Mason Henry Woodward Ernest Joy .Alice Marc Horace B. Carpenter THE STORY Henry de Spain, a young mountaineer of about twenty-eight, is made General Manager of the Thief River Stage Line because he has nerve and can shoot. It is understood that he is to "clean up" the gang of outlaws in Morgan Gap, led by Duke Morgan, with whose pretty niece. Nan, de Spain is in love. Sassoon, one of the worst men in the gang, starts the trouble by a knifing, but de Spain catches him. The laugh is soon turned, though, for Sassoon escapes and soon after de Spain himself is wounded in a terrific fight with about seven of the Morgan gang, when he makes a trip to the Gap to see Nan, He is severely wounded, and falls from the horse which he has managed to mount in trying to get water from a mountain spring. The horse, frightened, runs away, and de Spain is left there unconscious for days, the ice cold water alone keeping him alive. He is finally discovered by Nan herself, who cannot forget her resentment even when she sees that he is half dead. Later she learns the true story of his attack by her relatives and from his own lips the reason of his being a gunman. This was that his father had been shot in the back by one of the mountaineers and soon after his m'other had died from the effects of the shock, leaving him with a birthmark to commemorate his father’s tragic death. For years he had been living in the neighborhood, hoping to trap the man who had done this. Nan is won over to his side the more easily that she is already half in love with the handsome gunman . A few days later she helps him make good his escape from that region. Afterwards, although he takes every opportunity for seeing her, they seldom meet and her uncle very nearly succeeds in marrying her to her worthless cousin. Gale Morgan. 18
