The Planter's Daughter 22 FATE'S REVENGE By MRS. ALICE CARRISTON Authooflf "A Waif from the 8ea," "Her Brightest Hop," U "Wayward Wlnnefred," etc. " A CHAPTER XlWContlaoed.) The door had opened while ba wai speaking, and It. Burgees had entered with a radiant face, bearing several sheets of manuacripb In her hands. Bo great wm her excitement that aba did not heed the prcaence of the doctor, and battening to her husband, aha held the manuscript before hla eyes with trem bling hand. "Look:" she cried: "at last I know tha secret which ia kflllng our poor Claire I hare discovered the name of the man aha loresl Head these pages; tbejr wre written by her last night." 0 Philip Burgees seized tha proffered sheets and ran his eye orer their tear blurred aurface. Suddenly a name ar rested bia attention; be uttered an Inar ticulate cry, flung the manuscript upon the table and grasped the doctor by both hsnds. "Oreahaiul" he cried, Joyfully, "I ac cept! It is do longer a question of ac quiring a foajune at the price of my hon or, at the vt of my name, but of ear ing my daughter's life!" Claire herself was silent auditor of the triumphant 'exclamations. Hue pad reached the open door and paused upon the threshold, hearing her father's words. In the next moment she descried h& pre cious manuscript, the secret of ber life, lying; exposed upon the table, and with a walllpg cry of dismay she ataggered for ward and flung herself upon her mother's breast "Oh, mother, mother!" she eobbe, a burning Rush mounting ber pallid bapw, "what hare you donel" ''Pardon tne, my child," replied Mrs. Burgees soothingly, as shs caressed the drooping golden bead; "but I could not see you suffer and remain in Ignorance ef the cause another day." "Well done,. wife!" exclaimed Philip Burgess; "bad you not acted thus promptly, I should have rejected the hap piness of Claire's life for now she will lire!" "My life my. happiness!" gasped th young girl, raising her head and glancing In dismay at ber father; "oh, father, you hare not read the secret of my foolish paralonl" And when he nodded to her with an assuring smile, she added, in de spair: "It Is a relic of our past bappy life which I hare not had the strength to combat against Instead of forgetting this man whom I met by chance In that brilliant world now closed to us forever, I hare been ao foolish as to cherish hla Image In my heart." "And Justly, Claire." replied the old gentleman; "are you not worthy to bear the proudest name In the land!" "Ah, but If you knew hla name!" sob bed the girl. "I know It, and he will be here short ly." "He here!" gniped Claire, recoiling a few atepa and standing alone, "Ves -J.uctan Courtlandt! He cornea to demand your hand in marriage." a Completely overcome, Claire tottered to the nearest chair and sank into It, and It ia doubtful if she beard Martha open the door and announce: "A lady and gentleman to aee you!" A moment later Luclan Courtlandt sjv peered upon the threshold with hla haughty mother leaning upon hie arm. The young man waa pallid but com posed, while Mrs. Courtlundt's stern fi-a turea were wreathed In amins. A few words of welcome were exchanged be tween Philip Burgess and his wife and Mrs. Courtlandt, Claire meanwhile alt' ting these with drooping head, apparent ly unconscious of ber surroundings. Preseutly, however, the words of Mrs. Courtlandt penetrated her dulled hearing. "Old friends," remarked that lady, with affable condescension, "I have the honor of demanding the baud of your laughter Claire for my son Luian!" At these words, Claire struggled to ,her feet and threw herself Into her moth sr's anna. "Poor child r thought Luclan Court landt, "hW beautiful she Is!" "Mlsa Ilurgess," said Mrs. Courtlandt, gently, "are you willing t8 be my dtnigh Poor Claire murmured some luartlcu late words, and her hAd sank fewer upon Her mother a breast. Then Luclan advanced and took one sf the pendent, anowy hands. "Claire," be murmured, "will you be my wire?" But there was no reply; Joy bad prlved the happy victim of all senre, and he lay unconscious la her mother a arms, e CHAPTER XII. e Two short weeks had made a startling change In the circumstances of tjje Bur gess ramny. ins loveiy residence in the neighborhood of Yonkers," which Lu- elan Courtlandt had telegraphed Rylphlde be had gone to aee during those brief bappy hours that succeeded their return to America had now been rented for tne . aocommodatkin of Ciaire and her parents until the wedding should take place, and later was to become the home of the marred pair. -It seemed Incredible that the bright- faced, happy woman, who aang Joyously to herself aa she brushed off the spacious plaxsa, could be Martita Dunn; yet It waa ahe with every line of care and anx lety smoothed from her honest face.cjuid t smile set Iff us place. It was a balmy morning In mid Jigie, ene of thore rare daysg when gentle lephyrs rustle the dense foliage that hades the verdant- earth. Even Claire aimed to Inhale the abundant vigor of the scene as she stepped forth npon the plana, clad all dn white, with fluttering ribbons of a delicate violet tint, to greet the morn. A quick, light atep crunched the gravel ef the path, coming from the direction of the atablee, and a moment later the lean, athletic figure of Dr. Oresham swung round the corner of the mansion ana mounted the steps. As he reached the plana Philip Burgeae came out, radiant and cheery as the morn itself. The two men shook bands; Burgers heartily, Oresham with alight constraint "Well, aren't we aa fine as fine cgn be?" exclaimed the former, with a glance thrilling with pride jjpon hie charming domain. 5r- "Flne, very fine iflfeedl" waa the eriap, buelnem-like reply; "but I have some thing of the utmost Importance to say to you. and aa we are alone for the mo ment, no time could be more opportune 'Oh, then, yon need not hesitate!" jtft old friend by the arm and led him to the farthest corner cf the wide plaxsa, out of earshot of the vludowsi "now then," be continued, "aa to-morrow la the wedding day, I should like to know kow Claire baa accepted the conditional" "Condltlone what conditioner Inquir ed Philip Burgess in a puzsled way." "Why, the child, of course." The old man started snd paled guiltily "I haven't said a word to ber about thsJ child!" "Is It possible?" exclaimed tbe doctor, in wild dismay; "she's got to know about It." "Of course ehe haa! Now that you are here, why don't you tell her yourself?" While they stood conversing they had failed to notice that Claire bad been grad ually approaching the house, with Jier hands filled with dewy, fragrant roses.; In fact, ftiey were not aware of her pres ence until ehe was close upon them, and her cheery greeting disturbed the awk ward silence that bad fallen. "Were you speaking of me?" she ask ed, earnestly. ."Yea," answered Greaham; "we were spesklng of you and your approaching marriage." With a desperate effort that waa reaUy pitiful to behold, the father began t "Claire, I hare something to aay to you before your marriage. Listen, my child; it Is a matter of serious import L to you." "Is It something about Luclan?" ahe asked. "Yes." than the present." Aa hs spoke he took she exclaimed, brightening; "anything yon have to aay of him I ahall be only too bappy to hear. I can never tell you how content I am at the prospect of be coming bia wife!" With one despairing glance at Qreah am, Philip Burgees turned away, men tally ejaculating: "I can't, I can't tell her, for It may kill her!" Fortunately, at this moment Martha came out upon the piazza, and announc ed that her mistress wse ready to see the doctor, If he would kindly come In. "I will go with you," whispered tha old man in Grexbatn's ear; "her mother can tell her better; women can weep to gether," And they entered the house, leaving Claire standing there, with an exprea aion uf'dazed bewilderment upon her fair face. One by one the fragrant roses Al tered through her fingers, and fell un heeded and wilting to tbe ground; and though ahe waa scarcely conscious of the Impression, It seemed as though a tliil cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, bad risen upon tbe horizon of that perfect day. At last the roll of carriage wheels npon the (venue beyond the lawn arrested her attention, and, raising her eyea, ahe de scried the Courtlandt livery rapidly ap proaching the house through the trees. Her heart stood atill with a dizzy throb, but when the equipage drew up and the widow Courtlandt alighted aloue It waa with a heart heavy with disap pointment that ahe crossed the piazza to greet the lady. Mrs. Courtlandt took the girl In her arma, and disposed a light klsa upon her brow; then linking her arm In Claire s, she led her to a retired nook, where stood a rustic seat acreened by denae vines, that lent an agreeable twilight against the brilliant glare that reigned around, Being seated, the lady took Claire's hand in hers and Bald; "This is Just the opportunity I have been seeking; I have wanted to talk with you, my dear. Luclan will be bere In an hour, and this Is the laat time that we ahall be together before your mar riage. First of all, I wish to thank you for the sacrifice you have made, and the noble sentiments which have prompt ed it." . "Sacrifice! Noble aentlmenta!" mur mured Claire, In astonishment; "Indeed, madam, I deserve no praise. My action In thej matter haa been prompted by pure ly eel hah motives," "Oh, I know that devotion has become second nature with you," replied the lady, patting Clalre'a cheek; "but your self dental cannot eacape our gratitude. But you shall be rewarded, my child; we will oo u back to health, and, ere long,. you will be reconciled to Luclan, Yes, yes, I hope that some day my son will lore you." "Love me, love me, do you aay?" fal tered poor Clulre, like one In a dream; "he is going to marry me" "What credit Is there In hla giving hla hand?" were the next paarlyxlng words; "are you not a thousand times more generous In giving his child name?" "Ills child!" muttered the girl, In stupefied way; then suddenly seizing the widow's hand, she exclaimed violently, "his child!" "Listen, Claire; If It Is your will, we will unite our forces, set up our batteries agnlust our common enemy, agalust this woman whom I bate, aa you ought to hate!" At this revelation Claire fell bark against the seat, while through her dased brain darted with lightning like rapidity the thought: "Oh, heaven grant me the strength to hear nr to tbe endl" Then aa Mrs. Courtlandt, amaaed at her sudden alienee, turned and looked at Iter, she started up, exclaiming hysteri cally: 0"Ah, yes! The woman he lorea the mother of his child I But I do not under statro why she doea not oppose my mar rlage?" "I will tell you, Claire. Luclan wor ships we and Is passionately attached to hie child; I promise you that be is en tirely reconciled to his marriage with you, and regards It seriously, aa he does all other obligations in life." "Yes," csme the bitter response, so low aa acarcely to be audible, "be baa a noble heart!" He will he here In a few minutes, and I will tell him where to find you," said the lady, rising with the relieved air of one who haa executed a painful duty. So kiss me, my dear, and I will go in ami aay good morning to your mother." Claire submitted to the caress, and when left alone eat for some minutes among the swaying vines. At last the burning words rose to ber Itpet Heaven help me, how I loved blm! Fool that I waa 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-morrow, he counts upon my lying dead be fore It ere long. This luxury this gold but the price of my dlahonor! I want no more of them, and only ask to return to the misery of poverty!" Her last words eecaped her llpa In tlgh ef unutterable angursh, while to her I iurt.duig can came the beat of the ' horse' hoofs that bore her expectant bridegroom I I I'pon tbe spur of the moment she de termined to go at once to ber father, Inform bim that 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 ber. Her woman's curiosity asserted Itself: she parted the ' veil of vlnea with trembling hands and gazed out across the sunlit lawn. There ohe saw Luclan, the man the loved with the one absorbing passion of her life, standing m all hla manly beau ty, in conversation with Dr. Oresham, who waa about to take bia leave. The two men were shaking hands and ex changing smiling words of congratula tion. The girl's heart rose In her breast aa she listened, and she clung faintly to the vlnea for support until their thorns en tered her delicate flesh. The physical pain and the mental anguish roused ber once again to the exigency of the mo ment, and with precipitate stepe ahe turned and fled In at the open door. (Tft be continued.! MARRIAGE IN RUSSIA, The Splneter Has an Ua pleasant Pre peel 1st tha Line. A a daughter tbe Russian woman la under the absolute away of her pa rent. Tbe coming of age make no alteration In her position, says the Westminster Review. Until the day of ber death, If tbe remains unmarried, the place the occuple In the family life It a place of dependence 'upon the will of her parents. When a woman marries ahe changes the authority of parent! for the no leaa unqualified au thority of husband. Aa the Russian tiatue says, no woman can rea sonably be expected to fully sat isfy two such unlimited powers at that of butband and parent" The "unlimited" power of the parent therefore, la withdrawn and that of her husband substituted. She cannot leave him even to visit neighboring town with a "pass" from him. He names tbe time she Is to stay, and at tbe 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 hit husband. A woman's evidence1 Is re garded alto 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." According to tbe tenets of the Rus sian Church, marriage la a sacrament and is theoretically Indissoluble. There Is no such thing as a civil marriage and divorce, except In one case, Is practically unobtainable by a woman. The exception Is the deprivation of civil rights and banishment of the husband. If the wife chooses she can follow her huaband Into exile, and Rus sian literature Is full of pathetic sto ries of women, tenderly nurtured, braving the terrors of the long Siberian march. All children, however, born In exile, are regarded aa belonging to the lowest clnss of society. If, on the other hand, the wife seeks, on the plea of her husband's banishment, .divorce, the church In thjs case relaxes her discipline and grants the plea. Al though tbe statute recognizes adultery and desertion as grounds for divotee, the law Is beset with such difficulties that It Is never resorted to except by the wealthy, who can always make the tardy wheels revolve more swiftly. While divorce Is difficult to obtain there are other means resorted to which reach the same destination, only by a different route. Laws In Russia are made not to be broken, but to Be evaded, and both the civil and ecclesi astical authorities have learned the art of evasion to perfection. Marriages may be annulled If any InfoAnaltty has occurred In them, and If parties are willing, the rest Is only a question of money. In some parts of the em pire the marriage service Is enacted with this contingency In view. The certificate may be left undated, or the age of the contracting parties omitted. In some parts of Little Russia a rela tive, during the ceremony, gives the bride a slap, to prove In case of seed that she has married under compul sion. Women who succeed In obtaining a separation from their husbands on the ground of Informality are received Into society, are allowed to marry agnln and may even be separated again without loss of position. There Is, however, a more healthy public spirit arising, which tends strongly In favor of an adjustment of the present laws. The Old Umbrella. "I've always had It In for the man who carries his umbrella around with hira as a walking stick or Just In case of rnln, and usually succeeds In pok ing It into the face of everybody with whom he comes ln contact; but now I've nothing to any," said a guest In the lobby of a local hotel one morn lug last week. "I'pon reaching this city a week agr I deposited my umbrella In the check room of the station and went off hap py In the thought that I would do no damage during the day from tha? source, at least. Well, Instead of spending the day In Washington, as I had Intended, I've been here a week, and forgot all about my parachute un til this morning, when I strolled down to the stntlon to redeem It, and myself a ticket for home. At any rate, there among other checked article I spied my old dollar umbrella, and pointed It out to the gentle-looking little wo man in attendance as I put down a dime and corresponding brass piece. 1 'The charge is seventy cents, she sweetly Informed me, not noticing my little dime. " Seventy cents!' I exclaimed. In tones that suggested she was trying to rob me. "Yes, sir; seventy cents,' she as sweetly continued. 'We charge "ren cents for every twenty-four hours an article la left In storage.' "Well there was no mistaking the statement," coucluded the visitor, "so I cashed In. Anyhow, I think Wash ington Is a great old place."

He hastened to ber, holding ont his hand. o "Are you here alone?" he questioned, surprised, "For the moment" she answered. "I am expecting a friend. He was to meet me bere at 8." Glancing op at a giant gilt clock, whose bands moved with annoying slowness; "It Is not quite that yet," she reflected, Impatiently. De Narville smiled down upon her. "Msy I sit here opposite your' be asked, drawing out the chair, "until he comes?" "Certainly," she replied, and he took the chair. . He observed her admiringly. "You are looking beautiful to-njght, Jessica," he began. "How dainty your white is, and that touch of rose In jpuf hat. Old-fashlened roses they are, aren't they? On a new-fashioned wom an. And your little fingers gjjtterlng with Jutt enough diamonds, not too many. Just enough. There are some who mnke the mistake of wearing dla monds to the knuckles, but you, neverl Dear me! Ttys last time I saw you, Jessica,' you were In tears." "Yes," encouragingly. "You and he bad Just separated. It was very sad I was not surprised at your tears. One must weep a little for any husband, worthy or unworthy. It Is In the nature of woman. But I said to myself, then, 'In a couple of weeks or three site will be over It. She will have entirely recovered.' And I must say that my prophecy has been ful filled even sooner than I expected, Jes sica. How lrmg has It been? Three weeks?" After a moment employed In rapid mental calculation, "Three weeks! And here you are, beaming .more beautiful than I have ever seen yoif, and waiting for a friend." Half closing his eyes quizzically, be bent toward her, "It Is safe to say," he whispered, "that this Is not a woman friend for whom you are so impatiently watching the hands of the clock with whom you are to dine." A laugh commenced at Jessica's eyes and finished at her Hps. "Hardly," she replied. "I thought not," declared De Nar ville. "And why should it be? Why not go out at once with your friends? Must you make a recluse of yourself, while be Was all the enjoyment possi ble? He goes where the pleases. I am certain of that. In fact, I hare eeen people who saw him dining here, there rfnd everywhere, with his acquaint ances, man or woman, as It Suits him." Here he paused for an interval, In oriicr to observe the effect It was rather disappointing than otherwise, Jessica sitting under Are, composed as a monument and quite as calm, He by and by continued: "At a matter of fact Jessica, you and he were never suited, you were never Intended for one another. Some unkind fate " "Fate, you, call It" repeated Jessica. Then, delicately defining the differ ence: "When it Is unkind, It is fate. JtVhen It Is kind, It Is Providence. And you call it fate?" "Some unkind fate," went on De Narville stolidly, "threw you together. You were too much alike In the first place. Both of intensely nervous tem peraments, excitable, high-strung, It was not In the nature'of things that you ceuld live together longer than a year. Indeed, many predicted a sep aration at the end of atx months, or, at the very least, aeven. But It has been a year, hasn't It?" "To-nlgbt" said Jessica, softly, "Is the anniversary of our wedding. De Narville laughed. "JtaA here you are," presently, "cele-J bratlng it by dining out with a friend! You are nothing, Jessica, If not up to date. You are more. You are unique, unusual. All your friends say that They say you are quite right In making the thing final. You are so superior to him In every way. You have wasted a year of your life onlilm." Jessies shrugged ber shoulders ever to slightly. "And what do they say of him?" she question. "This. That be has wasted a year of his life on me!" De Narville frowned. "I doi$ know. I 8m sure, what they say to him," he affirmed, "but really he was a brute, Jessica. And why live with a brute as his wife "0 ''When there are s many other brutes with whom one might simply dine," finished Jessica. 'Of course. Wlh whom one may pass a pleasant evening, men say 'ta-ta.' That la best; freedom. It Is these chains that gall. It Is sad, but true. I can't reason It out Nobody can. But the fact remains. Once a woman becomes the property of a man she loses her charm. Tbe sense of ownership appears to deaden his Inter est He Is not so with any other thing which he appears to own. His horse, his dog, their value ia only enhanced b the fact of possession. But the woman! Once his wife. In many cases she Is no better than a slaver Jessica, toying with her fork, marked belroglyphio here and thereoon the tablecloth. "For centuries," she ruminated, re- bsignedlr, "we were practically slaves and soM a tuch. Perhaps, after all. that la what we were born to be." Again De Narville laughed. "Now Uiat you are out of bondage," RUSSIAN SHIP DEPOSITING MINES. - : 'iff! I .'V" '4i'ii.Vi :,!;: ' The Ill-fated Russian mine transport "Yenesei" was destroyed by one of her own mines while laying traps for Japanese warships off Dalny. The "Yeuesei" had specially constructed stern ports for depositing Mallnorowskl mines. This ship's method of placing the mines was as follows: When the port waao opened, a spar, shaped like a T girder, was made to project from it Along the narrower part of the spar ran a sliding hook to which the mine was attached and drawn out until it overhung the water. At the proper moment a cord was pulled which released the mine and let it fall Into the water. The mine then moored Itself automatically as follows (see small dia gram): When the case M, containing the charge, had sunk to t certain depth, It received some support from Uie float b, and thereupon the anchor A began to unwind, Itself from the drum D until It found Its hold In the sea-floor. The mine would keep a uniform depth below the surface and would rise ntid fall with the tide. The moment a passing ship struck any of the studs 1 1 t the mine would explode. said he, "you can look back over the situation and laugh. It has some hu mor'for you. That Is better than tears. And, sorrow Is, to a certain extent, beneficial. It sharpens the wits. Not that you have not always been quick witted. On the contrary. So much more so than he, It was a pity, your friends said, to see you with him " "Yes, they said that to me," inter rupted JesHlca. "But what did they say to him?" She answered her own question. 'fflie self-same thing, turued round the other way." De Narville looked hard at her In the bright light of the glowlag electrics. "Freedom becomes you. Jessica," he declared. "I am almost ready to fall in love with you myself to-night." "Almost," repented Jessica, ruefully. "Quite," asserted De Narville. "You look content, Joyous, radiant. I wish other friends of yours, who have seen you in tears, could gaze upon you now. Friends who have talked this afCoir of yours over and over -" Jessica nodded assentlngly. "Yes." said she, "my friend have lost little time. They, have beeu noth ing if not industrious." "It was you who started the ball roll ing," replied De Narville, with a touch of reproach, "who tendered us our first information." "True, but It was such a little ball to start with, and when It came back, It was like a boy's snowball, the size of a man! We didn't know it for ours." Her expectant eyes rested on the face of the clock. Apparently she had forgotten the existence of De Narville. ' "It Is 8," she murmured, "and time for him to come."' Thev turned from the clock to the door. A light gleamed on them sud denly. The friend for whom she wait ed stood there. He advanced, and De Narville, ris ing, vacated bis place at the table oppo site Jessica. "Mr. De" Narville," .said Jessica, "my husband." Then: "We are celebrating the anni versary of our wedding day together," she explained with a smile. Zoe An derson Norris, in the Valley Magazine. WANTED, CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.

Downright un scrupulousness marks the knave; a par tial lack of scruple characterizes the large numbers of respectable men who, n members of boards, as merchants, as.taxpayers, as politicians, as voters, wink at evil practices, in otners, tim idly avoid all opposition to official wrong, and themselves commit slight and not too conspicuous Irregularities, or give support for selfish reasons to venal candidates tor omce. Bucn "re spectables" ore the despair of the pat riotic men who, in our day and In a thousand communities, are trying to stay the tide of that political corrup tion which, according to so good a friend of America as John Morley, "for the moment obscures the great democratic experiment." It comes to this, that "the period of corruption" which friends of Ameri cans abroad are called upon so often to apologize for a corruption which, while bad enough, Is not so deeply rooted vs our enemies believe can be brought to an end only by the growth of a sense of honor, of scrupulousness backed by moral bravery, upon the part of individuals in the republic. It Is not fantastic to aver that a gift of Imagination would assist some people to be virtuous. If a citizen should feel that his own lack of scruple, in any direction, was a contribution to the corruption and dishonor of his country and that hi personal withstanding of temptation to do wrong was not only an act of private virtue, but had pat riotic uses as well If he were con vinced for Instance, that his refusal to rote as a truste for a contribution to a bribery fund of to a dishonest boss wtis a means of doing away with a national disgrace if be had the Im agination to grasp the large bearings of his Individual action, it would be easier for him to take a stand for righteousness Instead of weakly acqui escing In some customary wrong. Aris totle's Idea of the state was associa tion "in t life of felicity and noble ness;" but Christianity ought not to have to look to paastnlsm for Ideals ol good citizenship and the making of a righteous people.
