He hits his head against the floor, rendering him unconscious. The boys advise Bob to get away at once. He goes into the North Woods. His father writes him that Frawley never recovered consciousness and bids his son go further into the woods. Bob hires a guide, Pierre, who takes him into the wilderness. Pierre steals a letter from Bob's pocket while he is sleeping. He learns that Bob is a fugitive from justice and that a reward of $1,000 is offered for him. He decides to turn him over to the police. When Bob awakens he sees the man's intention. After a terrible fight Pierre succeeds in tying Bob hand and foot. In the canoe Bob manages to free himself and attacks Pierre. Julie, a trapper's daughter, sees the canoe capsize and she rescues both of the men and marches them out at the point of her gun. Pierre tells the trapper of the reward offered for Bob, but the trapper refuses to allow the guide to carry out his intention. Pierre leaves them, vowing vengeance. Julie and Bob fall in love and become engaged. A passing priest visits the cabin and he is asked to marry them. As he is beginning the ceremony Pierre returns with a sheriff. After the marriage Bob goes away with the sheriff, but does not tell Julie where. Julie finds his letter of explanation and rushes after him. She stops the canoe by firing at Pierre, but Bob receives the bullet himself. The canoe goes over and the men walk ashore. They return to the trapper's cabin. The old man tells the sheriff he cannot take Bob, for he is North of 53, or over the Canadian border, so the sheriff leaves and Pierre is warned never to return. Julie fixes Bob's arm and puts her arms about his neck. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
