The Station Agent at Coyote Junction has a charming daughter, May, who has her own troubles keeping the cowboys and loafers in their place. Once, when accosted by a big fellow, she is saved from his company by Red Deer, an Indian living nearby. He takes the girl home and in their short walk falls in love with the “paleface lily.” The next day May gives Red Deer her photograph, and following the custom of his people, to give gift for gift, Red Deer appears at May’s home later with furs and blankets and a proposal of marriage. When he offers the latter Red Deer makes a quick exit through the window with May’s daddy and a shotgun as a close second. May has become enamored, however, and decides to run away. This she attempts to do but, by a series of misadventures, falls into the hands of a bunch of desperadoes, chief of whom is the man Red Deer interfered with in the opening of the story. Red Deer also is captured. By a ruse both captives manage to escape.
