A Cowgirl Cinderella (1912)

Jack Rae, after working hard, graduates from college, but contracts a bad cough, and the doctor orders him to go to Arizona. He duly arrives at his ranch, and makes the acquaintance of the "help," Abigail. There is a girl, of course, who is fascinated with Jack's face and manners. Her name is Evelyn. She is visiting her uncle and aunt, who live upon the adjoining ranch. Evelyn is to be given a party. She gets her things ready and discovers that the heel of one of her white slippers is loose. She asks a cowboy to take it to the village to be fixed. He does this, but loses it on the way. Jack comes along the slipper and confiscates it, and falls promptly and foolishly in love with its unknown owner. Despite the amusement he causes his uncle and aunt, Jack places the slipper on the mantel. Abigail thinks this silly, and Bill, another cowboy who has his eye on Abigail, thinks she is the same to even think of the easterner. The great evening arrives, and Jack forgets the romance of the shoe before the attraction of Evelyn. They become great friends immediately. This suits Bill, who gets all the dances he wants with Abigail. Evelyn calls to see Jack's uncle and aunt. She sees the shoe and twits him with treasuring it. He tries it on her foot. He later sees the mute and suggests they he like the shoes, an impertinent suggestion, which meets with response and approval. Abigail of the story of the slipper and tries to see what losing her shoe will do. Bill finds the substantial affair and repairs the gate hinge with it. Abigail cries and Bill apologizes nicely and makes good, with the aid of his horseshoe ring.
