A Cattle Herder's Romance (1911)
David Blair, foreman of the Red River Ranch, asks John Durham, owner of the ranch, for his consent to marry his daughter Rachel. The rancher, refusing, the young lovers decide to elope. Riding to the nearest settlement they are quickly married, and ride to a small cabin close to the top of a nearby mountain, where the young couple plan to live as brother and sister while waiting for forgiveness from Rachel's father. Allen Ford, a cowboy employed on an adjacent ranch, while traveling over the mountains, becomes lost and sustains an injury through a gall. The accident is witnessed by Rachel, who quickly calls David from the cabin and he works his way to the injured stranger. Finding him apparently badly hurt, Blair throws him over his shoulder and carries him to his temporary home, where he is introduced to Rachel as Blair's sister. As Ford convalesces, he falls in love with his handsome nurse. This causes an unpleasant situation, and as soon as he is able to travel, he is invited to leave. In the meantime the rancher Durham has relented, and offers a reward for information leading to the location of Blair and his daughter. Ford, seeing the advertisement, and thinking that Blair is to be arrested for some crime, out of revenge, goes to the nearest town and informs the sheriff of the hiding place in the little mountain cabin, offering to lead the way to the couple's retreat. On arriving at the mountain top, the sheriff hands Rachel a note reading: "My daughter Rachel has eloped and married my foreman, David Blair. I will pay $100.00 in gold to anyone who will reach and assure them of my pardon, providing they return home to the ranch at once." This note was as pleasant a surprise to the happy couple as it was disappointing to Ford.
