The Cost of Drink (1911)
Bill Edwards, the foreman of F. Carson Ranch, loves Martha Orme, but to him she says nay. Then comes along Bob Longford. He proposes and is accepted. But Bob drinks, and it soon comes to pass that he loses his finer feelings. He finally loses his position. He goes to the gin-mill to trade off his spurs for drink. Then when he had squandered his last cent, and his boon companions had turned their backs on him, he drew his gun and fired. The next minute a fearful struggle ensued, and he went down to death by his own weapon. His wife can be kind at times as she was in this instance to Bill Edwards. He came with the boys and broke the news to his old sweetheart. Martha had long since realized the great mistake she had made in turning Bill aside for a man who put that into his mouth, which robbed him of his soul. She turned to Bill now for consolation, and Bill was not averse, for he still loved her, and a joyous time came to them both a year after Bob had been put away.
