AT last when every thing had been
seen Mr. BIodger and bis party turned
To 60. As they did so disturbance sud
denly took place near where they stood
and two men could be seen struggling
on tho ground. The ono seemed many
years younger than the other and he
was evidently holding Oh 10 the older
man With an embrace which he intended
should be lasting. With true English
instinct the crowd gathered around the
two nj en- TO see the fight. but when they
NOTICED the disparity in ago they MUIR
INJURED: "Shamei shame. Still nobody
tried to part them until burly police
man pushed his way through the crowd
and cndeavored to part the com batants.
With the help of bystander he raised
the struggling men 20 their feet, but
still the younger man held on and
would not loosen his hold.

The people thought him crazy. At
frs: it seemed to be only drunken
squabblc, but the onlookers soon noticed
that each of the men were well dressed
and then they knew that something
moro serious than a momentary quarrel
must be the cause OF the disturbance.
The younger man who cried out so loud
" was flushed and hot; his cheeks and
neck were red as fast flowing blood
could mako them; but tho older man
was pailid with the sickly hue of death.
| This was only the commencement OF
the trouble. however. The crowd had Il
delectabie treat in store for them. Mrs.
Delaro was about TO retreat from the
spot when she heard and recognized a
voice she knew well. She at once
turned and raising her vail looked to-
ward where the burly policeman stood
holding his two prisoners. There she
bcheld sight which made her heart
leap for JOY. Without word to her
companions sho ran towards the police

crowd graspcd tho young mans arm
and cried out:

ems name, what is tho matter?'
Percy turned his eyes towards her and
in the same moment gave the man he
held powerful twist which brought
his face in contact with Mrs. Delaro's.
and shouted: do you recognize him?"
d. sho? An. this was the supreme
moment OF years of anxiety and pent-
up hatred. Throwing her arms back
with tragic air, she exclaimed in joy
full accents: Leon Velasqucz! My
hus bands murderer! Thank Heaven, we
meet at last,'
II the words had boen magic they
could not have had aquicker or stronger
influence on the policeman. He was in
stantly awakened to the seriousness OF
the situation and in less time than it
takes to write it ne had manacled tho

Delaro and Percy to follow him.
