Pawns of Fate (1914)
After the new governor takes office, he is urged by the politicians of his party to dismiss from supporters of the defeated organization from office but he retains in office those who have demonstrated their fitness. One of the fortunate office holders is an old chief clerk who has been in the service of the State for many years. Both he and his daughter are very grateful to the governor for his kindness. The governor has two beautiful daughters, twins, to whom he and his wife are greatly devoted. The children, through the treachery of their nurse, fall into the hands of a band of thieves and a message is sent to the governor that unless he pardons a criminal, awaiting execution, he will never see his children again. Drawn between love for his children and his duty to the State he is unable to make a decision, when a telephone bell rings and he is told that his girls have been rescued by the daughter of the old clerk and her fiancé, a young police officer. His girls safely restored to him, the governor learns of the great danger which the brave girl and her sweetheart faced in rescuing the children, and he realizes more than ever that a little act of official kindness towards an old servant of the State has resulted in restoring his little girls to him.
