And there she was to be kept in imprisonment until death might come to her relief, cr until Providence moved to release ber, And _ her work done, Eima Neilson set out for the Kee- ler home, in Alma’s clothes, to pass herself off for Alma. ‘But, it happened that on the same night Flora Floyd bad her scheme ready for operation, and when E ima, as Alma, came home, she was met by a young man at the steps w!o hada message for ber from Horace anit This young man was Flora Floyd, in disguise, and the message wasa decoy. In order to strengthen the deception she bad undertaken, Edma obeyed the summons at once, and entered the cab with the messenger, as the young man purported to be. Oncein the cab she was purtly overcome by a pungent drug, and rendered helpless so far as her will was concerned. She was taken to 4 peace 1 will not name, and there was robbed of er identity, as nearly as possible, after which she was placed in the cab again, the young man still accompanying her—and he her insane rival, Flora Floyd. And there, in the cab, helpless, she was.insanely stabbed again and again with this weapon,” The sensation produced when Billy displayed the weapon is perhaps better imagined than de- ac ri ° The da rger, by the way, was worthy a place in the Blac ’ 7 Pinky useuni, CHAPTER XX. CONCLUSION, BROADWAY BILiy’s address was a long one, and he brought out every point fully, leaving nothing untouched, His statements were backed up by the con- fessions made, including that of the miserable scoundrel, Keeler, and that of the woman Neilson, ved by Jeffrey Shears. The reader has had tall in the preceding pages. All the witnesses and prisoners in the case were there; the woman of the unmentionable house, the old hag who had held Alma prison- er, the two cabbies, Peters and Quart; Horace Hurst, Flora Floyd, and others, And last, but not least, Clark Summerfield and his bride, Alma herself, There was amazement when these made them- selves known and Alma acknowledged her mar- ag to the man she truly loved. hen all was over, the prisoners were led away to the fate awaiting them. Broadway Billy was the hero of the hour. He was highly complimented by the inspector, and all Scotland Yard held him in envy. Edwin Keeler died that same night in jail, of a heart trouble, it was said, and that was un- doubtedly the fact of the matter. Flora Floyd was never brought to trial, for in a day or two she went raving mad and had to be confined jin a mad-house. She did not live a great while, and never regained her reason. Horace Hurst found it to his advantage to t out of the country as soon as freed, ani fhe others were dealt with according to their deserts. This included Jeffrey Sbears and the woman Neilson, but they were shown great clem- ency; Providence had already punished them, it was said, As for Broadway Billy, he did not see the matter to its final ending, for a letter, followed immediately by a cablegram, from New York caused bim to pack bis traveling bag an ane without loss of time to Paris, Scot- and Yard feted him before he was allowed to depart, however. .THE END, Next Half-Dime Library, No. 869.

Mr. Morris ig one of the best of writers of city-life stories, in which the boy element isa feature. this is in his happiest vein:—a boy who wouldn’t be used by a brace of scamps being the * hero,”’ and who, in eompany with a chum of like independence and integrity, becomes a veritable thorn in the side of ~~ merchant rogues whose ‘ business "’ schemes he thwarts.
