The Planter's Daughter 22 FATE'S REVENGE By MRS. ALICE P. CARR1ST0N ! Author of "A Waif from the Sea," "Her Brightest Hope," ' "Wayward Wlnnefred," etc. CHAPTER II. ! Summer was already upon the wane when Lucian Courttaudt arrived at Rose mont with letters of introduction to Col. Couramont Being a rising young law yer of promise, he had been Intrusted with aundry important claims of North ern capitalists. Much of the property fee was in search of lay along the shores of the Alabama river, and what more natural than that he should be well sup plied with letters of introduction to the leading planters and gentlemen or. innu ence in the vicinity? Foremost and most influential among these persons stood Col. Court mont, the descendant of an illustrious t rencn lam- lly, who, twenty years previous to the opening of our narration, had come from Louisiana with his year-old motherless daughter in his arms, and had purchas ed and had settled upon the grand es tate of Rosemont He was reputed to be fabulously wealthy, and certainly his course of life bore evidence that the supposition was correct. He held high state at the Hall, his beautiful daughter was educated by resident masters of ability, and was al ways attired in imported costumes. The colonel owned a colony of slaves to whom he was a kind and considerate master, was the very soul of hospitality to the occasional guests that sought the shelter of hi roof, and was accounted a happy man. His love for his beantiful daughter was the one absorbing passion of his life he loved and watched over her with jealous, almost fearful pride, which did not escape the comment of the humblest of his neighbors. To the outward world he was a proud and happy man, though it would have been evident to a close observer that his mind, for some mysterious reason, wss not at peace. It was evident that he dreaded to be left a moment alone, while the light that invariably burned in bis chamber at night had become a landmark to all belated wayfarers. Was he walk ing, thinking or reading, during those lonely night watches? In point of fact, Francois Couramont was not a happy man; he bore op brave ly for his daughter's sake, but as the years were added unto him, the lines of care were deepened npon his brow, and too often the morning sun shone into hsggard eyes. From this it may be in ferred that some secret sorrow or dread gnawed, day and night, at his heart that Francois Couramont was a haunted man. ' Paradoxical as It may appear, CoL Conrmmont rmthar aeouraawd to ad vanes of him scapegrace nepbaw, Oacar. The young man's dissipated habits were po secret to him, and yet he repeatedly assisted him when embarrassed, and took special pains to throw him into his daughter's company. Sylphide hated Os car Couramont from the first, and did everything in her power to ah an him when at Rosemont. "You seem to forget that Oacar la your cousin," the colonel gently remonstrated npon one occasion. I "I am trying to forget it as f aat as I can. was the impulsive rejoinder. "And yet I would be glad to see you friends," urged the father. "Your Influ ence mliht reform might save him. Could von love him ' SvlohMe cut him short with an impe rious gesture. She had drawn herself up to her full height, her blsck eyes flatbed fire, end her supple frame fairly quivered with the passion that at times waa ungovernable. "Love him!" she cried, furiously. "I hate him, hate him, do you hear? And If you love me, you will never again mention his Infamous name in my pres- "Remember your mother!" No need to utter the warning. To her dying day Sylphide never forgot his words. They sank deep into her very soul, filling her, at first, with awe; later, with apprehension and dismay. Thus matters stood at the period of Lucian Courtlandt's arrival at Rosemont From the moment that her eyes rested upon his frank, handsome face Sylphide Couramont'a fate was sealed. She loved him, body and soul, with that fierce in tensity which she had persuaded herself she inherited from her dead mother. And he? Could he be insensible to the admiration of those lovely eyes, to the love that spoke in every eloquent gesture, every attitude? He was flattered and fascinated; but he came of cooler, patri cian blood, and had seen considerable of the world In the social circles of New York. Fair women were no novelty to him, and, as he had seen none more fair than Sylphide Couramont, and had met few so wealthy, he well, he let events take their course. Be it said in his favor that he made no secret of his condition In life. He acknowledged that he was the scion of one of the most aristocratic fam ilies of the North; that his mother was a woman of boundlesa pride; that he was struggling along to win fame in the pro fession of the law npon a scanty income, leaving to his widowed mother the rem nants of a once ample fortune, that she might live in ease and affluence abroad, in Paris, where people knew not that she had once queened it in her native land. Sylphide Couramont asked no greater boon of heaven than to be able to place unlimited wealth at the feet of the man she loved, to tell him that he need strug gle no longer, that the delights of the world were at his command, provided she were at his side to witness his enjoy ment of them. Unconsciously the flattering prospect exerted its influence upon Lucian. Freely be gave himself up to the charm of his surroundings, and he awoke at last to the realization of the fact that he could not, in honor, leave the hospitable roof that had sheltered him for one happy month, aa he entered it. Ibis knowledge aid not wear npon him especially, nor cause him any sleep less nights. Sylphide was charming would be an ornament to his home, and after such complete relaxation from ing duty, the hum-drum existence of the past seemed far away and unpleasant to think of. Bealdea, he was free, could dispose of himself aa he chose, provided he suited the haughty tastes of hie am bitlou mather; and he made his mind my on that score, since Sylphide waa beantiful, nobly horn and fabulously wealthy. Consequently the way was paved for the scene that ensued npon the death of the colonel. They brought the unfortunate gentle man home to Rosemont on a litter made of fragrant fir boughs, Lucian going be fore the ssd cortege to prepare Sylphide for the catastrophe. She bore it bravely for the sufferers tike while the breath of life yet trem bled npon his lips, but when the spirit fled her grief knew no bounds, and, with a passionate wail she threw herself across the Inanimate form, crying: I am alone in the world! Who will care for me now?" It was Lucian Conrtlandt who raised her In his arms, comforted her, and, ac tuated by a sudden thrill of pity, assured her that henceforth he would be her faith. ful guardian if she wduld permit It. And from that moment Sylphide Couramont clung to the man she loved with the dea pc-rate tenacity of a drowning creature. With feverish haste she made the ar rangements for her marriage even while She The parchment was there, safe and sound; the ring wss upon her finger; she waa fairly married yet what meant thla distressing doubt that assailed her? She flung herself Into an easy chair before the toilet table and tell into a dispirited reverie. She woudercd whether her mother had any such strange. Inexplica ble misgivings upon her wedding uight; if she had, she pitied her. This was sHt the happiness she had dreamed of, sleep Ing; and foudly cherished, waiting! A passing step In the corridor smote her ear; she sprang to her feet aud dart ed to the door. Outside she fouud a ser vant hurrying along. "Where ( la Diana? Why Is she not here to assist me?" she demanded, impe riously; "send her to me at ouee! She closed the door and paused with out turning spell-bound, as It were. Her woman's instinct warned her that she was no longer the sole ocupnnt of the chamber; another presence beside her own waa there! The door that commu nicated with her dressing room, and by which her maid might have entered, had not been opened; the tlickeriug of the candles upon the toilet table betrayed the secret. The window upon the veran da had been opened and had afforded en trance to a man! Yes, a man; and what la more, she knew who It was without turning her head. Her hands. knotted convulsively as a single word escaped her tightly com pressed lips. You!" Yes I," came the prompt, defiant response in a low, narsn tone. How dare you force an entrance Into my chamber?" she cried. Oscar Couramont smiled coldly as he replied: "Softly I have forced no en trance here; the window was not even locked. Besides, I have been at liberty to come and go in this house aa I saw fit" "During my father'a life, yes; but am mistress here now!" "I do not see that that fact alters the case so far as I am concerned." "My husband shall answer that point!" she cried, indignantly, and turned to wards the door, when a word of com mand arrested her. "Stop! Where are you going?" "To summon my husband." "Does be carry hla firearms about him?" With a thrill of horror, Sylphide called the fact that, contrary to the cus tom of the time in the South, Lucian went unarmed and persisted In doing so, In spite of all remonstrance. "I infer from your hesitation," contln ued Couramont, coolly, "that the man you call husband doea not carry a re volver. But I do. Look at that!" And with a smart rap he placed, a revolver on the corner of the toilet table. Sylphide stared in baleful fascination at the shining toy. "What would you do?" she gasped. "Blow bis brains out if he sets foot In this room. I'm a desd shot, aa you know. Lock both those doors, and sit down there and listen to what I have te say to you."
