All Rights Reserved kk THE ESCAPE OF JIM DOLAN yi taESTE'R/fE'R'S IJVGEJVVITy 79 Z30 FIRST REEL. JIM DOLAN, an ideal type of cowboy, is the reigning favorite at the Wellingtons' party and his attentions to the beloved daughter, Grace, appear to be relished not only by the young lady, but her stalwart brothers. Ed Jones, the husky, cheeky foreman of the Brown ranch, tries to "butt in," and steal Grace from Jim. Jim is seen in his own lone cabin by the spring on his little claim. Brown, the neighboring ranch owner, and Jones, his foreman, ride in, the former insisting that Jim sell out to him, which Jim refuses. Thereupon, the bulldozing Brown points out to him that he can make it hot for him. Jones attempts to join in with his master, but is quickly silenced. This adds fuel to his flame of hate, and he concludes to get good and even with Jim, and put him out of the running. He picks several hides conspicuously branded from a bale of green ones back of the Brown corral. He secretly takes them out along Jim's fence line by night, finds a loose post which he lifts up, places the hides in a hole and replaces the earth. The next move is to report "cattle missing." The Sheriff is summoned and the ranch owner directs his foreman to help track the rustler. They find recent hoof marks about Jim's premises, and observing the fence post suspiciously loose, lift it up and discover the "planted" missing pelts. Jim is about to leave the Wellington home when the Sheriff and Jones come upon the scene. The Sheriff handcuffs Jim in spite of the protestations of Grace and her relatives. The Western court gives him a ten years' sentence. He is confined in the town calaboose. Grace and her family are sure that Jim has been imposed upon through some malign motive and is absolutely inno- OC CAST JIM DOLAN Tom Mix ED JONES Lester Cuneo JOHN WELLINGTON Nip Van TOM WELLINGTON Vic.

Jim rides on, finds md relay and again spurs forward. The posse presumably follow him all night, and through superior arrangements have a relay of fresh horses in the morning. In the interim, Jim's last mount goes lame, but, Jim Dolan is game, leaving his faithful steed limping he goes on. Weary as he is, he drags his rifle from the holster and takes it with him. He hears the hoof beats of the approaching posse as he nears a water course. Knowing that they will find his footprints he walks into the river close to the ford. He breaks his rifle, discards the butt of the piece, submerges himself in the water and breathes through the barrel of the gun. The posse come, pass over the ford and then ride back again through the water as Jim resorts to his former ingenious tactics,^ effectually escaping observation. He emerges unarmed and is captured by Apaches. They have a choice amusement that consists of tying a man to the tail of a wild horse and dragging him, outdoing the treatment of the fabled Mazeppa at the hands of the Tartars. Happily Jim is rescued by a prospector, who nurses him back to health. In the interim, the treacherous foreman, Jones, is mortally wounded in a saloon brawl and he confesses his crime against Jim Dolan. But Jim Dolan has seemingly disappeared. The local papers tell at length of the confession, establish beyond doubt the innocence of Jim Dolan. Jim Dolan, away off in the mountains, lives with the lone prospector who comes to town for supplies, and carries back among other essentials a newspaper, which has the confession. Jim rewards the prospector for all his kindness and tells him he must make for the settlement at once, explaining that he was the wrong man who has been righted by a tragedy. Jim, footsore and travel-stained, comes back _ into the game of life for good and Grace Wellington becomes his chiefest treasure. • T ^
