Her Mountain Home (1912)
Ralph Kennington, dying of thirst in the alkali dust of the desert, staggered forward until exhaustion stared him in the face. Instinctively his hand clutched at the pebbles when lo. to his astonished gaze a dull yellow glow announced the magic word, "Gold!" James Raleigh found him there, helped him recover, and moved him into his home. The two became fast friends and were the first to hurry back to the gold field. Among those who joined that first mad rush to the gold fields were old man Hadley and his daughter Marguerite. Years of unsuccessful mining had greatly impoverished his fortune and health, so when at last he found his claim rich beyond his dreams, the poor old miner's heart gave out, leaving pretty Marguerite without a protector. Ralph and James took her in and for some months everything moved smoothly. Both men fell deeply in love with their young housekeeper. James made love to her in his bold way, pleading that she run away with him. But Ralph pursued different methods. Without saying a word to anyone of his intentions, Ralph built on the mountain side, a magnificent home, biding his time until it should be finished when he would ask her to be its mistress. Jim made better headway. The two planned an elopement and left suddenly one day with only a little note to explain their disappearance. Ralph found it. Heartbroken he strolled aimlessly to town. In the meantime the eloping couple stopped at a neighboring store before boarding the stage for their journey. Marguerite went inside while Jim waited. When she again emerged her horror-stricken eyes saw Jim tightly clasping the form of a strange young woman, who evidently had just reached town from the east. Jim had no thought of Marguerite. With his former love he sauntered carelessly down the street. Then Ralph appeared, and, taking in the situation at a glance, put his arm about the tearful Marguerite and led her to the new home on the mountainside.
