Tho day dawned and passed, leaving the pub- lic still in ignorance of the murder of the old sailor, and as soon 48 darkness came on the de- tectives picked for the \vork began to make their way to the place appointed by Dick Doom to mee} them. ‘. One by one they came and as quickly as they did so they were met by the young detective and sent into hiding, The chief was the last to arrive, and Dick Doom hastily led bim to the mansion and the men were all assembled, ‘‘There are fourteon o: us, chief, and there will be just six of them now, ‘They will como through this secret panel in ee wall, and, as they believe, kill mein yonder cot, ‘** When all are in the room we can act.” And act they did, for all came out as Dick Doom had said it would, and once more the old miser’s house was the scene of a tragedy, for two of the crooks fell dead in their tracks, when they found themselves in a trap, and refused to Burrender, And one of those two was Clyde Colton, and when the detectives had sought to capture bim alive they had failed, for he had died by his own hand, a fitting end for such a man, The next morning the papers that came out with the story of the old sailor’s murder, also contained the notices of the wiping out of the secret band of assassins known as the Gold Ghouls, the capture of their booty and death by suicide of their chief, Like a thunderbolt it fell upon all to learn that Clyde Colton was none other than the chief of the secret assassins, What became of his wife was amystery toall, all save Dick Doom and the few who were let into her secret; but those who did know were PADES in the thought that she had left the past behind and after several years married a good and noble man, while ever at her home is most welcome Dick Doom whom she so faithfully shadowed as his Mysterious Mascot, THE END, cS SE RENN ERENT TR ee A Le LY oa Beaile's Half-Dimo Library, BY ALBERT W.
