The Last Chapter
End of a Late Trilling Romance of the Road
The Hickory Withe Highwayman Captured and Hanged
"...No further explanation was required. Judge Lynch had been at work; and the highwayman, whose daring exploits had been narrated with bated breath at a thousand firesides, was
a rigid corse. A swift witness had risen against him, and the executioner stalked behind until the fatal moment arrived. Who sent the desperado into the Shadows ? Nobody knows ; nobody cares, now that he has gone from them forever."
