A Tale of the Foothills (1912)
James Golden, a New Yorker, sent out to look after his father's mine in the west, gets off the train and is told the way to the Stony Gulch stage coach. Here he meets Bess Cameron, who is returning to her home in Stony Gulch after a holiday. The two young people become good friends and she invites him to call at her home. The next day Jim goes to see Bess, and arrives in time to save her from a drunken cowboy. Bess takes Jim into the house, where he meets her folks. Days pass quickly and Bess is charmed by the New Yorker's quiet and unassuming manner, and soon finds herself deeply in love with him. Jim, however, appears to be impervious to Cupid's darts. This goes on for some time, Jim merely regarding the girl as a companion during his stay at Stony Gulch. One day he receives a letter calling him home at once. Bess is heartbroken to think she will never see him again; and after bidding him good-bye, bursts into tears. Jim turns to wave a good-bye and sees her crying, and promises he will return. Arriving in the village, he learns that the stage has left and Bess's father, who happens to be in town, tells him he will drive him to the train. Jim gets ready to depart; but the drunken cowboy, whom Jim had made an enemy of, having overheard Jim talking to old Cameron, decides to get even, and, riding out of town, hides behind bushes. When the buggy passes, he fires, wounding Jim in the arm. Mr. Cameron captures him and turns him over to the cowboys, telling them to send a doctor up to his home and he hurries Jim there. The doctor finds nothing serious outside of a bad arm. A week later when Jim is ready to depart he finds that he is as much in love with Bess as she is with him. They become engaged, and when he returns west the wedding bells will ring in the foothills.
