The Final Reckoning (1914)
During a state ball given by the Secretary of War at Washington, James Daniels pays marked attention to Mrs. Groves, wife of Lieutenant Groves. Out of politeness Mrs. Groves is nice to him; he persuades her to walk in the garden with him. Lieut. James tells Groves that all Washington is gossiping about the attention of Daniels to Mrs. Groves, and to prove the truth of the gossip, points to Daniels and Mrs. Groves seated among the trees. Groves, mad with jealousy, accuses Daniels and in the struggle that follows between the two men Mrs. Groves is killed. Daniels accuses Groves of killing the woman, and Groves is found guilty upon the evidence of Daniels. So sure that Groves is innocent, his friends waylay the prison van on its way to the prison and liberate Groves, who escapes. Twenty years pass; the scene of the story shifts to a western fort, with Colonel James in command. Daniels, who is now Indian Commissioner, on a trip of inspection, breaks a treaty with the Indians, causing them to go on the warpath. Daniels in his attempt to escape becomes entangled in a bed of quicksand and is slowly sinking, when Groves, who has been watching the attack on the stagecoach and the cowardice of Daniels, appears to watch the man who he has been trailing for twenty years die by an act of Providence.
