<p class="h2sub">WHAT FINALLY COMES TO THE BOY WHO SUCCEEDED.</p>
<p>“Great Scott! Luke Maslin! What does this mean?
You an associate of Tenderloin thugs! Is it possible you
have got so low as this?” cried Dick, in indignant amazement.</p>
<p>“Save me!” almost shrieked Silas Maslin’s son, in abject
terror. “They made me what I am,” and he pointed to
the reviving rascals, who were no other than the man
Mudgett and the Walkhill terror, Tim Bunker. “They
won’t let me go home! They make me do as they want!
Oh, take me away from them!”</p>
<p>“You know this boy?” asked the gentleman who said
his name was Armstrong, grabbing Dick by the arm in a
state of almost uncontrollable agitation.</p>
<p>“Yes, sir.”</p>
<p>“Did he not say his name was Maslin?”</p>
<p>“Yes, sir; that is his name. He is the son of the man
with whom I lived almost all my life—Silas Maslin, of
Cobham’s Corner.”</p>
<p>“Silas Maslin!” exclaimed the gentleman, in great excitement.
“Did he not once live at Franconia, New Hampshire?”</p>
<p>“That’s right. He did,” replied Dick.</p>
<p>“And you are the boy who at the age of five was left
in his care and never was called for?”</p>
<p>“Why—why, how did you know that?” asked Dick, in
astonishment.</p>
<p>“Because I am the man who left you with Mr. Maslin.
I am your father, George Armstrong, and you are the son
I have searched for for years, but could gain no trace of.
My boy—my dear, dear boy, this is a strange, though none
the less a providential meeting.”</p>
<p>He held out his arms to Dick, and the lad, though of course
it could not be expected that he had retained any recollection
of his parent, instinctively felt that this man was
indeed the father he had long yearned to know, but hardly
expected to see in this world.</p>
<p>Needless to say the two embraced right there in the
street, to the silent wonder of Jennie Nesbitt and young
Maslin, neither of whom quite comprehended the meaning
of it all.</p>
<p>At this interesting juncture Mudgett sat up and stared
around him like one recovering from an ugly dream, while
almost at the same moment, a big policeman came sauntering
around the corner, swinging his club negligently to
and fro as if such a thing as trouble on his beat was very
far from his thoughts.</p>
<p>Luke saw him at once and started to run, but Mr. Armstrong
blocked his way.</p>
<p>“Don’t let him arrest me!” he begged, appealing to Dick.</p>
<p>“Take this card and call upon me to-morrow, and I will
see that you get home to your people,” he replied. “Let
him go—father.”</p>
<p>It was the first time he had addressed Mr. Armstrong
by that title, and it sounded strange on his lips.</p>
<p>The gentleman stepped aside, and Luke flew up the street
like a frightened deer.</p>
<p>This strange proceeding attracted the officer’s attention,
and he got active and alert at once.</p>
<p>He approached the group at a quick gait.</p>
<p>“Officer,” said Mr. Armstrong, in a commanding tone,
“arrest these two rascals. They assaulted me with intent
to rob. I am stopping at the Normandie and will appear
against them in the morning. Here is my card.”</p>
<p>“How about that fellow running up the street?” asked
the policeman, sharply.</p>
<p>“Never mind him. You couldn’t overtake him now.”</p>
<p>“I’ll have to ask you to step around with us to the station,”
said the officer as he jerked the reviving Tim Bunker
to his feet with one hand and with the other secured a
strong grasp on Mudgett’s coat collar.</p>
<p>“Very well,” acquiesced Mr. Armstrong, with no little
reluctance. “Come to the Hotel Normandie, my son, after
you have taken the young lady home.”</p>
<p>“I will, father.”</p>
<p>“Why, Dick!” exclaimed Jennie, when they were once
more alone and headed for the elevated station again.
“Please tell me what this means. Is this gentleman really
your father? I thought you told us your father was dead.”</p>
<p>“So I did, and so I supposed he was,” replied the boy,
whose feelings were a mixture of joy and bewilderment over
this strange and unexpected discovery.</p>
<p>And on the way to her home, in Seventy-second Street,
he told her what he had learned about his parentage from
the old diary once kept by Silas Maslin, which he had found
in the attic of the storekeeper’s house at Cobham’s Corner.</p>
<p>“It was but a bare outline of one short week in my young
life’s history,” he said in conclusion, “but it gave me the
key to the mystery which had till that moment surrounded
my parentage—the secret the Maslins never divulged for
reasons of their own. But I shall soon know all. Yes,”
cried the boy, tears of wistful eagerness stealing into his
fine eyes, “to-night before I sleep I shall know who my
mother was—for something tells me she is not alive—that
she died long, long ago, probably about the time my
father carried me to Franconia.”</p>
<p>Jennie was much affected and treated him with a sympathetic
gentleness that warmed his heart toward her more
than ever.</p>
<p>“You must bring your father to see us, Dick, very soon.
Remember, we are all interested in you and whatever concerns
you. You will do this, won’t you?” she said, laying
her hand on his arm as they stood at the outside entrance
of her home.</p>
<p>“Yes,” said the boy, with glistening eyes, “I will. He
will be glad to know those who have been so kind to me.
Do you know,” he cried with impetuous suddenness, “I wish
you were my sister?”</p>
<p>“Do you?” said Jennie, blushing like a rose and suddenly
looking down.</p>
<p>“Yes, I do.”</p>
<p>Perhaps he did, but that was because he didn’t know any
better just then.</p>
<p>He thought differently later on—but that is another
story.</p>
<p>However, in the excitement of the moment, and, considering
what he had just passed through he might be well excused,
he did a very audacious thing.</p>
<p>He actually kissed Jennie Nesbitt then and there.</p>
<p>Then, realizing the enormity of his offence, he blurted
out a hasty “Good night!” and flew down the stoop, leaving
the lovely little blonde in a state of happy confusion
we will not attempt to describe.</p>
<p>An hour later Dick was seated with his father in an elegant
room on the third floor of the Hotel Normandie,
listening to the story that father had to tell.</p>
<p>As Dick had guessed, his mother was dead.</p>
<p>She had passed away on the eve of a financial panic in
Boston which had wrecked his father’s business and temporarily
clouded his name with a suspicion of unfair commercial
methods.</p>
<p>Nearly crazed by the loss of his wife, not to mention
his business reverses, Mr. Armstrong in the first days of his
misery fled to the recesses of New Hampshire, taking his
only boy with him.</p>
<p>“I was shortly summoned back from Franconia by a
committee of my creditors, with whom I succeeded in making
a partial arrangement contingent on the success of
certain mining interests I had in the West,” said Mr. Armstrong.
“I sent Mr. Maslin one hundred dollars to defray
your board for a certain length of time, for I could not
return to you immediately as it was urgently necessary I
should go at once to Colorado. Afterward I sent him other
sums from the West for a like purpose. It was five years
before I found myself able to return East. While not rich,
I had done very well and my prospects were bright, my
business troubles of the past having been entirely wiped out.
When I went to Franconia I found the Maslins had moved
away a short time before, leaving no clue to their new
address, and from that hour to this day I never obtained
a clue, even by the assistance of paid detectives, to their
new home.”</p>
<p>“And yet, father, all the time they were living at Cobham’s
Corner, on the Erie Canal, and I was living with
them, not as a boy whose board had ever been paid, but as
a friendless slave of never-ending toil,” said Dick, more
indignant than ever at the unfair treatment he had experienced
at the hands of Silas Maslin and his wife.</p>
<p>“The unfeeling rascal!” exclaimed Mr. Armstrong.
“But he and I will have a reckoning that will not tend to
his advantage.”</p>
<p>Notwithstanding this new phase of Mr. Maslin’s duplicity,
Dick did not fail to give Luke, his wayward son, the
necessary money to take him home, when that repentant
young man called to see him next morning at Mr. Nesbitt’s
offices.</p>
<p>Probably the most excited as well as delighted young
fellow in New York next day was Joe Fletcher when his
stanch friend and chum told him the news that he had
actually found his father—now a millionaire mine-owner.</p>
<p>“I never was so glad at anything in my whole life, Dick,
old boy,” he cried, with a beaming face. And then he
stopped, and his countenance suddenly clouded. “Perhaps
a seven-dollar-a-week produce clerk is hardly a fit companion
for the son of the wealthy Mr. Armstrong. It will
break my heart to lose you, Dick, but at least it will be
a satisfaction to know you’ve reached your proper station.”</p>
<p>“Don’t you talk nonsense, Joe,” said Dick, grasping his
hand with a feeling that could not be mistaken. “Chums
we’ve been in adversity, and so shall we remain in the days
when prosperity has overtaken one of us at least. Glad as
I am to recover my father, I am proud to say that, without
any help from him and but little in a business sense from
even Mr. Nesbitt, I have succeeded in making my way to
the front, even if I am only seventeen years old.”</p>
<p>“That’s right,” agreed Joe, fervently.</p>
<p>And there were others who also coincided with this opinion,
the Nesbitts, for instance, and Jennie more than her
parents, for a few years later she gave her hand where she
had long since given her heart—to Dick Armstrong, the
BOY WHO SUCCEEDED.</p>
