16 got any tongue, but he’ll pop you instanter. fope you'll run inter him. Good-day!’ Black Dirk went out. He was delighted to get off thus easily, but threw back a glance of malignant hatced as he left the room. Listening, they heard the front door close behind him. ‘* He is gone,” said Wiilis Steele. The sharp report of a revolver, close at hand, followed by a cry of pain, came to their ears. With one accord, they hurried to the door. A man was lying on the walk not twenty paces away—a man whose upturned face revealed that he was already breathing his last. There was a bullet-hole in his breast. ‘‘ Suicide!” exclaimed Steele, as he recog- nized Black Dirk, ‘*No,” came from Bob’s lips, ‘‘ Silent Dave has found his man!” _ Silent Dave was never arrested for the killing of Black Dirk, the man of many names and many crimes, for the Man from "Wayback disappeared as completely as if he had vanished into the earth, What be- ‘came of him was never known, judge Farrel was set at liberty by an old woman who sometimes came to the basement of the ramshackle house where Bob had been held a prisoner; but the rogue soon did a little job at housebreaking that got him into trouble, and he was given a long sentence, Poor ‘‘Mrs. Walden White” vanished, taking her child with her, Willis Steele straightened up and es- chewed horse-racing and gambling of every sort. The truth concerning bis little flurry on the broad road that leads to ruin was never made public, and he finally married Marie Noland, the banker’s daughter, the girl he devotedly loved, Bob, Frank and Jessie returned to Phila- delphia. All the girl’s wild dreams were ended, and she felt that her life was ruined, The truth was kept from her poor mother, to whom she became a most untiring attend- ant. The glitter of the footlights had no further allurements for her, as she now un- derstood the price many a girl pays in order to have her ambition rewarded, Frank remained devoted to her, for all of his knowledge concerning her life in the great city; but she seemed to feel herself under a ban, and he had a long, hard fight to win her. But, win her he finally did, and she makes him a true and faithful wife, delight- ing most in assuring his happiness. Spotter Bob is ‘fon the turf,” as he ex- presses it. He has spoiled the crooked game of more than one rascal, and, as he seems to enjoy the sport of running down villains and villainy he has good reason to be proud of his title of Rogue.
