A typical melodrama with the usual villainy and heroics. It is a logging story, set in the Maine woods in winter time and has some extremely beautiful forest pictures, such as the falling pine cut on the hillside, the great log dragger making its way, with puffing steam and a long train behind it, along the snowy forest road. The hero of the picture, by the way, is left bound and helpless one dark night in the path of this tremendous monster. His brave wife runs slipping along the icy road to save him. It is true that the audience laughed at wrong times; but it was a sophisticated audience. - The Moving Picture World, June 8, 1912
