"For which pleasure you must
thank Mr. P—n," replied Bromley,
laughing. - "I was foolish enough to
out rather late last evening, with
considerable money about my per
son, and, as a return for my careless
ness, was set upon by a couple of
prdNling thieves, and finally rescued
by dhisgentleman, tho' not until
watch and purse were in their pos
session.
Gondora's black brows met in a
heavy frown.
"The rascally pluuderers," lie
mutteted,half under his breath. "I
will go immediately to New Or
leans," he continued, in a louder tone.
"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 was
just telling P—n how you have
spared neither time nor expense in
your efforts to discover these lawless
villains." .
Gondoza threw a restless glance in
to my countenance.
"Mr. P—n," he said, musingly,
your name seems strangely familiar.
I must surely have heard it before !"
•'There is, I believe," I said care
lessly, "a r detective, of some notori
ety in the Western States, of the
same name as myself. However, I
have never had the pleasure of meet
ing him.",
"Ah, that is where I heard the
name," he responded quickly. "He
was recornmended to me for the pre
eat case, and I had a strong idea of
getting him down. Are you a relit,
tive of blar
"Not that I am aware of," I repli
ed, coolly., flickering a gnat from my
horses ear with the point of my ri
ding whip. With another penetrating
glance :acme, he again lifted his hat,
saying:
"Adieu, gentleman, I must be go
mg on my way."
And away darted the black charg
er with his graceful rider.
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. A
slight indisposition prevented his ac
companying me, but he gave me one
of his saddle hones to ride, and sent
a groom to bring back the animal
' when 'Was done using.
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 also found
that hewaa acquainted with the dif
ferent localities, In all the region
aroundand about. 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.
I My first procedure on reaching the
city, was to hold an interview with

I.Two• hours thereafter I was ready
to start out ,on my self-appointed

but paid no further attention.
Soon supper was 'announced, and
the landlord waited upon me outto
the table. Assuming an awkward
attempt at being confidential,
button-holed him- outside the bar
room (low.
"Now, landlord," I said, displa„V-
Ing a lean pocketbook, "I'll do UM

but I ain't no 'beat'

for supper and lodging, maybe, , if'
you ain't too steep, but you needn't

'Well, you are an odd one, by
Jove!" ejaculated the landlord, ap
provingly.
"Most of 'em calls for the best, and
pays for what they can't help. Just
you sit down, lay too, and fill up.
and we won't quarrel about prices in
the morning."
So Isaac went to the kitchen; .T. sat
down at the table, and being really,
hungry, 'laid tci. 2 and made a hearty
meal.
Soon after eating, I signified my
readiness to retire, and the landlord
led the way toa sleeping room above. •
where a pallet had already been
spread on.the floor forlsane.
Confident that, a ft er -, my artfully
played 'Overt) , dodge;' I need not
fear-being disturbed by any of the
reckless party below, I pulled off my
boots, and wan just about to lie - down
and take a little rest—for it was yet
early in the evening, and I should
lose nothing . by , taking the . , much
needed leixtle. .
= r-univtr-letni- 4401.4... "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. The enterprise was a dffi
cult. as well as a dangerous one ; but
difficulty only - stimulated me to
action,• and danger to caution. I fell
asleep, to dream that .I I held .Senor

"Wpuul he return this evening?"
"No; he was not expected till day

horses to be stabled until his return,
and walked familiarly up the steps,

discovered the gentletnan's own val

said, moodily frowning and knawing

speedily served for me.
After dinner I smoked a cigar, and
pumped the valet withoutever guess

slept in a remote wing of the house.
I found out, also, which wereGondo

The rest of the house was Fhown

ingly proud of his waster'ssplendor.
I secretly made a plan of the inter

secret chambers, but decided that
there were none unless adjoining his
own; and of these the faithful valet
carrid the keys In his belt, and
vouchsafed me not so much as a

lulled his drowsy faculties.
When he was soundly asleep I ab

There was no one stirring in the
long corridor as I effected an entrance
into the ante room of the Senor's own

The forenoon wore away, and after

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

you to say to me?"
I opened my- eyes, and the coo!,

Instantly comprehended the situa

back to the Library. I placed my box

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.
