Winnie leaves him and goes home. Pete, however, follows her, receives a thrashing from her father, and like a whipped puppy, runs off to tell his father of his troubles, marital and otherwise. The two return to Simmons' house, where the two older men have a forceful argument. Winnie, though, refuses to return to her husband, and finally obtains a divorce from him. Several months after Paul Gregory, a young author, comes to the vicinity of the Simmons in search of color for a new novel. There he sees Winnie, accosted by her erstwhile husband, rushes to her rescue and accompanies her to her home, where he receives the hearty thanks of her people. But Pete does not so easily forget and so, getting his gun, resolves to "get" Paul. He follows him, aims at him, but shooting high, does no more damage than knock Paul's hat off. Paul, instantly on his guard, turns and shoots, wounding Pete in the leg. Hearing the shots, Winnie and her mother rush in their direction, and seeing Pete shot, Winnie realizes that her love for him is not all dead and takes him to her home. There she cares for him and when Paul leaves a week later, she and Pete are fully reconciled, Pete having promised never to drink again. A year later, Paul Gregory, now a most successful author, receives a letter from Winnie, containing her blessing for the man who made life happy again for her, though a little late.
