Sons of the West (1910)
No parent, John Adwell testily declared to his good wife, was so pestered with his children as was he. Nina, for whom he had picked out a suitable husband, stubbornly insisted she would have no one but Dick Bertram, while Peck threw his money away as if it were water. But it would have to stop, once and for all. For her part, Nina had come to the same conclusion; her stolen meetings with Dick should stop, ere nightfall she would be his bride, and then, with her mother's aid, she would coax Dad into bestowing his blessing. As for Peck, maddened by the sarcastic smiles of the boys at Jim's gambling house, when he failed to get the loan of a couple of hundred dollars, he decided to quietly "borrow" it from his father's safe and pay it back out of his winnings. It was while in the act of "borrowing" from the safe that Dick Bertram, who had stolen in to get Nina, surprised the young man. A wild race followed, in which the young people won, for the minister was already pronouncing them man and wife, before the cowboys dashed into sight. However, things still looked pretty black, for Adwell refused absolutely to believe Dick's protestations of innocence: and. although the young man at once sent Jack Adler after Peck to explain the missing money, it was with difficulty that Nina persuaded the boys to give her husband a few moments' respite. Fortunately Jack found Peck, money and all, at the gambling house, where he no sooner learned of his friend's danger than he swung into his saddle and galloped furiously to the ranch house, arriving just as the posse's patience had become exhausted. Mrs. Adwell's pleadings, together with Peck's solemn promise to give up gambling, and the knowledge that he had so grievously wronged Dick, softened the Old Man so that he not only forgave but asked forgiveness of his children.
