Despite his pleadings for delay he was brought to Geneva upon the next train, and in a short time three of the guilty parties were safely in custody. Our work had thus far been prompt and successful. We had captured the leaders of this gang, and had recovered nearly half of the stolen money.
The woman explained matter-of-factly that she had not got it from any one. She had found it standing in the sun beside one of the rocks, and stolen it, supposing it was gin. When she found it was not she took it for some sort of liniment; and put it where I had knocked it over on myself. She had never seen nor heard of any more of it.
Ah! then thou art not as they say, one that forgets and throws away her lovers almost as soon as she has seen them first! Ah! had I only known, I never would have stolen unawares into thy privacy to-night! Say, say, that thou art not such a woman as they say!

All my life I have stolen the steeds, and my death Was decreed of the Lord of all power and all praise. So, in fine, for the good of the stranger, the poor, The orphan, I've wearied in toils and affrays.
Wade said anything, her statement was apt to settle the matter, for on those subjects which she discussed at all, she was an authority, and on those which she was not, her training in Martin's household had taught her to maintain a wise silence.

As they were issuing from the wood they heard the sound of galloping hoofs, and had barely time to hide themselves before Madison Clay, on the stolen horse of Judge Boompointer, swept past them with his kinsman. Salomy Jane turned to her lover.
It brought a smile to my face. For the first time in my experience of this pretty, little bunch of brains, she had hazarded a guess. "Gone," I admitted coolly a bit sarcastically. "I've no reason to say stolen." "But yes, you have you have, Mr. Boyne! If it is gone, it was stolen. Is it gone are you sure it is gone?"
Boone, Kenton, Henry, Sol, and Ross were returning in the night through the forest. They had stolen near enough to the Indian camp to see something of what had occurred, and now and then a word of the speech of Timmendiquas had reached them.
