the United States, and expressed his regret that he was
unable to keep them permanently on his staff.

Gibson, he declared, would be dismissed in disgrace.

The detectives then went to Secret Service headquarters and reported to
their own chief, saying their work for the Custom House was finished.

Soon after that the trial and conviction of the La Croixs and their
accomplices took place.

It is safe to assume that they got the extreme penalty of the law upon the
evidence furnished by the Bradys.

When they were disposed of, the Secret Service detectives returned to their
regular duties on the force.

It was not long after that, when one of the most startling events in their
lives occurred. This happened when they were detailed upon a Secret Service
case. The adventures they met with were of the most thrilling description.
Their lives were threatened by dangers, and they did some of the most
marvellous work ever known in the department. But want of space here
prohibits our giving the details in this story. We have reserved it for a
new tale which will be issued in our next number.

THE END.

Read "THE BRADYS AND THE RUNAWAY BOYS; OR, SHADOWING THE CIRCUS SHARPERS,"
which will be the next number (80) of "Secret Service."
