She is bound by ties of blood ven- geance to Joe Lorey, a moonshiner, his father and her father, having been slain by the same man, Horace Holton. She is half in love with him; until one day there comes to the mountains, a young society man from the city; Frank Layson. ' He with a party of men and women are on an outing trip, and also looking up some mining claims. - With' them is Holton, in disgulse, He knows the value of the rich min- ing claim on the Brierly land and at- tempts'to buy them from her for $1,- 000.. Not: knowing of the value of money she accepts it. But Layson comes on the scene and finding out about the tramsaction, forces Holton to return the money and tear up the deed. To get revenge, Holton tells Joe Lorey that Layson has told the rev- enue agents about his illicit still, and at the same time informing the re:- enue officers himself. Lorey. immediately: hunts-for. Lay- son, finds him and the two have a terrible hand, to hand battle in which Layson s knocked unconscious. He puts dynamite under him to destroy allitraces, but his ‘better nature will not allow him to set it off. In the bushes watching, is Holton. When Lorey leaves he sets fire to. the fuse.

Holton agaln tries to get revenge by setting fire to the barn. But Madge rushes into the flames' and leads the horse ‘to gafety. As a last resort: Holton drugs the jockey. Again Madge, who suspects the man, learns of the plot, and don- . ning the jockey's costume, rides in . 'the.race and wins hy: a nose. _ Suspected himself, - Holton ' says that Joe Lorey 'is the. guilty ~man The night riders are called and go in search for him with a rope. They find him and are about to string »him up, when Madge comes on the scene, with proof as to Holton's ~deeds. He tries to escope but falls over a cliff. Then comes the great celebration of the race. Madge tries to slip away as she has been told by a.jealous rival that Layson is playing with her heart. But that night she was to learn whether he.loved her or not.
