This is evidenced by the half-breed's immediate determination to have revenge at any price. Tom continues his way to the Assay Office, where his specimens of ore indicate that he has struck a rich copper vein. The good news spreads like fire and does not miss the ears of Pedro. The latter follows Tom to the place of his claim, struggles with him and throws him over the cliff. Then Pedro tears Tom's claim to pieces and places his own upon the stake in its stead. Meanwhile Pedro's wife, who had seen the two pass her house, scents a plot, and follows on foot the tracks left by their horses, arriving just in time to discover Pedro's dastardly work. In vain she looks for the man who had once saved her life, but he was not to be found. At the foot of the cliff, injured and wounded, he tears a bit of his flannel shirt and with it flags the express train. The grateful woman, meantime, pieced Tom's claim together and rides to the Register's office, where she exposes Pedro's crime. At the same time there comes a telegram telling of finding Tom Brown, assaulted by one Pedro. The latter is thrown in jail, but Tom, when he recovers, pays the half-breed's fine on his wife's account, and by his noble action inspires reconciliation and happiness into the home of Pedro, where it had never existed before.
