Lucky Jim (1912)

In the first place Jim Baldwin has earned the sobriquet of Lucky Jim. Jim is a fine fellow, yet the sort that doesn't find favor with the boys. The ranchman's daughter, Bess, comes to the ranch and all the boys are introduced to her, except Jim. Later on the ranchman takes Bess out, accompanied by all the boys, except Jim. The boys laugh at him as they go out and he is left alone, but presently the girl returns for some reason or other, and in getting off her horse, hurts a foot or seems to. Jim picks her up in his arms and carries her off, Lucky Jim. Later on the girl's father is bitten by a snake. The boys run for a doctor, but Jim remains and draws out the venom with his lips. "Thus he saves the ranchman's life and wins his favor and a wife." Soon again, an old Indian is rescued from the clutches of a disreputable character by Bess. The gratitude is shown when he gives her gold and also the right to a claim. But Jim is also a sharer on this deal, accompanying Bess to the old Indian "dug-out." The latter gives him an equal interest with Bess, rightly judging that one day she'll be his squaw. "Thus, again, we see Lucky Jim, and how all things come to him." At the grave of the old Indian "In silent prayer kneel Jim and Bess, and comes old Bear Grease them to bless."
