The Lily of the Ranch (1910)
It had been an eventful day for Telka. First Billie Burton had proposed, then Ray Taggart and finally a handsome stranger, calling himself George Lawton, had appeared in a beautiful big automobile and after much pleading her father and mother had permitted Mr. Lawton to take her for a spin. Such a glorious ride as they had! It was Telka's first experience in an auto and she plainly showed how thoroughly she enjoyed every moment of it. So much so that Billie and Ray, who had been fighting over the girl, suddenly realized what fools they were making of themselves as the couple in the car went speeding past. The next day, fearing that she might not again obtain her mother's consent, Telka met her automobile hero some distance from the house. Luckily Billie had followed her and was, therefore, able to tell the family of her whereabouts when a little later the sheriff called and showed them a telegram stating that Lawton was wanted for forgery. Billie, Ray and the sheriff quickly mounted their horses and started in pursuit and, as the forger merely wished to keep the car going fast enough to prevent the girl from jumping out while he drank and attempted to caress her, the horsemen soon had the auto in sight. The chauffeur, however, glancing back, caught sight of the pursuers and at once turned on speed. An exciting chase followed, in which the automobile would have left the horses behind without half trying had it not met with an accident, and just as the chauffeur had repaired the break and cranked up the sheriff and his companions were upon them. Quickly covering Lawton with his gun and giving his horse to the boys, the sheriff climbed into the seat beside Telka and commanded the forger to take the front seat and the chauffeur to return to the ranch. Telka had learned a lesson for, although she did not then care to accept either Billie or Ray she declared that she had had quite enough of handsome strangers to last her a lifetime.
