While the moment was still tense there was a scream from a woman, and
Dora rushed to the spot where the crowd had gathered, crying:
“Save me! save me!” And she ran to Helen as the only woman there.
John and Dopey threw prudence to the winds by pursuing her, and John
drew his pistol, saying:
“We have a fine round-up just now, everybody together!” And he tried to
seize Dora, while her father, with his eyes of fire and his hair flying
in the wind, came rushing up.
“I heard Dora! I heard her!” Then he leveled his pistol at John,
saying: “Move a muscle, and I’ll kill you deat!”
“Kill him, Dopey! I’m all right.”
“Never mind him, pardner,” said Shoshone to Morris. Then to John: “Your
game is up, and I have won, as the Deputy Marshal. Boys,” he added,
with a dread significance. They closed around the murderer and Dopey,
who showed more fight than John had, but then he did not know quite so
well the meaning of the deep silence that had fallen upon them all.
“Dora! Dora!” called the distracted father, when there ran into his
arms what he had supposed was an Indian girl.
“Papa, papa! and Bennie, too. Oh, how glad I am! I don’t know how it
all happened, but we are together now.”
Shoshone made a motion to Goldberg to take them away, and, leading Dora
by one hand and Bennie by the other, they started to the tent.
Helen sank down to the box, incapable of movement. She knew what the
sudden silence meant and saw Dan take his lariat. She covered her face
with her hands and sat there for what she thought a year. Then she felt
her hand taken, and looked up to see Shoshone standing there and in his
grave face she read the truth. Swift justice had been meted out to the
murderers for their crimes!
Helen was free; no, not quite free, for she was now held close in
Shoshone’s arms.
