In the Furnace Fire (1912)
John Penell and Mary Nelson become acquainted through a chance meeting. He is very courteous and she invites him to call on her at her home--where he meets her sister Kate and falls in love with her. John and Kate meet frequently after this, and one day when Kate calls to see John at the express office, where he is employed as a driver, he introduces her to Frank Johnson, the shipping clerk, who is much taken with her and later manages to meet her. He tells her that John is a thief and so poisons her mind against him that she throws John over for Frank. Kate tells Mary about John's dishonesty, but she does not believe it and does not rest until she tells John of the aspersion which Johnson has cast upon him. He gives up his position and takes a job on an ocean liner as a stoker. Johnson marries Kate, but they do not live happily together. Mary, feeling certain of John's innocence, is determined to prove it. She employs a detective, who takes a position in the express office with Johnson and discovers that Johnson is the thief, and he, to escape detection, has accused John of the thefts. Mary, after Johnson's arrest, writes John and tells him all about it and says he can come home without fear, as his innocence has been proven. Mary calls on Kate and offers her a home with her, which she refuses. Losing her temper, she roundly denounces Mary and accuses her of spying on her husband for a man who does not care about her. As she says this, John enters. He looks at Kate and tells her that she is mistaken, then proves it by clasping Mary in his arms and taking her from the room.
