25 FATE'S REVENGE
By MRS. ALICE P. CARRISTON
Author of "A Waif from the Sea," "Her Brightest Hope,
Wayward Wlnnefred," etc.
CHAPTEll IV (Continued.)
And now nearly four yean had pass
ed since the troublesome events, and the
Courtlandt family, accompanied by Lu
clan's widowed mother, were on. their
way back to their native land.
Sylphide had opposed this atep as long
as she dared, and had only given in at
last through fear of arousing her hus
band's suspicions.
Between the two ladles no sympathy
and no confidence had existed from the
first of their acquaintance; by tacit agree
ment they seemed to be antagonists from
the day they met. The haughty old lady
regarded her beautiful daughter-in-law
with a suspicious eye, nor wss Sylphide
for an Instant unconscious of the espion
age. When the child was born, the elder
Mrs. Courtlandt appeared to claim it
as her own; for some reason, which she
was powerless to explain, she always
shuddered whenever she saw the band
some boy in his mother's arms.
"She'd like to rob me of him, Syl
phide often thought, bitterly; "proud,
old creature, I hate her more than she
hates me!"
Under the circumstances, it was use
less to attempt to induce Sylphide to go
to Mrs. Courtlandt's home upon the Hud
son, when they arrived in New York.
She was resolute upon that point She
would go to a hotel with ber husband
and child until a suitable home was se
cured for them; she would not be the
guest of Mrs. Courtlandt!
So It was arranged that Mrs. Court
landt should go at once to her country
seat, accompanied by her son, while Syl
phide, with her 3-year-old Leon, and Di
ana, went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
await her husband's return. A handsome
suite of rooms was engsged, and the
party were made as comfortable as
wealth could make them.
The only actual cloud upon Sylphide's
arrival In America was the fact that the
first night would have to be passed with
out her husband.
As the twilight bonr begsn to approach
she grew more and more lonely and rest
less. Gsxing into the busy Squsre fail
ed to amuse her, and when Diana sug
gested that she should go down to the
public dining room for dinner as di
version, Sylphide felt the cold perspira
tion of apprehension start out at every
pore, and she curtly commanded her
maid to order dinner in their private par
lor.
When the cheery gaslight dispelled the
gloom, the young wife and mother be
came more cheerful, and taking her boy
upon her knee, she sang him a sprightly
Creole song, that she had not thought of
in four long years, until the child laugh
ed soil clapped bio tiny hands Id afee.
Suddenly Sylphide psased, with a song
upon her lips, as an authoritative knock
sounded upon the door. Obeying a sud
den impulse, she sprang to her feet, hand
ed the child to Diana, and answered the
summons herself.
A hall boy stood before her In the
lighted hall with a visiting card upon a
silver salver. Sylphide did not hear him
ask whether she were Mrs. Lucisn Court
landt; she picked on ti card and glanc
ed at the name Inscribed thereon.
In sn Instant every drop of blood in her
body fled with a sickening rush to her
heart; but, though she turned as pallid
as the dead, abe uttered no cry, and did
not . stagger.
"Ask the person to wsit In the public
parlor," she said, with a supreme effort;
and closing the door, she passed swiftly
into her dressing room.
CHAPTER V.
The nsme Inscribed upon the card,
which Sylphide tore into little bits and
cast Into the open grate the moment ahs
had escaped the curious eyes of Disns,
wss the nsme of Oscsr Couramont. Had
she been slone, she might have quailed.
But she had a secret to conceal even
from the mulatto, faithful as she wss.
Therefore, when Disna called to ber to
know what had happened, Sylphide an
swered with enforced calmness;
"Only a messenger from my husband. I
am going to him in a moment."
Meanwhile she was touching her pal
lid, haggard checks with rouge. Thanks
to this snd the tiger heart in her bosom,
there wss no pallor and no sign of ter
ror upon her beautiful face, as she swept
slowly down the grand staircsse, crossed
the spacious ball snd entered the splen
did suite of parlors. A hand rained the
silken drapery that hung in the srehwsy
Vfore which Sylphide stood, end like a
Cash ber antagonist stood before her.
At tight of blm she recoiled, snd ut
tered a stifled cry. Was this revolting
wretch before her her cousin, the hsnd-
some Oscsr Cotiramont? Was it pons!
Lie that four years could have worked
such an appalling change In any human
being;
It, was a wonder that the attendants
lmiow stairs had permitted such a dls
reputable object to mount the stsirs and
run the risk of terrifying the ladies be
might chsnce to meet
Sylphide, In sll her pride and beauty,
wss horror stricken, and stood speechless.
Coursmont wss the first to speak. With
mocking obelssnce and a remnsnt of
the old, ssresstie smile, fie ssld:
"I see you recognise me In spite of the
change In me. Since it Is your work.
how do you like It? Ton have brought
me to the verge of poverty and starva
tlon."
ir
"Tea, yon! Had yon remained abroad
another month, I should have worked my
nasssge out and come to you to demand
my rights. I'm tired of this sort of
thing. You are my debtor for keeping
mum about that secret of your birth,
nd I want the matter settled up.
A grsylsh pallor, which the rouge but
erred to sccentuate, settled upon the
young wife's face, aa she fsltsred, with
a violent struggle at self command
"What do you demand T"
"Whst I demsnaen tour years ago,
come next October; and I want to have
the thing arranged bere and new, fur U
six months every cent of your property
likely to be wiped out by this war
that ia going on."
You still seek one-half of my proper
ty r
I want my half!" waa the dogged re
tort.
It la no longer in my power to part
with It."
"Why not?"
"I have a son and heir."
"You have a son!" he sneered; "so I've
been told. Well, for his sake, then, you
had better comply with my wishes."
"I refuse!"
"So be It! Besr In mind that It la yon
who have declared war. Whatever hap
pens, you are alone responsible. I'm a
desperate man, Sylphide Couramont, and
I'm alck of your trifling.
The cutting manner In which he pro
nounced her maiden name struck Syl
phide more powerfully than all his moods.
She waa dased, wondering what he could
mean, dreading to seek an explanation.
When she came to herself she found that
group of ladies and gentlemen had
entered the apartment, and that Oscar
Couramont had vanished. She braced
herself, and then sped wildly out into the
brilliantly illuminated corridor.
All about ber the guests of the hotel
were leaving the dining hall, laughing
and chatting gaily. Into every face ahe
encountered she stared, as though bereft
of her senses. She even dscended the
remaining flight of stairs to the rotunda,
only to be driven back in very ahame
by the crowd of men ahe met.
Her only thought waa that she had
lost him, lost her only hope of salvation.
Too late she became convinced that he
waa desperate, aa he had said, and would
do heaven only knew what She dared
not think.
With lagging steps, clinging to the
stair rail for support, she dragged hei
weary way up to her rooms. Outside the
door she paused a moment to summon up
a glimmer of courage and a wan mock
ery of a smile. Then she csutiousiy
turned the knob and opened the door.
The lights hsd been turned low. Little
Leon hsd been Isid among the pillowa
upon the bed, and Diana slept the sleep
of the just and weary, in her chair be
fore the fire. With a low wall, that
aeemed wrung from a bleeding heart, the
wretched woman flung herself upon her
knees beside the bed, clasped the sleep
ing ehlld In her arms, and rained pas
sionate kisses upon his soft, Bsxen carls.
"Oh, my boy, my boy, my boy!" she
sobbed, "thsnk heaven, you are not old
enough to guess your mother's woe!"
"Oh, mother In heaven, darling mother,
hear me! strengthen and comfort me!
lin not listened to the tongue of evil
gossip, yet the cross is heavy to bear.
Shield me, guard me, for I am alone and
in danger. Save me the love of husband
and child; 'tis all I ask!"
In the chill gray of early dawn, Diana
came to her and toucher her ahoulder.
"Miasy Sylph, Missy Sylph!" cried the
faithful creature, "get up and go to bed!"
Sylphide rose slowly and painfully.
Pressing her hands upon her schiug eyes,
she said:
I must have slept, Diana; I need no
more, bee, 'tis morning! I had better
dress for the dsy."
At ten o clock a telegram was handed
her from her husband. Eagerly she
opened It and reed its cheery contents:
Have beard of a lovely residence near
Yonkera. Shall go to see it before re
turning to yon. Love to you and kisses
for the boy."
Hesvens, bow she kissed that scrap of
senseless psper! Te the poor, agonized
soul it seemed like a ray of vivifying
sunlight let In upon her dungeon keep.
r rom the moment of its receipt she
brightened op. She fsncied she felt a
strong arm encircling her and supporting
ber.
Diana asked permission to tske little
Leon for a stroll in the squsre, snd was
resdily permitted to do so. When left
alone, poor Sylphide went to her trunks,
drew forth their contents and made se
lection of the costume which hsd been
m(nt praiw-d by her husbsnd in the hap
py days beyond the sea. It wss a won
derful and beautiful confection of dell
cate violet silk and rich old Ivory-tinted
laces thst set off her marvelous brunette
besuty to perfection. She sdded a spray
of lovely pink roM-s to ber bosom, and
the faultless toilette wss complete,
With Just the slightest bit of coquetry
she glanced st her enchanting reflection
In the mirror when all was complete,
and seated herself In the embrasure of
a window that overlooked the square to
watch for her child and await the ar
rival of her husband.
Suddenly she beard the door of the
room open and clone. She sprang to her
feet with parted Hps, snd outstretched
hsnds, a glad, expectant smile quivering
upon every festure. The smile vsnlshed
instantly as she ssw, atandlng In the cen
ter of the apartment, not her clUld, not
her husband, but the proud, ststely worn
sn whom the world regarded as ber moth
er In-law.
Attired In rich, trailing garments of
uncompromising black, the elder Mrs.
Courtlandt formed a startling contrast to
the younger. She bowed coldly In ac
knowledging the chslr which Sylphide ad
vanced, and aested herself.
"You are doubtless surprised to see
me bere," she aald, stiffly.
Sylphide bowed, and ssld In answer:
"May I know to what I owe the honor
of this risltr
"To a pslnful duty," wss the curt re
sponse. "Shall I spesk plslnlyT
"If you please."
Then csme the blighting words more
cruel than death:
"I have come for my son's child!"
turned she
said:
"I beg your pardon, I must have mis
understood you. You seem to have left
my interest in the boy out of the ques
tion, madam."
1 said sdvliiedly my sou's child!"
csme the rigid response. "Naturally you
are hi mother, I suppose, but so, un
fortunately, any claima you may lay
upon him -will be vastly to his detriment.
must perslat in calling him my son s
child and entirely Ignore you In the matter."
"Madam!"
Had the haughty old lady possessed
the merest taint of cowardice in her
heart she must have been appalled by the
silent exhibition of desperate, quivering
wrath that was presented to her view.
Feeling that the ominous silence thst
ensued waa valuable time lost, Mrs.
Courtlandt aald:
I am not in the least surprised at
your display of Impotent rage at finding
yourself baffled at last; I anticipated it
and have come prepared to parry it."
"Stop where you are! Can you be so
obtuse aa not to learn that you are both
insulting a wife and outraging a mother?"
"And can you be so witless as to flat
ter yourself that, sooner or later, your
destiny would not fiud you out and hunt
you downr ,
My destiny, madam! What do yoa
mean V
"That tainted blood Bows In your
veins, that you are a slave, that yoa
have juggled my son Into believing that
he waa marrying his equal in station, and
nave borne mm an innocent cuild to a
heritage of woe!"
She rose as she spoke, and, as if crush
ed by this avalanche of horror, Sylphide
recoiled to a aofa and rank upon It, cov
ering her face with her hands. . Making
the most of the advantage she had gain
ed, Mrs. Courtlandt continued:
I do not blame you for wishing to
marry and be a mother, Indeed, I feel
some pity for you, but I can never for
give you for having trapped a free-boru,
reputable family in your scheme."
She paused, and, without raising her
head, poor Sylphide murmured:
Who told you of this thing?"
I know not I received an anony
mo us communication this morning, stat
ing the facts and inclosing proofs that
your father, Col. Couramont, married
slave girl in Louisiana, and that you are
the offspring of that union. Whether
your father had married this half-breed
in good faith, or whether he had been
tricked, as my son haa been, the papers
do not show, and I know not
Have you those proofs with you?"
Sylphide demanded, in a tone out of
which all courage, all hope had depart
ed.
"No; they are at home, but shall be
at your dispossl whenever you desire to
examine them.
Sylphide shook ber head sadly and
clasped her hsnds In her lsp with a ges
ture of pitiful eloquence.
Well," she faltered, brokenly, "what
do you propose to do?"
"Adopt Leon."
A spasm of lntensest agony passed
over Sylphide's pallid face, but she com
mended herself, even granting that her
iudomitable spirit were not utterly
crushed.
"And must I part with my child?"
"For hie aake, yes."
"And whst Is to become of me?"
"You csn live like sn honorsble w6m
sn, as no doubt yoa are, barring your
culpable deception of my son.
And am 1 to be forever separated
from my boy?"
Since yoa oblige me to say it, ahe
answered, firmly, "yes forever."
"And never see him again?"
Mrs. Courtlsndt hesitated. Perhapa
her mother's heart was troubled by the
piteous appeal.

uno, one acre of such land In cultiva
tion being equal In value to 100 acres
of grain, and Mis Hall's farm has fif
teen acre of pine, with five of
bananas and 204 uncultivated acres.
There Is also no easier or more pleasant
work, particularly for a woman, than
pine farming. All she has to do Is to
order nor slips, select her land, hire
her help and superintend the planting.
Then she can rest for a year or two,
leaving nature to do It work. In
twenty-four months or less the fruit
will bo ready for the market It Is
not all play, but there Is seldom any
worry as to the successful marketing
of the crop; for the pineapple, coming,
as it does, when strawberries are pretty
well over and the peach crop not yet
at its holght, Is always heartily wel
comed.
The expense of putting the land un
der cultivation la comparatively small,
amounting to about $WW for the first
year, while each succeeding year bring
the cost down. If no help has to be
hired the expense can be reduced to
about $50 an acre, with an expendi
ture of about $20 more before the first
crop Is produced. The returns In the
case of Miss Hall's farm last year were
$1,000 an acre.
The cultivation of the land after the
crop has been set out Is a matter which
requires almost no attention. The only
danger la from the drought to which
the plnenpplo district of Florida 1 li
able and which occur between the time
of blooming and the time of ripening.
Sometime these drought are ot a
month's or six weeks' duration, with
a total rainfall of an Inch, and the
effects are serious. The pineapple leaf,
however, make It resist nt to drought,
onle It I broken, which happen very
early and cause the plant to lose It
moisture. Special care must be taken,
therefore. In all operations In the
groves not to bresk the leaves.
The harvesting of the pines requires
skill and care. In the first place, the
gatherer must know Just when to
pick the fruit The crates going by
freight by summer must lie filled with
fruit that la Just turning. Those go
ing earlier in the season, or to a short
er distance, may hold fruit quite well
colored. The gatherers wear leggings
which reach to the knees and canvas
mittens. They stand in rows, and aa
they break off the fruit by a dexterous
twist they toss It to the "second help-
era, who stand In the pathway lotween
the rows of pines. These "seconds,
as they are cnlled. stack the fruit up
carefully In pyramid rows, after which
It Is gathered and put in field crates
and baskets, to be taken to the pack
ing sheds, Here long tables cover the
four side of the room, and the workers
sort anil wrap the pines accordlug to
slxe and grade. There is no way of
measuring the fruit; It hns to be done
by guess, but In a few weeks a man
tiecom so skilled In selecting pines
of uniform slxe that the packers have
no trouble In filling the crates.
It Is In the groves that most care
must be taken, for a fine specimen can
tie ruined by lielng carelessly broken.
The gatherers are the most skilled of
the latNirera on a pineapple planta
tion and they receive the largest salaries.
