The Light of St. Bernard (1912)
Marie, a self-dependent girl, compromises herself by associating with Petro Maquin. She asks him to keep his promise to marry her. He ignores her and leaves the village to join a band of wreckers. The gossips circulate scandal about her, bringing reproach upon her name. The town's folks slum her and even revile her. Pere Martin rebukes their unchristian-like conduct and takes Marie under his care. Raoul, the old lighthouse keeper, who is growing feeble, and now left alone by the death of his wife, needs assistance. Pere Martin obtains the position for Marie, thinking it will remove her from the sneers of the village. She does her duty well, and the old man trusts her and depends upon her. Raoul is taken ill and Marie sends for Pere Martin. Raoul dies and Marie keeps the death watch for him, Petro Maquin, with a gang of wreckers, having heard of a well-laden ship that is likely to pass the coast that night, enters and demands that Marie put out the lights. She refuses. Petro chokes her and binds her hands behind her back, leaving her half-dead on the floor. Petro and his gang put out the lights, and go to watch for the wreck. Marie recovers. With great exertion she drags herself to a chair, on which is a lighted candle, and, turning her back to the flame, burns the cords from her hands, breaks into the upper lighthouse and relights the lamps. She is discovered in a faint by Pere Martin. Her heroic deed is known and she is rewarded and praised in public for her heroism and faithfulness.
