The other, whose right name was 'i''ali

on beyond his prison bars. The news was
not comforting. His wife, awaiting herself

to Us a reason for giving him over, and soon
she and Yupgbud went off together and
emigrated to America. Once on this side
OF the water they were married, and taking
the name OF Muller, settled down in the
neighborhood OF Jamaica, l.. !. Meantime
Perne, in his German prison, spent eight
years OF penal Servitude, and at the end OF
that period was pardoned for good con-
duct. When he turned to his old dwelling
place he found himself abandoned by every
one, and learned that his little boy had gone
off with his fugitive wife and the man at
whose hands he had suffered so much.
That inspired him with the determination
to avenge himself, and when he could
gather sufficient money he came to this
country. For two years he has been in the
neighborbood OF New York working IN
but all the time in quest OF
Yungbud and his runaway wife. He heard
about them IN Jamaica once, but under his
atlas OF Muller the Marburgian concealed
his identity, and came TO New York 10 live
at No. 1i4S Second avenue.
FACE TO FACE.
On Saturday night Perne came along that
street driving a mnera-water wagon, but
hastily drew up at sight OF a child he saw
playing on the walk. In spite OF the ten
years that had passed since he looked upon

the father was aroused in him, and he recog-
niZed his own child. The little one was

nue., and Perne at once followed it. Lean.
ing against the counter there he came face
to face with the Yungbud OF years ago
and the Muller OF to-day. Both men re-
cognized each other at once, and Pernc
sprang at the others throat, but was forced
back by some bystanders. Picking up a
hammer, he began his assault anew, and
called on The other man to defend himself.
Muller did not choose 10 meet him, how
ever, and he was stealthily Withdrawing,
when Perne called out 10 him, "You can
go il YOU choose; but what OF that? |

and | will kill you anyway. l have sworn

Muller had 90. away with a whole skin,
however, and in a twnkiing he had the po-
lice down upon the threatener. The latter
was locked up for the night, and was coEl-
mitted for six months in default OF $500 bail
to keep the peace; but he did not seem to
be turned from his purpose By it, and the
romance OF the case may not be concluded
