The Parson and the Medicine Man (1912)

The little Indian girl. Fawn, took an aversion to the Medicine Man of her tribe, though commanded by her father to marry him. In effecting her escape from the red man she was befriended by a white, and the white in this case was a kind-hearted parson to whom the little aborigine promptly hands her heart. But the parson was not a very robust specimen of manhood; he was tubercular. He fell sick, and Fawn as she was known, nursed him. In her ministrations she was discovered by the Indian whose suit she discouraged. He was on the point of dragging her off by main force when the poor parson rose to the occasion and saved the girl at the pistol point. Then there was another struggle in which the jealous Indian, for the time being, was paramount. But help was at hand and he was finally secured before he could carry out his scheme of abducting the unwilling girl. The clergyman recovers and inasmuch as the girl has probably saved his life, he, out of gratitude, sends her east to school, and the Medicine Man to a reservation.
