pupterern nar Sees? *y = +. eo New York Nat, the Gamin Detective. A _ -_ ‘‘Before your father died, however, he | made a confession, which I read last night,, and I read Paul Maxwell’s confession, also. ‘That he might atone for his crimes Maxwell boldly went to the house of the man he had killed and claimed to be your grandfather, and so adopted you.” ‘*Oh Jack! how strange all this is ‘Tt is stranger still, as you will see, Olive. You were reared as his granddaugh- ter, and to be his heiress,”’ “‘ Never! nota dollar would I touch of his money, he who killed my poor father from a cruel revenge!” almost fiercely cried Olive. ‘“‘That is just what I expected youto say. But, Olive, there is more to tell; you are in- deed my own sister.” ‘“fYour own sister?” ‘* Yes, for my father left a confession, and in it he told the story that Maxwell told; and more: he made known what became of his son.” ‘* Ah, Jack!” ‘Your father's true name was Nathan Chandler, Olive.”’ “" Xes.” . ‘* And Nathan Chandler was my father also, live.” Words can never portray the feelings of gel, the joy of the youth at the strange iscovery made. ‘‘T have the papers to prove all I say, Olive, Roger Thurston’s statement, his wife's also, the confession of our father and of Paul Maxwell, ‘‘ Yes, you remembered that you had a little brother, and now it is proven | am that brother, ‘‘ Now, are you the heiress of Miser Max or not?” ‘-No! a thousand times no! Jack; I am your sister ; that is fortune enough for me!” ‘‘T was sure that you would say this, that you would cast that old man’s fortune from you, for he was the slayer of your father and mine. ‘‘ But the future looks bright to me now; for I have found you, Olive.” ed CONCLUSION. LAWYER BRACKETTS was sharp on time, to report that he had made the transfer of the Maxwell estate to those into whose hands the chief had told him to place the property. The attorney went back to his office an humbled man, and one who felt that be had learned the truth of the adage that ‘‘ hon- esty is the best pclicy.” But the chief had another surprise in store for him, as, one day, he received by Ex- press a package of papers. One was the confession of Miser Max; another was the confession of Nathan Chandler; a third was the statement of Roger Thurston and his wife, of their con spiracy against their adopted son, John, and a fourth was the relinquishment, by Olive Chandler, of all claim as heiress of the Max- well estate, and a draft for the amount of money found in the old mansion as the miser’s hoarded-up treasure. There were a few lines asking that the confession should be received in confidence, This request was simply signed, as the secret communications to the chief had been, with the words: “THe UNKNOWN SHADOWER.” Many a letter came afterward to the chief, bearing valuable and unexpected informa- tion, so that, in time, he came to regard his Secret Police League with its Girl Queen as his most valuable aides in. ferreting out crime in the great city of New York.

The Boat-Clob Mascot: DAN DECKER’S DOUBLE DEAL. BY JO PIERCE. A story of New York City and vicinity, brimming with the excitement of adventure among the ‘* dan- gerous classes’’—they being, in this case, a well- organized band of .apparently respectable and wealthy men, whose career as The Sea-Horse Club the daring boy-h@ro of the drama resolves to end; and how he carries out his perfectly original plans forms a rarely novel and decidedly stirring romance, but so real that it reads like the rvcord of One of the Cutest Cases in the annals of the New York riyer and shore police.
