Barley and Macintosh in a post tale of longing and drink
In a Texas post, Barclay's fall to drink strains a romance with Miss Cunningham as Macintosh, the steady suitor, seeks tactful restraint. Barclay's quarrel with Miss Cunningham's family and his mounting decline contrast with Macintosh's quiet resolve to reform and win the now hopeful future for the pair.
The Bet That Won a Man’s Reformation
Macintosh bets Barclay he can reform him without a drink. They trek to a deserted canyon town, endure a rattlesnake night and see Barclay driven to brink by fear. Morning brings resolve and a vow not to drink. Barclay marries Miss Cunningham, and Macintosh quietly gains no credit but a quiet victory.
