That surprises you, does it? Well, you may meet more surprises before you are done with this world of tears and sorrows, This officer bas a warrant for you and vour innocent-looking partner, and we will now take you in!” The rogue protested loudly, and made a great fuss, but he was soon silenced, A pair of hand- cuffs belped to do trat, He and his wife were taken away, together with tne shyster lawyer, and the others con- ratulated the smiling groom and happy bride, t was their desire to return at once to Philadel- pbhia, but they had to remain as witnesses against the rascals, There was a quiet wedding supper at the hotel, at wnich Broadway Billy, the old ranger, and fat Skinny, were guests, after which our trio went home to seek some much needed rest, On the following day there was a hearing, and all the villains were held for trial. True to his word, Broadway Billy gave his mother a full week of his time, after which hs and Fatty-Skinny began to prospect for a new location—that is to say, a new business stand, The old place was transferred to Skinny’s brother on terms easy for him and satisfactory to the retiring partners, and the latter looked around for a new place in which to start. They were to continue still as partners, but it was understood that Billy was to furnish only the money, or most of it, while Skinuy gave bis time and ex- perience, Of course, Billy bad other ideas for himself, He was a detective born, and notbing else would suit him, He meant to branch out as a profes- sional as soon as he turned of age, and he had not a great while to wait. In the mean while, he would turn his hand to anything in that line that happened to come in his way, Long live Broadway Billy! THE END.
