Eddie's Exploit (1912)
Eddie, all dressed up for the party, is admonished by his mother not to get his clothes soiled and she also tells him that if he does be cannot go to the party with his little sister. Well, the same thing that happened to you in the past or, if you are young, very recently, happens to poor little Eddie and no one but Rowdy did it. Consequently he is not allowed to go to the party with his little sister. Eddie's little heart is broken. As a punishment, his mother forbids him to leave the house. He sits on the front stoop and confides to Rowdy the weariness of this world's troubles and Rowdy, like the good playfellow that he is, listens. Eddie gets a pencil and paper and writes a farewell note to his mother; slips it under the door; whistles to Rowdy and together they leave for the woods. Eddie seeks a high place on a granite boulder. Rowdy, full of spirits, wants to play, and in the scuffle Eddie falls down the front of the sheer cliff. Rowdy comes down the winding path at the cry of distress from his little master and taking the hat which Eddie gives him, runs home to tell his mother. We see the intelligent animal on a dead run to Eddie's home and when he gets to the front door he yelps and scratches till someone comes. Then he brings the mother and the maid straight to the place where Eddie is hanging, head downwards, caught by his heel. He is rescued and taken home, where a doctor pronounces him more scared than hurt. He sits up and begs forgiveness for disobedience, a trait of which he is undoubtedly permanently cured.
