A Redman's Devotion (1910)

Jim Waters, accompanied by a Navajo Indian from his ranch, go to the depot to meet Dell Ellison, an Eastern girl. As she alights from the train, Jim helps her into his wagon, her baggage is seen to and they start off. Dell is greeted most heartily by Mrs. Waters and is introduced to all the cowboys. Rolla, more audacious than the others, advances toward Dell, who shrinks from him. The boys laugh at him because of the repulse, which, naturally, causes Rolla to be angry at all. When Dell starts out on horseback to explore the town, the Navajo Indian goes as her guardian. They ride for some distance, the Indian in the rear, when Rolla comes along, recognizes the rider and starts after Dell. Rolla rides hard and finally pulls up beside Dell, grabbing her bridle. When he refuses to listen to her, Dell lashes him with her whip, and the Indian comes to her assistance. Rolla and the Navajo engage in a duel, while Dell rides away. The Indian is wounded and Rolla follows after Dell. She, meantime, has reached Jim's house, told of the happening, and Jim, with his cowboys, rides away with her. They come upon the Indian and put him on a horse. The Indian, in his wounded condition, is cared for by Dell, and she gains his undying gratitude. While Dell sits painting near the Navajo, Jim returns with Rolla. The Indian shows a disposition to get hold of him, but is quieted by Dell. Under all guns pointed at him, Rolla is shown the way to go. Later, Dell has as her model the Indian, and their painting is rudely interrupted by Rolla, who fells the Indian to the ground and carries off Dell. The Navajo staggers to Jim's, gives the alarm and all start in pursuit. They rescue Dell and retake Rolla,
