- Jennie Forrester has been the playmate of the Harrison boys ever since she wore pinafores and pigtails. When the older brother, Louis, proposed to her, Jennie promptly refused him, as she loved the younger one, whom she had already accepted. Louis in anger denounces his brother and they come to blows. The crowd of cowboys step in and prevent what might have been a fatal quarrel. John Hopkins, who hates Louis bitterly for an imaginary wrong, has been a witness to this quarrel and sees an opportunity for revenge without danger to himself, as he thinks. The two brothers have been left alone, after assurance by both that the quarrel would not continue. The younger one removes his belt with his gun and knife, and hangs it on his saddle horn, while he goes to the brook to get some water to wash himself with. The elder remains on a log, brooding. Hopkins sees this from a distance and when Henry has left, he takes the younger brother's knife from the belt and sneaking up behind Louis, stabs him in the back. Not satisfied with his fiendish act, he robs the body, then rushes away. The cowboys discover the body with Henry's knife sticking in his back and remembering the quarrel, they conclude that Henry is guilty. Western law is brought into play and in spite of Jennie, preparations are made to hang him. Jennie in the meantime has ridden at breakneck speed for assistance to the authorities. She is held up by Hopkins, who shows her a purse of money, which she recognizes as having belonged to the murdered man. By a clever ruse, she unarms him and compels him to ride with "hands up" to the scene of execution in the nick of time to save her lover from death and the cowboys from committing a crime.
- Madge Holton, a Kentucky mountain girl, is loved by Joe Calway, who with his father is engaged in illicit whiskey traffic. Madge's mother resents his attentions because all the misery of her life had been caused by her intemperate husband, who consorted with moonshiners and neglected his family, finally drinking himself to death. In bitter rage she informs the revenue men where the Calway still is located, and along with others opposed to whiskey traffic leads in the raid. The rifle is used freely, and old man Calway is killed. Young Calway is captured by the dry and severely flogged before he is rescued by Madge, who takes the badly beaten boy to her own home to nurse. The mother refuses to allow the young moonshiner shelter, and Madge declares that if he can't come in she will never enter her home. She gains her point and in a highly dramatic way shields the boy until he has recovered, and later on, in defiance to all, including a jealous lover, marries Joe, who still continues to make and trade in mountain liquor. The young wife becomes addicted to drink, which again rouses the mother and the decent temperate mountain folk, but Madge protects her husband by telling them not to blame her husband. "It's in the blood," she cries; "It killed my daddy, and it will kill me." During a gospel meeting, which Joe and Madge attend, Joe realizes as he listens to the preacher what havoc is caused by whiskey drinkers, and as the circuit rider calls on sinners to repent Joe comes forward and vows never to make or deal again in liquor as long as he lives. Happiness is soon restored between Madge and Joe, who turns his hand to honest toll and a new life begins for Madge, Joe and the baby.

- This picture was taken at the famous Gray's Cove Farm, Sag Harbor, L.I., known as the largest duck farm in the world. From a distant view the place looks as though the ground was pure white for acres and acres; a closer view shows over a hundred thousand pure white ducks floating on the river edge of the property. In detail is given the entire existence of the duck, from the gathering of the eggs in the nests to the serving of the roasted duck at the dinner table. It shows the difficulties encountered during the hatching of thousands of eggs, the cleanliness maintained from the time they leave their shells and are placed in the warm brooder until the time they are about twelve weeks old and are prepared for the market. Feeding, killing, plucking, packing and shipping are shown in their order. An exceptionally interesting view is given of the gradual birth of the duckling from the time the egg is placed in the incubator until the little bird forces its way out of the shell, and staggers about until it becomes dry and is able to join its little brothers and sisters. The final scene shows a family at dinner enjoying the delicious slices of roast fresh duck.

This note falls into the hands of Perkins, whose brain becomes fired with jealousy and whose evil mind can see nothing but wrong in every action. Perkins bides his time and upon seeing Dick alone in a canoe fires at him, causing Dick to fall into the water helpless. Mrs. Perkins hears the shot, and, looking toward the lake, sees Dick slowly sinking. Without a moment's hesitation she leaps into the river and rescues him. Perkins is finally made to realize his mistake, and also to appreciate his wife whose drudging days are about over at the time when Dick marries her sister.
