ignorant at first, there was nothing vicious
about him. Ho learned rapidly, and by
kind treetment and Christian training all
his ospabilities for good were drawn to the
surface.
He grew stouter and stronger, and was
soon as sturdy p, youth se Luke, to whom he
had attiched himself with the devotion of a
faithful deg.
Luke was rather headstrong andthought-
less, and these traits caused his parents
some uneasiness.
Tony," said Mr. Bender one day, "that
boy of mine ain't as steady as he might be.
I'm always afraid he'll get drowned or hurt
through his :rashness', I want you to keep a
sort of an eye upon him."
Tony eagerly promised to do so, and he
nobly kept his word in the fee° of trials
thet embittered his happiness and con-
tent.
Though Mr. Bender managed a good-
sized farm as well as the maw Mill, he. allow-
ed the boys many a half -holiday for fishing;
swimmiog, and other sports. Nor did they
lack companions, for Beaver creek -and es-
pecially the vicinity of the darn -was a
popular resort with the boys who lived -with-
in easy distance.
Thus Tony'altrials began, for these lads
objeoted to his. company. They ridiculed
him, called him names, and made insulting
allusions to his parentage. They did not
mean to be eruct, perhaps, but they had
often heard their father's speak contemptu-
ously of Mr. Bender's folly, and predict all
manner of evil destinies for Bill Marsh's
brat. So they wecn merely practising what
they learned at home.
For a time Luke reeented this and took
Tony's part, Then he became indifferent,
and finally he began to believe that what
the boys said was true -that Tony was a
disgrace, and a regular sneak, and that he
was playingithe hypocrite so as to feather
his nest Wel.
He grew ashamed of his adopted brother,
and wished that he had been allowed to go
to the poorhouse.
At home Luke treated Tony with well -
assumed kinduese and as the poor boy never
uttered a word of complaint, Mr. 'Bender
and his wife remained in ignorance of what
was going on: Had theyaknown the truth,
the consequences would certainly have been
unpleasant for Luke.
This was, just what Tony aimed most
urgently to' prevent. He did not want to
wound his benefactors by the knowledge of
their son's cruelty. How acutely the lad
suffered no one will ever know. He bore
everything with itolid endurance -his one
consolation the thought that he was true to
his promise, and that he was doing all in
hie power to repay the generous people who
had taken him into theiehome.
Tony was a hero. His devotion was no-
thing less than heroic. He was constantly
en the alert to keep Luke from harm. He
had too mnoh tact to play the part of a
monitor and offer advice. He wits rather
like a faithful hound-watehful and silent.
When Luke recklessly tried to swim the
whirlpool above the dam, and became ex-
haueted, Tony swam out'and aided hits to
shore.
When Luke was caught in a hornet'oneet,„
or chased by Grime' savage -hull, it wae
Tony who came to the rescue on both eon-
lien/3; Once Tony took a severe whipping
In silence from an,angry farmer whose oalf
had been shot full of arrows by Luke and
his mischievous companions.But all this
self-sacrifice and nobility Was lost on Luke.
He continued to wound Teny's faithful
heart by contempt and insult.

The little frame house up on the hill i
tenanted by strangers now, but to them an
to the farmers for miles around the story o
that memorable night is a firmly found°
bit of local history, and will go down t
tradition in the annals of the neighbor-
hood.
The story really begins three years previ
ous to the fire'when Mr. Bender adopted
and took intohis home a puny, half-starved
lad of twelve, whose bringing-up had been
about as bad as bad could. be.
It came about in this way. In a tumble-
down shanty, severedonilea up Beaver creek
lived Bill Marsh, the father of little Tony,1
He had always been a worthless "sort o
character, but when his wife died he wen
rapidly from bad to worse. For a long
time he supported himself by stealing, and
finally a series of audacious robberies led to
hie arrest and conviction.
'The neigbbors were well pleased when the
prison doors closed on Bill Marsh, atid,with
natural harshness, they at once took steps
to have little Tony placed in the ' county
poorhouse. They had no sympathy for the
orphaned lad, and predicted that he Was
sure to growlup like his father.
But there was one exception and this was
Hiram Bender. When he found that none
of the farmers could be induced to take thel
lad and try to make somethiug out of )him,
he determined to sot the ,',Gsood Saindritan
himself. 1
"1! the child has the seeds of evil in him,
they'll only sprout the f ter in suoh Rn in-
stitution as yours," he fe rlessly said to the
members of the Poor , Boer& "But ' he is'
tIl
too young to be thorongi ly bad. A decent

him forget,his old life. That's my opinion,
anyway, and I wo 11 see ' the poor boy go to

Tony's face became pale as ashes, and a
great lump Irose in his throat that made
speech impossible for an instant.
"Don't let thaA vagabond in,',' cried Luke,
angrily. "I'll tell father if you do,"
CHAPTER II.
For a moment Tony stood silent and
motionless. ' Then he called out, ia a husky
voice " can't open the door now. The
house is shut up for the night. You must
come some other time.
A sullen exclamation was heard; and the
door rattled savagely. Concluding that
panne/don would be of no avail,Tony's fath-
er now threw off the mask and openly avow-
ed his object. "If you boys don't let me
in you'll be sorry for it," he growled. "1
'want that Money, and if you hand it over
peaceably I won't do you any harm You
needn't try to fool me either. I know the
money's there, an' -I know Bender and his
wife ain't 'ut home."
Getting no reply, Bill Marsh changed his
tactics. 04 Help me to get that money,
Tony, he isleaded, "an' you an' me will

whaotnlif life-tie."
en'
Tyteed away from the door, and
glanced nt Luke with a startled but resolute
face. "[Don't be afraid," he said bitterly.
"I'm not the kind of chap you take me
for." '
"But he may break in and murder us
both," gasped Luke, who was trembling all
over.
For a monent there was silenoe outside.
Then a queer rasping noise was followed by
two startling sounds directly overhead -the
smash of broken glass and/ heavy footsteps.
The lade understood instantly what this
meant. The ruffian had gained the top of
the poreli by means of an overhanging tree,
and thence entered the room overathe kitoh-
en. In a moment he would be downstairs.
Luke was frantic with terror, and, think-
ing only of escape, he made a dash for the
outer door. But Tony caught him and
swung him back. "The money 1" he cried.
We promised to guard it. Help me with
this table, quick !"
Luke was shamed into obedience, and by
their joint strength the boys soon pushed
.the heavy piece. of furnitnre against the
staircase door. Then Tony grabbed the
lantern and ran into the next room, with
Luke at his heele. It was the work of an
instant to unlock the desk and seise the
money, Then bag in hand, Tony rushed
through the hall to the front door,and drew
the bottle As the frightened boys imam -
bled out into the dark road they heard their
enemy smashing ; his way noisily into the
kitchen. For a few seconds they did not
know which way to turn. The nearest
house was three quarters of a mile distant.

= Nearly three years went by, and finally
Mr. Bender decided to take a etep which he
had long held in contemplation; namely, to
remove to York and engage intlie lumber
trade. He was urged to this by different
feaSODS.
On the one hand he desired that the two
boys should have better advantages than
were possible in the country. On the other
hand,, sharp competition and the difficulty
of transporting lumber made the saw mill
far less lucrative thandt had been in the
past.
By economy and frugal living Mr. Bender
had laid away quite a snug sum in the York
bank, and therefore it was no raelt venture

Mr. Bender's request Was readily granted,
and instead of going to,the dreadful poor-
house Tony was taken into a home that -fair-
ly dazzled him by its contrast, to that miser-
able hovel up the ereek, where he had
known privation and- offering of every
kind.
Mrs. Bender was al motherly, sympathetic!
woman, and fully approved of what her
husband had done., The worthy couple had
a son of their own, but thin did not deter
them from carrying out their generous im-
palm.
Luke was just Tony's age, and at first he I
eagerly welcomed the presence of a com-
panion. That he did not continue in this
frame of mind was due entirely to outside
influences, which will be explained pres-
ently,
- The neglected little waif proved worthy
of the change in his fortunes. He had a
grateful heart, and was never happier than
when doing something for his benefactors.
He made himself useful in every possible
way.

the contents.
"-It is from sister Mary at Lisburn !" She
6xclaitned, in a tone of dismay. "She has
been taken sick, and wants me to come
over. What Ethan I do, Hiram ?"
"Go and see her of course," replied Mr.
Bender. '1 hope its nothing bad'. I'll
drive you over myself and come back in the
morning. I don't like to trust you with
that new horse -she's a little skittish."
"But, how about the money'?" said hie
wife. "Will it be safe in' the house over
night?"
Certainly it will. No one knows that I
have it."
Mr. Bender opened a desk that stood in
the corner of the room, and dropped the
bag inside. He looked the desk carefully,
and put the key in its usual hiding place
-behind a framed engraving that hung on
'the wall. •
"The money is in your charge now,
Tony," he said, half in jest, half in earnest,
"Guard it well, and take good care of Luke
while we are gone."
Mr. Bender had unconsciously fallen into
the habit cif treating his adopted son as the
-far more responsible of the two, and this
was an added gtound for discontent on
Luke's part. •
"You will find the money safe when, you
return," declared Tony. If robbers ' try
to break into the house we'll give them a
warm receptionwon't we, Luke 1",
"Robber. 1 'Nonsense 1" exclaimed Luke,

they ran along the race until the open front

ed on the floor below. Unerring instinct
had guided the ruffian to the spot.
Luke uttered a gasp of terror.
"Be quiet," aneiwered Tony. "He may
think we are not here,"
But this was a vain hope. A rasping
sound was followed by a blaze of yellow
light,' and there stood Bill Marsh at the foot
of the ladder -hole, with a burning match in

the red glare. He buttoned his jacket
tighter about the bag of mleney, and turned
to wave hie hand at IJuke.1 Then he drew
back a few pries, and fel. a brief interval
the curling smoke hid him from view. He
bounded forward, leapt deiperately from the
roof, and shot through the le, mpty air. With

There was no reply. Tony pressed his
hand'against Luke's mouth to denote sil-
ence.
The match that the ruffian was holding
burnt his fingers and, tossing it aside, he
scraped another. He need= nos have done
so, for the burning. fragment had fallen up-
on a heap of shavings and other inflammable
refuse, and instantly &little blaze leapt up.
Bill Marsh made a motion to stamp out the
flame, but suddenly -changed his mind.
"Iiv&got the drop on you fellers now,"
he snarled. "If you chuck the Money down
right away I'll tramp out the fire ; if you
don't, I'll let you burn up. I mean what I
say.",
Still no reply. With fast -beating hearts
the Ude watched the opread of the flames.
"Better thrown the bag down," whispered
Luite,
"Never !!" replied Tony. "1 promised to
guard the money. He won't dare burn the
mill down."
Whether the ruffian's threat was sincere
or not the boys never knew. That instant
a puff of wind fanned the fire into a hissing,
roaring blaze, and Bill Marsh vainly tried
to stamp it out. Then ' alarmed by what
he had done, he uttered' a volley of profan-
ity, and fled as fast no his legs would carry
him. His footateps echoed along the race
and faded in the distance.
. The boys had no time to feel elated at the
retreat of their enemy. A terrible death
etared them in the face, for already their
escape was out off. The mill was a verit-
able tinder box, and the corner where the
fire had started was one red blaze. The
flame" crackled furiously as they shot up
the pllankiug to the second floor. Dense
volumes of smqke, ruddy with sparks, pour-
ed through the ladder -hole, and drove the
boys away.

Lute was helpless with fear, and could
only groan and wring his hands. "We
must jump out the window," cried Tony,
" It's Our only °hence." He buttoned his
jocket over the bag of money, and, grasp-
ing Lnke by the arm, tried to drag him for-
ward.
There was but one window on the uppor
floor, end this was in the end of the build -

Lisburn. Lake uttered a howl of terror, and clung
frantically to his companion.' Even Tony
was staggered for an inetant, and fairly
lost hope. Then an idea flashed into hit
mind.
" We must out a hole in the other end of
the building and escape by the ladder," he
cried. "Get the hatchet out of that tool -
chest, quick 1"
The sharp command spurred Luke to
obedience, and meanwhile Tony cast hie
eyes shout the flame -lit room. There was
no time to cut through the side or end walls.
The roof was old and rotten' and offered the
best chence. Single-handedhe dragged the
ladder to the corner most remote from the
flames, and reared it in position.
There .was plenty of work to be done
about the farm, and the afternoon wore
quickly away. Luke was sullenly silent,
and Tony was careful to do or say nothing
that might lead to open hostilities. They
cooked and ate supper, and When it grew
dark they carefully fastened the doors and,
lower windows of the house,
They spent the evening in th big kitchen,
LAO morosely whittling at his arrows,while
Tony pored over a dog-eared h story of the
United States.
When the tall :old clock in the corner
struck nine, Luke nut down hie knife.
"I'm going , to bed," he announced.
"Keep on etudying, if you want to. .tou'll
need,all the learning you can get, for Done
day father will come to his senses and' turn
you out of doors,"
This cruel a speech brought the tears to
Tony's eyes, but ,before he could reply,
shuffling footsteps were heard on the back
porch, and then the door was softly taped.
The boys forgot all else but this unexpected
intrusion, and exchanged glances of alarm.
" Who's them?" demanded Tony in a loud
voice walking to the door.
-
" Don't you know your ole pap's voice
any more ?' came the instant reply, in
wheezy, whinieg tones. "1 just got out

"I.'11 do mylbest," muttered Tony. "You
moat look out for yourself till I get through

He nimbly ascended the ladder, and Luke
followed at hii heels, pale and trembling.
The next two or three minutes were full of
torment and suspense. Tony backed fierce-
