The Lost Ribbon (1911)
Jennie, the pretty daughter of a hardy pioneer cattleman is admired by all of her father's cowboys, but she smiles only upon one. Dick, the best cowpuncher in the bunch, is her favorite. Seeing a pretty piece of ribbon with which Jennie has bedecked herself, Dick suggested that the ribbon be divided, she to keep one piece and he the other. The same morning on which this ribbon episode occurred the father and mother of Jennie are called away to see a sick relative. After seeing her father started on the trail Jennie while returning to the house loses her share of the ribbon, which was picked up by Frank, a rejected suitor. Knowing that Dick is favored by Jennie, Frank shows him the piece of ribbon and tells him that Jennie gave it to him. A lively quarrel follows; the two men being separated by the ranch boss, who suggests that the party of boys ride to the ranch cabin and learn from Jennie whether or not she gave the ribbon to Frank. While the quarrel about the ribbon is going on a band of Snake Indians have attacked the cabin. Jennie and her young brother bar the doors and windows and take refuge in the upper story. The cowboys arrive on the scene just as the Indians have broken down the door. A short and sharp battle takes place. The Indians are driven away and Jennie and her brother rescued. As the rescued and rescuers are gathered together, Frank, realizing his false position, confesses to Dick that he found the ribbon and hands it over.
