when he took the old letter from his hat to
not notice what it was, ! and even when
that partly burned half had been exhibit
ed in court he had entirely forgotten that
he had torn off the other half and put it

The letter had been found in Ambold s
pocketbook, and he had kept it, because
in it the youth was warned against his in
fluence.
He confessed that he had a slight idea
of calling the writer to an account when
it should become CONVENIENT. Withregard
to the knife Sit was as before stated. He
took that also from Aniboh' s pocket and
put it in his own, and on the night of the
fire he used it to pry up the sash, and
when he had broken it he put it back in
his pocket and forgot it.
Thus was Charley saved-and saved
from more than an ignominious death,
too. He was saved to be noble, virtuous
man, and his mother once more took am

care of her only child.
When Charles Ambold knew that Moul-
ton Warren had expiated his crimes upon
the gallows he sat down and pondered
upon his past life. The thought of his
old companion being hanged sent strange
thrill through his frame. But he was able
to trace out, clearly and logically, this
terrible result from the course of life the
Inflated man had pursued. He shuddered
as he remembered how far he had gone in
the same course himself; and he was able
