Mrs. Richard King, of Texas, is
probably the richest woman in the
United States, not excepting Mrs. Het-
ty Green Her wealth is partially i'm
herited from her father, a pioneer
Presbyterian clergyman, the first who
ever went, staff in hand, to preach the
gospel to the Indians and mixed races
that peopled the vast domain over
which his little daughter was destined
to hold sway as a landed proprietor.
Mrs King is a widow, and her landed
estates in Southern Texas amount to
100000 acres, or 1000 square miles,

dumb boy. 1 want ITO know why you
did it?''
For the space of a minute there was
silence in the counting-roOm. At the
end of that time the druggist dropped
into his chair, and said,-
"She knew me in Ohio-knew my
crime committed there. 1 was afraid
of her-knew that she would not take
my money, and so did the deed that
night. l will write you my confess
siOn'
The druggist wheeled his chair, and
opened his writing desk
81 knew it would come to this he
murmured. II had almost forgotten
her boy!"
Byrd Du Peyster saw him open the
desk, but did not watch him closely.
All at once something touched his
arm. He started and saw the drug
gist's hand clutching vial, while his
face had assumed a color almost in
describable. The detective sprang to
his feet, and sounded an alarm.
A moment later several white-faced
clerks entered the counting7room, and
and fastened to the head of the firm,
from whose nerveless hands the emp
ty vial of prussic acid had fallen.
The tragedy was finished, for Turoyl
Smiley was dead!
On his desk lay his brief but terrible
confession, which startled all who read
it in the evening papers.
Byrd Du Peyster at once became rec
ognized as a great detectives; but his
career was brief He is dead now,
and, strange to say, not one who was
personally interested in the fate of
Martha Nolan is diving today.
The detective prior to the mute's
death-bed communication, had not sus-
pected the suicide, but had recently
encountered him, and noticed the scar
over his eye.

Hurley's toiling, had avenged a moth

frightened from the room by the muir
dererS first appearance. Du Peyster
thought of this, but did not despair,
and told his tutor to prosecute her task
with vigor.
By-and-by it was discovered that the
boy possessed a remarkable memory
that he seemed to forget nothing-and
the detective, when told this, exclaim-
ed
F'That boy is going to hang the man
who killed his mother!'
At the end of a Year Henry Nolan
had made some progress in the, to
him, silent language; he had mastered
the alphabet, and was in the easy
words.
With what impatience Du Peyster
watched his progress, the reader may
imagine, as the detectives whole life
seemed conferred upon the object al
ready mentioned. Meanwhile he had not
abated his search for the murderer;
but his hunt had gone unrewarded,
and without the boys advancement he
seemed as far from success as he was
at the discovery of the crime.
It was late in the fall that the
mute's teacher told the detective that
he was learning to write. Du Peyster's
heart leaped in his bosom, and he
could not control his excitement. Nat
u1aIly he was calm man; but at GER
tain times, since the murder on Cher
ry street, he had acted like another
person, and his superiors had noticed
a change in him. From the chief and
every member of the force he had
scrupulously kept all information con-
corning the whereabouts of Henry No.
Ian. If his great undertaking should
fail, his associates should not laugh
at him; should it succeed, he would
laugh at them, for they had long since
given over the hunt for the murderer.
That he might talk with his charge,
the keen little Huguenot had learned
the mute's alphabet, and thus materi
ally helped the teacher in Henry's ed
ucation. By-and-by the boy brought
him specimens of his first attempt at
writing, and Du Peyster brought a
magnificent little engine, with cars at
tached, to the house.
One night he entered the house, and
discovered that Miss Hurley had STEP
ped out for a few moments, leaving
the boy alone. The present just spok-
en- of had stimulated the mute's ambi-
ton, and he showed the detective some
fair copies. Then, with his heart in
his throat, Du Peyster began to ques-
ton him about that one terrible night
in his history. At the second question,
in which was spelled his mothers
name, the boy started, and the detec-
tive saw that he was recalling events
connected with her. He seemed to be
Weakening from a dream, but was un-
able to put his thoughts together, and
Du Peyster said,-
81 must wait awhile. The boy
knows something. 1t will pay me to
waltz
And so another year rolled away,
and Henry Nolan was eight years old.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-04-05

Henry Nolan. "A Strange lSHC spark
led in his eyes, and he looked like a
person very near the gates of death.
And they We're not far away; for he
knew that he would never see the
dawn of another day.
At last his eyes became fastened on
the detective, who, seeing the strange
stare, rose to his feet and looked down
upon the sufferer.
This action seemed to satisfy the
mute, and the next moment he was
spelling with his fingers.
II will tell you nOw," his fingers
said; and in a hasty voice the dete,-
tive summoned Nettie to his side.
"It is coming, Nettie- coming ut
last!" he exclaimed, and the pair
watched the mute's skeleton fingers as
they said,-
"a tall man did it. [ saw him be-
fore l ran away. He had a red mark
over his right eye, like a scar. He
turned the light down before he STRUCK
mother, and knocked her from the
chair. This is all 1 know"
With the last words falling from his
fingers, the mute sank back exhaust
ed, and Du Peyster looked at the
teacher
"Poor boy! he's told enough" he
said. "What he said is sufficient to
hang a certain man in this city,
'"What do you mean, Byrd?'' cried
Nettie Hurley, grasping the detectives
arm. "Do you know anything about
the man with the scar?''
''Do 1 know anything about him,
Nettie? Indeed I dol"
"What, Byrd? Tell me!''
''Not now, girl. Let us attend to
Little Silence. See how weak he is.
Why, I do not think he is living!"
Henry Nolan did look Like a dead
child; but he suddenly reused himself,
and began ITO spell again.
"Good-by! 1 am going to hear and
talk noW!" he said.
Then the head fell back again, and
Du Peyster lowered his head, heard
the last throb of the mute's heart!
%Q%
1t was nine o'clock in the morning
of the next day, when Byrd Du Pey-
ster entered one of the large pharma-
cies of the city. Approaching a clerk,
he remarked that he wished to see
Turoyl Smiley on private business, and
was shown to the elegantly furnished
counting room.
The apartment was occupied by one
man, who was Turoyl Smiley, the head
of the well-known firm of Smiley,
Bridgeman & Company.
''To whom am I indebted for this
visit?" asked the lord of the counting
room, turning from the Herald to sur
vey his visitor from head to foot:
S'To Byrd Du Peyster, detective"
replied the caller quietly dropping IN
asked into a chair.
'Well, Mr.. Du Peyster what can I
do for your asked the pharmacist,
turning slightly pale. "Have my clerks
sold poison again."
