The girl's father becomes suspicious and drives the man from the cabin and orders his daughter to go with the stranger. Pierre never forgets Jeanne and one night, while near Niklo's cabin, he hears a woman's screams and discovers that the man is mistreating the girl whom he, Pierre, yet loves. He rescues Jeanne from the brute, her husband, and is about to punish the man when Niklo accidentally meets his death. Pierre later continues his wooing of Jeanne as in the days of yore and happiness come to them both.
