The Quest (1915)
Chara, an East Indian boy, and his father, Dasa, a Rajah, mourn the loss of Sinda, Chara's mother. Chara is told that his mother has gone on a long journey and he is puzzled why she did not take him along. Kjasi, an envoy, brings word to Dasa that the province is in a grip of famine and that the people are desperate. Chara secures a pet elephant and tells the elephant: "We are going to find my mother." Dasa, discovering the disappearance of his boy, institutes a search for him. Weeks later searchers tell Dasa that they could not find any trace of Chara. John Hammond, American Consul and his wife, Rose, see Chara being flogged. Hammond offers to buy the boy. Months later Chara has learned enough English to tell the Hammonds of his home and he outlines his adventures. Khasi and Rose gives Chara a ring, saying, "When you are safe in your father's home send me back this ring so that 1 will know all is well." Months later she receives a valuable silver box containing the ring and also a note written in a child's hand, which says: "With my heart's love, Chara."
