them was a mystery that he was mos
anxious to solve, Tbs story OF his EARL
llIe-that part which his memory couli
not Eecall-he longsd to know. He hat
tried every means at his command to OBJ
tain some light upon this question.
He had asked the Hqualid old woman
with whom he had passed all his remem
bered life, to tell him this story.
But all proved to no purpose. He fell
sure there was a deep plot connected witt
his early liie--R mystery surrounding It
so thick that 1t seemed to him he could II
no wise penetrate 1t,
And this thought gave the subject add,
tiopal interest-so much so that he found
himself hour after hour INDUCING in the
widest speculations upon the matter, a
he knocked about hither and thithal
among the rubbish Of great city,
But he was more than dreamer, more
than a Spectator upon the past, though
with him there were the strongest reasons
for such q tendency. Nevertheless, he
mad an eye to the future, for he possessed
a strong ambition, and degree oil intelli'
gence rarely seen in q boy Of his age.
His education, such as II was, had been
picked up in the busy streets OF New
York. He was older than his age, so long
had he been in contact with the world,
de had grown up literally between kicks
and cuffs, and deprived Of the love and
privileges that make boys life sweet and
uappy-Ehat make 1t worth living,
Almost all boys growing up amid such
surroundings would become coarse and
degraded; but 1t was not so with him. He
must have inherited from his parents,
whoever they were, tendency to good
behavior and manly conduct, Aud now
tho events OF this evening, the slur4 heap
edupon him by Perry, kindled anew his am,
bition and determination to makea break
in his present liie-to leave the old wo'
man and her filthy ragplcking forever.
But when he considered what fierce
storm this would RAISE, and how cruel she
and the gang about her could hs in mat.
Ter Of revenge, he hesitated, and tTembled
at the result that might follow,
Ture to his purpose, however, aud with
manly courage, he said, slowly and firmly,
