That having been achieved, the place was thor- oughly searched, Bamford’s bags of ran- som money were found, and much other stuff of value. At Devil’s Delight the greatest surprise awaited the leaders of the Flock of chy for there were nearly all of their band, a dead sleep, effect of the drug with w hich Injun Inez had doctored the liquors in the Hang-up Hotel. Tony Bly’s treat had been with a purpose, having been a prearranged part of Deadwood Dick’s admirable scheme. The direct members of the Flock of Forty were pointed out by those who knew them, and all were made prisoners. The same was done with others who were indirectly connected with them, and as a result. Deadwood Dick and his aids had at least fifty prisoners to take back to Chihuahua and turn over to the Govern- ment, and not a few of them were Ameri- can outlaw S, aS has been plainly set forth. Great was their surprise when they awoke out of their stupor. “Well, my work. is accomplished,” re- marked Deadwood Dick, when all had been taken care of, and he and his party ‘had eaten their dinner, which they had taken care to prepare themselves. “Yes, your particular object; but I am no better off,’ sighed Sigmund. Bamford. “T owe my life to you, true, but we have still to clear up the mystery surrounding my stolen child.” “TI said my work is accomplished,” re- peated Dick. “That was a part of the work I had undertaken, Mr. Bamford.

She rejected him—discarded him, .as_ it ere ta you. He swore that he would bring sorrow upon her for it. It was he who stole your boy. Having waited so long, your wife never thought of him, and seeing with what determination you went into the search, he was afraid to let it be known that he had taken his revenge. He gave the child into the keeping of Injun 1) and through ar I have learned the } ru 9? The truth it was, as was amply proven, and Sigmund Bamford was a happy man’ at last, yet for all a sad one, since his beloved wife could not rejoice with him in the finding of their boy. A peculiar birthmark on the boy’s shoulder was the final and conclusive point in the chain of proofs presented. The Flock of Forty were dealt. With.| without mercy by the Mexican. Govern- ment; every one was gibbeted, as he ricb- ly merited. Deadwood Dick was hand- somely rewarded. More, he was commis- sioned to undertake another case inim¢- diately—a matter of State. . The Hedgeworths and their party could not thank him enough for what he had done for them, and they went. om ‘their way rejoicing.
