The Old Silver Watch (1912)
Poor Widow Mrs. Scranton dies, leaving two children, Frank and Mildred; she gives Frank her silver watch. Having no immediate relatives, the children are adopted by two families of means; they meet again years later. Mildred is attacked by a thief who tries to steal her pocketbook; Frank comes to her assistance and gets the thug arrested. Not recognizing each other, Frank and Mildred fall in love and become engaged. The wedding is about to be performed by the clergyman when the thief sneaks into the house, and seeing Frank, shoots at him. The ball strikes the old silver watch in Frank's vest pocket. Frank takes the time-piece from his pocket and Mildred recognizes it; from it they learn their true relationship and it is renewed.
