A Proposal from Mary (1913)
The sixth of Who Will Marry Mary? When Captain Justin Bradford left the vicinity of the Silver Star Mine, he caused considerable displeasure to no less a person than Miss Mary Cuyler, now firmly established in possession of the mine. Mary had come west at the urgent appeal of her agent, who assured her that her property was in grave danger from persons unnamed, who claimed that they had the rightful deeds to the land. The first person Mary met after she had left the little station on her ride to the property was her old friend, Captain Bradford. He seemed greatly surprised to learn that Mary was the owner of the mine. The next morning he left town and Mary was told that the suit had been mysteriously withdrawn. Since there was nothing else to hold her in the west, Mary decided to return to New York. Despite the advice of her manager, she insisted on riding over to the train alone. As a result she lost her way, and when her horse ran away and left her shortly afterwards, found herself alone and helpless, in the midst of a deserted wilderness. After several hours of frightened wandering through the woods, she at length emerged on a great plain. To her astonished delight, Captain Bradford dropped unexpectedly out of the sky in an aeroplane. Mary explained her situation, and thankfully accepted the captain's offer to take her to the train. While Bradford was busied about the motor, Mary picked up a small diary which the captain had dropped. A picture of herself fell out of the book, and when the blushing Mary opened the book to put it back, her eyes fell full upon an entry in the diary, which revealed the true reason of Bradford's strange actions. He was the actual owner of the Silver Star Mine. Mary said nothing to Bradford about the diary. She left him at the platform with a mere word of thanks, only making him promise to come to a reception at the Reeds in New York on December 27. Bradford came to the reception, wondering. By the time he arrived Mary had made up her mind. She had found the one man to whom her money meant nothing. And so Mary, long sought by dukes and dons of proud name, knelt humbly down before the man she loved and asked him to marry her.
