"All the days I ha' been In this house, and that's nigh on a year, you've never so much as looked at me. Oh, no! my naoM? la Fan, and Mr. Hammond Is my master." ? "But how cruel In you and him to keep me here, and my poor rather, too," said Kate, "That's none of my business, Miss. Mr. Hammond pays me," said Fan. "Have you no pity, no heart, no soul?" cried Kate. "Not a bit?not a mite. They robbed me of all the heart 1 ever bad. I haveta^ got anything now but n yearn ing for such stuff as this," said Fan, placing the gold coin that Luke ha<l given her upon the floor. "Who robbed you, Fannie}" asked Kate. "Say, Miss. Do you want to talk to me?" asked Fan, quickly. "When 1 Unit came into this room you wouldn't look at me, even. Now, all at once, you want to talk. Oh, no! my master pays me to keep his secrets?when I can get hold of them?and I pay myself for keeping my own." "The old wretch," thought Kate, "loves nothing but gold, and I have very little to give her. But I must make a beginning. Here, Fannie," site said aloud, and showing a gold dollar, of which she had sevcrul in her purse, "jou see this?" Old Fan's eyes glittered as she tlxed licr greedy gaze upon the little coin. ? "Tell me who robbed you of your lieart, and you Khali have this," t-ald Kate. "Even Luke lliunmoiid pays me in advancr. Old Fan trusts nobody," said Fuii. "Take it," said Kate, and the coin npuu in the air. Obi Fan caught it as it iitarviug dog catches a morsel of meat ?in her mouth. "I learned the trick," said Fan, ?velghlng the coin on her linger nnil, "to please a showman I traveled with (luce. Some people used to toss pen nies to me, but I didn't spit, 'em out because they were coppery?pennies grow into dollars. Now, I'll tell you who stole my heart hut of me, aud made nie hate everybody. It was uiy children." "Your children, Fannie! I never knew you had any children! Where arc tliey?" said Kate. The old woman looked keenly at the lovely girl. Kate's tone of genuine sympathy had astonished her. "Yes," said Fan. . "f hail a son and daughter once. The sou robbed me and ran away when he was twenty years old ? thirty years ago. The daughter went with him, too?she was sixteen then. That didn't make me bad. Miss." "What did, Fannie?" asked Kate. "The desertion of the children killed their father?killed him when he heard it as sudden as if a bayonet had split Ills heart wide opcu. Miss Elgin. Ho was my husband.

Straight enough, though, not to let you get away from Mr. Hammond Ro long ns lie pays me," said she. with a slinrp glance. "I love to talk?no body talks to me. though. After my husband died, and I went crazy, what do you think my children did?" "I hope they returned, were very sorry, aud took good care of you, Fan nie," said Kate, who did not despair of gaining the good will of the lialf Idlotlc creature. "Would you have done that, Miss?" asked Fan. "I would never desert my parents," said Kate. "You would! You are all alike sons and daughters?all of ye!" screamed old Fan, flying iuto a tem pest of rage and springing up. "You would have done what mine did?put me In a madhouse-sell all I had and run off again! Fiends! If I could find those children I'd eat 'em up?ent 'em up raw! I wonder If you ain't one!" She hobbled nearer to Kate and peered closely Into her face. "Horrors!" thought Kate. "This Is a mad woman, and 1 am alouo with her. What shall I do?" "I think you are one?I think you are the girl," said Fan, still drawing near, with her distorted, rat-like eyes blazing from a horrid visage, scanted and scarred with (lie ravages of the sntnllf pox. "My g||| was ns pretty ns you." Her lean, bony lingers touched poor Kate's trembling hand. "And her linuds were soft, like this," said Kan. "I wish I had teeth now you must be my girl. Nellie Dunn." Kate tossed her purse from her. and It clinked as It fell upon the floor. "Pick that up and you may have it." said Kate, though white as snow "({old!" cried old Fan, darting upon the purse and emptying its contents Into her palm. "Ob, no! You are not my girl. My girl never gave me gold ?she helped to rob me," and as If the fold had proved the plain 'Imposslbll 'V of .the Iden, from that time she never raved of It again, Knte, happy at her narrow escape from violence, took good care to speak no more to old Fan of her children. "She has been In n madhouse." mused Knte, looking uneasily nt the old woman, as she counted nnd re counted her coins, "nnd Is half mad now. At nny fearful moment she may fly Into a frenzy and tenr ine to pieces." "Have you any more?" asked Fan. looking op. "You have all I had." said Kate. "Yoa miaht hsTr , Virt rttt ittraTi JVv H couldn't make me dec*ire Mr. Luke Hammond/' Wild P*tt; dreamily. "Whjr, db lore lilm so much?" asked Kate. "I don't know," said Fan, "why 1 can't be made to receive him.

"Well, I have lived all that time, seen millions of people, but I have never reen anybody t like to serve so Well as 1 do Luke Hammond/' "Why?" ''Because he always is up to deviltry, nud I like it," said Fau. Poor Kate shuddered at the fearful grin that distorted old Fau's hideous countenance. ".She is golug mad again, 1 am afraid to-talk to her any more," mused Kate, oiul then closing her eyes as If asleep, began to wonder why her liftfle was so cruel, nud how lottg 11 would be* be fore .tauies Greene would seek for her. Then she thought of the will and the other (locumi'iit she had concealed, and resolved to die before the secret should lie wrested from her. Much she thought of her sick and tortured father also, and she trembled to remember the cuuuiug, daring and power of Ham mond. She was, of Course, well acquainted with the part of the house she was In, for she had speut many hours iu her father's studio, the crimson chamber, and knew that between him and her only four rooms intervened. No chance of escape, I hough, with such dragons about her, the windows barred, too, and the shutters nailed up. the doors locked, and lhe kej*s in Fan's bosom. An hour passed ou In utter silence, and then Kate peeped Blyly from her long, siikcu lashes. Old Fan was asleep! But her back was against tiie door that led Into the ante-chamber opening Into the hall. "The other door Is locked," said Kate, "but 1 will examine It." She rose cautiously ami did so. No hope there! The door was locked and nailed upv Kate's eyes roved about the room. She was looking for soinethlug that might he used as a weapon. The chairs were too heavy for her to raise to strike; she tried their weight. "Too heavy. I might fall, and she would kill me on the spot. What iu'iuf she has," said Kate, glancing at Fan's hard elbows. "She may be sixty-seven but she iias the strength of sixty-seven like me." "Too light. Oh. for a club of Iron! 1 must save my father." In despairing hope she gently re placed the pitcher. The slight noise opened Fan's eyes as if with a spring. "Ha! up! What do you want?" cried Fnu. , "Water?nothing else," said Kate, re turning to her chair, "Itctter undress and go to bed," croaked old Fan. "The time may come when, like mc, you will want a lied." A little bell swinging on a wire neat the door now tinkled. Fan whined and got up. placing her ear to a trumpet shaped pi He passing through the wall, and heard these words; "Does she sleep?" I*an glanced at Kate. Kate appeared fast asleep in her chair. Fan an swered: "Yes, .Mr. Hammond. What time is it? I'm very sleepy myself." "Watch, you old wretch." said Ham mond in his library, when, after a short nap. lie had waked up. "Day light iu half an hour and relief." "Ilrlief," whined Fan. crouching at (lie door, and leaning her back against it. "I'll have to watch for two horn's yet." Ten minutes passed and Kate heard Fan snore. Kate then stole to the wasiistand and seized something she ?aw standing on the little shelf where placed. It was a small vial labeled "chloro form." She had seen It when Fan awoke, and had resolved to use It. Uncorking It with her teeth she stole near the old woman and held the open vial under the snoring nose. In less than a minute old Fan turn bled upon her face, scnpcless. With eager hands Kate took the krt from Fan's bosom, unlocked the doof, pnlled Fan aside, and entered the an* chamber, having locked her keeper In. Then out Into the hall she crept oa tiptoe. "Now to get out of the house," said brave Kate. "'TIs useless to seek my poor father. He has Lnke Ham. mond's guards around him, no doubt. Which way shall I go?" As she paused the deep baying of salvage dogs fell upon her ear. "Those tigers my uncle, turns loose every night." she thought. "If I get out of the house I can neVor get to the Mrcet. What shall I do? I must try ?o escape. I will raise a window anfl ory help! murder! anything to draw at tention." She felt her way along the dark hall, descending to the floor l?elowf found a window and tried to open It 'Twns nailed down and the atroni shutters nailed to the sill! While she groped about for some outlet Luke was asleep in his chair In the little library. Suddenly the little hill over the desk awoke him with a terrible clatter. "Whai now?" he nhouted Into the "peaking tube. the white and geld cha?bc*t '"She's loose! VM locked ttj>.

"No. Let Daniel call there when he returns from James Greene and leave word with my bookkeeper that I am ill. Have you renewed the search for ths will?" "Yes, and daylight has not helped me to find It," replied Nancy, as sht left the library. Hammond bathed and breakfasted, and then took his way to the white and gold apartment. Nancy, who was within, admitted him. "Good morning, niece," snld Luke, as Kate, seated In her chair, raised her eyes to his. "Your presence, sir. Is an insult to me," said Kate. "You must pocket the insult, Miss Elgin," said Luke, with a sneer. "I am here to prepare your mind to re ject the thought of ever being the wife of James Greene." "I will never be tlie wife of any other man, so help me heaven!" said Kate, boldly.. To be continued.
