An Unfair Game (1910)
A fashionable society lady, to escape social whirl and exactions, and suffering from ennui, induces her father to take her on one of his annual fall shooting trips to the wilds of northern Canada. Her intended husband promises to join them later. Located in their camp, far away from civilization and surrounded by primeval forests, "Trapper Joe," who is one of nature's sons, unsophisticated, untutored, and unaccustomed to the ways of the ultra monde, happens into camp and beholds Margaret, who breaks upon his astonished gaze like a vision of loveliness. Unused to the charms and graces of women of such refinement and higher birth, he is infatuated and at once enslaved by her beauty. Margaret observes this, and for pastime and amusement, plays upon Joe's susceptibility, and leads him on by her winning ways and practiced coquetry, until he is completely dazzled, like the poor moth flittering about the brilliant flume. His heart and mind are engrosses until the increasing passion of his soul bursts forth in a declaration of his love, and he wildly enfolds her in his arms and madly kisses her. Margaret, with her husband-to-be and her father, leaves camp and returns to the city, where later on she marries. While her happiness seems complete, wedding bells are ringing and the nuptials arc being celebrated, "Trapper Joe" is seen lost in a stupor of self-reproach and dazedly standing in the midst of a howling blizzard in his native forest. Suddenly his suffering bursts into a delirium, finally reaching a state of mental coma, in which he falls prone and helpless, soon becoming a victim of the relentless storm which enshrouds his body in a winding sheet of snow.
