The Ranger's Way (1913)
Carl is a ranger. He would wed the ranchman's daughter, Dorothy, only her father tells him that he must wait until he can properly provide her with a home. Carl comes across some smoldering ashes and a broken branding iron excites his suspicion. He soon afterwards receives a dispatch telling him that the rustler, Tramo, and his gang, are in Carl's district, and that $5,000 is offered for their capture. In the meantime, Dorothy has accidentally stumbled upon the rustlers, who take her to an abandoned shack and bind her to a chair, leaving men to guard her, so that she cannot give them away until they have escaped. Tramo sets out to reconnoiter. He sees Carl and fires from the shelter of the bushes, wounding the young ranger in the leg. He scribbles a note, calling for help, and ties it to the latigo of his saddle and starts his horse off. Carl is captured and taken to the shack, where he is surprised to see Dorothy bound. The rancher and some rangers see the horse, and knowing it is Carl's investigate. They find the note and set out to rescue him. Tamo sits in the shack and taunts Carl, who, getting an idea, begs the rustler to give him a cigar he has in his pocket. Tramo laughs and putting the cigar in Carl's mouth, lights it for him and goes to prepare for his departure. Carl gets it well alight, and patting it against the cords which bind him, gradually burns the strands. He springs up and grapples with Tramo, who enters to get his belongings. As they struggle the rancher and rangers see the rustlers, and after a brief struggle capture them. Carl overpowers Tramo and cuts Dorothy's bonds and the rancher is bound, perforce, to agree to the young people's union, especially as Carl is entitled to the reward.
