Marcus had found Meg near to the river nearly dead and he had nursed her back to life. Her reason had returned and her story of the murder of James Conroyd, with the confession of the man who did it, Manseur, vindicated Robert Ellison of all charges. The details of this trial need not be given. It is sufficient to say that Dean Mercer was shown to be innocent of any wrongdoing and all charges against him were removed. At a sale of the effects of the missing Colonel Darringford, Judge Oglesby bought the steamer _Warrior_, which was then being repaired. He caused the boat to be given a thorough overhauling and the result was that Dean Mercer found himself in command of a steamer that did good service. Finding that at last they would be accommodated satisfactorily, the people began to patronize the boat, and it wasn’t long before a second was needed. Judge Oglesby had prepared for this and the result was something marvelous to the inhabitants of Millville. Business immediately revived; summer tourists came there to spend their vacations, and traffic of one kind and another immediately sprang up. Marcus Ellison was given employment and he joined with Dean in the upbuilding of the Lake Shore Line. Of course Jack Carboy became the man at the wheel on the _Warrior_, until he and Captain Mercer were transferred to the new _Spray_, which is now in the midst of a splendid career. THE END. In No. 176 of the ALGER SERIES, entitled “The Young Steel Worker,” by Frank H. Macdougal, the story of a young self-made man is told in such an interesting way that all its readers will enjoy it. The Dealer who handles the STREET & SMITH NOVELS is a man worth patronizing. The fact that he does handle our books proves that he has considered the merits of paper-covered lines, and has decided that the STREET & SMITH NOVELS are superior to all others. He has looked into the question of the morality of the paper-covered book, for instance, and feels that he is perfectly safe in handing one of our novels to any one, because he has our assurance that nothing except clean, wholesome literature finds its way into our lines. Therefore, the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer is a careful and wise tradesman, and it is fair to assume selects the other articles he has for sale with the same degree of intelligence as he does his paper-covered books. Deal with the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer. =STREET & SMITH CORPORATION= =79 Seventh Avenue= =New York City= Transcriber’s Notes: Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
