“One more thing and I have done. I want to swear to you again that I
had nothing to do with the death of Turnieff’s father. Maurice Delorme
did that, too, I believe, although I do not know. The money and the
jewels that were stolen from the old prince I never saw out of his
possession, although I think that Delorme could explain about that part
of it, too. And now, now——”
She turned her back to him for a moment, and waited. After a little
she turned about again, and raising her head proudly, asked:
“What are you going to do with me?”
“I am going to give you a bit of advice, Juno; that is all. It is that
you give up the life of an international spy, and of a diplomatic
agent, and live the life that will make you happy. That is all.”

After a time she asked him:
“What will you do with those men downstairs, Nick Carter?”
“I have been thinking about that,” he replied to her. “It would not do
for them to be taken to jail from your home. I will telephone for the
ambassador from here. He will send a closed carriage. We will bundle
these men into it—and, unless I greatly mistake, he will know how to
handle the situation.”
And the ambassador did know.
Just how it was done nobody ever discovered, but the men made a full
confession, and ultimately they suffered the extreme penalty of the law
in such cases.
Another thing: Bare-Faced Jimmy Duryea, with the many aliases, died
that same night in the prison where he was confined.
THE END.
No. 1288 of the NEW MAGNET LIBRARY will be entitled “A Play for
Millions.” This story by Nicholas Carter holds many thrills and
surprises for the reader.
Everybody Reads
The Street & Smith Novel
High-brow public opinion has changed radically during the past few
years, so far as placing a proper valuation on paper-covered reading
matter is concerned.
In the old days, anything between paper covers was a dime novel and,
therefore, to be avoided as cheap and contaminating.
Since men like Frank O’Brien have pointed out to the world the fact
that some of the best literature in the English language first appeared
between paper covers, such books are welcomed in the best of families.
The STREET & SMITH NOVELS are clean, interesting, and up-to-date.
There are hundreds of different titles, and we invite your careful
consideration of them from a standpoint of value and of literary
excellence.
