A Transplanted Prairie Flower (1914)
Throughout the sparsely settled districts of the rolling west, the arrival of the mail constitutes an event, so when Jim rode up to the house and handed Mary a letter bearing the New York postmark, she was in a flutter of excitement to learn its contents. It turned out to be a message from her aunt urging her to come east in order to fit herself for the social position which she was destined to occupy, and adding that the probation of her father's will had disclosed a more considerable fortune than anyone had expected. Jim was, of course, sorry to see her leave, but he concealed his real feelings and urged her to carry out the plan. In due time, Mary reached the great city of New York. New experiences crowded in on every side, not the least of which was her meeting with Robert Goodall, the "Social Lion" of the moment. Mary's stories of the glowing west captivated the man but, unfortunately, they also aroused the jealousy of Alice, who had set her cap for the dashing Mr. Goodall. Among Mrs. Wilson's proudest possessions was a valuable pearl necklace. She took pride in showing it to her guests, but on Goodall's inquiry whether she intended to wear it to the masked ball to which they were all invited, she announced that they were too valuable to risk. Mary was to attend the ball in her old cowgirl costume, but thoughts of Jim caused her to change her plans at the last moment and remain at home. While sitting in her room she was startled by a sudden noise. Creeping down the stairs, she was horrified on seeing a burglar at work on her aunt's safe. The burglar discovered her at the same moment, and each of their pistols flashed in the darkness. When the light was flashed on, Mary was astonished at finding Goodall standing before her, nursing a broken wrist. Attracted by the shots, the servants rushed in, followed by Mrs. Wilson, Alice and the police, and the "Social Lion" stood unmasked. Sickened by the sordidness of the whole matter, Mary decided to return to Jim and her beloved west. Her advent, clothed in all her eastern finery, gave Jim the surprise of his life and filled his heart with joy over the return of his Prairie Flower.
