She says most emphatically NO; her father whereupon kicks him out. The rich banker cries "revenge." May meets Dan, the engineer, and the meeting is witnessed by the outraged banker, who persuades the haughty railroad president to fire Dan. May sticks to her hero, however, and the banker must needs think of something else. Dan gets a job in the cheese factory. The banker notes this, "curses." The banker bribes Shorty to call a strike of the cheese employees, and at the appointed time no one can be found to run the Cheese Special to deliver the cheeses, but yes, brave Dan volunteers and mans the engine, and the infuriated banker and his vile associates determine to wreck it. They plot, and are overheard by the faithful May, who goes to stop the special and warn Dan, but alas, she is seen and the cowards tie the brave girl to the tracks. The fiendish crew watch the oncoming train; she will be crushed, but no. Dan sees a woman on the tracks and in a thrice jumps from the cab and stops the engine with one hand, a heroic deed. The villains attack Dan and he is knocked down, and the girl secured and taken off on a hand-car by the banker. He carries her from the hand-car to the boat, loses his balance and they fall in the water, where May is rescued by the pursuing Dan and the rascally banker and his associates are taken by the police, who arrive in the nick of time.
