The Creeping Flame (1914)
Wilbur is foreman of a mine in the western country. Jane, his sweetheart, lives on a nearby ranch. One day she rides over to the mine. While they are talking the miners enter and jokingly remind Wilbur that it is payday. The foreman allows Jane to pay off the men. The boys leave for a holiday in town. The foreman too, plans to take a day off and starts to saddle his horse. Suddenly he gashes his arm. The blood spurts from the deep wound. He tries in vain to staunch it. Jane ties her scarf around the wound, but the blood flows too strongly. She rides for the doctor. The foreman, too weak from loss of blood to walk, lies on a pile of straw. Finally he lights a cigarette, carelessly throwing the match down. Instantly the straw is alight and burning toward him. Painfully he drags himself out to the cool powder house. The fire creeps closer. Jane and the doctor are coming. The red flames are licking the side of the powder house. The foreman, now almost unconscious, is just the other side of the partition, Jane and the doctor arrive. A feeble call tells them where the wounded man is. Just in time they rescue him. The powder house is blown to atoms a moment later.
