Full Plot Details

Jake Willis, a timber-cutter, is felling trees with a gang of men one morning when an Indian applies for work and food, Willis hires him and tells him to do a day's work first, then eat. Stolidly the Indian agrees and leaves with an ax for the forest. Now, little Flo Willis, Jake's little girl, pities the poor redskin and, when her father leaves, butters a piece of bread, spreads it with jelly and takes it out to the Indian, who, although surprised, thanks her as best he can and sits down to eat. Flo returns to the cabin and finds Spot, her dog, missing. She starts out to look for him, loses her way and is soon at the edge of the great desert. Jake now discovers the Indian eating the bread, and when he refuses to tell where he got it, discharges and drives him away. Bitterly resenting this treatment, the Indian wanders on and suddenly discovers little Flo lying in the sage-brush exhausted and consumed with thirst. With the one thought of taking the lost child back to her parents, because of the little one's kindness to him, the Indian picks her up and starts back. Meanwhile Flo has been found missing. Jake instantly suspects the Indian has stolen her for revenge at his discharge, forms a posse and starts out on the search. They come upon the Indian with Flo in his arms and feel sure of his guilt. Flo is carried to the cabin and the Indian is convicted and sentenced to be shot by Jake. Meanwhile, Flo has recovered and tells her mother the truth and that she was looking for Spot. Mrs. Willis instantly sends her running to stop the execution. Flo arrives just as Jake is about to fire, the Indian is released and Willis warmly wrings his brown hand while he hugs little Flo to his heart.
