The Colonel's Orderly (1914)

Grace Forsythe, the Colonel's daughter, discourages the attentions of Lieutenant Burton, and falls in love with her father's orderly. Private Berger, who is known at the Post as "The Man of Mystery." Burton steals some money from Colonel Forsythe, but suspicion points to Private Berger and the Colonel places him under arrest. In the meanwhile the Colonel's younger daughter, Mildred, and her governess, en route to the post, are attacked by Indians. The governess is killed and Mildred taken captive. Berger, rather than suffer a term in a military prison for a crime that he did not commit, escapes, and, discovering Mildred as captive, rescues her. Lieutenant Burton, fatally injured in the fight with the Indians, confesses to the robbery, and the mystery around Private Berger is solved. He is restored to his previous rank and the charge of assaulting a superior officer is stricken from his record.
