CHAPTER Y.
THIS ARREST.

The tableaux was n striking one.
Mrs. Arnold held up both hands in hor
ror; Halle stood triumphant with hel
bracelet in one hand, and the finger of
scorn pointed at Helen, who sank be.
fore her awful accusation.
Mr.. Arnold alone, of all, was calm
and unmovCd He knew his duty as a
good citizen in such cases, and allowed
no foolish emotions to come between
himself and that duty.
Little Amos, who had only partially
realized what had happened, and yet
knew it was something terrible, burst
into tears. Mr.. Arnold, with features
as imperturbablc us stone, walked to-
ward the boy and. laying hand So
heavy upon his shoulders as to almost
bend the little body double, said
See here, sir. we want none of that
noise. do you understand me now? you
just hush that up"
ooh, sister sister is dead" sobbcd
the child.
"No, she is not. She will recover
soon enough; now you must keep
quiet" Turning to his wife, who stood
in n stupctird manner at the door. her
face turned upward, he added: you
had better look now and see what else
is gone. We don't know but half the
silvcrwarc is stolen"
"Oh, sister, sister" cried the little
boy. sobbing and holding his out
stretched hands toward the inscnsiblc
Helen.
Had l not better do something to
restore her?" asked Mrs. Arnold. who
was really agitated.
mo, she will recover soon enough
all that is put on"
''Let me sprinkle a little water in
her face P"
Hunt your silver spoons" cried Mr..
Arnold. land let her alone! I'll war
rant she'll recover all right"
The suggestion to sprinkle some
water in her face seemed to strike the
boy favorably. and he began to strug-
gle from the chair in which he was sit
ting. Either the excitement or partial
paralysis of his limbs caused him to fall
from the chair to the floor.
"Oh my back l have hurt my back, u
cried the little cripple. No one seemed
10 care if he had, though the child cried
out with the most intense agony.
Mrs. Arnold was rumaging through
her silverware Us though she was not
certain it was all there, and little Amos
struggled to his feet, and by holding tc
chairs reached pitcher containing
some water, and dashed the contents il
his sisters face.
"Sister! sister!'' he cried, most pit
fully, "come to yourself again. won

twelve knights completed the roll. It
now consists of the sovereign and six
teen members; st. Andrew is it's patron

ribbon is dark green. The Knights of
this order are invariably Scotchmen.

CHAPTER II.

Helen sat like one stupeficd while the
warrant was read. The voice of the
sheriff quivered, for his honest heart
told him the girl was not guilty, and
then, when he looked ut the wrctched
child on her lap and from the faces
of each read their suffering, he men,
tally exclaimed:
II swear the girl can't be blamed if
she did steal it,
Little Amos looked inquiringly into
his sisters pale, stone-like face Mt the
conclusion of the reading of the war;
rant, as if to ask what it all meant.
Helen was silent-stunned-a
she had been all morning preparing for
the blow. The sheriff carefully folded
the document and thrust it into his side
pocket, and sat in silence, rs though
he hardly knew what to do next.
Helen at last turned her awfully white
face upon him. He shrank like guilty
person before that stony gaze. Next
she turned her face upon Judge Arnold,
who stood in the doorway. Arnold
struggled with all the power he pos
scssed to meet her stare, but was COM
PEELED to cover before the gaze of in
/ jurcd innocence. At length her lips
moved, and her voice was so hollow as
to startle Arnold.
''Do you believe that am guilty of
that charger" she asked.
Arnold was for a moment confused.
He was afraid to risk his voice to say
he did, lest his tongue might fail to
speak, and yet he dare not say he be-
lieved her innocent. He had sworn
out the warrant and must believe what
it stated.
Il have no conversation for you"
he said, elevating his chin in the air.
''you are now in the sheriff's hands,
! and Your case is beyond my control ~

miles on his way with his heavy pack,
trudging along the road. Pete had
promised to befriend her-would he do
ftp
Most of all, she thought of Warren.
Would he sneer at his avowed love for
her when he heard of her disgrace.
Somehow the bitterest pang she felt
was that Warren would hear of her
fall. The future was dark-black. She
knew whittier Mr.. Arnold had gone.
He would return in three or four hours
with the sheriff and a warrant for her
self.
Little Amos slept on, his last sleep
in his sisters arms. Helen could not
disturb him, and when his hacking
cough seemed likely to arouse him, she
gently rocked him in her arms. "Poor
little fellow, sleep while you can, sleep
while you can," she said, sadly. At
last, after Il time that seemed short to
Helen, she heard the rockaway of Mr..
Arnold drive up to the front gate, and,
looking out at the window, saw that
gentleman and large, dark-whiskered
man get out. The dark-whiskered man
was the sheriff. Mr.. Joe Belcher.
Come right in," said Mr.. Arnold,
who seemed to have a disagreeable
matter in hand, which he wished to dis
pose of at once.
Little Amos stirred uneasily, as
though he was receiving a warning in
his sleep of what was to come. Helen
awoke him gently.
"Wake up, little brother, they have
come"
"Who ?'' asked the feverish boy 81
don't want nobody to come"
But the heavy tread of feet in the
hall awed the little fellow to silence
again. The key was turned, the door
opened and Mr.. Arnold conducted the
sheriff into the kitchen and, pointing to
Helen, said:
There's the thief"
The sheriff then drew chair up to
her side and, drawing a legal looking
document from the breast pocket of his
coat, began to read:
"State of - and County of -.
One, James Arnold, makes oath and
says, etc, etc, that one, Helen Lake
man, late of said county, did, on the
fifteenth day of June, IS, at said
county. then and there being, one gold
bracelet of the goods and chattels of
Miss Halle Arnold, then and there
being, of the value of twenty dollars,
did then and there, with force and
arms, knowingly, willfully and feloni-
ously steal, take and carry away,
against the dignity of the State. These
are to command you, etc, etc."
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-01-22

"WHY DON'T YOU TAKE HER AWAY"
"Oh, God, that 1 had only kept beyond
your control!' cried Helen, breaking
down at last and sobbing violently.
''To be robbed by you of our home, and
every thing that would have made
myself and this poor afflicted child
comfortable, and then because I asked
shelter for one night under your roof,
to have yourself or your family seek my
ruin in this way-oh, God, help me |!
ere I get beyond the power of forgiv-
ing" With last wall, Helen threw
herself forward and bowed her head
upon table near by.
Don't cry, sister, DON'T" sobbed the
little cripple, while the tears rolled
down his cheeks, ''they shan't hurt
you. God won't let 'em hurt YOU"
The sheriff, frown on his brow, for
this was a perplexing case, arose and
began walking the kitchen floor. He

PITIFULLY.
All the iron in Mr.. Arnold's nature
could not keep little Amos from she'd
ding tears over his sister.
Helen began to revive. She started
up in dazed sort of way, unnoticed
and uncared for by any one save her
crippled brother. She made an effort
to rise to her feet, and, finding her head
dizzy, sank down in chair and placing
her arm around the back, laid her head
