Where the Forest Ends is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush.
The film was written by Ida May Park (De Grasse's wife), based on a story by Olga Printzlau.
Jack Norton, a handsome Ranger, admires the girl, and his affection is slowly turning into love, but just then he is called away on a patrol.
Silent Jordan, an old prospector and friend of Jack's, finds the girl's face very familiar, and then realizes that she is his old sweetheart's daughter.
Silent Jordan takes the sad couple to a little grave on a hillside and tells them the story of how he loved a girl once many years before, but abandoned her on their wedding day when he discovered she already had a baby daughter.
He returned years later to find that the girl he abandoned had died of a broken heart, and he has regretted leaving her ever since, becoming a hermit as a result.
