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

by our fashionable colleges.

"No, I will not go on. I-et the mem

He stooped and, lifting the border of

"If I live,” he said solemnly, "you

She did not purchase any laces. She
went out forgetful of her errand, and
Arch was so awkward for the remain

blunders, that his fellow clerks laughed
at him unrebuked, and Mr. Belgrade
seriously wondered If Trevlyn had not

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

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

ra have reamer hale need any dag ran
personal deformity; but Mr. Paul Lln
raere admired beauty, and liked to
have pretty things around him.
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.

" A FAIRY STORY,
' u
An Tntcmtlnu Murr by un Old Faab
lonnl Knllim
A certain giant being out at albowa
went to Court to And employment; and :
all the Court would have laughed at
him had they dared, ho cut Mich a |
queer figure with hla long beard nnd
hie great pipe that he wan forever
amoklng. 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

have thought of making a giant twen

they would have hud one on Ids nose, l
I believe, If they eoidtl have sewed '

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

you had hotter let me carry you over?

"Not for the world," cried the prin

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

push, the tireless grow wesry, tho ener
getic become enervated. You know Just
what w# mean. Home men and women

Tired
Feeling by great force of will. But this
la unsafe, a* It pulla powerfully upon tb#
nervous system, which will not long stand
sucb strain. Too many people “ work on

fortunate wrecks marked “nervous pros
tration,” In every direction. That tired
Feel

vitalised and vigorous, It impart* llfeand
energy to every nerve, organ and tlaeu*
of the body. The necessity of taking
