i CHAPTER XI.-Continoed.)
The door had opened while be was
peaking, and Mts. Burgees had entered
with a radiant face, bearing several
sheets of manuscript In her bands. So
great wae her excitement that ahe did
not heed the presence of the doctor, and
hastening to her husband, ahe held the
manuecrlpt before hit eyea with trem
bling hand.
"Look!" ahe cried; "at laat I know the
ecret which la killing our poor Clah-e
I bare discovered the name of the man

written bT her last nlaht."
Philip Bargee eelied the proffered
eheete and ran bis eye oyer their tear-
Wnrred aiirface. Suddenly a name ar
rested his attention; he uttered an inar
ttculate cry, flung the manuscript upon
the tnble and grasped the doctor by both
bands.
"Gresham!" he cried, joyfully, I ac
cent! It is no longer a question of ac
quiring a fortune a the price of my hon
or, at the coat of my name, out or eav
In my dauchtex'a life!"
Claire herself was a silent auditor of
the triumphant exclamations. She had
reached the open door and paused upon
the threshold, hearing her father a woras,
In the next moment she descried her pre
cious manuscript, the secret of her lite,
lying exposed upon the table, and with a
walling cry of dismay she staggered for
ward and flung herself upon her mother's
breast.
"Oh, mother, mother!" ahe sobbed, a
burning flush mounting her pallid brow,
'what hare you done!"
"Pardon me, my child," replied Mrs.
Burgess soothingly, as she caressed the
drooping golden head; "but I could not
ee you suffer and remain in ignorance
of the cause another day."
"Well done, wife!" exclaimed Philip
Burgess; "had you not acted thus
promptly, I should have rejected the hap
piness of Claire'a life for now ahe will
live!"
"My life my happiness!" gasped the
young girl, raising her head and glancing
In dismay at her father; "oh, father, you
bare not read the secret of my foolish
pawion!" And when he nodded to her
with an assuring smile, she added, in de
palr: "It is a relic of our past happy
life which I have not had the strength
to combat acainst Instead of forgetting
this man whom I met by chance In that
brilliant world now closed to us forever,
I have been so foolish as to cherish his
lmaee in mv heart.
"And justly, Claire," replied the old
grttfltmaa; "arm yon not worthy to bear
the proudest name in toe land
"Ah, but If you knew bis name!" sob
ted the girl.
"I know it, and he will be here ehort-
lT"
"He here!" gasped Claire, recoiling a
few steps and standing alone.
"Yes Lucian Courtlandt! He comes
to demand your hand In marriage."
Completely overcome, Claire tottered
to the nearest chair and sank Into It, and
It Is doubtful if she heard Martha open
the door and announce:
"A lady and gentleman to ate you!"
A moment later Lucian Courtlandt ap
aml nnon the threshold with hia
haughty mother leaning upon his arm.
The young man was pallid but com
nosed, while Mrs. Courtlandt's stern fea
tures were wreathed In smiles. A few
words of welcome were exchanged be
tween rhillo Burgess and his wife and
Mrs. Courtlandt, Claire meanwhile ait-
ting there with drooping bead, apparent
lr unconscious of ber surroundings.
Presently, however, the words of Mrs.
Courtlandt penetrated her dulled hearing.
"Old friends." remarked that lady,
wkh affable condescension, "I have the
honor of demanding the hand of your
daughter Claire for my aon Lucian!
At these words, Claire struggled to
her feet and threw hertelf Into ber moth
r's arms.
"Poor child!" thought Lucian Court'
landt. "bow beautiful she Is!"
"Miss Burgess," said Mrs. Courtlaadt,
gently, "are you willing to be my daugh

her mother's breast.
Then Lucian advanced and took one

Two short weeks had made a startling
change In the circumstances of the Bur
?eaa family. "The lovely residence In
the neighborhood of Yotikers," which Lu
clan Courtlandt bad telegraphed 8ylphiI

banny hours that succeeded their return
to America bad now been rented for the
accommodation of Claire and ber parents
until the wedding should take place, and
later was to become the home of the
married pair.
It seemed Incredible that the bright
faced, happy woman, who sang Joyously
to herself as she brushed off the spacloua
lUssa, could be Martha Dunn; yet It
was ahe with every line of care and anx
ty smoothed from ber boneet face, and
a ami! set In ha place.
It was balmy morning In mid June,
on of those rare daya when gentle
ephyrs rustle the dense foliage that

earned to Inhsle the abundant vigor of

to the farthest corner of the wide piasaa,
out of earshot of the windows; "now

Claire has accepted the conditional
"Conditions what conditions?" Inquir
ed Philip Burgess in a punled way."
"Why. the child, of course."
The old man started and paled guiltily
"I haven't said a word to her about the
child!"
"Is it possible?" exclaimed the doctor,
In wild dismay; "she's got to know about
It."
"Of course she has! Now that you are
here, why dont you tell her yourself?"
While they stood conversing they had
failed to notice that Claire had been grad
ually approaching the house, with her
hands filled with dewy, fragrant rosea;
in fact, they were not aware of her pres
ence until she was close upon them, and
her cheery greeting disturbed the wt
ward silence that had fallen.
"Were you apeaking of me?" ahe ask
ed, earnestly.
Yes," answered Gresham; "we were
speaking of you and your approaching
marriage.
With a desperate effort that waa reaHy
pitiful to behold, the father began:
"Claire, I have something to nay to
you before your marriage. Listen, my
child; it Is a matter of aerioua import
to you."
Is it something about Lucian?" ahe
asked.
Yes."

she exclaimed, brightening; "anything
you have to say of him I shall be only
too happy to hear. I can never tell you
how content I am at the prospect of be
coming hia wife!"
With one despairing glance at Greah-
am, Philip Burgeea turned away, men
tally ejaculating:
"I can't, I can't tell her, for tt may kill
her!"
Fortunately, at this moment Martha.
came out upon the piazza, and anno on c-
that her mistress wae ready to see
the doctor. If he would kindly corns in.
"I will go whh you," whispered the
old man In Gresham's ear; "her mother
can tell her better; women can weep together."
And they entered the house, leaving
Claire standing there, with an expres
sion of dazed bewilderment upon ber fatr
face. One by one the fragrant rosea fil
tered through her fingers, and fell un
heeded and wilting to the ground; and
though ahe waa scarcely conscious of the
Impression, It seemed aa though a tiny
cloud, no bigger than a man a nana, nad
risen upon the horizon of that perfect
day.
At laat the roll of carriage wheels upoa
the avenue beyond the lawn arrested her
attention, and, raialng her eyea, she de
scried the Courtlandt livery rapidly 'ap
proaching the house through the trees.
Her heart stood still witn a aixzy
throb, but when the equipage drew op
and the widow Courtlandt alighted alone
it was with a heart heavy with disap
pointment that aha crossed the piazza to
greet the lady.
Mra. Courtlandt took the girl In her
arms, and disposed a light kiss upon her
brow; then linking ber arm In Claire'a,
she led her to a retired nook, whera stood
a rustic seat acreened by dense vine,
that lent an agreeable twilight against
the brilliant glare that reigned around.
Being seated, the lady took Claire's hand
In hers and said:
"This is just the opportunity I have
been aeeking; I have wanted to talk with
you, my dear. Lucian will be here In
an bour, and this is tne last time tnat
we shall be together before your mar
riage. First of all, I wish to thank you
for the racrifice you have made, and
the noble sentiments which have prompt
ed It."
"Sacrifice! Noble aentlments!" mur
mured Claire, In astonishment; "Indeed,
madam, I deserve no praise. My action
In the matter has been prompted by pure
ly selfish motives."
"Oh, I know that devotion haa become
second nature with you," replied the
lady, patting Claire's cheek; "but your
self denial cannot escape our gratitude.
But you shall be rewarded, my child; we
will woo you back to health, and, ere
long, you will be reconcllod to Lucian.
Yes, yes, I hope that some day my eon
will love you."

I will tell you, Claire, lucian wor

you, and regards It seriously, aa o does

"Yes." came the bUter response, so
low as scarcely to be audible, "be baa a
noble heart!"
"He will be here In a few minutes, and
I will tell him where to find you," said
the ladv. rising with the relieved air
of one who haa executed a painful duty.
So kiss me, my dear, and I will go in
and say good morning to your mother."
Claire submitted to the caress, and
when left alone sat for some minute
among the swaying vine. At last the
burning words roe to her Hp:
Heaven help me, how I loved him!
Fool that I was to dream that I should
be loved In return! Why, they have been
speculating upon my approaching death;
and If he leada me to the altar to-mor
row, he counts upon my lying dead be
fore It er long. This luxury this gold
are but th price of my diahonorl I
want no more of them, and only aak to
return to the misery of poverty!"
Her last words escaped her lip in a
igh of unutterable anguish, while to her
unheeding ears came the beat of th
horses' hoofs that bor her expectant
bridegroom!
Upon the spur of the moment she de
termined to go at once to her father,
Inform him thai ahe retracted her prom
ise, and break off the unhallowed match
then and there, despite the consequences.
She sprang to her feet full of her resolve,
but ere she could take a step the sound
of voices arrested her. Her woman
curiosity asserted Itself; she parted the
veil of vine with trembling hands and
eased out across the sunlit lawn.
There phe saw Lucian, the man she
loved with the one absorbing passion of
her life, standing In all his manly beau
ty, in conversation with Dr. Gresham,
who waa about to take hia leave. The
two men were shaking hands and ex
changing smiling words of congratula
tlon.
The girl's heart rose in her breast as
she listened, and the clung faintly to th
vine for aupport until their thorns en
tered her delicate flesh. The physical
pain and the mental anguish roused her
once again to the exigency of the mo
ment, and with precipitate steps she
turned and fled In at the open door.

As a daughter the Russian woman
is under the absolute sway of her pa
rents. The coming of age makes no
alteration In her position, says the
Westminster Review. Until the day of
ber death, If sha remains unmarried,
the place she occupies In the family
life Is a place of dependence upon the
will of her parents. When a woman
marries she changes the authority of
parents for the no less unqualified au
thority of husband. As the Russian
statue says, no woman can rea
sonably be expected to fully sat
isfy two such unlimited powers
as that of husband and parent."
The "unlimited" power of the parent
therefore, Is withdrawn and that of
her husband substituted. She cannot
leave him even to visit a neighboring
town with a "pass" from him. He
names the time she Is to stay, and at
the expiration of the term she is bound
to return or get it renewed. A hus
band may appear In a court of law as
a witness against his wife, but a wife
Is not permitted to appear against her
husband. A woman's evidence is re
garded also as of less weight than that
of a man. "When two witnesses do not
agree," the code runs, "the testimony
of an adult outweighs that of a child,
and the testimony of a man that of a
woman."
