She learned tc love him, called him ber own chiid, but died without telling the secret. The child grew up as Rex Peters. ‘*Tt was a strange chance which brought his mother to the same bouse—she bad changed her name, and called herself Mrs, Austin, because anonymous, lying letters from Short made her believe she was thought her father’s murderess —but she died without suspecting that Rex was her son, ‘* It, was the Tofflings who first suspected that Rex and Ella were related. Among the few things left to Ella by her mother was a pboto- graph of her grandfather. When Rex’s sup- osed mother died she had left a picture exactly like it—stolen by chance, when Rex was stolen from his mother—and this started the inquiry which has revealed all, | ** Rex Peters is, really, Ralph Trescott, brother of Ella, grandson of Mortimer Landerson, and ‘true possessor of all the wealth that man’ has so long held. He, however, never suspected that he was wronging any one. Poor, dissipated wretch that he is, let me do him justice.” He pointed to Willis Landerson as he spoke. Five Points Phil gravely shook Rex’s hand. ‘* My b’loved corntemporary,”’he said, in bis usual] whimsical manner, ‘‘ lemme congratulate ye. Itdoes me good ter know thart my larst detective case has made youa rich marn. It aloes, by ginger!” ** Phil,” replied Rex, very earnestly, “I couldn’t have been helped by a better person, and what I hope now is that we shall be friends forever.” ** Don’t see why we shouldn’t, my frien’. Mr. Drayton will be your guardeen now, arnd ez he arnd Mr. Richmore are sech old frien’s, why shouldn’t we be frien’s, too?” ‘** A capital idea,” agreed Drayton, while Rich- more nodded his approval. **So be it,” added Phil. ‘‘ This is my larst detective case—no more street Arab business fur me, School begins right away, arnd I’ll tend right to it fur Mr. Richmore’s sake, Ef I ever git ter be a lawyer, ez he sez [ shall, I kin pores cater ter my taste fur detective work, hat- ever comes ter me I shall never forgit the days when I’s one o’ the shinin’ lights o’ Paradise Park, a forlorn young chap in rags, arnd only Five Points Phil!” So little time had ela since the scenes of this story that only a little more can be said of the actors therein, but Short, St. Percy and Haskins are in State’s Prison, and Solace, who could not be netted by the law, has lost near] all his money by an unlucky speculation, He is still a power in the Sixth Ward, however. Willis Landerson is in an asylum for ine- briates If he can be reformed, he will be pro- vided for fairly. Rex and Ella Trescott have their property at last, and as Lawyer Drayton is a wise guardian, their future looks bright. Carpenter Pratt and the Tofflings have been provided for. Uncle Eph no longer needs tc mend umbrellas, but be still reads the weather predictions faithfully. Five Points Phil has gone to Solomon Rich- more’s own house, to remain permanently, and in his efforts to become an educated, useful man, he has little time to think of the days when he was a street boy and an amateur de- tective. | THE END, Beadle’s Half-Dime Library, BY BUOKSKIN SAM (Major Sam, 8, Hall.) 284 Old Rocky’s “ Boyees;” or, Benito, the Young Horse- Breaker. 246 Giant George; or, The Ang’l of the Range, 27% Arizona Jack 3 or, Giani George’s Pard, 297 The Tarantula of Taos; oF, Glant George's Revengs. 807 The Strange Pard; or, Little Ben’s Death Hunt.
