He is intercepted by sounds, and upon investigation, finds a small band of Yaquis engaged in an attack upon another lone prospector. He rushes to the man's aid and the two succeed in repulsing the Indians and in gaining John's cabin. Here John finds that the man has been seriously wounded, and gives such crude medical aid as is at his command. He then returns to the scene of the fight to retrieve the stranger's pack. He picks it up and notices a letter which has fallen from it. He reads it and discovers that the prospector is none other than his own foster brother whom he has been unable to recognize on account of the change in features brought about by time. In a dissolving scene it is registered that his brother has, at a time ten years previous, committed the crime of killing John's father and then by a clever ruse fastening the crime upon the innocent John. For this John is sent to prison for life, but manages to escape and make his way to his old home, which he finds in the hands of strangers. He seeks for his mother and finds her grave. Here the illusion ends and he realizes that at last he has the real criminal in his power and is at liberty to wreak fitting vengeance upon him. He returns to his cabin, examines his revolver and enters, only to find that the foster-brother has died in his absence, bearing out the old quotation, "Vengeance Is Mine."
