A True Patriot (1909)
The English are hard pressed by the Americans. The English General wants to send a message to his regiment and promises a country lad fifty pounds if he will deliver the message safely. The country fool overhears the promise. The country lad asks for time to consider the proposition and in the dark of the night rides to the American General telling him of the English offer. He is advised to accept the money and deliver the message to the American General instead of the English. This our patriot does hut not before he has been sworn not to divulge the secret. When the father returns and is informed by the country fool that his son betrayed his country for money's sake, the enraged man takes an axe and strikes down his son. At this moment the American General with his staff enters to thank the lad for the great service rendered to his country. The father is prostrated when he learns how he wronged his son and with the wounded lad in his arms he begs forgiveness.
