Dick and Brady, however, set out at once for Charlestown. **T tell you what, ca you’re a daisy at disguisin’ yourself. Wish 1 bad your knack, But then, [ suppose [ll learn, after you an’ I have been doubled up for awhile,” and the tough rubbed bis stubbly chin, blandly. . ‘*Oh! yes, I presume so. If you are at all apt, it won’t take you long to learn.” On the way to Charlestown, Brady became confidential, and told Dick about the valuable diamonds which Mrs. Glenroy possessed, and how he intended to rob her of them before the ship reached Portland. ‘Oh! I tell ye, there’s a fortune in ’em, Sharkey!” the villain declared, — enthu- siastic, ‘‘an’ it’s there for you and I to get. You're cleverer than I at the bizness, and if you say the word, well go in snucks and divy up even. What d’ye say?” ‘*It’s a bargain. But, look here, it will be rather a risky job on board a boat, where we can’t get away with our plunder,” ‘‘Pshaw! we can easy fix that. We won’t tackle tha job until we'reentering Portland Har- bor. Then, while I engage Mag in conversation, on deck, you can go below and hit her trank for all the valuables it contains,” Of course Dick acquiesced in this proposition so as not to arouse Brady’s suspicions, In due time they reached the little steam- launch and boarded her, and Brady introduced Dick to Gil Glenroy and old Mose Gunner, the skipper, as Michael McFadden, oou afterward, Brady and Glenroy left the craft to secure more men for the crew, for be- sides Dick, only one man had been shipped, and he did not seem overstocked with nautical knowledge. He was a large, raw-boned individual, without a pound of spare flesh on his figure. Ais hair and huge beard were like unto the color of an over-burned brick. His nose and all the upper portion of his face that was visible was also ve red, and Mervin Mackert, as he called himself, had the appearance of aman who had been a very hard drinker all his life. It filed Deadwood Dick with delight when he saw Glenroy and Brady depart, | ‘* Now’s my opportunity,” he muttered, ‘‘ the best one I will have, very likely.” So, almost at once, he engaged in conversa- tion with the Emily’s captain, a genial old skip- per who had been the seas over many a time. The nature of the conversation may be sur- mised by our simply stating that when Dick showed his detective badge as authority for what ue said, the bluff old sailor became all at- tention. Dick talked long and to the point, and when he had finished, Gunner put out his hand warmly. ‘*Tam glad you have told me about this,” he said, ‘* for I will now be able to clear my skirts of any responsibility in the matter. The order yous Glenroy gave me purporting to come from his father, is a masterpiece of forgery, and Lam well enough acquainted with George Glen- roy to know that he'll make the young scamp smart for this escapade.” ** Will you start to-night?” ‘Yes. Thesky is clear, and the indications of fair weather are good. Besides, it is full moon, and the weather baving moderated, we are likely to have a fine trip.” By six o’clock that night, a crew had been mustered, and everything was in readiness for the journey. Rats was also ‘‘ on deck.” Gil Glenroy then went to fetch his step-mother on board. At eight o’clock they arrived, bag and bag- age, and at nine o’clock, the Emily pulled out iw 24 the the wharf, and steamed oceanward. It was not until after the launch was well out in the harbor, that, carrying a camp-stool, Mrs, Glenroy came out on the little deck, and seated herself in the stern near the companion way, She was well wists up, even though the night could not be called really cold, pretty brisk head wind was blowing down from the north, and so Captain Gunner decided not to put out too far, until the wind shifted; ac- agg there was nothing left for the sailors lounge about and take their ease. The night was a beautiful one, with a clear, starlit sky, and soaring full moon, whose mellow rays transformed the dancing waves into a panorama of loveliness; but this peaceful beauty was destined to be rudely disturbed. A series of screams at the stern of the launch, caused all hands to rush thither. There they | fist on high. | | | | | i sm eee | ! | 47 Paciric Petr. By Jos E.

Ropes were thrown out, but all te no avail, Calvin Cool and his faithless wife had! found their grave in the deep! Dear reader, there is but little more to add. When the Emily arrived in Portland, Brady and young Glenroy were seized to await a requisition from Boston, whither they were later sent for trial, Deadwood Dick recovered the Cool diamovw ds, This, to- turned over to Gertie and Cora, who, of course, substantially rewarded their ‘‘ best friend in all the world” as they called him; and his boy pard was not overlooked. Shortly afterward, the two sleuths set out for Philadel] phia en-route for the West. THE END. Beadle’s Dime Library. | 1 A Harp Crowp. By Philip S. Warne........... 10¢ 2 THe DareE-Deviu, By Col. P.
