like the idea OF having him go to New York
by the early train.
He knew nothing about Peach's family or
social relations, but it was probable that he
had father and mother, or near friends, who
might miss him if he left Boston. If he
went to the great metropolis with Lon
Blinker, he was sure to become an irreclaim-
able rogue. 1t was better that neither Lon
nor Peach should leave by the five o'clock
train. But how could he prevent their 60
ing?
Bryan did not care to meet Lon in the
store, for that would unvei the mystery
which perplexed the villains. Such a meet
ing would be sure to, bring on battle, his
opponent being provided with revolver,
while he was unarmed Then it occurred
to him that Morl had a revolver, for which
he had no present use, and could spare it
Just as we'll as not.
The young watchman raised himself in his
box, after slipping the lid upon the next
pile of cases. Without any difficulty, and
without any noise. he made his way to the
floor, and removed the three cases on the
top of the one that contained the insensible
burglar. He felt of his pockets, and in the
one on the right hip he found the revolver.
He took possession of it, and bestowed it in

Beyond the hilltops of Long Ago,
In the purple mountains of Truth,
| look Ger the years through vista know,
To the beautiful valley of Youth.
And l smiled on the scenes SO happy and free,
And the wonderful times that | had,
When shirt and pants, in that Used-to-Be,
Was the rig of an outdoor lad.
That mother-kiss on freckled face
A face that was joyously brown;
Then the dusty walk to the "learnin' place."
A mile and a half out of town.
How held my recess apple tight;
And as / scanned it with wishful eyes,
Something kept telling me, Take a bite,
And diminish its rotund size"
And during the long school hours, then,
I'd keep taking Gust one bite more;"
And by recess-time, at hal-past ten,
Thered be nothing left but the core.
And man with toil-worn hands appears
From that vista that sparkles so,
Who has eaten the fruit of some bitter years.
But he treasures the cores-I know.

got rid of themselves in any other way;
What is to be done now, Lon?" asked
Peach.
Nothing can be done. We can't finish
the job without Morl, and we may as well
crawl out at the back door and take our
selves out of the way before a policeman
pokes his nose into the store. Put out the
lights before they get us into troubled" said
Lon, gruffly.
''But what am I to do? OF course the
whole thing will be blown tomorrow, if not
before" said Peach, very anxiously.

for any of us after this. We haven't made
a red cent out if this operation, but we shall

said Peach.
IF Morl had found the spooney there
would have been row at once. The noises
we heard twice must have had something to
do with the boys escape" reasoned Lon.
But we didn't hear the last noise until some
little time after Morl had gone to the front
of the store"
"That's true" replied the burglar; ''but
if he or the spooney had got hurt in fight
or in any other way, we should have found
him after he dropped. OF course nothing of
that kind could have happened"
And the idea seemed to be too absurd to
be entertained.

Bryan thought, from the sound of his voice,
that Peach was going to cry. He had certain

and had made nothing at all by it. If caught,
as his companion in iniquty had suggested,
he was likely to spend some years in the
State Prison.

could do was to lie still and see what would

He heard the pair of searchers walk about
near him. Judging by the sound of their
steps, they went into the vault under the
sidewalk.
No indication came to the listener that
they were disturbing any of the gods or the
cases. They appeared to be using only their
eyes.
"He is not down here" said Peach, when
they had apparently concluded the search.
