REEL NO. TITLB tODUCBB takes a certain pride in his reputation for square dealing. He gives liberally to all charities and is rather surprised when one day a pioneer missionary refuses to take his money, as he considers it ill gotten. This makes a deep impression on Jack, and he is so much troubled about it that he begins to consider whether it is not. after all better to start afresh in some other line of business. About this time a Colonel Ransome enters Jack's gambling place. The Colonel, a big ranch owner is flushed with drink and loaded down with money received in a cattle deal and insists on a game for the highest stakes. Jack reluctantly consents and after fluctuating chances wins the Colonel's money and also a deed to the ranch. In the confusion and free for all fight that follow the big play Colonel Ransome is shot by one of his own foremen, Anastacio, who has previously planned to rob his master and hates to see the money get away from him. The onlookers think that Jack killed the Colonel, but as there is a general shooting no fuss is made about the matter.

Two Spot, arrive at the ranch they discover that the Colonel has left an only daughter, Virginia Ransome, who is being educated in New York. Jack determines to put the ranch in order and hand it over to the rightful heiress.

Jack has seen Virginia's pictures in her father's room and has conceived a romantic interest in the young girl. When Virginia arrives, however, she treats him with haughty disdain as a hired servant. Jack still keeps on with the work around the ranch, but fs greatly harnoered by Virginia's attitude, as this encourages Anastacio and the hands to almost open mutiny. After much plotting to dethrone Jack and secure both the ranch and Virginia for himself Anastacio tells Virginia that Jack Diamond is the murderer of her father. Virginia, in a whirlwind of indignation, dismisses Jack and makes Anastacio her foreman. Jack and Two Spot leave the ranch, but determine not to leave "the little lady" to the mercy of Anastacio and his fellow scoundrels. Tack dispatches Two Spot to the nearest fort for the rangers and returns in time to rescue Virginia from Anastacio, and the rangers arrive in time to clear up rhe ranch. One of Anastacio's associates tells Virginia that her father was shot by Anastacio and not by Jack. And Virginia, who in her time of trouble has seen many things in a new light, humbly apologizes to Jack for her past unkindnesses and offers to turn over the ranch to him as rightful owner. Jack will only entertain a proposition that involves a half ownership. Rental, $10.00 per night. DA 875 to 83 "The Wishing Ring" World Featuring Vivian Martin, Chester Barnett and Alex.
