A Higher Power (1912)
The story deals with the coming of Ruth Claire to the village of Quarryville. At the station she is met and befriended by the young foreman of the quarry. Six months later we find these two engaged. The sister of the young quarryman calls on a visit and near the office is insulted by a drunken Mexican. The brother interferes in manly fashion and an exciting scrap ensues. The young foreman triumphs and the Mexican retires, vowing vengeance. Later on the wretch attempts to gain entrance to the home of the foreman's fiancée. She battles bravely with him, and at one point hits him with a kettle of boiling water. The sister dashes off to the quarry and informs her brother and others of the impending danger. The Mexican has at last gained an entrance and forced his way to her room, with the scornful words, "No power on earth can save you now." Outside a storm was raging. The lightning flashed, and that flash struck death to the villain. When the foreman arrived on the scene, it was to discover his sweet bride unharmed.
