He enters into the game, with the result that he makes a considerable winning. Leaving them, he continues on his journey and meeting a gypsy woman and her daughter, decides to have his fortune told. Drawing out his bag of money to pay the girl, he excites the older woman's cupidity and she invites him to remain with them, which he agrees to do. Calling her daughter aside the mother suggests that she make advances to the young man to gain his confidences and when he sleeps they will secure his money and decamp; but because he was a light sleeper they fail in their attempt, and when morning comes he resumes his journey. Further up the road he comes upon an emigrant wagon of home seekers and is invited to ride with them. Attracted by the beauty of the daughter of the old colonist, Harbison accepts their kind invitation. When evening comes they stop to camp. In the morning the gypsies have overtaken them and the daughter seeing Harbison among the home seekers and attentive to the young girl, her jealousy is aroused and the mother and daughter plan to cause them trouble. Knowing the hiding-place of a number of outlaws in this vicinity, the gypsies plan to seek them and obtain their assistance in the carrying out of their revenge. The outlaws have planned a daring hold-up of the stage and while the gypsies are hurrying to locate them the robbery is committed. The stage goes on its way and along the road meets the home seekers' wagon. They tell of the incident, and the gypsies overhear the conversation. They have lingered nearby, but now hurry to find the outlaws. They find them and tell them if they will take the trouble to rob the wagon the colonists will find many treasures contained therein. The outlaws advance on the travelers' wagon and fire upon the persons riding in it, one of the first shots wounding the old father. The young daughter and the prospector are left to fight the outlaws, but they are worsted in the fight. The two escape with one of the horses of the outlaws and in the running fight win against the outlaw who gave pursuit. The stage returns with a lot of miners who give battle to the remaining outlaws and succeed in overcoming them. The young prospector and his newfound friend reach the town of Success almost exhausted, but nearer to each other because of their experience as travelers of the road.
