A well constructed story set in a mountainous mining country. It runs smoothly, doesn't drag and the acting is natural and very convincing. The early scenes show the coming of a pleasant-mannered stranger who is received in a friendly spirit by the miners; but who excites the hatred of a villainous Mexican. By this man he is wantonly stabbed. Being cared for by a young miner and his wife, he becomes very friendly with the family, and the miner's jealousy is awakened. The villain also has a hand in this. The miner pretends to kill himself and lives as a hermit in the hills. His home is an interesting cave, with an entrance through a hollow tree. He is the "ghost," and the picture continues, showing us how the stranger discovers him, having seen his face peering in through a window one night, and brings him home to his loving wife. It was after a baby had come. The closing scene is very poetic, showing the reunited father and mother and the little new arrival. The camera work is excellent. - The Moving Picture World, May 4, 1912
