The Queen of Hearts (1910)
A romance of two worlds, having its inception m the banking house of Conklin. Cashier Black refuses to consider a loan on farmer Allen's farm for $5,000. Dick Harmon, the sweetheart of May Allen, the oldest daughter, is unfortunately poor, poor in purse, but rich in manhood, and this is the one reason he does not meet with favor with Cashier Black, who also has turned the father's mind against Dick. Dick decides to go to the gold fields and endeavor to seek his fortune there with hopes that some day he may return and claim the farmer's daughter. The bank cashier, seeing the reverse fortunes of farmer Allen, sees an opportunity to wend his way into the affections of the daughter by proffering financial assistance, and accordingly calls at the home and is introduced to May and at once presses his suit, takes a personal mortgage on the farm and shows many personal courtesies to Allen. In the meantime Dick has not found pan-washing a profitable venture and writes May discouragingly of his prospects. All serves to further Black's hold on the friendship of May, and the wedding day is set, the honeymoon begun; almost at the same moment a second message is received from Dick telling of his good fortune and referring to her coming marriage with Black, asks her to wait his arrival. However, she was unfortunately already on her way to Europe. Dick arrives at the old home only to find that he is too late. Later we find Black and his wife seated in their villa at Monte Carlo, their experiences in far-away Italy were not at all pleasing and many times May's mind would wander back to the little farm and her girlhood friend, Dick. A quick succession of events transpires rapidly and we find the mortgage is bought up by Dick and what appeared as an accident resulted in the death of Black. Then the return to America of May and her reuniting to her first love.
