The Mystery of Mary (1915)
Meeting in a most peculiar manner, and under the strangest circumstances, a beautiful young girl, Tryon Dunham offers his assistance on learning she has no money or friends in the city. She will not tell her name, but seeing she is evidently a girl of refinement, he respects her wishes and asks no questions. He borrows his sister's hat and a coat from his mother and brings them to the girl, then buys her a ticket to Chicago. He rides on one station with her, and her last words are, "Call me Mary." Tyron gets into serious difficulties over the purloined clothing, from which he has difficulty in extricating himself. Judge Blackwell, Tryon's senior partner, sends Tryon to Chicago on business, and the young man is highly pleased, as he hopes to find the girl there. On his arrival in the Windy City, he employs a detective, but without result. Then, by chance, he locates the girl in the home of a friend, where she is employed as parlor maid. He proposes marriage and is accepted, then she tells him her story. It seems that her cousin Richard, coveting the fortune left her had everything prepared for railroading her to an insane asylum, then he, posing as her husband, was to "manage" her fortune. On the train she had overheard the plot, escaped and met Tryon. She had feared to tell anyone her story lest they think her really insane. Tryon and Mary are married, but the cousin butts in again and abducts her. A daring leap enables Tryon and the detectives to catch the Washington express, and after a sensational arrest of the girl's captors, Tryon and Mary speed on to happiness.
