4 _ Out’ fates together, forever, y . f that I learned you were here. /SoI came here last might, but I did not bring your child.” ‘*Solam aware. But by strangest chance my daughter in male attire arrived on the same stage that you did. She had been traveling for over a year past in company with this man, whose name Is vyron Bristol. To her discredit she has been en- gaged in giving sparring exhibitions.” _ *Allof which [have been informed of since my * arrival by one who takes a great interest in her— } Dead wood Dick, Jr., as he calls himself. And now, jlenry Hollis, where is your child? Forshame! To ‘what terrible fate did you consign her? Henry Hollis buried his face in his hands. ‘* Wor God's sake do not mention that,” he groan- el. “for my regrets are bitter enough. I did not know it was my child; I—”’ ‘Even though you did not, you were a coward anda wretch to consign two innocent children, as it were, to such a fate.

Pray go on and explain.” Phyllis Penrose did so, giving nearly word_for word the substance of the interview tetween Paul Potter and liudd Bristolin the Daisy Saloon, which had been heard by Deadwood Dick, Jr., from out- side the window. In the mean time, while Phyllis was making her narration within the cabin, another scene was tak- ing place outside in the drenching storm. A man was skulking stealthily toward the Hollis abode. His eyes gleamed like dusky diamonds and his face wore an ugly and villainous expression. Evidently murder was in his heart, for in one hand he clutched a formidable revolver, which was cocked and ready for use, His face had been scratched and cut in man places, and he was soaking wet and mud-splasbed, presenting altogether a sorry appearance. The man was Budd Bristol, and his thoughts ran: “YT must leave Bummer’s Bar before daybreak. and shall have to go without making the haul Potter and I had planned. But, before I go, I will end Byron Bristol's life, at least, so that he will never bother me about the Niobrara property. I can lay for the boy, at a later date!” A light was burning in the sitt Hollis cabin, and the curtain was ‘son on the outside could look rance. _ Budd Bristol crept close to the window, and glared 40 Upon the scene, with a chuckle, ‘There he is!’ he muttered, his burning gaze esting ypon Byron Bristol, who sat facing the win- low. “He is alive, and looking better than a dead an yet, but he shall never live tointerfere with my laimson tbe Niobrararanch. I'll puta bead in him. OW, that will finish his mutton!” ® Taised his revolver, and took deliberate aim -room of the p, so that any in, without hin- ut, before he could fire, the weapon was knocked ‘om hig grasp, and he was gorked suddenly upon is back. SThen. a lithe figure leaped uRgn his breast, e Pinioned him down, while a voice hissed, venge- | “Die, murderer of my mother, and would-be mur- erer of m Fe adie like the dog you are, and en Dick Bristol's oath of vengeance will be fulfilled he letter!” flashed Fleam eapon Hasned u ng ee and Budd Bristol ‘he bitter penalty of his crimes. wood Jr. arose, and strode to the cabin door, upon vl: rapped, loudly. and down thrice, with a deep groan @ door was Mpecdily opened by Hollis, and Dick stepped inside, with a revolver in his grasp. ; Motioning Henry Hollis to the sitting-room, he oHowed, é; : ‘My son! my son!"’ cried Byron Bristol, springing to his feet. : “Sit down!” Dick ordered authoritatively, at the same time raising his weapon, Menacingly. ** You are my father, Byron Bristol, but henceforth Iam an outlays and can be no son to you! Outside the cabin lies the body of our enemy, Budd Bristol. In killing him, I not only saved your life, but avenged the murder of my dear. mother, whom you fled from, years ago. Here, sir, are the documents that will re-establish you at the Niobrara ranch, where you can spend your declining years in peace and mee ing to H Holl ‘AS fo sir!” turning to Henry Hollis, * Phyllis Dédtood has probably explained everything, wag the fact that your daughter still lives!” a plank Godt"? gasped Hollis. You need not,” Dick replied, coolly, “ for she is far from here, now, and you will never set eyes upon her again, By mutual consent we have linked and wi!ll be married within the month. ‘You may hunt us if you like, but if you do, beware of the fatal sign of the Crimson : ot I swore to be revenged upon you, and 78 thy revenge, Adieu!”’ , He turned, lofe the cabin, and disappeared in the darknegs.

Nearly heartbroken, Byron Bristol went back to the Niobrara ranch, taking Phyliis Penrose with him to act as housekeeper. Of the others of our narrative, notbing remains to add, except that Dutch Duff eventually returned to Germany, where, with his branded forehead, he is no doubt an object of great curiosity.
