Her father objects to the match and there is a quarrel between the men. Jackson, another lumberman, seeing Jessie's father leaving the office on pay night with a large roll of bills, follows him and knocks him out. About this time Tom decides to leave the camp, and puts a note under the door of Jessie's home, addressed to her father, telling him that Jess and he alone know the reason for his departure. After his crime, Jackson passes the house, and, seeing the note, reads it. He has an idea whereby he can place the crime on Tom's shoulders. He places the wallet he stole in Tom's cabin. Later Jess finds her father's body and rushes to the men to tell them what has happened. Tom is missing, and this arouses suspicion against him.
