Is this a coincidence, or is she alive, and is this young girl the child of Andrew Seldon the real?" So mused Andrew Seldon the impersonator, as he crouched among the rocks, his eyes riveted upon the girl not fifty feet from him, and who so boldly faced the outlaw officer who had dared breathe to her a word of love.
