One day the post-rider is given some valuable jewelry by a wealthy country gentleman, with instructions to deliver it most carefully at the other end of his route. On the way, as was his custom, the post-rider stops to refresh his horse and eat his noon meal, which he shares with his dog. Feeling sleepy, he decides to indulge himself to the extent of a brief nap, and lying down, endeavors to stretch out and feel comfortable. But his post-bag, which he wears slung across his shoulders, annoys him and he takes it off, and laying it beside him, orders Max to watch it. He oversleeps, but Max soon realizes this fact and proceeds to waken him. Starting up in great haste, he mounts his horse and rapidly rides away, forgetting his post-bags entirely. Max does not forget it, however, but runs swiftly after him, and circling about him, springs at his horse's head, barking and growling in his endeavors to get him to return. The dog's actions finally become so extravagant that his master regretfully decides that he has gone mad, and pulling his pistol from his belt, shoots him and rides away to make up the time lost through his delay. Poor, faithful Max, wounded and dying, rises weakly and crawling painfully back to their recent bivouac, lies down beside the treasure he had been told to guard, and here he is later discovered by his deeply sorrowing master, who has been made aware of the loss of his post-bag and returns to recover it.
