Her physician, not understanding the case, orders her to the land of cactus. Her father, who worships her, takes her to the Mexican border and there they establish themselves with one, Henry Arce, a very wealthy cattleman and ranch owner and incidentally an old friend of Royster's. Shortly after arriving, Arce's two favorite foremen meet Estelle and both fall in love with her in their own ways. Estelle favors Bob Armabile, the American vaquero, but is fascinated by Ramon, a white Mexican. Bob's suit is favored by Estelle's father, but with love and everything that can be had for money, Estelle continues to sink as days go by. Ramon's love gives him power to see that the girl's illness is purely mental. He decides to steal her and take her into the mountains and force her to regain her health. He does so, and after a month of roughing it among the cactus and the boulders of the big mountains on the border of Mexico, she wholly regains her strength, when Bob and Arce, the cattleman, come down upon them after days of weary searching. The girl explains. The two men stand with hands out and the girl does not know which one to take, but finally turns from the Mexican boy to the American, leaving the man who had worked the miracle alone in the mountains, she returning to her home, health and happiness.
