He takes her picture from his pocket and looking longingly at it, the words of a poem he once heard come to him: "I miss the silvery jingle of your spur, I heard when you were riding by my side. And when I think of you, a sudden blur gets in my eyes and blinds me as I ride." The lonely man is nearly overcome with emotion and tries hard to keep back the tears. He sees a vision of himself riding with the girl along those very trails, sometimes by his side and again dashing ahead of him. He sees the Manzanita berries and remembers how he compared them to the roses in her cheeks. He imagines he hears her voice. At night he pictures, in a vision, her face in the starlit heavens, smiling at him. Again, she is pointing out to him the wonderful panorama of the range, the beauties of which he had never realized before, and sees a crowd of cowboys joking and "joshing" him about being in love. The vision of sweet memories occur and recur. As they fade, he sadly realizes he must follow the Silent Trails alone. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
