The Woman (1913)
John Walton has contracted consumption and when his wife, Mary, returns from her engagement as singer, the doctor advises that they go to Arizona. Later we find them in a little shack on the desert. Their funds are almost depleted when word comes that a new gold reservation is to be opened. Donning a suit of her husband's, Mary leaves him in charge of an Indian squaw and goes to enter the rush. On the trail she overtakes a couple of men and a woman and she joins them, they thinking that she is a man. When the rush starts, Mary's horse falls and she, unconscious, is taken to the hospital, where her sex is discovered. Later we find her singing in a concert hall. Here she is insulted by a drunken man and Tom Broughton, one of the men she overtook on the trail, comes to her rescue. He later proposes marriage, and she knowing that her husband is in need and having lost her position, consents, not telling him that she is married. They have been happily married for some time when she receives word from the squaw that her husband has died. With nothing in life now to live for, she kills herself, leaving a letter explaining her past.
