Surgeon Warren's Ward (1915)
Army Surgeon Warren has been made guardian of Alice Barth at her father's death. He falls in love with her. He has a rival for her hand in Captain Gordon. She loves Warren, however, and when Gordon proposes she refuses him. Warren's betrothal to his ward is announced at a ball given in their honor. Gordon, to get revenge, persuades a girl of the underworld to go to the ball with him, where she claims that the surgeon is betrothed to her. He denies it, but the girl sticks to her story and Warren is court-martialed and expelled from the army service. He goes to a lumber camp in the northwest. The sweetheart of the girl of the underworld grows jealous of Gordon's attentions to her. He forces her to go to the army officers and confess she had been bribed by Captain Gordon to pretend that she was the fiancée of Warren. A messenger is sent to find him and tell him that he is reinstated. Gordon goes to Alice Barth and persuades her to marry him and go on their honeymoon at once. She reluctantly consents, not knowing that Gordon is in reality fleeing because of the accusation against him. They wander from place to place, Gordon trying to escape detection, until they arrive at the forests where Warren is working. The captain is penniless. In desperation he steals from the lumber camp. He is caught by Warren, who saves him from the wrath of the lumberjacks. Gordon tells Warren that Miss Barth is dead. Then the messenger arrives, telling of Gordon's perfidy. Warren goes in search of Gordon and finds him in a little shack with Alice Barth, who is ill. The captain sees that he must face trial as a deserter and ends his life. The girl had never really ceased to love the surgeon and gladly goes back to the fort with him.
