When Gratitude Is Love (1915)
Jack Howard is somewhat disappointed upon receiving a telegram from Millicent Olney, his sweetheart, to the effect that she cannot be at the station to see him off when he leaves for the Catskills to regain his health. In the mountains, he rescues Maud Clark from a perilous position on an icy slope, after she has been thrown from her horse and injured. Maud's father suggests that Jack go to one of his lumber camps and live in the open, prescribing an open air diet in lieu of medicine. Jack arrives at the camp and by his performances as a wrestler wins the admiration of all of the rough lumbermen, save Thibeau, the champion of the camp, who meets defeat in the sawdust pit at the hands of Jack. Thibeau's revengeful appetite is appeased later when he and Jack are cutting down trees together. When Jack is down, Thibeau swings his axe and cuts Jack's foot. His tight legging saves his life. Jack is taken to Maud's home and Maud, realizing his dangerous condition, jumps upon her horse and rides cross country to the doctor. Thibeau enters the Clark home at night as Jack is in bed and attacks him, but Maud arrives upon the scene just in time and after she has stunned the intruder with a heavy boot, calls for assistance and her father overcomes Thibeau. Jack continues to convalesce and upon receipt of a letter from Millicent that her engagement to Count Vignoma will be formally announced soon, he realizes that he owes Maud a debt of gratitude. She has owed him one for some time and they both pay their debts without any further discussion.
