He pulls down part of Carson Belfield's pasture fence so as to drive the cows through. Belfield, who is sitting on a stump smoking his pipe watching his two children, Walton and Hulda, rises angrily and, rifle in hand, goes toward Jabez. Belfield orders Jabez to stop pulling down the fence and when he refuses, shoots him. James Morton, with his wife, Eliza, and their two young boys, Boone and William, run to the pasture. They vow to revenge Jabez. Fifteen years later, William and Boone while walking in the mountains, see Walton and Hulda. William fires at them, but misses his aim. Boone refuses to shoot, saying, "I do not make war on women." A few days later, Boone is sitting alone in the mountains and is surprised by Hulda. He lowers his rifle and laughs. Angered by his manner, Hulda fires at him, hitting him in the knee. Ashamed of her act, she kneels beside him and bandages his wound. When she leaves, her cheeks are flushed and there is a soft light in her eyes. Boone looks toward her with deep interest. That night Hulda takes food to Boone. He seizes her hand and presses it to his lips. When she comes back the next day she is followed by her brother, Walton, who witnesses an affectionate greeting. He confronts Hulda as she is leaving and reviles her for her conduct. When he starts to shoot Boone she throws herself in the way and shrieks. Morris, a preacher, and William Morton hasten near. William forces Walton to surrender himself, and leads him off. The preacher goes with Hulda to Boone and joins the young couple in marriage. When he tells of this to the Mortons, William and his father, enraged, rush to find the couple. William fires at them, but misses. Walton and William engage in a desperate fight. Both fall down the mountainside and are killed. The two old fathers are overcome with grief when they see the tragedy and, in sight of Hulda, Boone and the preacher, they clasp hands over their dead sons, and agree to end their long warfare.
