r, and were taken to Swamp Angel and locked up.
As Mr. Dalton was anxious to get back to New York, the detectives got
their three prisoners and accompanied the broker and his daughter north
a few days later, and they finally reached the metropolis.
Of course everybody was surprised to see the broker appear alive and
well, after believing so long he was dead and buried.
In due time Roland Mason and his two negro pals were put on trial for
their many offenses, and the testimony of the Bradys convicted them.
Their sentences were the extreme limit, and they went to Sing Sing.
Mr. Dalton soon had his business re-established, and found that after
all his losses by Mason's peculations were not very heavy since the
time he was supposed to have been found dead.
It is safe to say the forged will was destroyed.
From that time onward the Bradys had the warmest friends in Lizzie
Dalton and her father. But they certainly earned their esteem.
They had gone beyond their depth several times while unravelling the
great swamp mystery, but success crowned their efforts in the end.
Praised for the good work they did by their chief, and lauded to the
skies by the press, they became more celebrated than ever.
But their work for the Secret Service was not ended with the happy
finish of the Dalton case. They were soon busy with a new piece of
detective work that taxed all their ingenuity.
But we have reserved a history of their exploits while so engaged for
another story.
THE END.
Read "THE BRADYS' HOPELESS CASE; OR, AGAINST PLAIN EVIDENCE," which
will be the next number (96) of "Secret Service."
