of the whip when Joel threatens to beat Louise in a passionate fit of anger and pique.
Shortly afterward, Louise is thrown from her horse while riding alone in the desert and is rescued by Orlando, whose horse, startled, runs away and leaves them stranded there. This brings matters to a crisis, for old Mazarine is furious on Louise's return and again threatens to beat her.
She manages to escape, however, and takes refuge with a friend of the young doctor — a kindly Mrs. Doyle, at the latter's ranch. Here the enforced quiet and idleness soon restore her to health.
In the meantime Mazarine becomes more and more vicious in his treatment of his servants, particularly Li Choo, whom he blames for his wife's departure. Orlando and Mazarine clash over a land deal and again the old man succumbs to the young, thus doubly increasing his fury and thirst for revenge. He makes a will disinheriting Louise, but his lawyer, who, like everyone else, is a friend of the young Mrs. Mazarine, prevents his signing it.
Some time later, when Mazarine is found dead at the roadside, suspicion falls on Orlando, for he had been the first to discover the tragedy. The circumstantial evidence is strong against the accused man, but within a short time an unsuspected element is brought into play.
This is the confession of Li Choo, the servant, who gives himself up as the murderer. Facts come to light which show that Li Choo had at one time been a great man in his own country but had fled after committing a murder — quite as justifiable as this — but nevertheless, punishable by the law of his country with death or exile. Li Choo admits that his motive for the murder of Mazarine was the terrific beatings he had received, as well as the cruelty to Louise.
Now that he has made atonement for his first crime by working for "low people," the law of his country demands that he take his own life or receive the severest penalty for the second. This he proceeds to do in spite of all efforts.
Six months afterwards Louise and Orlando are married with great rejoicing and festivities along all the countryside.
