He made himself the evil genius of his disobedient - obedient son ; and , in consequence , nothing Hubert touched prospered. Mr. Trevlyn destroyed the confidence of his friends In him ; he circulated scandalous - dalous reports of his wife ; lie made the public to look with suspicious eyes upon the unfortunate pair , and took the honestly earned bread out of their very mouths. From bad to worse it went on , until , broken in health and spirits , Hubert made an appeal to his father. It was a cold , wet night , and lie begged for a little food for his wife and child. They were lite'ally starving' .Begged of his own father , and was refused - fused with curses. Not only refused , belt kicked like a dog from the door of his childhood's home ! There was a fearful - ful storm that night , and Hubert did not come back. All nbht ; his young wife at waiting for him , hushing the feeble cries of the weary infant upon her breast. With the dawn , she muffled - fled herself and child in a shawl and went forth to seek him. Half way from her wretched home to the palatial man- siblt of Mr. Trevlyn she found her husband - band , stone dead , and shrouded in the snow-the tender , pitiful snow , that covered him and his wretchedness from sight. After that , people who knew Mr. Trevlyn said that he grew more fret- ftil and 'lisagreeable. His hair was ' ) leached white as the snow , his hands shook , and his erect frame was bowed and bent like that of a very abed man. His wife , Hubert's mother , pined away to a mere shadow , and before the lapse of a year she was a hopeless idiot. Helen Trevlyn took up the burden of her life , refusing to despair because of her child. It was a very hard struggle for her , and she lived on , until , as we have seen , when Archer was nine years of age , she died. When all this was known to Archer Trevlyn he was almost beside himself with passion. If he had possessed the power , he would have wiped the whole Trevlyn race out of existence. He shut himself up in his desolate garret - ret with the tell-tale letters and papers which had belonged to his mother and there , all alone , he took a fearful oath of vengeance. The wrongs of his parents - rents should yet be visited upon the head of the man who had been so cruelly - ly unpitying. He did not know what form his revenge might take , but , so sure as be lived , it should fall some tlnl : ! CHAPTER III. , d tt IVE years passed. Archer was fourteen - teen years of age. He had left the street sweeping business some time before , at the command - mand of Grandma Rugg , and entered a third-class restaurant - taurant as an un- der waiter. It was not the best school in the world for ; good morals. The people who frequented - quented the Garden Rooms , as they were called , were mostly of a low class , ' and all the interests and associations , surrounding Arch were bad. But per- liaps he was not one to be influenced very largely by his surroundings. So the Garden Rooms , if they did not 'make ' him better , did not make him worse. In all these years he had kept the memory of Margie Harrison fresh and green , though he had not seen her since the day his mother died. The remem- ibrance of her beauty and purity kept him oftentimes from sin ; and when he ! felt tempted to give utterance to oaths , ihe9soft eyes seemed to come between Ihim and temptation. One day he was going across the street to make change for a customer , when a stylish carriage came dashing along. The horses shied at some object - ! ject , and the pole of the carriage struck Arch and knocked him down. The ; driver drew in the horses with an im- precation. Arch picked himself up , and stood re- 'covering his tattered senses , leaning 'against a lamppost. "Served ye right' " said the coachman roughly. "You'd no business to be running - ning befront of folkses' carriages. " "Stop' " said a clear voice inside the coach. "What has occurred , Peter ? " "Only a ragged boy knocked down ; but he's up again all right. Shall I drive 'on ? You will be late to the con- cert" "I shall survive it , if I am , ' said the voice. "Get down and open the door. I must see if the child is hurt. " "It's no child , miss ; it is a boy older than yourself , " said the man , surlily obeying the command. Margie Harrison descended to the pavement. From the sweet voice , Arch bad almost expected to see her. A flush of grateful admiration lit up his face. bne beamed upon him like a star from the depths of the clouds. "Are you hurt ? " she asked kindly. "It was very careless of Peter to let the carriage strike you. Allow us to take you home. " I "Thank you , " he said. "I am close 1 to where I work , and I am not hurt. It 1 is only a trifling bruise. " Something familiar about him seemed to strike her ; she looked at him with a strangely puzzled face , but he gava 3 pier no light Y . w. Y "Is 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 wafted he should lose the courage. "If you will give me the cluster of bluebells in your belt- " She looked surprised , hesitated a moment , then laid them in his hand. He bowed , and was lost in the crowd. That night when lie got home he found Mat worse. She had been failing - ing for a long time. She was a large girl now , with great , preternaturally 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 and blue places on her shoulders now where she had been beaten , but Arch did not know it. Mat never spoke to him about her sufferings - ings , because it distressed him so , and made him very angry with the old woman. He went in and sat down on the straw beside Mat , and before he knew it he was telling her about Margie Harrison. He always brought all his joys and sorrows - rows to Mat now , just as lie used to carry them to his mother. The girl listened intently , the spots on her face growing deeper and wider. She looked at the bluebells wistfully , but would not touch them. Arch offered - fered her a spray. She shook her head sadly. "No , she said , "they are not for me. Keep them , Arch. Some time , I think , you will be rich and happy , and have all the flowers and beautiful things you wish. "If I ever am , Mat , you shall be my queen , and dress in gold and silver , " answered the boy warmly , "and never do any more heavy work to make your hands hard. " "You are very good , Arch , she said. "I thank you , but I shall not be there , you know. I think I am going away- going where , I shall see my mother , and your mother , too , Arch , and where all the world will be full of flowers ! Then I shall think of you , Arch , and wish I could send you some. " "illat , dear Mat ! don't talk so strangely - ly ! " said the boy , clasping her hot hands in his. "You must not think of going away ! What should I do without you ? " She smiled , and touched her lips to his hand , which had stolen under her head , and lay so near her cheek. "You would forget me , Arch. I mean after a time , and I should want you to. But I love you better than anything else in all the world. And it is better that I should die. A great deal better ! Last night I dreamed it was. Your mother came and told me so. Do you know how jealous I have been of that Margie Harrison - risen ? I have watched you closely. I have seen you kiss a dead rose that I knew she gave you. And I longed to see her so much , that I have waited around the splendid house where she lives , and seen her time and again come out to ride , with her beautiful dresses , and the white feather in her hat , and the wild roses on her cheeks. And my heart ached with such a hot , bitter pain. But it's all over now , Arch. I am not jealous now. I love her and you-both of you together. If I do go away , I want you to think kindly of me , and-and Arch-dear Arch. I -good-night , am so tired. " He gathered her head to his bosom , and kissed her lips. Poor little Mat ! In the morning , when Arch came down , she had indeed gone away-drifted out with the tide and with the silent night. After Mat's death the home at Grandma - ma Rugg's became insupportable to Arch. He could not remain there. The old woman was crosser than ever , and though he gave her every penny of his earnings , she was not satisfied. So Arch took lodgings in another part of the city , quite as poor a place , but there no one had the right to grumble - ble at him. Still , because she was some relation to Mat , he gave Grandma Rugg full half of his money , but he never remained - mained inside her doors longer than necessity demanded. In his new lodgings he became acquainted - quainted with a middle-aged man who represented himself as a retired army officer. His name was John Sharp-a sleek , keen-eyed , smooth-tongued individual - dividual , who never boasted or blustered - tered , but who gave people the idea that at some time he had been a person - son of consequence. This man attached himself particularly to Arch Trevlyn. With insidious cunning he wormed himself into the boy's confidence , and gained , to a certain degree , his friend- ship. Arch did not trust him entirely , though. There was something about him from which he shrank-the touch of his white , jeweled hand , made his flesh creep , like the touch of a serpent - pent But Mr. Sharp had an object to gain , and set himself resolutely to work to carry his point. He made himself necessary - essary to Arch. He bought him books , and taught him in the evenings , when neither were engaged otherwise. He had been well educated , and in Arch he had an apt scholar. Every spare moment - ment of the boy's life was absorbed in his books. By and by Sharp learned the whole history of th wrongs inflicted on Arch's parents by old Mr. Trevlyn , He snapped at the story as a dog snaps at a bone. - But lie was cautious and patient , and it was a long time before he showed himself to Arch in his true character. And then , when he did , the revelation had been made so much by degrees , that the boy was hardly shocked to find that his friend was a housebreaker and a highway robber. Long before he had formed a plan to rob the house of Mr. TrevIyn. It was a field that promised well. Mr. Trevlyn , with the idiosyncrasy of age , had invested most of his fortune in diamonds - mends , and these he kept in a chamber in his house. His chief delight consisted - sisted in gloating over these precious stones. Night after night he would sit handling his diamonds , chuckling over his wealth , and threatening imaginary - aginary plunderers with destruction. So , his servants said , and Sharp repeated - peated the story to Arch with sundry variations and alterations suited to the case. He had a persuasive tongue , and it is little wonder that the boy , hating his grandfather as he did , and resolved as he was upon revenging his father's wrongs , should fall into the snare. He wanted Mr. TrevIyn to suffer-he did not care how. If the loss of his diamonds - mends would be to him a severer blow than any other , then let it fall. Sharp used many specious arguments to induce Arch to become his accomplice - plice in robbing the Trevlyn mansion , but the only one which had any weight was that he could thus revenge his father's wrongs. "Only assist me , and secure your revenge - venge , " said the wily schemer , "and ' I will share the 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 in his dark eye. "I am no thief , sir ! I'd scorn to take a cent from that old man to use for my benefit ! I would not touch his diamonds - mends if they lay here at my feet. But if I can make him suffer anything like as my poor father suffered through him , then I am ready to turn robber-yes , pickpocket , if you will ! " he added sav- agely. Sharp appointed the night. His plans were craftily laid. Mr. Trevlyn he had ascertained wou1Q be absent on Thursday night ; he had taken a little journey into the country for his 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 before - fore the house they were to plunder. No thought of shame nor sin entered Archer Trevlyn's heart ; he did not seem to think he was about to disgrace - grace himself for life ; he thought only of Mr. Trevlyn's dismay when he should return and find the bulk of his riches swept away from him at one blow. "He took all my father had , " he said , under his breath ; "he would have sullied - lied the fair fame of my mother , and if I could take from him everything but life , I would do it. " Sharp , with a dexterous skill , removed - moved the fastenings of a shutter , and then the window yielded readily to his 1 touch. He stepped inside ; Arch fol- lowed. All was quiet , save the heavy ticking of the old clock on the hall stairs. Up the thickly carpeted stairway - way , along the corridor they passed , and Sharp stopped before a closed door "We must pass through one room before - fore reaching that where the safe is which contains the treasure , " he said , in a whisper. "It is possible that there may be some one sleeping in that room. If so , leave them to me , that is all. " ( To BE CONTINUED , ) AFTER HER GOLDEN LOCKS. Miss Martha Panzeram Has a Narrow Escape from a Razor. A razor , a young lady and a covetous - tous man 'were the cause of a lot of excitement - citement at the Washington house last night about 7:30 : o'clock , says the Nebraska - braska State Journal. The young lady was Miss Martha Panzeram. She was in the kitchen attending to some domestic duties , when she heard a rap on the door. She opened it and a man asked her for a drink of water. She turned to get it for him. The minute her back was turned he made a spring and grabbed her by her hair , which she usually wore braided down her back. He made one swift stroke with a razor , but as she turned partly around he only - ly succeeded in cutting off a few locks. She screamed and the man ran out of the door. As he ran another man , who had evidently been watching the rear of the building , joined him and together they made their escape. A report was sent to the station at once and Sergt. Nash was detailed to look up the man. He got as good a description as was obtainable from a boy who saw the men from a stable back of the hotel and from the young lady. He arrested a young fellow who gave his name as William McCarthy. He had a razor in his clothing , but nothing else to show that he may have been the man who was after Miss Panzeram's golden locks. The boy partly identified McCarthy as the as- sailant. Miss Panzeram has a beautiful head of hair remaining. It is golden brown t in color and reaches to her waist. The locks which were severed were found outside the door , where they were dropped by the man. The perpetrator of the deed , if caught , will have to answer to the charge of making an assault with intent - ' tent to disfigure. The penalty is im-1 i prisonment for one year in the peniten , tiary. t tf Sugar Coming In.

But they made a fool of Wilson , just as surely as Paris is progressing - gressing in the same direction with Bennett. If an excess of imports makes a country - try wealthy , why is it that British papers - pers , especially the London Economist , are congratulating the English people because last January's exports from the United Kingdom were 16 per cent larger than in January , 1895 ? Why is that , in speaking of a decrease in their imports - ports of raw cotton , they say that "the entire burden fell upon the United States ? " If Bennett's theory was the correet one-that "the import is really the goose that lays the golden eggs , " then England is to be pitied for losing some of "the golden eggs. " But En- glan3 pities us , the exporter , saying that "the entire burden fell upon the United States , " Why ? Because we sold less. Again , the British papers refer to the excellent increase of 10,345,000 in their exports to all countries during 1895 , showing that 9199,000 of the amount was due to the low democratic tariff that we now have in the Uited States. Over 90 per cent of their enlarged shipments - ments were made to this country , and hey are glad of it. They are not clamoring - oring for more imports. When they decline - cline "the entire burden" falls upon the United States. They don't transact business on theory , but on hard pan , bedrock , pounds , shillings and pence basis. Were it otherwise , the English papers would not say that the. United Kingdom has "at last entered upon a period of fresh activity in trade , and hat "the entire burden" of its smaller mports falls upon the United States. Bennett should open a school for eco- nomics. We doubt , though , whether it would be as successful as his school for caudal. He is anxious to teach the heories of economics , and says "there hould be a campaign of education on his exceedingly Important matter. " C-o ahead with the "campaign. " It is V - t. age and patriotism to take care of the interests of the southern people. In my judgment we should nominate that man whose name is identified with the prosperous times of the past and , as a consequence , has become a household word and a synonym for prosperity throughout the length and breadth of this land. I refer to the Hon. William McKinley of Ohio. With such a platform - form and with Governor McKinley as our standard bearer , North Carolina , Tennessee , Virgina and perhaps other states are sure to give their electoral votes to the republican party. The opportunity - portunity of effectually breaking up the solid south is now presented to the republican - publican party of this nation. Therein lies the hope of the south.-Hon. Peter C.
