Leaves of a Romance (1911)
In the film we see a young woman and her father, eastern people of means, at a hotel in the far west. In the party is a young man, whose marked attentions to the girl are obviously not to her liking. One day while sauntering along she is perplexed as to the right path to take. Pausing at a brook she meets a young westerner, who is resting with his horse, and asks him the directions. The easiest way is straight across the brook, and gallantly he assists her across. This leads to a little conversation and it is evident that there is a mutual attraction. A few days later the eastern man, while out walking with the girl, becomes so offensive in his attentions that she starts to go home alone. This does not deter him and it is getting to a point where she is almost in fear when the young westerner appears on the scene and interferes. The news of this reaches the girl's father, who is strongly in favor of a marriage with the eastern man, and in order to keep his daughter from any further communication with the westerner, decides to leave for the east in the morning. The young girl, distressed at leaving her western admirer, manages to send him a leaf from her scrap book. The rest follows as it properly should. The westerner assists the girl to escape from their hotel in the evening and they go on horseback to the nearest minister, where they are married.
