The Passing of Sal (1911)
Sal is a character as imperious and wild as her western upbringing could make her. She loves Jim Brantwood with a strength that is wholly reciprocated. But Sal is also whimsical as well as imperious; two bad traits, and the upshot of one of her moods is that she turns Jim down good and proper. Jim is at once troubled, but gladdens later on. With Jim out of the way, Bill Grant, who hankered after Sal, tried to win her good graces, while Jim turned to a girl who was more worthy of him, Lucy Phillips. Sal learns from Bill that Jim is going to take Lucy to a ball, that she had long since made arrangements to attend herself, dressed in a gorgeous gown which Jim had presented to her before his "throw-down." Beside herself with jealous rage, she tears the dress from her shoulders. After this, the news that Jim is going to marry Lucy tears her very heart out. Her fury is now intense, and she borrows Bill's knife to deal death to Jim, telling Bill she has a purpose and will return to him when it is accomplished. High up were the cliffs that lay between Sal and the object of her dire vengeance. Deep, impassable gorges intervened, but she was not to be deterred. So we see going hand over hand along the sides of rocky crags, revengeful Sal. But now her goal is reached, and it is only a question of a few moments until her knife would reach Jim's body. He little knows the impending danger and is oblivious of all but his beautiful Lucy. However, a higher power intervened, for so it seemed and stayed the hand of Sal, by reaching her heart. They called it "Heart Disease," but Bill thought differently when he found she didn't come back. He bad divined her plan of revenge and her purpose in borrowing his knife. But if none else seemed to care, Bill did, and he wasn't ashamed to drop a tear o'er the passing of Sal.
