The story
“Ann begged so hard that her father should invite to the ranch a young Easterner with whom she had become acquainted on the train, which brought her home from the New York finishing school, that at last he consented. Ann’s father hadn’t much use for a ‘tenderfoot,’ although this one had saved his daughter from the unwelcome attentions of a ‘masher’ on her long journey alone and so was entitled, perhaps, to his hospitality. The young man came, and the train acquaintance ripened into love. Ann said ‘Yes’ with all her heart, but her father ordered Vincent Earle off the ranch. He went—but not alone. he and Ann ran away to Denver and were married. Returning to beg parental forgiveness, Earle carried in his pocket a small but ugly automatic. And though the Westerner was ready with a big revolver, the young Easterner managed to get the better of the situation, convincing the father of the bride that the East as well as the West breeds sturdy, self-reliant manhood.”
