Troop warns Farnum not to try anything. After Ollie announces his engagement, Dan tells him what he has learned. Ollie knew part of the story. That night Farnum puts the bite on Ollie for $5,000 which Ollie pays. The next morning Dan confronts Melanie as she packs. Farnum walks in and pulls a derringer on Dan. Ollie enters and is wounded by Farnum who is shot by Dan. Dan asks Ollie if he wants to press charges but he says not against the woman he is going to marry. Melanie who felt strongly for Ollie is willing.—Anonymous
