Kenneth and Nell are sweethearts, and Nell's father smiles on the match. One day, however, there comes to the mountains a friend of Kenneth's, Bert Travers, and Kenneth welcomes him as a guest at his cabin. Bert falls in love with Nell, and covertly woos her when Kenneth is at work in the woods, and as Bert is a polished city chap, he finally persuades Nell to flaunt both Kenneth and her father and elope with him. Kenneth, who has been a constant friend to Jackson, buries Nell's father who has died of grief, and sometime later, as Kenneth strides up the mountain trial, he is met by Neil, with a babe in her arms. She has been deserted by Bert. When Nell dies, Kenneth makes her grave alongside her father's. The babe he adopts and she grows to be the image of her mother. Written by
