They pronounce the music fine, and to sustain their reputations as critics, clean out the saloon. They take the old man to their mine, where he is welcomed by their friend, Stinger Johnson, and his wife, Marietta. As the days pass, the old man endears himself to them all. Marietta treats him as a father. The partners make a big clean-up and insist that he share with them. One day Stinger Johnson reads aloud a news item to the effect that a notorious desperado is dying in jail at San Bernardino. The old man startles them by requesting to be taken to San Bernardino. Arrived there, he asks a question of the dying man, "What have you done with my daughter and her child?" The question dates back twenty years, when the old man, then a young musician, had forbidden his daughter to marry a worthless man. She had gone the way of her heart and bitterly regretted it. Discovering her whereabouts, the father persuaded her to come with him when her husband entered, the worse for drink, and in a struggle, blinded his antagonist with pepper. Then the desperado took his wife and child away. Dying, he tells, how, after his wife's death, he placed the child in care of an old neighbor and never learned what became of her. Back to Willow Creek goes the old man, his question still unanswered. But coincidence, "the greatest mystery of human events," as Shakespeare George said, reveals his long-lost granddaughter in the person of Marietta. An old portrait of her mother and some papers which the sheriff took from the desperado, serve to establish her identity, and the wanderer's quest comes to an end at last.
