Tillie indignantly pays for the chicken and they leave. Burridge repents of his action, pities the hungry women, resolves to follow and protect them. He kills two chickens, follows the women, and leaves the chickens at their night camp unobserved, together with a whistle and note. The ladies are instructed to blow the whistle if they ever need help. They keep the chickens. Aunt Pansy blows the whistle, Cliff appears, and is thanked for his gift.
