She Wanted a Man with Brains (1911)

A new school teacher was to make her home at Rancher Smith's house, so all the cowboys gathered about the veranda to greet her. She arrived in due time, but gave them a cold look of appreciation and passed into the house. Then the boys turned away with the exception of Thornby, who fell in love with her at first sight. He did several favors for her and even saved her from her unmanageable horse. This so enthralled him that he proposed to her. But he was frigidly "turned down," as she wanted a man with brains. Thornby then left the ranch and soon found a position in a lawyer's office. He studied so hard that he was soon made a member of the firm and incidentally marrying his associate's daughter. Thornby was successful in winning the suit for the Smiths, and when he called one day to discuss matters, he met the frigid school teacher, who, after being apprehended of Thornby's uprise, made all endeavors to win him as her husband. But he soon introduced his wife to her, whereupon the Smiths drank to the "Man with Brains."
