His Indian Bride (1910)
Harvey Kingston falls in love with and marries a beautiful Indian school teacher, despite the bitter opposition of his family, bringing her to his home in New York. His proud and angry mother plans a mock reception. She invites all her friends and prepares them with knives, hatchets, forks and other kitchen implements; and, at the entrance of the young couple, gives the signal, and they all begin a war dance about the astonished and trembling groom and bride. The father, touched by the cruelty of the situation and the wonderful beauty and innate refinement of his Indian daughter-in-law, interferes in his wife's malicious insult and orders the guests from the house. He then acknowledges the union of his son and the Indian girl and compels his wife and daughter to do likewise. Because of the bitterness of his mother and sister toward his wife, Kingston furnishes an establishment of his own and duly installs his young bride therein. His family visits him at times, and the Indian girl often visits her father-in-law. The worth of the Indian girl is made apparent from the first, and when she jeopardizes her own unsullied reputation to save that of her husband's sister, whom she discovers in an intrigue, she keeps the secret even when, led by circumstances, the husband suspects her. Again when she telegraphs her brother to bring on sufficient money to New York to save the elder Kingston from financial ruin, she is once more suspected by her husband; and still she will not speak. She also forbids the father to tell. She yearns for a love that trusts. Urged on by his mother and sister, he openly accuses his faithful young wife, and she, without a word of accusation against him, nor of vindication for herself, goes back with her brother to her Indian home. Conscience-smitten, his sister confesses her part in the intrigue, and even his mother relents, and they all assist him eagerly when he prepares to go after his wife. A good wife will always open her arms to a penitent husband, especially when that husband kneels before her and kisses the hem of her skirt. That is what Harvey Kingston did, and so would you and any honest man do the same. And his Indian bride took him back.
