Plot
As 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."(3 May 1913). [https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88086023/1913-05-03/ed-1/seq-6/ The Orpheum], 'Daily East Oregonian', p. 6
Reception
'Moving 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."[https://archive.org/stream/movingpicturewor16newy#page/164/mode/2up/ "The Face at the Window" (review)], 'Moving Picture World' (April 12, 1913), p. 164
