The Vanishing Race (1912)

The last of the Hoppe Tribe, the father, son, mother and daughter, trailed their weary way through the sunny fields. They camped close to a small settlement and Dick Wren, handsome, sneering and indifferent, gazed with eager eye upon the pretty form of the Indian girl. Madge Blaine smiled cynically as she noted the trend of Dick's emotions and waited. Despite her relatives, the Indian maid eloped with Dick. In a month he again turned toward Madge, who received him with open arms, leaving his Indian love to wander back to her people. Her brother heard of it, and Indian fashion, quietly took his gun and went in search of Dick. He found him through the heart, but before he had moved ten paces his own lifeless body hurtled to the ground. Then the last of the Hoppe tribe, seeing his nearest of kin slain, drew his knife and threw himself into the fight. He also joined his son in the land where the White Spoiler does not go, leaving two lonesome women to pack their clothes and wander further through the sunny fields.
