Nieda (1914)
Mrs. Graham, the wife of a New York businessman, dies in an insane asylum, leaving a little daughter four years old. Dr. Gould advises the father to take the child away from other people and bring her up in the open air. When she is twenty, he says, she may be brought back to civilization, without danger of inheriting her mother's tendencies. Nieda's nineteenth birthday finds her still living in the wilderness. For fifteen years she has seen no one except her father. Then she meets Jean Le Claire, a young trapper, who wanders into Mr. Graham's domain. Fearing results, the father tells the stranger to leave the vicinity or he will shoot him. Le Claire is in love with Nieda, however, and they continue to meet secretly. One day he falls from a cliff and is killed. Mr. Graham buries the body and tells his daughter that the stranger has gone away. She haunts the place where they first met, scattering flowers, and growing every day more childish. One evening Graham misses her. He finds her lying at the bottom of the cliff and realizes that she has tried to rejoin her lover, and arranges a test of the suitors. Eunice is convinced that Bruce is the nobler of the two, and that she never really cared for the city man.
