There. is much to be forgiven on both sides, if you will only believe me—and the sooner it is done the sooner we can begin life anew, with at least a prospect for all the happiness that. money can buy, and love bring, If I have wronged her it was because I loved her; and in the bonanza, of which her agent knows the truth, | Was see her, child, bring her quickly !” ex- well as I have kept it hidden until now from all the world save my men, there is a fortune far : beyond the wildest dreams that we dreamed in — the olijen time,” ‘“* It’s skassly wo'th while ter send fur her,” chimed in Fairy Fred, slipping into the circle until he met Sanford, and bent upon him the full light of his twinkling eyes, now, if you could only pick her out.. When ‘every one else was working did you think that she would be idle? She was as far to the front as any one, and has done her humble share to- ward bringing this family conclave together, Little Limberleg is no more, Laura Sanford can take his place; and her husband will know that there is little more to tell of her, since she has | learned his i inner secrets and knows all the truth | already!” And atthe revelation, and the unmasking that. revealed the woman as she was, there was not one there who at first could believe the evidences | of his hs her own senses, ™ yon need not stare,” she continued, look- ing at pees withasmile. ‘* Did you think I could altogether trust any man until I knew something more about him than 1 did about den Your scheme to find Mr. Sanford was one, and I wondered that I had never nerve to undertake it before.

Sanford was not wildly revengeful, and there was time enough for bim to run alittle lenger race with the hang- man, and have theending where he would not be called upon to testify. - Without Nestor the list of the outlaws was _ long enough; and no oné was more surprised than Thompson to learn bow complete it was, Darby’s arrangements had been much more ‘ thorough than any of the outsiders had any no- - tion of until the whole matter was disposed of. _ Of the Lambs who had attempted the abduc- _ tion of the girl, there was not one left free-footed. « he fictitions Hank Darby and his followers had been allowed to retreat far enough fromthe Hive leed afres 1G % | bis ‘subjects were magnificently well paid for | their labors, and in which bis wife queened it 2 as seeking to escape as much from himself as | from justice, remained a secret for some time longer.

He isthe true wonder- man, and could make his imitator stare; but he never will, in all his life, put bis abilities to half tne real use that Darby did their imitation, in the little time that he, with the assistance of his daugkter, played the part in ‘ie around the town of Hard Pan. | THE END, Next HAF.
