Winona (1912)
Bert Morris, Jr., a young man of excellent family, while sowing his wild oats, offends his father and is disinherited. Bert decides to go west. He first calls on his fiancée, Alice Norton, to ask her to wait for him till he can make his fortune. She, however, is not pleased with the prospect and refuses to wait until he acquires wealth. The girl returns the engagement ring to him and turns her back on him. Bert is broken-hearted and leaves for the west. He joins hands with two other young men in prospecting. They strike pay ore and promote a mining company. During their prospecting work, Bert meets Winona, a beautiful Indian girl, who lives on a nearby government reservation and who has attended the government school. A deep attachment springs up between these two. While his partners are away Bert is taken ill and Winona nurses him. When he becomes convalescent Bert and Winona are married. A new company is to be formed to take over the mining claims of the boys. Bert's father goes west in the interest of foreign capital, taking Alice with him, who has been married and left a widow. Learning of Bert's lucky strike she determines to win him again. Alice arrives and Winona witnesses the meeting between Bert and Alice. The Indian girl sadly concludes that they are enamored of each other, and, gathering her child in her arms, she silently steals away. It does not take Bert very long to discover Alice's deception and instead of returning with his father's party he makes his get-away and goes in search of Winona. He finds her not long after sorrowful and grief-stricken, but with his return, she is quickly made happy and the little family is joyfully reunited.
