THE HIGHER TOLL A Dramatic Classic Released Wednesday, December 27th, 1911 JUST before her father's death, Helen made him a promise that she would care for her young sister, Dorothy, and this promise she fulfilled to the letter. Two years later Dorothy meets Edgar and becomes interested in him. Edgar is presented to Helen, and they appear to be mutually attached to one another. Shortly afterward Dorothy, with innocent modesty, confesses to Helen that she is in love with Edgar. This causes consternation to Helen, but she determines to sacrifice herself that Dorothy may be happy. The general foreman of the girls’ ranch is very much in love with Dorothy and tries to force his attentions upon her, this eventually causing his discharge. In his mean, low way he blames Edgar for his dismissal, and determines to wreak vengeance upon the newcomer, but is unsuccessful, and his bad actions react only upon himself. Edgar, while apparently at first strongly attracted to Helen, learns that he really loves the younger sister, Dorothy. A series of dramatic incidents proves their love to be mutual. Helen at her father’s grave, renews her pledge, and thus pays “The Higher Toll.” Page three
