25 FATE'S REVENGE
By MRS. AUCE P. CARRISTON
Author of "A Waif from the Se," 'Her Brightest Hope,"
"Wayward Winnefred," etc.
CHAPTER X. (Continued.)
In spite of care, trouble and privation
the lady bore the undeniable stamp of
baring once been a beauty, aud not very
many years ago either. She was tall
and slender, still graceful, and In every
movement a thorough lady. Her plain,
cheap attire could not conceal the fact
that she had not only seen better days,
but had kept that memory alive in her
heart, which is more than many, who
re forced to descend the ladder, are
wise enough to do.
With a wan smile that spoke of phy
sical weakness and repressed anxiety,
Mrs. Burgess crossed the kitchen to Mar
tha and placed the basket in the hands
of her faithful domestic.
"How is Miss Claire?" asked the
woman, eagerly.
"She seemd to be asleep when I looked
in upon her a moment ago," replied the
lady.
"Asleep at this hour!" exclaimed Mar
tha. "Then she must have been up wnt
lng again last night'"
"I fear ao," rejoined Mrs. Burgess,
inking wearily into a chair Decide the
able; "oh, Martha, Martha, what can
this journal contain that she keeps so
mysteriously to herself? I must know!'
"So you shall some day, be sure;" then
to turn her thoughts into another chan
nelfl Martha added, "but what does this
basket contain?"
"A few trifles for my husband's break
fast. Open it and see.
The good woman removed the lid of
the basket and started back in amaze
ment.
"Oh, what extravagance, ma'am!" she
cried; "however could you afford it?
"Don't scold me, Martha," answered
Mrs. Burgees, with wan smile; "it is so
long since my poor husbanud has had a
respectable repast. Men cannot bear
privation as we women can. Besides,
I wished to surprise him; it is his birth
day."
In burst of generous enthusiasm,
Martha caught her mistress' hand, and
was 'about to press it fervently to her lips
when she suddenly recoiled a step as she
exclaimed:
"Your ring, Mistress! Where is it?
The one with the pearl! your engage
ment ring! Have you sold H?" whis
pered Martha, with dismay depicted up
on every feature.
"No, it is only only pawned."
"Yes, as are your jewels, your silver,
your laces, everything even to the mat
tress off your bed! Oh, that miserable
pawnbroker "
"Hush, Martha," interrupted the lady;
"speak no ill of him, for he is the only
friend from whom one can borrow with
out a blush."
"' "And for whom V cried Marfha, for
getting her position in her indignation;
"for one who never asks what it has cost
you to raise the money, so kmg as he has
It to waster'
In an instant Mrs. Burgees was upon
faer feet, dignity breathing in every attitude.
eyes were wonderful in their alxe and
brilliancy, seeming to embody all the life
which, at her age, she should have wen
enjoying: At sight of her parents Bhe
paused a moment; then, advaucing a
step, exchumed:
"Why do you look so sad! Mother,
there are tears in your eyes!" And with
a deep-drawn sigh, she added: "Ah, I un
derstand; you were speaking of me."
"My dear child, we are going to save
you; lr. Greahaui has assured us that "
"Yea," interrupted Claire, "he told me
yesterday not to despair, but that is the
word they use when they cannot say
hope."
"What folly, Claire!" cried her father,
with a suspicious tremor in hia voice;
"why, my dear, I should have gone to the
dogs long ago, if I had uot kept a brave
heart in my breast. No, no; have cour
age; brighter days are in store for us."
"Do you think so, father?" he asked.
"I know so! Am ready to to swear it.
Hark! There is the bell ringing! Who
shall say that it is not Dame Fortune
at our door?"
And an instant later, Martha put her
head tn the door.
"A lady to see you!" she announced.
"A lady!" exclaimed Philip Burgess,
gaily; "what did I tell yon! Show her
In here, Martha."
And ere either Claire or her mother
could escape, the door was thrown open
to admit a lady, closely veiled.
CHAPTER XI
The veiled lady was none other than
Sylphide Courtlandt, or Sylphide Coura
mont, as a cruel fate had decreed that
fihe should henceforth be known; and
she had come to this humble home to
see vryfh her own eyes the woman who
was destined to take her place and be
come the mother of her child.
So anxious and excited was she to sat
isfy herself that Dr. Gresham had not
led her into a trap, that her first move
ment was to snatch the veil from before
her face and rivet her eyes npon Claire.
A little amazed himself at this f range
proceeding, Philip Burgess advanced and
demanded, politely:
"May I ask, madam, to what we owe
the honor of this visit?"
"I will tell you with pleasure, sir
only I am not well and so many flights
of stairs "
I beg your pardon, madam." exclaim
ed the gentleman, quickly offering the
most comfortable chair that the room
afforded; "will you be seated?"
Sylphide bowed and sank Into the
chair, glancing about her with the mental
ejaculation:
"What misery! I wish I had brought
Are hundred dollars Inrtesd of one!"
While Burgees, whose eyes were not
yet blind to the beautiful, thought:
"What a remarkably fine woman!"
"I do not Hve so far away as not to
be considered a neighbor, and I have
stifling with mortification, and not until
she reached the landing was shs able to
regain her breath.
The figure of a man came lightly up
the stairs and confronted her, and, too
late to conceal her Identity, she found j
herself face to face with Dr. Ureshain.
"You here!" he exclaimed, starting
back in surprise. )
"Silence!" she breathed, passionately;
"I never witnessed such pride and mis
ery! But the girl is dying you may
safely marry her to my to I.ueian!"
While this brief but significant inter
view was taking place upon the stairs
beyond the closed door a scene of hys
terical relief was being enacted. Tin
moment their routed benefactress had
disappeared, Philip Burgess exclaimed.
proudly:
You see! 1 am not such a spendthrift
after all. I have kept a dollar by me,
and though It was the Inst, it has saved
us. from a great humiliation!"
Throwing her arm about his neck,
Claire cried, with a sob In her voice:
It was your noble heart, dear father,
that has saved us!"
"Go to your rooms, both of you!" ex
claimed Mr. Burgess; "she may return,
and if so, she ehall not depart until she
has sntUtied my suspicions!"
Scarcely had Claire and her mother
vanished when the door opened to admit
Dr. Gresham. With an exclamation of
surprise and pleasure, Philip Burgess
turned to the scarcely closed door.
"Where are you going?" demanded
Gresham, abruptly.
"To call the ladies back," replied Mr.
Burgees; "they have just left me."
"Do nothing of the kind! It is you
whom I wish to see first of nil, upon a
matter of the utmost Importance to
your daughter. I have already informed
you that I fear that all that can be done
for Claire is to render her declining days
comfortable. Stay! hear me out. She
requires other quarters than this mis
erable tenement; she needs luxuries, at
tention, a carriage. I will place them
at your disposal, and you have only to
accept them.
"What do you mean? What must I
do? Command me!"
"Do you recall a friend of former days
of the name of Russell Courtlandt?"
"Certainly I do; he died some six years
since."
"Leaving a widow and one son. For a
while their property was depreciated, but
recently it has come into value, and Lu
clnn Courtlandt is one of the wealthiest
young men in the city."
"Well, well go on!" urged Burgess,
eagerly.
"Unfortunately, Luclan became fasci
nated by a young woman in the South,
and hastily married her. It now trans
pired that his supposed wife Is the daugh
ter of a slave, la no wife at all. Conse
quently he has come to his senses, and
is looking for a wife In his own station
In life. He has commissioned me to ask
the hand of your daughter In marriage.
It is also understood that unless, he heart
from me within an hour he will present
himself here during the morning, and
the wedding can hp arranged to take
place within a fortnight."
Philip Burgess rose like one rouring
from dazed dream.
"Are you mad, or making sport of
me?" he muttered. "You cannot hav
forgotten that even In my abasement I
am still a gentleman! Do you speak the
truth? Why does he demand the hand
of a dying woman?"
"Becsus he has a son wbo cannot
bear his name, since Its mother Is
slave."
I understand !" retorted Burgees, with
withering sarcasm ; "since the present

THOUGHT HAM HAUNTED.
Why a Itouthera Nearo Mould Not
Move th Meat,
It Is often curious to observe the
plsy of superstition In the nature of
the black man," said a writer In the
New Orleans Time-Democrat; "and
it 1 really astounding at times to note
th total Ignorance of the law of cauae
and effect which la to lie found among
member of the black race, llecently
I bad occasion to observe a rather
striking Instance of the point I have in
mind. It was during hog killing time
out In my country home. Part of a
bog had been left out on a platform
and the thing I have In mind happened
along late In the evening, just as the
day was merging into darkness.
Now, It Is a well knowu fact that
the negro, tn common with other peo
ples wbo believe In ghosts, associate
these uncanny member with darkness.
One of the negroes of the place waa
engsged In taking the meat from the
platform Into the smokehouse, where
It was being salted down. Now note
what happened. It la dusk. The
shadowy part of the day bad set In.'
It wss bordering on ghost time. When
the negro was on his way to the plat
form to get the laat piece of meat
which had been left be noticed that
it waa moving restlessly on the plat
form. Did he get It? Not much. He
uid not get close enough to touch It
He not only remained religiously away
from the pier of haunted meat, but
he refused positively to leave hla
wulte friend, and when tbey pressed
him . for an explanation of bla con
duct be told them Just what the matter
wa. 'Boss,' he aald, seriously, 'dat
ham suttenly Is ha'nted.'
Of course, the trouble was soon
straightened out There was a cat un
