Off the Road (1913)
"If you do not pay the money you owe me at once. Beware!" This is the angry threat of James Farrar to Robert Evers, whom he claimed, owed him a large amount of money for which he is in great need. Farrar meets Evers, and demands the money. Being refused, he kills Evers and the crime is never fastened upon him. Mrs. Farrar, through grief over the suspicion against her husband, dies. Farrar, in remorse of conscience, moves with his daughter from the city, far away from civilization and off from the beaten road into the heart of a dense forest, where he builds a cabin, hoping to forget the memories of the past. Robert Evers, Junior, the son of the murdered man, now grown to manhood, visits the forest in which Farrar and his daughter have their home. He accidentally sprains his foot and sitting on a fallen tree, unable to walk further. Estelle Farrer comes along and he tells her what has happened. She brings liniment and bandages to him with which she rubs and bandages his foot. He falls desperately in love with her and when she takes him to her home and introduces him to her father, Farrar becomes greatly exercised. He sees such a strong resemblance in young Evers to his father, it seems to him as if a vision of his victim has appeared before him. Young Evers recovers from his accident. He declares his love for Estelle and she accepts him as her affianced husband. Suddenly, a shot is heard. The young man rushes into the cabin and finds Farrar dead upon the floor. He sees, lying on the table, a confession, admitting having killed Mr. Evers. Young Evers takes the paper and burns it, so that Estelle may never know of her father's crime. He then comes out for Estelle, tenderly breaks the news to her and comforts her in her grief, telling her that she will soon be his wife and he will care for and protect her and she will he the light and hope of his life.
