She loves McGuire, and lives with him, and keeps the secret of his mine, but he forgets all her devotion and leaves her to spend his fortune. He returns with his mother to the place where he struck it rich, and finds the faithful Opitsah and a little stranger. His mother urges an honorable marriage.
