The producer has made a good picture of it, speedy, fresh and convincing.

This title at once warns us that the picture's denouement is an escape "over the divide" from a sheriff's posse. It is a fairly innocent man this time. He had received stolen goods, it is true; but we are not sure he knew what they were. He was caught with the goods and in bad company, and the boys were about to hang him; but the girl, who knew that he was not at the place when the stage was held up, saves him. This seems trite enough; but the producer has made a good picture of it, speedy, fresh and convincing. The girl took too long to cut the rope; but there is nothing in the picture that isn't true to human hearts. There is no vivid characterization in it; but the figures are all individual and that keeps the story alive. It is very well photographed. - The Moving Picture World, July 6, 1912
