Rodney Cleveland reappears after years abroad, ending a suspenseful hunt for his mother. Judge Cleveland’s harsh will prompts lingering strife, but Rodney’s return and a California relative’s intervention restore the family at the 1879 Thanksgiving in their old home. A second item notes a cave treasure discovered by three prospectors in the Sangre de Crista area, uncovering skulls and hidden bars worth a substantial sum.
