I have been a bad man to them, and now that the end has come, | realize, as I never did before, how reat have been my crimes against them. ake all I have here and give it to them.” * Neither of them, I feel sure would touch a single dollar of the wealth you have ob- tained by this unlawful life you have led,” declared Dick. “I know!” answered the dying man. “That is just. But—ah!—good-by! I am going. Be goodtothem! Be good—” spasm—a frame tremor—a few low gasps—and the wretched man’s soul was re- leased from its earthly tenement. ‘‘Is he dead?” asked Hiram May. ‘‘He will never more speak again!’ re- sponded Dick, solemnly. Minnie and her mother remained at the friendly ranchman’s house for several weeks —long after Dick and Bil!y bad taken leave of them, after being satisfied that the clean- out of the smuggler gang was thorough, and all the roughs had been turned over to the U. 8. Revenue men, to meet their fate in the U. 8. Court at Austin. The two women were yery happy in each other’s presence, though saddened by the aw- ful tragedy which had ended the career of the husband and father. But, a new interest and care had come A to cor mand their attention and interest—the | care of the wounded General Hastings and of Caruthers, Gifford, the step-son and half- | brother, who had been removed to the pleas- ant quarters provided by tbe hospitable Texan, in his own house, and, under the ministrations of the devoted and gentle Min- nie and her mother both came back to health and streng:h at length. What wonder the general found in Mrs. Gifford—still a beautiful and attractive wo- man—more than a nurse and friend? and that she discovered in him a man worthy of her trust and love? Caruthers and Minnie, as brother and sis- ter, were inseparable companions; and when, _ at length, the invalids were ready to depart from the Neuces, the return was not to Mrs. Gifford’s home in Cuba, but to Washington, where the general made his report and then resigned from the field force—quite content to accept the Government’s handsome recog- nition of his services and worth in the ap- abla to the conduct of Secret Service ureau for the Department of the South- west. In a lovely house on a fine “ circle” in the Seep City now dwell the Giffords—mother an ~— and son; the mother, however, is Mrs. General Hastings, and Minnie Gif- ford is a pronounced belle of the “ best cir- cles.” _In that house no one is more a favorite than Richard Bristol—the restless, tireless, ubiquitous Deadwood Dick, whom the gen- eral regards as the most accomplished detec- tive and the bravest man ever employed in .the Government service.
