That is to say Bessie loved an idol, a very perishable clay idol much addicted to the use of liquor. Shortly after their marriage, Bob came home reeling drunk. Bessie tried in vain to break him but, with the further use of the poison, Bob fell into evil ways, returned home but seldom and then only to maltreat and abuse her. A day came when Bessie could no longer stand the strain; so she packed her small belongings and dolefully went forth to seek new joys in new fields. Bob, coming home quite drunk, found the house locked and drifted away with the oddities of Fate. Tired, Bessie sat down upon a rock. Will Wayne, riding slowly down the road saw her, stopped and hearing her story took her home. Old man Wayne and Will's mother kept her for several weeks and Will grew to love her dearly. But independent Bessie though the time had come to leave and was only dissuaded by the urgent request of the whole family. Two years later, Bessie found the morning paper on the stoop. Its first page contained a story of a railroad wreck and among the slain was Bob. A year later Bessie married Will and the young couple moved to Will's new home and were happy. Riding through the mountains one day, Will came upon Bob Evans, very much alive, quite sick and quite dirty. Not knowing him he took him home. Between Bob and Bessie there was instant trouble. Will started to interfere and a scuffle followed. Will dropped dead with a bullet through him. The cowboys then found the slayer creeping through hills and ended a career that had wrecked the life and happiness of Bessie. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
