From that moment he hated the police officer. Gilbert was too fine-looking. The time came when Gilbert was shot by an outlaw. Jacques saw the affair and killed the outlaw. He had a certain respect for the law and he was for justice. Gilbert was left for dead by Jacques. Good intentions and the finer sentiment which men seek to hide are seldom taken into consideration by the law. Circumstances so framed themselves that Jacques was accused of and arrested for the killing of the mounted officer. However, he escaped. In the trouble that ensued Jacques' wife was wounded by a timber thief and taken to police headquarters. Once separated from his injured wife Jacques became another man and all his criticism turned inward upon himself. The new Jacques went to police headquarters and stole into the room where the woman lay hurt. He is captured and held to answer for the murder of Gilbert. He has no way of proving his innocence. There are only two men who could save him, Gilbert and the dead outlaw. Gilbert does save him. The wounded officer staggers to headquarters on regaining consciousness and tells how Jacques saved his life. The two enemies became the best of friends.
