AVENGED AT LAST; Or, a Worldwide Chase.
A STORY OF RETRlBUTION.

paid to Velasquez, who hold power of attorney for Mir. Delaro
 At this Mir. Wilcox ross to leave, for he felt that tho interview with the clerk would serve his purpose far better than any quantity of talk with the un- principled broker With many polite farewells and expressions of hope for future interviews, as we'll as regrets at the shortness of the present visit (en- tirely upon the part of the broker, how ever), the two mon parted.
 Punctually at the hour of nine Cram dalrs clerk put in his appearance at the Palace Hotel and was shown up to Mir Wilcox's room.
 He introduced himself by means of 8 card bearing the legend: "Percy Beau fort Lovcl."
 "Now, Mir. Percy Beaufort Lovel, said the jovial host, "I guess you know a good cigar when you try one, so help yourself out of that box on the table; and know you can drink a glass of wine, else you ain't English. So sit you down and I'll call for some of the genuine article, then we'll have a talk. But suppose, instead of calling you Mr. Percy Beaufort Lovel, we drop part of that dime novel title and call you plain Percy?"
 The Englishman made no demur to any of these suggestions; so the wine was brought in, and, under it's steadily increasing influence, he told the mill ionaire all he knew about Vclasquez.
 ''So you say he was squeezed into a corner the day before the murder" asked Wilcox.
 "Yes, and a pretty tight one, too" was tho rejoinder, but, as he left the office, heard hir1 tell Mir. Crandall that he would get the money in three days by fair means or by foul"
 'Whew" was the only reply.
 Then Percy proceeded and told what had happened since, how Valasquez bought up tho mining stock certificates, and sold them at a sleek profit, and how he had held a note for fifty thousand dol lars, given him by Delaro, which Cran- dall managed by false representations to get discounted for him on the quiet Finally, Lovel told how only week ago, Velasquez came into the office and went with Crandall to cash a check for q good part of forty thousand dollars which he said was the proceeds of the share in the sale of the Posada vine- yards. Lovel gave it as his opinion that Valasquez had started East with very little short of hundred thousand dollars cash money in his possession.
 Do you know which way he went?" asked Mir. Wilcox.
 No, l do not sir," was tho reply.
 "Now, come, Percy, we shall get along a good deal better without any of that kind of business. Don't Sir me any more," said the plain-spoken Van. kee.
 Lovel smiled and continued: "Velas- quez said he might stop at Denver awhile, but he expected to be in Chica- go inside of ten days"
 This information woke up the mill ionaire and he said: "Then time is precious. Are you willing to go with me to San Paola tomorrow, Percy?'
 Well" said Lovel, "the question is rather sudden, Mr. Wilcox. and might lose my place if go without Mir. Cran- dalls permission"
 Curse your positionP' ejaculated Wilcox. Come with mo and help to run that villain to earth and I'll see that you have position as long as live"
 "That settles it." said Percy. i've been drifting all over for the last seven years and may as we'll keep it up"
 The next day the millionaire and his ncw-found friend, the poor English clerk, started off to San Paola together and forged links of friendship that were only snapped by death, while Crandall lost good clerk who was too honest for his questionable service.
