A Cowboy's Reward (1910)
Colonel Austin's daughter, Grace, a charming young girl from the east, is made a great favorite by the boys attached to her father's ranch, who shower candy and flowers upon her, regardless of the fact that her father prohibits such attentions. Bob, while riding through the woods comes upon Grace, fastens her loosened saddle and assists the girl to mount her horse, when the Colonel appears. He does not credit Bob's story and he himself escorts his daughter back to the ranch. Grace, much perturbed at her father's actions, writes a note of apology to Bob and incidentally plans for a meeting at the creek. They meet, and Bob fearing his sweetheart might catch cold, ties his handkerchief about Grace's head, which she wears back to the ranch. This act of chivalry reveals to the father that she had disobeyed his instructions, and in consequence he plans to send her back east. They start the next morning. After riding a short distance their Indian driver discovers they are being pursued by a band of hostile Indians. They try to cover their trail, thus outwitting their followers, and finally enter an old shack. The Indians come upon their place of refuge, take possession of horses and wagon, and begin to fire upon them. Blue Cloud, the Colonel's servant, escapes from the shack, returns to the ranch and gives alarm. Bob loses no time in going to the aid of the Colonel and his daughter, the other cowboys following after. Bob arriving first on the scene shows great heroism in fighting the Indians single handed, and the timely arrival of his comrades saves him from being slain. The Colonel, in gratitude for their rescue, forgives his daughter, and as the cowboy's reward gives him the hand of Grace.
