Mrs. Wainwright wins by a very odd score, thirteen plus. Everyone thinks this very mysterious. All go out to a camp fire except Mr. Channing, who is writing a manuscript. Flora, the cook, is hunting for her niece, Meriam, and comes into the room where Channing is seated. Ethel Kelcy appears and asks Channing to help her with trouble he knows nothing about and he must promise not to inquire about it. The Judge and Channing have a quarrel because the latter wants to marry the former's daughter, Ethel. Soon there is news that Judge Kelcy has been shot and everyone is held under arrest by Mr. Jeirey, an employee of the government. Chan- ning is accused of the act first because of the previous quarrel which had just taken place between the two. One after another is accused until all are suspicioned of the murder. Mr. Jeffrey collects the guns of all the mem- bers of the camp and finds that Miss Kelcy's is missing. Eleanor finds it in the fireplace at the opportune moment, which makes it appear as if Ethel were guilty of the crime. Channing tells of seeing a Woman, later turning out to be Flora, on the roof when the Judge was shot. Channing scares the truth from Meriam, who has taken part in the murder. Flora also admits her presence on the roof, but denies firing the shot. Channing ties George,,a guide, to a chair and calls for Marie. He then crawls upon the roof where the woman was seen and there finds a hidden bootlegging room. He forces the truth from Marie, who tells him that she and George are taking charge of the room. She was taking George's place and accidentally fired the shot. Just at the critical moment, Judge Kelcy enters and all are surprised to see that he is alive. This was only a plan of Judge Kelcy and Jeffrey to capture the rum-runners in that region known as thirteen plus. Mr. Channing finishes his manuscript which turns out to be Thirteen Plus and finally receives the consent of Judge Kelcy to marry Ethel. Evustm..
