BY CLARA AUCUoTA IWTFRNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION CttLHTEK III.—(Costing so. t Hr opened the door with one of a bunch of keys which he carried, and noiselessly entered. The gas was turned down low, but a mellow radiance filled the place. A bed stood In one corner, and Sharp advnnced toward It. The noise he had made, slight though ft was. aroused the occupant, and, as she started up In affright, Arch met the soft, pleading eyes of Margin Harrison son. She spoke to him, not. to Sharp. "Do not let him kill me!" Sharp laid a rough hand on her shoul der, und put a knife at her throat. Simultaneously, Arch sprang upon him like a tiger. "Release that girl,” he hissed. "Dare to touch her with the tips of your fingers, and by Heaven I will murder you." Sharp sprang back with an oath, and at the same moment a pistol shot rang through the house, and Sharp, bathed In blood, fell to the floor. Old Mr. Trevlyn, travel stained and wet, strode Into the room. "I’ve killed him,” he said, In a cracked voice of Intense satisfaction. "He didn't catch old Trevlyn napping. « i___-ii ikaoM after mV diamond!, and I gave up the Journey. Margie, child, are the Jewel* safe?" She had fallen back on the pillow*, pale as death, her white eight dress •pattprod with the blood of the dead robber. Arch lifted a tiny glove from the carpet, thrust It Into his bosom, and, before old Trevlyn could raise a hand td stop Jblm, be had got clear of the premise*. Such a relief as he felt when the cool, fresh air struck his face. He had been saved from overt criminality. Ood had not permitted him to thus debase himself. Now that his excitement was gone, be saw the helnousnesB of the sin he i|#d been about to commit In all Its deformity. Let old Trevlyn go! Let him gloat over bis diamonds while yet he bad the opportunity. He would not despoil him of his treasures, but he could not give up his scheme of vengeance. It should be brought about some other way. A large reward was offered by Mr. Trevlyn for the apprehension of Sharp's accomplice, but, as no description of bis person could be given by any one egeept Margie, who could not or would not be explicit on that point, he was not secured. Trevlyn recognized and appreciated her noble generosity In suffering him to go free, for In the one look she had given him on that disgraceful occasion be had felt that she recognized him. But she pitied him enough to let him go free* Well, he would show her that her con fidence was not misplaced. He would deserfe her forbearance. He was re solved upon a new life. lie left the saloon, and after many rebuffs succeeded In getting employ ment as errand boy In a large Import ing house. The salary was a mere pit tance, but It kept him In clothes and coarse food, until one day, about a year after his apprenticeship there, he chanced to save the life of Mr. Belgrade, the senior partner. A gas pipe in the private office of the firm exploded, and the place took Are, and Mr. Belgrade, smothered and helpless, would have perished in the flames, had not Arch, with a bravery few would have expect ed In a bashful, retiring-boy, plunged sKniiiinVi i Yw» umnbo anH fliinin and hnra him to n place of safety. Mr. Belgrade was a man with a con science, and, grateful for hts life, he re warded his preserver by a clerkship of Importance. The duties of this of fice he discharged faithfully for three years, when the death of the head clerk left a vacancy, and when Arch was nineteen he received the situation. Through these three years he had beefi a close student. Far Into the night he pored over his books, and. too proud to go to school, he hired a teacher and was taught privately. At twenty he was quite aa well educated as uiue tenths of the young men now turned out by our fashionable colleges. Humors of Margie Harrison's tri umphs reached him constantly, foi Margie was a belle and a beauty now Her parent* were dead, and ahe hw been left to tno guardianship or Mr Trevlyn. at whose bouse she made h* home sad where ahe reigned n ver; queen Old Trevlyn'* heart at taa found something beside hta diamond to worship, and Margie had it all he own way SHu came into the store of Bet*rads | tv one day and naked to look at aom Ion Trevlyn was the only clerk dt« engaged and wttk a «*ty cknageobl fare b* cam* forward to attend to k*< He fell that eke would recognise him i oneo I hat she would remember whet •It had see* him ih* last tlm* a hour krsoksr like kehl kta reputattoe In k« heegiss His kaad trembled aa ke took dew the ie gluaced el hie face, etnfl of surprise 4 > tMts.su* patofi hhggh seept ever her twee It* dropp* ta* has and the rich iocs* felt ever k Tnrdee me," he enld. kurrleaii. an •kneplng tn pick them up the lltl glove h* had stolsn en that night e> skk k he nlwets wore In hie Poena*, h gut and drepp»l *moag the lace* •he peaked it up nttk a little efy The veep |h>< that I loet feet yen ago! And you are—" She stopped suddenly. He paled to the lips, but, lifting his head proudly, said: "Go on. Finish the sentence. I can bear It." "No, I will not go on. I-et the mem ory die. I knew you then, but you were so young, and had to bear so much among temptations. And the other was a villain. No, I am silent. You are safe.” He stooped and, lifting the border of her shawl, kissed It reverently. "If I live,” he said solemnly, "you will be glad you have been so merciful. Some time I shall hear you say so. She did not purchase any laces. She went out forgetful of her errand, and Arch was so awkward for the remain der of the day, and committed so many blunders, that his fellow clerks laughed at him unrebuked, and Mr. Belgrade seriously wondered If Trevlyn had not been taking too much champagne. CHAPTER IV. ARGIE HARRI son and her guar dian sat at break fast. Mr. Trevlyn showed his years very plainly. He was nearly seven ty-flv»—he looked eighty. Margie looked very lovely this morning and It was of this the old man was thinking as he glanced at her across th.o table. She bad.more than fulfilled the promise of her childhood. The golden hair was chestnut now, anil pushed behind her ears In heavy, rippling masses of light and shadow. Her eyes had taken a deeper tone they were like wells whose depth you could not guess at. Her features were delicately Irregular, the forehead low, broad and white; her CDin WHn uiinjmru «o her mouth still ripe and red as a dam nek rosebud. She wore a pink muslin wrapper, tied with white ribbons, and In her hair drooped a cluster of apple blossoms. "Margie, dear,” said Mr. Trevlyn, pausing In his work of buttering a muf fin. "I want you to look your prettiest tonight. I am going to bring home a friend of mine—one who was also your father’s friend—Mr. Llnmere. He ar rived from Europe today.” Margie's cheek lost a trifle of its peachy bloom. She toyed with her spoon, but did not reply to his remark. "Did you understand me, child? Mr. Llnmere has returned,” "Yes, sir.” "And is coming here tonight. Re member to take extra pains with your self, Margy, for he has seen all the Kuropeun beauties, and I do not want my little American flower to be cast In the shade. Will you remember It?” "Certainly, If you wish It, Mr. Trev lyn." "Margie!" "Sir!” "You are aware that Mr. Llnmere la your affianced husband, are you not?” “I have been told so.” "And yet In the face of that fact well. of all things, girls do beat me! Thank heaven, 1 have none of my own,” he added testily. "Girls are better let alone, sir. It Is very bard to feel one’s self bound to fulfil a contruct of this kind.” "Hard! Well, now, I should think It easy. Mr. Llnmere is all that any rea sonable woman could wish. Not too old. nor yet too young; ubout forty HVr. WHICU IB jUDi iuc iui « “inn to marry; good looking. Intelligent and wealthy—what more could you auk?” "You forget that I do not love him that he does not love me." "Love! tush! Itan't let mo hear any thing about that. I loathe the name. Margie, love ruined my only son’ For love be disobeyed me and I disowned him. I have not spoken bis name for years! Your father approved of Mr. Lin mere, and while you were yet a child you were betrothed. And when ; your father died, what did you prom ise him on his deathbed?” Margie grew white aa the ribbons ai her throat. ”1 promised him that 1 would try and fulltl his requirements." "That you would try! Yea. Au< that was equal to giving an unqualinsi assent. You know the conditions o j ths will, I beltevs?" i i “I do. If l marry without your eon • 1 ssnt under the age of twenty one, r forfeit my patrimony And I am nine weg now.

To tell the truth, he was sadly In need of money. It was fortunate that his old friend, Mr. Harrison, Margie’s dead father, had taken It Into his head to plight his daughter's troth to him while she was yet a child. Mr. Harrison had been an eccentric man, and from the fact that In many points of reli gious belief he and Mr. Paul Llnmer* agreed (for both were miserable skep tics), he valued him above all other men, and thought his daughter's hap piness would be secured by the union he had planned. Lin mere had been abroad several years, and he had led a very reckless, dissipated life. Luxurious by uature, lucking In moral rectitude, and having wealth at his command, he Indulged himself unrestrained, and when at last he l*ft the gay French capital and re turned to America, bis whole fortune, with the exception of a few thousands, was dissipated. So he needed a rich wife sorely, and was not disposed to defer his happiness. He met Margie with empressement, and bowed his tall head to kiss the white hand she extended to him. She drew It away coldly- something about the man made her shrink from him. "I am so happy to meet you again, Margie, and after ten years of separa tion! I have thought so much and so often of you.” “Thunk you, Mr. Llnmere.” “Will you not call me Paul?" hs asked, in a summon voire, mum* dangerous eyes, full of light and soft ness, rest on her. An expression of haughty surprise swept her face. She drew beek u pace. "I am not accustomed to address gen tlemen—mere acquaintances—by their Christian names, sir.” "But In this case, Margie? Surely the relations existing between us will admit of such a familiarity,” he said, seating himself, while she remained standing coldly by. "There are no relations existing be tween us at present, Mr. Llnmere/’ sbe unswered haughtily; "and If, In obe dience to the wishes of the dead, we should ever become connected In name, I beg leave to assure you In the begin ning that you will always be Mr. Lln mere to me," ..«*■ * «*• A flush of anger mounted to his cheek; he set his teeth, but outwardly he was calm and subdued. Anger, Just at present, was Impolitic. "I hope to win your love, Margie; I trust I shall," he answered, sadly enough to have aroused almost any woman's pity; but some subtle Instinct told Margie he was false to the core. But all through the evening he was afTable and complaisant and forbearing. She made no attempt to conceal her dislike for him. Concealments were not familiar to Margie's nature. She was frank and open as the day. Mr. Llnmere’s fascinations were many and varied. Ho bad a great deal of adaptation, and made himself agree able to every ono. He had traveled ex tensively, was a close observer, and had a retentive memory, Mr. Trevlyn was charmed with him. So was Alex andrine lAie, a friend of Margie’s, a rival belle, who accidentally (7) dropped in to spend the evening. Mr. Llnmere played and sang with exquisite taBte and skill—he was a com plete master of the art, and, In spite of herself, Margie listened to him with a delight that was almost fascination, but which subsided the moment the melody ceased. (TO HB COSTlSUm*.! THIEVES AT THE OPERA. Immacnlntelr Dressed and Attended by Beautiful Women. "Strange as It may seem," said one of Chief O’Brien's new detectives, as ho lounged against a pillar In front of the Metropolitan opera house, talking to a New York Herald man. "New York thieves of the higher class have a weak ness for grand opera, both for buidness and pleasure. You doubtless remember when Inspector McLaughlin walked down the aisle two years ago and tapped a woman on the shoulder She was a notorious thief and she followed him without a word. Since then sev eral thieves have been arrested in the lobby and around the eutrance and sev eral have even got isist us ami have sat out the performance, lomk at this.

The King, however, thought It no laughing matter, for here wna a fellow that could Wick a fellow ovor hla palace, If he hnpiiened to get In a rage; nnd what In the world could they find for till* great clnmay tnon ■ter to doY So he called all tho wlae men In the kingdom, ami they aat In the council-hall and looked very aol omn for aeven day*, hut wild never a word. At the end of that time the I'rlliceaa, the KIng'M daughter, who wna exceed ingly willy, came tripping Into the hall, “La!" aald alie, "what a great funa yon tiiuke over nothing! 1 can Kettle the matter. I waul a page In huftouM and lm Ik preelaoly thu proper peraon. t will take him Into my aervlce,” "Kxaetly!" anId nil the wine men al together. "That Ik Juki what we were going to propone when her I loyal lllgli neaa took the worda out of our moulh;" alihough nobody but aiich a foollah girl aa the l’rlueeaa would ever have thought of making a giant twen ty tire feet high a page In Lmttoiia. The King, however, could ace no other way out of the difficulty; ao he aent for a tailor, and the tailor, reat Ing a Inflder upon tile glullt'a ahoulder, went, upon it and took hla menaurc, it required many yarda of cloth, yon may lie aurc, to make a atilt for thla I aatoulahed page, and a whole cartload of but Iona; for you aee they had Imt tone on all the aeutga and nil over the | mill nfi hlw <>ti n it ini hIi>(>vi>n Mild they would have hud one on Ids nose, l I believe, If they eoidtl have sewed ' one mt. When the suit wiih finished, the glulit, who wiih very stupid, us most Killlils lire, thought, however, flint lie hnil never looked so well In Ids life; and his slllv mlstr<;ss being yery vmIii of ii pnge t wcn'ty-flve focf high, took til in with her when she railed on the other ladles of rnnlt who Wi re her nelghhors; mid these Indies, thinking tlyit they Imd never seen anything so ridiculous, giggled behind their finis, while they pretended to admire him and said: “Dear Princess, we really j envy you. There never was anything so line us your pnge.” At lust one of the Indies, more mu llelous than the rest, said to the Prln ress:—"Now that you have your puge, you have all Hist a Princess can pos slbly require, with the exception of one thing." "What Is that?” asked the Princess. | "You should get the King, your fa* I her, to make a law." replied Hie lady, "that no one except the l-ady High Fiddlestick, the Dame of the Slippers, and the Queen, your mother, shall touch so much as your hand on pain of Instunt death. You are too great « Princess to be approached like a 3omirion mortal. "Why, so 1 am," said the Princess, ! "though I never thought of that ls* fore.” At home she posted to urge the King to pass this admirable law, without which she was fully persuaded she Could no longer exist. The King and his Court, having nothing better to do, wore quite reudy to gratify her; there fore a decree was posted on ull the * trees and fences making It high trea son for any one hut the Queen, the I-ady High Fiddlesticks and the Dame of Slippers to touch even the Prin cess'* band under any circumstances. The Princess now thought herself the grandest and happiest of human be ings; and though every one was laugh ing at her simplicity, it made no differ ence lo her, since she heard nothing oi It. Now tbs Princess had a habit of walking out every umrulpg. followed by her huge page In buttons; and one hue day. coming to a great j quaking bog. the princess grew very j curious to see what was ou the other tide of it. "But your royal highness can’t cross It." suid the giant; "you will sink." "A common person might sink." said the princess, illsduliirully; "i>ut a prin cess can't sink, especially In her mvn territory. This laud belongs to me, ami should know its duty better than to let me sink,” ‘•Ob, of course," said the giant; for even ills stupidity was not quite sure whether the hog would make the dis tinction between a princess anil a peas nut girl; aud after a step or two he Maid. "Iloyal mistress, don't you think you had hotter let me carry you over? Vou will get your slippers muddy." "Not for the world," cried the prin cess, much shocked. "Have you for gotten that It Is high treason to touch me?" Ho, holding up her trail and trying to keep her slippers on, she Is-gitu to pick her way across; hut tlrst she tore her gowu aud then site lost oue *tlp|s-r and then the other, sml then she stuck fust.
