Dawn (1914)
An aged hermit finds a baby on a mountain trail, and as there is no clue to her identity, he calls her Dawn. She grows into a beautiful woman, and loves Dave, the forest ranger. Then comes an artist from the city, who falls in love with this rustic beauty. And Dave shows so much temper that she transfers her affection. The artist's father, a chronic invalid, has suffered for years from loss of memory caused by a fall from a cliff while traveling in the mountains with his little daughter. When the artist returns to the city he takes a sketch of the cliff, and it so impresses the fugitive fancy of the old man that he recovers his mind, and the artist eventually discovers that the country girl is his own sister. The self-sacrificing hermit concludes that Dawn should be returned to her people, who are affluent, but she is loyal to him, and his last days are made happy by her refusal to desert him. One night she meets Dave at the old trusting place, and their vows are renewed. In the final scene they enter the cabin to discover that the hermit has passed into the shadows, reading his book of evening Psalms. Then and there they pledge their faithfulness through all the future that awaits them.
