Delaro was about TO retreat from the
spot when she heard and recognized
voice she knew we'll. She at once
turned and raising her vail looked to-
ward where the burly policeman stood
holding his two prisoners. There she
beheld sight which made her heart
leap for Joy. Without word to her
companions she ran towards the police
man and elbowing her way through the
crowd grasped tho young mans arm
and cried out:
Percy Lovell You alive? In Heav-
ems name, what is the matter2'
Percy turned his eyes towards her and
In the same moment gave the man he
held a powerful twist which brought
his face in contact with Mrs. Delaro's,
and shouted: "Do you recognize him"
Did she? All, this was tho supreme
moment OF years OF anxiety and pent-
up hatred. Throwing hcr arms back
with tragic air, she exclaimed In joy
full accents: Leon Velasquezl My
husbands murderer Thank Heaven, we
meet at lastl"
II the words had been magic they
could not have had quicker or stronger
influence on the policeman. He was in
stantly awakened TO the seriousness OF
the situation and In less time than 1t
takes 10 write II he had manacled the
accused man, and was bearing him of
towards ono OF the Offices, telling Mrs.
Delaro and Percy to follow him.
Mr. Blodger, Armida, and Stephen
Blodger, Jr., had Immediately followed
Mrs. Delaro to ascertain what the ex-
traordinary movement on her part
meant, and as Mrs Delaro followed the
policeman, Armida drew near to her
and excitedly asked: Mother, dear,
what does all this mean?"
at means, my child, that we have
run him to earth at last-oh, at last, at
lastl"
"Whom do you meanP"
"Hush child-the man who murdered
your dear, dear father many years ago,
tho man whom no trnsted, Leon VAL
asquez"
Armida had almost forgotten that her
father had been murdered, but this
was no time for explanations, and Ar
mida did not ask for ono, but she did
ask: "Who is that man walking on
the left OF the policeman, motherP"
"Percy Loyel, my dear, whom we
have so long mourned as dead"
Then, without any regard to appear
ances, the inpetuous girl rushed after
Percy, and shook his hands with q
heartiness that gave both him and her
mother great pleasure, but which would
have smothered Eugene's hopes for
ever had he witnessed the deep gonu-
inepess OF her welcome
A moment later the policeman took
his prisoner into the Office, aud Mrs
Delaro and her party followed. During
all the time the prisoner did not utter
q word. He was allowed TO cit down,
and when once he raised his blanched,
terror-stricken face, Armida immedi-
ately recognized It
Mother, that is Mr.. limerick; there
must be some mistake"
mo mistake, my child. know Leon
Velasquez's face too well 10 ever for
get It."
Meantime, cabs had been ordered, and
the prisoner, accompanied by two
policemen, entered one, while the
others we're occupied by the rest Of the
party, and they drove away from the Inn
mense crowd, which had gathered to tho
police station. The charge was entered,
and Mrs. Delaro and Percy were In
structed to appear next day and give
their evidence against the prisoner.
The entire party then returned TO the
hotel together. Mr.. Blodger, who was
considerably mystiaed and wished TO
hear the whole story, decided to ac-
company the party, and Of course he
had to take his heavy weight son along
with him. u
