Red Eagle's Love Affair (1910)
Gertrude Morton comes to visit her uncle's ranch. Red Eagle falls madly in love with her. Red eagle is always a welcome visitor at the Morton ranch and is there when Gertrude makes her first appearance on the scene. She regards with approving eye the lithe, sinewy figure, the clean cut features and that unconscious, half deferential, half masterful manner that is his mien. Gertrude is a born flirt. From babyhood she has been accustomed to queen it over men and her most commonplace remarks are uttered in a tone so caressing as to capture the masculine fancy. It is distressing to find that it is the round up period and that her rides are to be taken under the guidance of her uncle. But even this relaxation seems about to be denied her when a cowboy hurriedly summons Morton to the round up camp. Red Eagle's opportune appearance solves Morton's difficult problem of riding two ways at once and at Morton's request the Indian obtains a horse and prepares to squire the girl from the east. Tactfully he rides behind his fair companion but this does not please her and she makes an excuse for calling him to her side. She gets him interested in the ways of the east, induces him to learn to read and when at last the vacation comes to an end she expresses the hope that some day she will see him in the east. It is a careless speech but Red Eagle takes it seriously. Little Morning Bloom, his Indian sweetheart, who has patiently waited for the white girl to go that she might reclaim her lover, is dismayed to find that Red Eagle has decided to go to the Indian school at Carlisle. As a member of the football team Red Eagle is a person of some importance. Meeting the young men from other colleges he acquires what he considers to be the correct taste in dress and upon his graduation he seeks Gertrude Morton's home. The idea of a call from an Indian appeals to her guests and when Red Eagle's card is brought he is told to enter. His clothes are more gaudy than fashionable and despite his life in the open and the splendid training of the football field he carried himself awkwardly. Self-consciousness adds its torments and it is a thoroughly uncomfortable Indian who enters the parlor. Carried away by the sight of the girl for whom he has made the sacrifices Red Eagle proposes marriage only to be met with derisive scorn and, angrily tearing off the stiff collar and flaming tie, he decides to go back home where he finds little Morning Bloom still faithfully waiting for him. Content to remain an Indian he discards the clothes of civilization and returns to native dress and customs happy in the love of his squaw and the homage of his own people.
