An Indian Love Story (1908)
A white trapper is trading with an Indian chief, giving beads and other trifles for skins. The Redman enters his wigwam with his goods, and while the hunter is packing up his skins, the pretty daughter of the chief comes from the woods, laughs and talks with him. A vicious Indian, in love with the girl, watches them, scowling at the girl's evident friendship for the white man. They part, the man shouldering his furs, the girl entering her father's wigwam. The jealous Indian watches the departure of the hunter undecided whether to wreak vengeance or not ; decides to speak to the old Chief. He enters the hut, tells the Chief of his daughter's familiarity with the trader and pleads his own case. The Chief bows with dignity, places his child's hands in that of the brave, signifying his consent. The daughter shrinks from the Indian, draws her hand away, and darts into the woods. The warrior clasps his knife in anger, the Chief restrains him, points to the woods where the girl has gone. The girl is finally overtaken and to her the Indian offers his love, which she repels with scorn. The brave is beside himself with anger, seizes the girl and attempts to drag her back to camp. Her cries are heard by the trapper who has camped for the night, and he rushes to the rescue. The Indian is bested and disarmed, and shrinks away vowing vengeance. The trader takes the maiden's hands, and begs of her to cast her lot with him. Reluctantly she refuses, and starts towards camp glancing back sorrowfully. Back to camp we find the bad Indian relating his experience with his conqueror and a plan is conceived to capture the white man. They creep up stealthily, grab the trapper, tie him to a tree and amuse themselves by shooting arrows, etc., at him. Finally, wood is piled up preparatory to burning the captive. This is postponed until the morrow, and they go to sleep leaving the bad Indian on guard. The maiden, who has followed and seen the cruel tactics perpetrated steals up behind the guard, stabs him to death, releases the unfortunate paleface and together they return to the trapper's camp. Again the trapper pleads with the girl. She tries to resist, but finally rushes into his arms. He kisses her passionately, but she suddenly breaks away and declares she cannot leave her people. No argument can change her views and the hunter leaves her sobbing and holding out her arms, beseeching him to return.
