Weapons of Love (1916)

For many years there existed a feud between the Anson and Murrel clans. Bill Murrel who lives alone with his father is deeply religious, and often thinks of some way to end the feud. Tommie has reached the age when girls begin to wish for sweethearts and questions her grandmother. The old woman tells her that it is because none of the youths care to encounter a rifle bullet. When a child Tommie and young Bill Murrel frequently met at a secret hiding place, but since they have grown up, it is but a memory. One day while Tommie is playing, she is joined by Bill Murrel, who has been wandering through the woods. Tommie's brother sees the two and tries to kill Bill, but his shot is wild, and Tommie quickly shoves Bill back into the woods, and tells him to return across the line. "Bub," angry with his sister, starts handling her roughly, and Bill returns to her assistance. The two engage in a fistfight. Her father comes on the scene, and the old feud is revived. Anson warns Bill that he will gather his clan, and that Bill had better prepare his own followers. Tommie becomes stricken with the dreaded mountain fever. Bill learns of this, and one day while out with his followers enters an open place and prays for the recovery of the girl. While he is unarmed and praying, "Bub" comes on with his party and tries to shoot Bill. The sight of his enemy praying for the life of his own child comes home to Anson, and he angrily knocks the gun from his son's hand. The clans are reconciled and Bill and Tommie are brought together, soon to be married.
