John Haynes was able to learn con
corning his wife, and those few words
he had wrested from the last OF his
enemies only when he held him upon
the brink OF death. Now, his vengeance
accomplished, there remained only the
task of this discovery. And 1t seemed

last of his enemies was disposed of he
sought her out and told her that he
was resolved to find her mother and
bring her back to her.
And then he found that fate had
