“She is an heiress, you know?”
“I have heard so; in fact, I know that it is the case, from the sergeant.”
“I had her a captive, with others, but Buffalo Bill guided Lieutenant Worth, Sergeant Fallon, and others to my retreat and rescued the prisoners, destroying my band and making me fly as a fugitive for shelter with my good friend, Iron Eyes.”
“I see.”
“Now, I wish to get possession of Lucille Fallon, the sergeant’s daughter.”
“Ah!”
“And that is what I wish you to aid me in.”
“I can do it if any man can.”
“My plan is for you to notify me, by a letter left at a certain spot on the Overland trail, which I will describe to you, when I can get possession of her. She can be called to Pioneer City through an excuse of some kind to meet a lawyer there who will not come farther on, and I will hold up the coach and capture her.”
“But your men are all dead or prisoners?”
