An Indian Chief's Generosity

A chief of an Indian encampment orders one of the tribe to take his two children to the river. As the boys ate paddling, two white men pass, and one raises his rifle and wounds one of the children. The child is carefully carried back to the camp, and when the tale is told, the chief orders one of the braves to follow the "Palefaces." Crouching in the grass, the Indian follows the two men, and sees them ride up to an encampment. Quickly the news is carried back to the chief, and at night the Indians steal upon the encampment and carry off the owner's little boy. When the father discovers his loss, he sets out with two men, one of whom wounded the Indian's son, to the Indian's camp. As they arrive, the chief meets them with his wounded son, and asks the latter to point out who shot him. The child identities the man, who is dragged away, while the Indian chief at once gives up the white child to his father. —Moving Picture World synopsis
