SATURDAY Living with his niece on a Western ranch, “Riddle Gawne” ,has devoted his life to the task of bringing to punishment the man who slew his younger brother, ran away with the faithless wife of the lad and left their daughter behind, leaving her to the tender care of her uncle. He is the deadly enemy of Hame Bozzam, leader of a band of cattle rustlers, and one day he rescues Kathleen Harkless, an Eastern girl of refinement, daughter of one of Bozzam’s henchmnen, from two of Bozzam’s rustlers. They fall in love with each other, and when Bozzam resolves to make Kathleen his wife, he orders Gawne’s death. Gawne is shot and seriously wounded by one of the rustlers, and Blanche Dillon, the plaything of Bozzam, nurses him. She contrives by an artifice to poison Kathleen’s mind against Gawne, her purpose being to win him herself. Gawne recovers and begins a crusade to drive Bozzam and his rustling band out of the country. Bozzam mortally wounds Harkless and abducts Kathleen. Gawne starts in pursuit and when he comes up with his quarry,- a fierce battle ensues in which Gawne’s leg is broken, Bozzam, believing himself the victor, gloatingly admits that he killed Gawne’s brother, stole the latter’s wife and broke her heart. Gawne, despite hrs injury grapples with Bozzam and strangles him. Kathleen appears and during the subsequent cays while she is nursing him back to health, the flame of their love is renewed.
