16 The man then strode toward the library door; the detective threw it open and closed it quick- ly bebind him as he followed, ‘‘ Ah, Von Belo! glad to see you,” said the real Leo Carroll, who had his back turned to- ward the door. ‘¢Great God! Leffingwell, when did you ar- rive? I am eeligbted to see you,” But the face was as white as death now, and the start and exclamation had shown his terror, Then he had recovered himself and it flashed through his mind that he had simply been found by his miner friend, and supposed that he knew nothing as to Samuel Carroll being bis father; so he intended to play his bold game through to the end. But, Leo Carroll faced him fairly and said sternly: ‘“‘ And 1 am glad to meet you, Valentine Gib- son, the escaped murderer, and welcome you to “| hospitality J” he man staggered back as though struck a heavy blow, while from his white lips came the words: ‘“* Who calls me Valentine Gibson?” “* 7 call you Valentine Gibson the murderer,” and quick as a flash, Dick Doom had grasped his ene apd clasped upon them the Golden Fet- rs! To have saved his life the hunted down wretch could not have resisted Dick Doom’s quick ac- tion, and almost overcome by the thought that his bold game had been discovered—that the gallows loomed up ouce more before him—he tottered back and dropped into a chair. ‘* My God, man, that is the chair you mur- dered Clarice Carroll in,” cried Dick m, With a yell of horror the man sprung from the chair, and then, with a shriek of agony in- expressible, dropped his length upon the floor, where he lay motionless, ‘* Is he dead?” cried Mr, Carroll, rushing into the room, ** No, sir, be is worse than dead, for 1 think he has gone mad,” was Dick Doom’s impressive rejoinder, and a silence as though in a death- room fell upon all present, CONCLUSION, The doctor, the old family physician, was sent for and came quickly. The meeting between him and Mr. Carroll was touching, for he was welcomed back, as was also William Wheatley, who followed hima. The ferret bad sent for these two that they might be near their old friend and cheer him. Then, too, Mr. Carroll found in the house Crumbs once more reinstated as butler, and Jule his wife as up-stairs girl while Nancy the cook was in the kitchen, In fact all of the old servants bad been ed \by the detective and Leo Carroll, the others having been dis- missed with a month’s pay ahead. The doctor’s examination of the prisoner caused him to say: “The man may die without returning to con- sciousness; but should he return to life he will be a madman—a maniac,” At last the prisoner, with the Golden Fetters upon his wrists, rallied and arose to his feet. There was a wild look in his — as he whispered, abject terror stamped on death- white face, ** Who said that I killed her? “She alone saw me. She recognized me! I had to do it,” ‘*Come, Gibson, come with me,” and Dick Doom led his prisoner upresistingly away, ac- companied by the chief of police, It had been decided by Mr, Carroll and his son, that they would try and keep the affair from the papers by starting at once together up- on an extended European tour, and changing ane bome upon their return to some other city. This they did; and though rumors were afloat, the public never did get hold of the exact situa- tion and facts of the startling case, As for Dick Doom he took his prisoner to New Orleans, where already he was under sentence of death, and on the way learned from his inco- herent talk bow he bad known that he could slip bis irons off over his small hands and feet, and being a tireless swimmer, had leaped into the sea, freed himself of his manacles and bad swum to @ vessel becalmed, which he hac his eye upon and had stated that he had fallen over from the steamer, The vessel bad carried him to a South Ameri- can , and after numerous wanderings, for be had his diamonds and some money with him be had met Leo and Clarice Carroll and played Dick Doom in Chicago. the bold game which the Ferret of the Golden Fetters had discovered and finally bad baffled. Instead of to the gallows the man went to the mad-house, while Dick Doom once more started out on Secret Service trails, still armed with his Golden Fetters. THE END, Beadle’s Half-Dime Library.
