Plot
editAs described in a 1913 blurb: "The foreman of the sawmill misconstrues the disappearance of his ward who has taken drastic measures to protect her guardian's interests. A startling incident reveals the girl's motive."[2]
Reception
editMoving Picture World described the "first few scenes as a bit wearisome, because it cannot be seen that they are aiming at any particular story, but toward the end it does present a definite situation that holds. ... We didn't expect to see the girl take that dive into the river after the villainous thief, and it gave us a thrill, and there are one or two other good things in the picture." The review complimented the film for "some pretty backgrounds, but mostly they are out of focus."[3]
