I believe that the theme of the story was about how the unknown is slowly revealed. Throughout the story, three strangers come to Shepherd Fennel's home and as the story progresses the strangers' identities are revealed. However, due to the suspicious actions of the third stranger, he was mistaken as a wanted man. This was soon revealed to be a mistake and that the first stranger was the real criminal and had fooled everyone and escaped.
