"I will set thoauthorities at work,and recover, irixrasible, your stolen prop erty." "I fear your efforts will be useless," was Mr. Bromley's reply.

I found Mr. Bromley a man of both culture and refinement and he beguiled - , the way of its tediousness by his fine conversational powers. Arriving at Villa Rosa, I found that ittrnerited the name. There *ere roses everywhere, just at the season of full blume. I was intro duced tau charming family, and en joyed their hospitality for threedays. At the end of that time I bade my reluctant host a cordial adieu, and set out en my return to the city.

However, I had other aims iti view than riding about the country for the pleasureof sight seeing. ' The groom was an intelligent young negro, possessing more than average shrewdness.

I decided that he would be a most valuable assist ant in the furtherance of a certain scheme which I contemplated haz arding., This scheme as you may have imagined, was no other than tracking down the prevailing depre dation to their primitive source.

"Iw / ea, fur a nap, when I heard a horse hurriedly ridden up to the door, and a bustle of entrance below. I crept out of bed, and softly opened the door, and stole into an adjoining apartment, which was situated directly over the bar room we had just quitted. By good luck, I chanced upon a knot-hole in a board of the flooring, through which I could command a perfect view of the apartment below. My heart bounded into my mouth when,in the person of the new-comer, I recognized Senor Manuel Gln doza.—Yes, there he was, apparently on terms of the greatest familiarity with the offscourings accumulated in Boggle tavern; he, the rich planter, and high-toned gentleman !" "Any stranger here, Boggs?" he inquired of the landlord. "Two—a man and an old darkie; but they're both abed, and asleep by this time." "Very well, I want supper; must be off directly. The landlord bustled out to attend to his order, while Gondoza returned to the company. "Well my lads, what luck? How goes the 'queer?" "All right, cap'n!" 'Slick and easy V Everything's lovely I" were the general replies. 'Good !" was the approving re sponse "How about--!" and he Jerked his thumb significantly in the d'reetion of our lodging. "Try Icon?" "No," replied the principal spokesman; "poor trash ! would'nt pay; 13oggs'll tell you all about it." "Don't suspect anything, do they, eh ?" "Nary time! 'Flats'—they' be green ! Never you fear, cap'n." "Well, friends, be on your guard." AtAhese words each man made a peculiar sign. After this I heard super announced, and saw Gondoza disappear in the direction of the dining-room. He reappeared shortly and after making some appointment, in a low tone, which I failed to catch, he went out, followed by the good wishes of the band. A moment after, and I heard the horse's feet, galloping off in the direction' they bad come. Creeping back to my room, I told Isaac of my discovery. "Nebber did likedat man nohow!" was his response. "Afters thought he was a chile of de devil !" Throwing myself on the bed, 1 gave myself up to.Ahought. My discovery this evening proba bly comprehended the entire enigma which was worsting the brains of the country. Stilt I wished to obtain substantial proofs. I knew that Senor Gondoza was personally at the head of a band of otitlaws, from his conversation. I had inferred that' ; they were also theagents employed to distribute counterfeit currency, chichi of course, he must himself manufacture. I resolved to go im ' mealately to his plantation, and in one disguise or another. spy upon him until I. had accomplished my purpose.

"Well. sir," I said, "I learned that your master was away, just when am come to see him.on most impor tant business.

"Well, I suppose I must make the best of it, and await his return," I said, moodily frowning and knawing my beard—which last performance seemed to strike the keen valet in a most favorable light.

There was no one stirring in the long corridor as I effected an entrance into the ante room of the Senor's own private suite. Locking myself in. I carefully ar ranged the window hangings that no chance ray of light might penetrate them. to reveal the presence of an in truder, and then began examination.

The forenoon wore away, and after dinner, feeling listless and drowsy, I I threw myself down 012 a settee in the lower gallery, crushed my hat over my eyes, and fell fast asleep. "Well sir, you seem to be making yourself at borne. Pray what have you to say to me?" I opened my- eyes, and the coo!, handsome, evil face of Manuel (ion doza gazed inquiringly into mine. I Instantly comprehended the situa tion. Counterfeiting amazement, I exclaimed; "Good Heavens! I have napped like Rip Van Winkle, utiles, per haps, your excellency has returned sooner than was expected." "I have returned sooner than was expected," was the cool reply. "My servant tells - me you have business with me." "Yes, your excellency," I return ed, giving the signal, "I ,have a let ter for your excellency; and—per baps it would be better if our inter view be strictly a private one." "Certainly; this way." And the senor led the way into his library. He bade me be seated ; but handing him the letter, I re mained standing, respectfully. "11—in ! This is well," be said, af ter reading the paper.

"Very well." he replied, thought fully. ran up to my apartment, got the box, and ,some unaccountable im pulsesent me to the window.

I placed my box before Senor Manuel, and at a mo ment when his attention was fully occupied with its contents, I nois lessly drew from my Locket a pair of handcuffs, and slipped them upon his wrists. Then holding the but of a revolver clgsr to his temple. I said, sternly: "Give one word of alarm, and that '\ instant you are a dead man!" His face turned as colorless as that ofa wrpse, while his eyes gleam ed like coals of living fire. "Traitor!" on whose authority do you thus insult me in my own house?" he asked, in tones quiver ing with passion. "On ti authority," I replied, "of the Go ve rnment of these United States. arrest you on charges of lead- ing a band of outlaws, and of gaining a livelihood by theft, murder and— counterfeiting. Allow me," and I quickly disarmed him. "I have been betrayed!" be ex claimed, wildly. "Base hounds, who among them has done this cow ardly thing?" "If it be any satisfaction," I an swered, "know that none of your band had aught to do with this. You have not been betrayed ; yet I know all your secrets, even to the sliding panel in your bed chamber, and the secret chamber beyond." He gasped for breath, and shiver ed like an ague. "And you are—" he asked. "P—n, the detective?" was my suave reply, as. tearing off my dis guise, I stood revealed before him. There came a knock at the door, and the voice of the valet without. I pressed the pistol firmly upon his temple, and whispered, hurriedly : • Fell him you are busy, and must 'not be disturbed. Tell him in Eng lish, and depart, one iota from your usual manner, and I send a bullet through your brain !" Cold perspiration bedewed his fore head as he obeyed my command and gave the order.. Then we heard re treating steps. The man was fear fully shaken : "yet, rallying, he strove to assume an air of mockery. "Have you any objection to inform ing me what is to , be the next act of this little drama?" "The next act!" I responded, cooly, "will be the delivery of your self, with certain damning proofs of your guilt, into the hands of justice." "And this you purpose to accom plish alone, and single handed." "No",not by means but by a squad of police, whom I am momentarily expecting." His countenance turn ed an ashy hue—he writhed and twisted in his bonds in paroxyism of rage and fear. "Water!" he gasped. Turning hastily, I poured out n glass from a pitcher at my side. For an instant I was off my guard. Springing from his seat, with a fear ful imprecation, he struck me down with both manacled hands. My pis tol fell from my hands. I lay half stunned by the blow. Snatching the pistol, he aimed full in my face and pulled the trigger—it missed fire! and the ball, just grazing the tip of my ear, buried itself in the Wall be yond. "Eternal curses on you!" he cried, wildly. "Is your vile carcass bullet proof?" Again he aimed—tile door wag sud denly opened and in an instant the room swarmed with blue coated myrmidons of the law led by my faithful Isaac. Turning the weapon against his own breast, theguilty Spaniard fell a corpse by my side. Justice took its course, and thus was broken up one of the most noted bands of desperadoes which ever in fested the region of the Crescent City. 1 \ —A Scotch lady has this year de• stroyed 0,000 worth of wine In her cellar, on principle, buta great many persons with no principle at all have destroyed more than that.
