Soon afterward the stranger, unaware that he is transgressing the traditional rights of the trader, is captured and brought to the post. Aurora, the trader's motherless daughter, has been raised to womanhood at the post and has associated with few people other than redskins. At her first meeting with the stranger she is deeply impressed. Their acquaintance soon ripens into love. The trader does not know exactly what to do with the poacher, and so holds him at the post. The stranger attempts to obtain a gun, some matches and a knife, that he may leave. His attempts are unsuccessful. The trader finally decides that the stranger's punishment shall consist of being turned out in the trackless forest without food or weapons. Aurora learns of her father's designs. To save the stranger she spirits a gun, knife and matches and gives them to the stranger. He escapes into the forest. He sprains ins ankle, however, and is taken prisoner by the trader's Indians. "Tell me who gave you the rifle and I'll send you safe on your journey," offers the trader. But the stranger declares that he will submit to death before divulging the secret. To save his mistress, Saskatche, a young Indian, declares that he gave the stranger the rifle. When the trader flies at him in an angry rage, Aurora confesses and that her action was prompted by love for the young trapper. The anger of the old trader is mellowed by his love for his daughter. His mind reverts to the romantic days of his own youth and he ceases to be the despot. He becomes a father. He forgives the stranger and his daughter and consents to their marriage.
