A Romance of an Anvil (1910)

A will provides that Grace marry young Carson, so that they both inherit great riches. Should she refuse, he is cut off; but should she die without being married, he gets the estate. He sets out to treacherously bring about her demise. He bribes a blacksmith's helper to meddle with the shoe of her saddle horse, then causes the horse to run away. Not only is he unsuccessful, but the hired man goes back on him, as is usual. Seeing that the helper cannot be driven from a course of blackmail, he murders him and tries to lay the crime on the blacksmith; and he would succeed, too, had it not been for a little girl who was picking flowers near the scene of Carson's crime, and now comes forward to tell what she saw. Needless to say Carson gets his deserts, while Grace and the "brawny young smithy" are started on their world of happiness.
