But tio had not rightfully calculated
the extent of bln father's hatred. He
mad himself the evil genius of hts dis-
obedient eon; and, In consequence,
nothing Hubert touched prospered. Mr
Trevlyn destroyed the confidence of
his frlende lu him; he circulated scan-
dalous reports of his wife he made the
public to look with suspicious eye?
upon the unfortunate pair and took
the honestly earned bread out of their
very mouths. From bad to wot so it
went on. until, broken In health and
spirits Hubert made an appeal to his
father. It waa a cold, wet night, and he
beggt .1 for a little food for his wife and
child. They were literally starving!
Begged of hiB own father, and was re-
fused with cursoB. Not only refused,
h it kicked like a Jog from the door of
his childhood's home! There was a fear-
ful storm that night, and Hubert did
not come back. All nlgbt Ills young
wife hh: waiting for him, bushing the
feeble cries of the weary Infant upon
her breast With the dawn, she muf-
fled herself and child in a shawl and
want forth to Beak him. Half way from
her w retched home to the palatial man-
sion of Mr. Trevlyn he found her hus-
band stone dead, and shrouded In the
•now i he tender pitiful snow, that
covered him and hl3 wretchedness
from sight.
After that, people who knew Mr.
Trevlyn sp.ld that he grew more fret-
ful and disagreeable, fils nalr waa
bleached white as tlio snow, his hands
shook, and his erect triuno was bowed
\ and bent like that o( a very aged man
\Hia wife, Hubert’s mother, pined away
to a mere Bhadow, and before the lapse
of a year Bhe was a hopeless Idiot.
Helen Trevlyn took up the burden of
her life, refusing to despair because of
her child, ft was a very hard bI niggle
foi her, and she lived on, until, as we
have seen, when Archer was nine yearB
of age. phr died

Trevlyn he was almost beside Irlinscdf
with passion. It he had possessed
the power he would have wiped the
whole Trsvlyn race out of existence.
He shut himself up in his desolate gar-
ret with the tell-talo letters and papers
whb b hsul belonged to bis mother and
there, all alone, be took e. fearful oath
of vengeance. Tl o wrongs of hts pa-
rents ihould yet b> visited upon the
head of the man v, ao had been so cruel-
ly unpltylng. Ho did not know what
form bis revenge might take, but, t,o
buio is he lived, It should

pavement. From the sweet voice, Arch
had almost expected to see her. A flush
of grateful ail m irx t Ion lit up his face
one beamed upon him like a star from
the depths of the olmwje
"Ate you hurt?" she asked kindly.
“It was very careless of l’eter to let
the carriage strike you. Allow us to
take you home "
‘Thank you,” he said. ‘‘I am close
to where I work, and t am not hurt. It
Is only a timing bruise.”
Something familiar about him seemod
to strike her; she looked at him with
a strangely puzzled face, but he gave
her no light.
"la there nothing we can do for you?”
she asked at length.
A great presumption almost took his
breath away. He gave It voice on the
moment, afraid if he waited he should
lose the courage.
"If you will give me the cluster of
bluebells In your belt—”
She looked surprised, hesitated a i )larj
moment, then laid them in his hand
Ho bowed, and was lost In the crowd.
That night when he got home he
found Mat worse, she had been fall-
ing for a long lime She was a large
girl now, with great, preternalorally
bright eyes, and a spot of crimson In
each hollow cheek.
It was more than three months since
she had been able to do anything, and
Grandma Rugg was very harsh and
severe with her In consequence There
were black aud blue places on Uei
shoulders now where she had been
beaten but Arch did not know It. Mat
never spoke to him about her suffer
lugs, because it distressed him so, and
made him very angry with the old
woman. .

on her face growing deeper and wider.
She looked at toe blrmbells wlstfiillj,
but would not touch them. Arch of

sadly.
"No,” she said, “they me not for tne.

CHAPTER UI.
jw®1 1VB3 yearR passed.
Archer was four-
teen yctuts of age.
Ho hod left the
ctreet sweeping
huslne:;? some time
before, at the com-
mand of Grandma
Rugg, and entered
a third-class res-
taurant a« pn un-
der waiter. It was
not the best school in the world for
good morals. The people who fre-
quented the Garden Rooms, ns Hicy
were cnlb■«!. were mostly of a low class,
and all the Interests nnd associations
surrounding Arch were had. But per-
haps he waa not one .to be influenced
very largely by Ills surroundings. So
the Garden Rooms, if they did not
make him better, did not make him
worse.
In nil these year? he had kept the
memory of Margie Harrison fresh and
green. 1 hough he had not seen her since
the (ley his mother died. The remem
biancc of her beauty and purity kept
him oftentimes from sin; and when he
fell tempted to give utterance to oaths,
hi i soft eyes seemed to come between
him and temptation.
One day he was going across the
cl i t cl u> make change for a customer,
when n stylish carriage came dashing
f'.ioiig me homes shied at some ob-
Jei • and the pole of the carriage struck
Arch and knocked him down. The
driu i drew In Ihe hoisou with an Im-
piei uion.
Arch jin Ued himself up, and stood rc
covering his catlered senses, leaning
against a lamppost.
"Si rved yo right!” said the coachman
roughly. ' You'd no business to be run-
viing be'rent of foil; c' carriages."
“Slop!" raid a clear voice Inside the
coach "What has occurred, Piter "
"Onl a ragged boy knocked down;
hut he's up again all right Shall 1
<jrlvo on? You will be lale to the con-
cert ”
"1 .-ad survive it, if I am," said the

officer iiw naine we? tehn Sharp a
sleek, keen-eyed, smooth-tongued In-
dividual, who never boasted or blus- !
tered, but who ga»> people the Idea I
that al iotas time % had been a per-
hou of consequence This man attached ’
him-” !f particularly to Arch Trevlyn.
With insidious running lie wormed j
himself into the boy’s confidence, aud
gained, to a certain degree his friend- i
ship. Arch did not trust aim entirely,
though There was something about
him from which he shrank the touch |
of his white, Jeweled hand made his 1
flsefc creep, like the touch of a ser-
pen!
But Mr. Sharp hat un object to gato.
ami set hlmsolf resolutely to work to
carry bis point. He made himself nec j
essary to Arch. He bought him books, |
and taught hitn In the evenings, when
neither were engaged otherwise. He
bad oei u wc.i .•eucated, atul In Arch ho
had hn Rpt scholar. Every spare mo- 1
went ot the boy's life was absorbed In 1
his hooks.
By and by Sharp learned the whole
history of th wrongs Inflicted on Arch b
parents by old Mr. Trevlyn He snapped
at the story as a dog snaps at a bone
Hut he was cautious and patient, and
It was a long time before he showed
himself to Arch In his true character. 1
And then, when ho did, the revelation
bei n made so much by degree*,
that the boy was hardly shockud to
find that his friend was a housebreaker
und h highway robber.
Hong before lie had formed a plan |
to rob the house of Mr. Trevlyn. It
was a fleld that promised well. Mr. |
Trevlyn, with the idiosyncrasy of age,
had Invested most of his fortune In dia-
monds. and those he kept In a chamber
in hta house. His chief dollght con-
sisted In gloating over these precious
sloncs. Night after night he would
nit handling his diamonds, chuckling
ever his wealth, and threatening Im-
aginary plunderers with destruction. |
So, his servants said, and Sharp re- ;
peated the story to Arch with sundry
variations and alterations suited tc the
case. He |md a persuasive tongue, and
It Is lii-le wonder that the boy, hating
‘.l k® I h*8 grandfather us he did, and resolved
as ho was upon revenging hlH father's
a rouge should fall Into the snare Ha
wanted Mr. Trevlyn to suffer he did
not care how. If the loss of his dia-
monds would he to him a severer blow
than any other, then let It fall.
Sharp used many specious arguments
to induce Arch to become his accom-
j plice in robbing the Trevlyn mansion,
but the only one which bad any weight
wan that he could thus revenge his
father's wrongs.
"Only assist me, and secure your re- 1
verge,” paid the wily schemer, "and
1 will share tin spoils with you. There
will be enough to enrich us both for
life.”
Arch drew himself up proudly, a fiery
red on his cheek, a dangerous gleam m
his dai k eye.
”1 am no thief, air' I'd scorn to 'eke
a cent from that old man to use for m>
benefit 1 I would not touch hit dia-
monds It they lay bore at my f -d. Hut
If I ceu mane him suiter anything like
as my poor father suffered through him,
th(i’ I am ready to turn robber yes.
! pickpocket, if you will!” he added sav-
j agely
' Sharp appointed the night His
■ plans were craftily lain. Mr. Trevlyn
| he he?, ascertained a Intern on
| Thursday night; he had taken a little
Journey Into the country for hi a health,
and only the servants and his ward
would sleep In the house.
Thursday night was dark and rainy
At midnight Sharp and Arch stood be-
fore the house they were tc plunder.
No thought of shame nor sin entered
Archer Trevlyn’s heart; he did not
seem to lliink he waa about to dls-
