illness, and while he is delirious sees Nell's photo in the locket he wears 'round his neck. Three months elapse, and Jack, who is convalescent, is sitting outside the saloon with Little Fawn, when an automobile comes along with Nell and her father, who are taking an auto trip through the west for the benefit of the former's health. The auto stops for repairs and Little Fawn recognizes Nell. Suddenly the machine starts, and is about to run over Nell. The Indian girl runs forward and saves her just in time, but is herself knocked over. She is badly injured and Jack lifts her to a bench and supports her head. Nell is also there, but they have not noticed each other yet. Little Fawn places their hands together, sighs and dies while Jack takes Nell in his arms, who explains to him her unfortunate error.—Moving Picture World synopsis
