Jerry rushed into the adjoining room,
followed by Cole, who was half guiding
half dragging Hyland after him.
Producing a number Of false keys, the
guide thrust one of them into the lock of
door connecting with still another
room
He turned the piece of steel around
| and paused with his hand on the knob.
L wouldn't do this" said he, mot for
anyone livin' 'cept my own flesh and
little NIFTY Moore"
With this he threw open the door, and
pushed his two companions forward.
The two uttered Simultaneous cry Of
establishment.
Then our hero sprung forward and
caught in his arms the pale, futtering
form of the girl he loved above all on
earth-the beautiful Berenice st. Cyr.
CHAPTER XXI.
CONCLUSION.
Cole Winters fairly staggered under
the weight of the fair girl, whose cruel
and untimely death he had SO despair
ingly mourned.
This was not due to physical weak
ness alone. Ecstatic joy had contributed
its part. He had tried to resign himself
to the greatest of earthly losses-a pure
struggles the bitter cup Of woe and des-
pair had been unexpectedly dashed from
his hand.
Suddenly the raptures Of the two united
lovers was broken by low and ocular
cry.
Our hero turned in alarm, and saw that
it had proceeded from Mat Hyland
The touch of the magic wand of On
Arabian enchanter could not have worked
greater change than was visible in the
bearing but more particularly in the face
of the detective.
A glance was sufficient to inform our
enraptured hero that he was insane and
demented no longer. Intelligence flashed
In his eye, and indignation and decision
compressed his mouth.
The numerous recent exciting events,
eliminating in sight of the beautiful
girl whose murdered father he had I'M
dertaken to avenge, had SO shocked his
nervous system Us to enable him to throw
OF the lethargy that had so long paralyzed
his brain.
"Winters!' cried he, as he sprang for
ward and seized our hero hand.
You are recovered?"
Quite. Your case will be clear o-e,
now"
At that moment footsteps were heard
Oh the stairs WltuOut-
They are returning" whispered Moore,
hoarselr. Wait here"
With this he passed into the next
room, taking care to close tie door after
him.
An instant later and the two vilIains.
accompanied bv the third member of the
triangle of crime, Max Morris, rushed in.
@Furies." shouted Sears, as his eye
swept the two apartments and saw no
sign of the manacled prisoner and half
demented detective he had left there not
many minutes before.
You here?" shouted Morris, al be saw
and recognized Moore.
AT Your service.
what does tn S mean"
That you commit Ell sad mistake
when you procured me to murder Milton
Moore, the son Of IN dead brother"
You're a tool!"
L have been, YOU mean
With this he drew revolver.
But he did not shoot. Before he could
bring it into position there was a report,
and shot, fired by Sears or Bloom,
it was never decided which, pierced his
heart.
Another moment the rooms were
thronged with ol!ce officers. who Sc
cured the three plotting murderers.
though rot without desperate struggle.
Their presence there was easily ex-
planned. Jerrf Moore h ID located the
new headquarters of the triangle, who
had chosen that place knowing that the
next room had long been used by Hy and,
and ho. ing that he would soon return
there, AMI perhaps give them a clew to
the missing onds, which they lad de-
cided b d somehow come into his hands.
Jerry had also discovered tn Berenice
st. Cyr was a captive there, and had no.
tilted the police, whom he had preceded,
that the raid might be as effective as
possible.
At first the pr soners affected inno-
cence, but when they were confronted by
Hyland in the full possession OF his
mind and memory, they weakened, and
Morris endolvored to swallow the con-
tents OF a phial containing q deadly
poison. He WIS defeated in his sui
cidal at Tempt, and the three were hurried
away to cells In the elrest Police sta
ton.
They were given an immediate trial
and convicted of the murder of Paul st.
Cyr. Soon ffterward, they were exc
cuted in the county Jail. Thus ended
the trio of desperate murderers, who will
be long remembered as the famous Tri-
angle of Crime.
pom the body Of Jerry were found tn g
ffty-nine bonds, for the possession of
which the murder had been committed.
Mat Hyland is a detective no longer.
His services in the ST. Cyr case secured
his promotion to a police captaincy, a
position which he will fill with ere lit.
both to himself aud the great munich
pality that employs him.
The tody found and buri d as that of
our heroine had been procured by the vii
lains and so dressed nd adorned with
the jewe,ry of Berenice as to be identified
with great certainty.
In the meantime, Sears had kept her
prisoner with the intention of forcing her
into marriage when he had been able to
convert the estate into money, and leave
the country.
When the truth about the st. Cyr MUIR
der mystery came out, Cole Winters be-
c me the lion of the hour. He retained
the reportorial star. and entered Mt once
upon the active life of journalist, in
which he is bound to rise.
Our fair Berenice mourns her fond old
father most sincerely, and will ever cher
ish and keep green his mem ry. This
would lie sad and gloomy place were
grief never assuaeed and tears never dried.
I ime will. no doubt, accomplish both for
her, and the day is not far distant when
Cole Winters will lead her 10 the altar.
Let us wish them all the happiness de-
served by two truthful, sincere, and low
ing hearts.
