The Conquering Hero (1910)
Why his daughter, Laura, should so stubbornly prefer Lee Howard to wealthy Roger Elkins, Nathan Bradford was totally at a loss to understand. He had forbidden Lee the house and threatened to disinherit his daughter, yet he feared they might elope at any moment. This, however, Roger Elkins volunteered to prevent by appointing himself body-guard in the young lady whenever she left the house. Indeed it was in this manner that he found their improvised post-office in the hollow of a tree, and, from their letters, discovered that the elopement they had feared, was actually planned for that night. At the appointed hour, Nathan and Roger secreted themselves in the bushes near the girl's window. Nor did they move until Lee had the ladder in place and Laura was half way down; then they crept out safely while the old gentleman brought his cane down upon what he supposed to be Lee's head. It proved, nevertheless, to be Roger's, for the other had observed the angry father in time to get out of the way and call Laura to hasten up the ladder to her room.
