Angus is a detective for a railroad company when something terrible happens. One of his schoolmates caught his attention, and robbers chose that moment (while he was distracted) to attack the train. He and Daisy (the old schoolmate) survived but were hurt.
They had to walk many miles for help. Angus was fired from his detective's job. Fortunately, he was on his way home for some R and R. Daisy was touring the Colorado mountains before returning to the same town. She had worked in Chicago, then moved and worked in Denver. After touring, she was preparing to open a pharmacy in her hometown.
This was a wordy book. The characters were interesting, but the author spent way too much time talking about Daisy and Angus getting married. One-fourth of the book could have easily been cut without destroying the story. I sometimes complain that a book ends too quickly. That is not true here; it went on and on ad nauseum. This book was boring and moved at a snail's pace.
