It was nothing but contrariness on her father's part, so Dot declared, which kept him from realizing Ned Sherwood's superiority over Lewis Huntley, who, while not a bad man at heart, constantly spied upon her and told her father every time she and Ned met. The upshot of the matter was that Dan Nelson decided to send his daughter away to school. And it was after Jack has driven off with her for the station that Ned and Dan got into an argument. Hot-headedly the older man drew his gun and in the struggle which ensued, accidentally discharged it, wounding himself. As Ned bent over the unconscious form, however, he believed that he had killed his employer, and realizing that Dot would have to know, he ran breathlessly through the woods to head her off. Almost overcome with the great misfortune which she believed had fallen upon her, the girl still had presence of mind enough left to insist upon Ned going into hiding until things should quiet down. And right glad she was of her forethought, for, scarcely had Ned left the buggy than a posse of men, headed by Lewis, who had heard the shots and hurried to the old man's side, hove into sight. Sending them in an opposite direction from that which Ned had taken, Dot drove home with all possible speed, where she had the happiness of finding her father a slightly wounded, but very mad man. Knowing it was best for Ned to remain away for a few days, Dot hurried up to the cave with a basket of supplies. In turning quickly, however, to answer Ned's call, the girl fell from the rocks, and the result was a broken leg; so that, much against her will, Ned was forced to carry her home and brave the old man's wrath. Fortunately for him, Jack had succeeded in convincing Dan and the men that the wound had not been made by Ned's revolver, so that when the young man appeared with Dot, he was eagerly greeted, and while the doctor looked after Dot, Dan expresses his approval of Ned in a manner to cause the young man to beam with happiness.
