Sure as the sun rises in the east, Shadow and the Boneface Bandits rode back into town. Instead of panic and flurry, they found Barksville waiting quietly, calm, and ready. Sheriff Tails handed over the sacks of gold, just as Shadow demanded. It was all so easy! Too easy! The outlaws whooped and hollered as they galloped off towards the canyon.
The dogs of Barksville watched them ride away. It was only when the sound of hoofbeats had finally faded did anyone move. The dogs began looking at each other, and then as one exploded into laughter!
The Bandits rode off thinking they won the day, but the Barksville "gold" that they had just stolen was nothing but gold-painted rocks! The Sheriff's clever plan had paid off! The Bandits were completely fooled.
As the light faded, the Barksville dogs gathered on the porch of the Salty Saloon, tails wagging and tongues lolling with satisfaction. Laughter rang out as they celebrated their clever victory.
The gold stolen by the Bandits might be fake, but the teamwork and friendship forged during this, Barksville's toughest time, is the real treasure!
