Mayhew decided to walk the four miles to the Hammond house, and accordingly set out over the hills. After wandering about for some time, Mayhew drifted into a camp of moonshiners. The gentle mountaineers instantly held him up at the points of their guns. Robinetta, the daughter of the chief of the gang, promised to help him out of his difficulty, and accordingly stole away from the camp and hurried across the hills to the Hammond house. While she was gone, Mayhew discovered to his astonishment that the suitcase he carried was not his own. Opening it he found it packed with bank notes of large denomination. Jared Gale, Robinetta's father, wrenched the suitcase out of his hands, and plunged into the woods. A little later, the sheriff and his posse surprised the gang of moonshiners and took their prisoners and the jubilant Mayhew back in the Hammonds' house. Shortly after Mayhew left the train, a tall, dark fellow with shifting eyes who sat in the seat behind his, discovered that Mayhew had taken the wrong suitcase. Swinging off the rapidly-moving train he walked back to Hammondsville and set out for the Hammond's followed by a quiet unobtrusive man who had been hanging about the station for some days. The tall dark man burst in suddenly on the group at the Hammonds' veranda, and demanded his suitcase. Just as he laid his hands upon it, the man who had followed him, snapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrist. "Counterfeiter," he explained shortly to the astonished group. Since the money he had stolen was really worthless. Robinetta's father was allowed to go free, and Mayhew settled down on his visit to the Hammonds firmly convinced that it is the unexpected that always happens.
