He soon des isted, and looked help). lOHBiy ma 'companion. Hia wound and subsequent illness had weakened his once powerful muscles, and much o( hia boasted strength bad vanished. In an in stant onr hero was by Ms side. He, too, had ot late been sadly shorn of his strength, but between them the task was easily accomplished. This dons, the detective stooped over began tearing up the carpet A moment later he had removed a small section of the flooring and disclosed an opening beneath, into which he began groping with bis hand. A moment later he tittered a erf of pleasure, and held up a bundle of folded papers, hell together by a rubber band. These Cole eagerly examined. "They're the bonds fifty-nine of them!" cried he. "That's (.oodl said Hyland. "Where did yon procure them?" "That's what bothers me. I'm trying to think, but somehow I can't." A shade of disappointment crossed out hero's face. He had fondly hoped that tha finding of the bonds would quite restore the officer's shattered mind and Srovide the means for bis own vindioaon from the awful charge resting upon him like a hideous funerjl paU, and bring to jnstice tbe real murderers. "Nobody thinks I stole them, I guess?" queried theSdetective. "Certainly not." Co!e Winters had no sooner said this than he realised that he had made a serious mistake. Tbe anxioua look disappeared from the face of his companion, and, as he sank heavily to a seat upon the bed, something ot the vacant expression which had marked his appearance at the hospital took its place. The explanation was not hard to find. The suggestion of the bonds had revived a spark - of memory, which had been quickened by the thought that his honor might be involved. The finding of the bonds had removed the oause of anxiety, and at the same time the stimulant which had half roused -the clouded mind from the lethargy that.had possessed it. "Bst yon know me, don't yon, Hyland?" asked Cole, triumphantly. "I do; but won't telL You must find that out for yourself. Don't bother me!" With a groan of despair, tbe unhappy young man threw the bonds npon (ho table and began pacing nervously up and down the limited confine of the apartment.

from whose brain that which renders wmcn renuers 1 reasoning possible memory had wellnigh depnrted. Suddenly he paused in his walk and looked at the bundle of bonds, for the possession of which a dast rdly murder had bean committed. "Of what use are they now?" ha mused, bitterly. 'Their rightful owner is gone, and his daughter has been sent to join himi Of my vindication and tbe consequent exposure and downfall of Almon Seers there seems no possibility. The enemy has triumphed! He will, under the will extorted from Berenice, hold the entire visible estate of Paul St. Cyr, but these bonds snail not bs his!" He clutched thorn more firmly in hi hand, raised them above his bead, and rushed towards the flaming gas-jet as be spoke. The f aos at the transom had ceased smiling now, and a look of vexatious rage had settled upon it. As, in desperation and dispair, Cole Winters sprang forward to carry his impulsive rt solution into instant execution, Almon Sears leaped lightly to the floor. Ttag-a-ling-ling. With the bonds of such enormous value almost within the reach of the seemingly expectant flame, our hero started and looked about. Upon' the bed gat Hyland; stolid and immovable. Tinn-a-ling-a-ling. A glance in another direction revealed the came of the noise that had so startled him. Upon the wall near tbe window was a telephone, the little metilllo hammer of which was still vibrating above the sonorous bell. Throwing the nookace Renin upon the table, the .loung mnn sprang toward the .

man ear, the faint, vibratory sound of the telephone proper. "Hello I eamoln almost instant response. "Is that the Lake Street Station? 'They've mnde a mistake," thought Cole, "and coaneo:ed, with Hyland'a private instrument.'' He understood that the . polios department had a telephone system of its own, connecting the police stations, street telephone boxes) and quarters of deteotires) with the central station in the City Bail. "Is that the Lake Street Station?" repeated the Toioe through the telephone. "Yes," responded Cole, who felt that if a little prevarication was ever admissible it was upon an oeoasioh like this. He did ndt .expect to learn anything of importance, bat feared that that fact that some one had been speaking through the private telephone of the dement detective, might become known if he corrected the mistake, and a raid be ordered. 'Write down an order." "All right." "Instruct the men as fast as they report at the different boxes to look for Almon Bears, whose description ha been published in connection with the St. Cyr murder. He's wanted as One of the principals in that job. Got that?" "All rlghtl" "HelloF Hello!" "What is i" Is there a good case against Sears?" "Clear as daylight; straight as -a gunbarrell" "Any one squealed!" "Yes." "Who?"

Martin Bloom. He's given the whole thing away: and besides, Max Morris has just neen pinonea. " Has he confessed?" "No, but we've got him dead to rights. The whole three will swing!" "And the one we've been after Oolo Winters?" "He's innocent as a babe. Oh! One thing more. Take it down." "All right" "Tell the men to look for Detective Mat Hjland. He's at large and in an insane condition." "I know where he is." "Where?" "At his room in the South Division. Bend . offlaers there from tbe Cottage Grove Avenue Station." "How do you know that?" "A friend ot his law him go up there not long ago," "AU right." With a look of triumph on his face Cole Winters stepped back from the instrument through which he had just received suoh welcome intelligence. "Thank heaven!" he cried. Then he thought of Berenice, lost to ntm forever, and, covering nls race with his hands, sank down upon the bed besiue nyiauu. For some time the two men. both be clouded, the one in the mind, the other in tne heart, sat silent, rstless. Suddenly our hero was aroused from his mournful soliloquy by a rapping upon ua aoor. In an instant he had' unlocked and thrown it open. As he expected, he was confronted by a man in tne uniform ot a ponce omoer. behind whom stood another in the garb of a citizen. "Where's Hyland?" asked the bluecoated individual, "There." As Cole turned and pointed toward the detective the hindmost man sprang forward and seised him by the arm. Before the young man could exert his feeble strength in the way of resistance he heard a snap and saw and felt a pair 01 nanaonna close upon ais wrists. "Duned! Fool that I am!" cried Cole Winters, in accents ot despair. The man who had placed the gyves upon nis wrists was martin uioom, while he now recognized the seeming police officer as Almon Sears, his mortal enemy I CHAPTER XXI, ' A GBBaT BUBPBIHE. Bight on both points," sneered the burly burglar, as he pushed our hero rudely back. "You're a fool, and you've been duped." "Cole Winters Is as innocent as a babe, laughed Sears. " And Martin Bloom's given the whole snap away," added that individual, joining in the laughter. As for Cole, he said nothing. His consternation and disgust were too great to admit of his making any reply to the tannts and jeers hurled at him by the heartless twain. "1 bought you were talking with police headquarters, did you? asked Sears, When he had endeavored in vain to obtain a word from Hyland, who sat unconcerned and unobserving. "Open the door, Mart, and let the guy see how it was done." Bloom produced a key with which he unlocked the door which communicated with the adjoining apatynent. Then he returned, seized Cole rudely by the arm, and followed his comrade in crime through the open doorway, "There's the little joker. We've got a private .oireuit of onr own." Sears pointed to the opposite side of the room where a telephone was fastened against the wall. Like a flash, Cole realized how he had been deceived. His instrument had been connected with the one before him, and he had been carrying on a conversation with his enemy. "You are hardly up to the standard of a reporter for one of the leading morning papers of metropolitan Chicago," remarked the younger of the villians, with a mocking laugh. "Did you count tbe bonds?" asked Bloom, suddenly. "Count theml I didn't as muoh as take theml" "You're a chump 1 Business before pleasure, money before revenge!" But Almon Sears did not hear his fel low criminal. He had passed into the room where the detective sit. "Furies!" he shouted, a moment later, "What's wrong?" demanded Bloom, who had followed his partner, drawing his manacled prisoner after him. "What's wrong? Everything's wrong! The bonds- " "You don't mean " "That they're gone? That's what I do." "How could that be?" "He has them." In an instant Sears had dartad forward and was rummaging tho pockets of the unresisting detective. With a ourae the baffled murderer started back, "The powers of darkness are against us!" he shouted. "They werj on that "".a."1"" n m iy bnve tnrown them out of the: e," suggested Bloom, pointing to the one window which was mnn a littla Vays.. Without the loss of a second Sears was leaning out and gazing f r down an open court beneath. It was nnlighted, save that numerous lamps and gas-jets shown through tbe windows of tenements below. "Do you see them?" asked Bloom impatiently. "I see something white. I believe if s them." "I'll go for them!" "Mo! Wait here! I'll be back soon!" Sears rushed frsntioslly forwaad, unlocked tha outer door, and rested forth into the hall. "You propose to stay and be. doped as I have been?" "Do I? Not muoh! I can't trust Al with that fortune! A moment later and he had rnsbed down after h's companion, taking the precaution, however, to lock the door. "Hyland, Hylandl" cried Cole. "Bouse yourself!" The detective, thus appealed to, sprang to his feet, and, with something of his old-time intelligence, looked wonderingly around. "Unlook these haudenffs! Quick, or we're lost!" Hyland looked at the steel bracelets and began groping in his pooket. In a moment be had produced a small key, with which be was trying to unlock the manaoles. In vain his efforts, however. His hands were olumsy bis sight seemed defective, and he was unable to insert the key. Our hero uttered a groan of anguish as he realized the utter impotenoy ot his unfortunate companion, "Let me try!" At tbeae words. Cole turned, expeetinit to see the mocking face of one of hi 1 enemies. ' Instead, hoveY-r, be was ppafroftUdi

by the man who had 10 strenuously in eisted that he was a near relative Jerrj Moor. Without another' word the dwarf, who had appeared from behind the bed where he had been in hiding, snatched the diminutive key from the nerveless hand of the deteotire, and in a moment h id removed and thrown tha fetters to the floor. "How come you her?" asked Cole, nt Soon a he had reoovered somewhat from his profound astonishment. "I followed them in. I've been watching 'em all day. I'm slick, I am." "What's to be done?" "This way!" Jerry rushed into tha adjoining room, followed by Cole, who was half guiding, half drsgciUR Hyland after him. Producing a number Of false keys, the guide, thrust one of them into the look ot a door connecting with still another room. - He turned the piece of steel aronnd and paused, with his hand on the knob. "I wouldn't do this," said he, "not for anyone livin' 'cept my own flesh and blood-little Milty Moore." With this he threw open the door, and pushed his two companions forward. The two uttered a simultaneous cry ol astonishment. Then our hero sprung forward and caught in his arms the pale, fluttering form of the girl he loved above all on earth the beautiful Berenice St, Cyr,

CHAPTER XXO. CONCLUSION. Cole Winters fairly staggered nnder the weight of the fair girl, whose oruel and untimely death he had so despairingly mourned. This was not due to physioal weakness alone. Ecstatic joy had contributed its part. He hid tried to resign himself to the greatest of earthly losses a pure and loving heart and in the midst of his struggles the bitter cup of woe and despair had been unexpectedly dashed from his hand. Suddenly the raptures of the two united lovers wa broken by a low and peculiar cry. Our hero turned in alarm, and saw that it had proceeded from Mat Hyland. The touch of the magic wand of an Arabian enchanter could not have worked a greater change than was visible in the bearing, but mora particularly in ths face of the detective. A glanoe 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 event, culminating in a sight of the beautiful Sirl whose murdered father he had unertaken to avenge, had so shooked hi nervous system as to enable him to throw off tne lethargy that had so long paralyzed his brain. "Winters!" cried ho, as be sprang forward and seized our hero' baud. "You are recovered?" "Quite. Your case will be a clear one, now." At that moment footsteps were heard on the stairs without. "They are returning," whispered Moore, hoarsely. 'Wait here." With this he passed into the next room, taking core to close tha door after him. An instant later and the two villains. accompanied bv the third member of the triancle of orune. Max Morris, rushed in. "Furies!" sbouted Bears, s hi eye wept the two apartments and saw no sign 01 tne manaciea prisoner ana nsudemented detective he nod left then not many minutes before. "You here?" shouted Morris, as be saw and recognized Moore. "At jour service," 'What does thi mean?" "That yon committed a sad mistake when you procured me to murder Milton Aioore, tne son or my aeea oroiuer. "You're a fool!" I have been, you mean." With this he draw a revolver. But he did not shoot. Before he could bring it into position there wa a report, and a shot, fired by Sears or Bloom. it wa never deoided which, pierced his heart. Another moment the rooms were thronged with police officer, who secured the three plotting murderers, though not without a desperate struggle. Their presence there was easily ex plained. Jerr' Moore hid located the new headquarters of the triangle, who had chosen that place knowing that the next room had long been need by Hyland, and hoping that he would toon return there, and perhaps give them a clew to tne missing ronas, wnion tney una decided htd somehow oome into his hands, Jerry had also discovered tb.it Berenice St. Cyr was a captive there, and had notided the police, whom he bad preceded, that the raid might be as effective as possible. At first the prisoner affected inno. oenoe, but when they were confronted by Hvland. in the full nossession of his mind and memory, they weakened, and Morris endeavored to swallow the contents of a phial containing a deadly poison, xxe was uexouuia m pie suicidal attempt, and the three were hurried away to cells in the nearest polioe sta tion. They were, given an immediate trial and convicted of the murder of Paul St. Cyr. Soon afterward, they were executed in the county jail. Thua ended tbe trio of desperate murderers, who will be long remembered as the famous Triangle Of Crime. Upon the body of Jerry were found th e fifty-nine bonds, for the possession of which tbe murder had been committed. Mai Hyland is a deteotive no longer. His service in the St. Cyr case neoured his promotion to a police captaiaoy, a position which ne will fill with credit, both to himself and the great municipality that employs him. - The body found and buried as that of our heroine had been prooured by the villains, and so dressed 1 nd adorned with the jewelry of Berenice as to be identified with great certainty. In tbe meantime. Sears had kept her a prisoner with the intention, of forcing her into a marriage when he had been able to convert the estate into money, and loave the country. When tbe truth about the St. Cyr murder mystery came oat, Cole Winters beet ma tho lion of the hour. He retained the reportoriol star, and entered nt once upon the aotiva life of a journalist, in wbioh he is bound to rise. Our fair Berenice mourns her fond old father most sincerely, and will ever cherish and keep green his memory. Thi would hu a sad and gloomy place were grief never asiuaged and tears never dried. Time will, no doubt, accomplish both for her, and the day is not far distant when Cole Winters will lead her to tbe altar. Let us wish them nil the happiness doserved by two truthful, sincere, and loving hearts. She Was Too Thin. A blow has boon delivered to the tailormade girl, writes a Now York paper, and this through the action of a disappointed bridegroom, who -Jiscovorod that "things are not what thoy scorn," and who aroso from his nuptual couch and boarded a train for San Francisco. It appears that Otto KolU'h, a young German musician, married Annio Watson, of First avenuo, believing hor to bo a whole-souled and solid girl of lino dimensions. His somewhat materialistic views underwent a painful modification when tho fair but emaciated young lady disrobed and left her gonorous proportions attached to her apparel. Tho young husband at dead of night stole away qulotly, leaving only a low lines pinned to the pillow of tho sleeping hrldo, who had paid for the wedding banquet and for tltoir night's lodging at tho Grand Union Hotel. Tho explanatory noto informed herfthat sho was too thin, and that ho doted on fat womon. For throo years tho deserted wifo hua waited for him in vain, and now sho has received word from him that he is happily wedded to a heavy-weight In Germany. This should bo a warning to young womon similarly constituted, and goes to show that misrepresentation of tils Wt rarely pays Is the long run,

The Plus; Bat and the White Shirt. "No, sir," said the drummer, "there is not a place in the country now where a man who behaves himself, can't wear a plug hat. I don't mean to say that there are no lively towns, but thero is practically no frontier suoh as there used to be. "The cowboy still occasionally drop into the saloon and shoots the lights out; he likes, now and then, to shoot the insulators off the telegraph poles, and there are other eccentrio and some' what boisterous forms of amusement that still find favor with him; but it is no longer considered good form nywheitt, to evince disapprobation of the Wearing of a plug hat by shooting it off the head of tho wearer. "In some places this pleasing condition of affairs has been brought a'.-out by the active work of iiinglo man, aided, in a measure, doubtless, by the natural fairness of men whea their .'eelings are properly appealed to. For example, in one camp, after it had been discovered by the man wlu conveyed the remonstrance of the older inhabitants that tho quiet, unassuming stranger, who had persisted in wearing a white shirt, had an arm as big around as an oyster keg, muscles of steel, the heart of a lion, and the tiger's suddenness of movement, there arose a feeling that possibly the shirt question was debatable, and some men went so far as to say openly that a man ought to be permitted to wear a white shirt if he wanted to; and when the quiet man had, in quick succession, knocked out seven supporters of the negative aide, the change of sentiment was so great, that it amounted, practically, to a reversal of publie opinion, and by common consent be was permitted to wear bis shirt," Northwest Trade.
