The Schoolmaster of Mariposa (1910)
Old man Whey brings his two sons, Hank and Buck to the schoolmaster's cabin to arrange for their schooling. On leaving, accompanied by the Master, a riderless horse comes dashing down the road. After a hurried run around the bend they find Miss Williams lying unconscious by the roadside. The Master carries her to the village hotel and provides for her attention with the innkeeper. The next day the teacher being solicitous of her condition, calls and finds her much better, leaving some flowers and an invitation to visit the school. She does so in company with Stanchia her suitor. An admiration of more than passing notice is clearly apparent to the suitor to be mutual between the Master and Mrs. Williams. Hank and Buck are bent on deviltry instead of books and are seen on the school-roof pouring sulfur in the chimney and finally covering it up with a sack. The fumes were stifling and soon drive the occupants to the open. They being discovered by the schoolmaster are soundly trounced by him. Upon their return home, Daddy Whey decides with the encouragement of Stanchia that the Master must be brought to an accounting. The jealous suitor urges this on and accordingly the father proceeds to the Master who is left in a precarious condition, and Whey is arrested. Three years later things have made many changes and now the once Miss Williams is the wife of the schoolmaster of Mariposa, and he has attained a great history as an artist and flourishing in the results thereof.
