Arriving at a little town in Canada, near the place where "Shotgun Jones" has established himself, Sally obtains a job as a waitress in a little restaurant while Tom hires out for service in a livery stable. Some time later Bretall and Hayes reach Canada and begin to make it unpleasant for Jones and others in the neighborhood. While Jones is in town he takes lunch at the restaurant where Sally is a waitress and is present when a careless cook scalds her as he is dipping up hot soup. Jones immediately ' orders her taken to his ranch where she can have the best of care and every comfort without regard to expense. During her convalescence "Shotgun" grows more interested in his fair patient and regard soon ripens into love. While Jones is riding one day he is set upon by Bretall and Hayes and a running gun fight ensues which ends with the killing of both the renegades. Sally rides to bring help for Jones and arrives just as "Shotgun" finds certain papers in the pocket of the dead Hayes, which give him a clue as to the ownership of the money he found years before in Lattier's boot. Putting two and two together, Jones discovers that the ranch, the cattle, and in fact everything that he now calls his, rightfully belong to Sally and Tom. After a tremendous struggle with his conscience, Jones decides that the only square thing to do is to turn the whole property over to its rightful owners. Accordingly he writes a note explaining the circumstances, which he leaves where it will readily be found and goes off to begin life anew. Sally discovers the note almost immediately and rides after Jones. She insists upon his coming back and after some argument he consents to do so. As usual, love finds a way and Jones eventually becomes a cosharer with the two rightful heirs, who are glad to have him made the head of their family.

Peacocke and since a number (if the Universal favorites are cast in the leading roles and Mr. Brennon superintended the production in person, besides enacting a role in it himself, it seems likely that it will score a tremendous triumph.

Stellar Company's Debut The old style melodrama "Forgiven, or, the Jack o' Diamonds" is the medium through which the Stellar Photoplay Company makes its debut in the film world, and a highly successful one it is too.
