Faith Lost and Won (1910)

Don Devereaux, returning suddenly to the home of his fiancée for a pair of forgotten gloves, is shocked to find her in the arms of another man. His faith in women destroyed, he becomes a woman hater and his dislike of the sex causes him to seek the west where on a ranch of his friend Jenkins, he feels certain that the hated sex will not be seen. He is delighted to find that even the cook is a man on the Jenkins ranch and he is enjoying himself mightily until he encounters Emily Grey, who owns the ranch adjoining the Jenkins place. Several times incidents force Emily upon his attention and at last when he loses his footing and slips over a precipice it is Emily who discovers the body of the unconscious man on a ledge far below and when she had summoned help, it is Emily who, because of her lighter weight, makes the descent and fastens the rope about the still form. Shock and exposure have brought on a fever and again it is Emily who nurses the sick man through the weary watches of the night and brings him back to health and strength. And finally it is Emily who brings back to him his faith in love for he finds that he is again assured that true love is the most precious gift if only love be true. It's a pretty western story with beautiful scenic settings done in splendid photography.
