CHAPTER IX.
? Continued.
"My sweet hearts. Miss. I had lots of
'em?long time ago* You Ueodh't think
to coax me, Miss* with nice names/'
said Fan, shaking her head briskly.
"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. After he died the
world ?ot black as Ink to me; I went
crazy; I ain't quite straight In my head
now. 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

"Whjr, db lore lilm so much?"
asked Kate.
"I don't know," said Fan, "why 1

"Sixty-seven," said Kate.
"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

She felt her way along the dark
hall, descending to the floor l?elowf

While she groped about for some

terrible clatter.

Kate Klgln heard the clatter of his

"Ah! I sm lost!" she cried, rushing

she heard the ringing of bells and
Hammond's roice. Lights soon began

CHAPTER X.
LUU HAMMOND THUATim,
Having seen Kate Elgin once more ft
captive Lake returned to his deU*
from which bell-Wires and speaking
tubes seemed to extend th every direc
tion like the fibres Of A spider's Web.
"Very little sleep have I had," hi
muttered, as he reseated himself ih
bis chsir once more.
"My head Is aching to split, and my
brain swings In my skull like a pendu

Muttering and planning he fell
asleep again, and slept Until the clock
on the mantel struck i0>
He awoke with a Start glanced af
the cloek and spring to his feet, ttlghl
before hlni sat his sister, Nancy Har
ker.
"How did you get in?" he exclaimed.
"Your door was unlocked. I could
not sleep," said Nancy. "Whenever I
shut my eyes I saw?"
She paused.
"Harriot FodsV* asked Hammond
sueerlngly,
"No. Her sister?that's dead." Bald
Nancy, very pale, and Very low in tone. |
"It worries me. Luke?worries me to
death," she continued. "For so many
long years I have slept well, aud now,
i-omes thai face again. It forbodes
danger ami ruin to us, Luke."
"Pooli!" said Luke. "You are supetv
stitious. I'll tell you what worrlet
me: the fact that I have twice within
a few hoitrs- left my doors Unlocked.
What news from the prisoners?'1
"They are safe," said Nancy. "Henry
Elgin still sleeps. When he" awake#
liis mind will be clear as crystal. Hit
daughter lias at length fallen asleep."
"Who watches there, in the whits
and gold?"
"Daniel walks the hall,'1 replied
Nancy. "Every teh minutes he lookl
in upon Henry Elgin. There is a. hand
1*11 upon Catharine Elgin's table; she
will ring It when she wants anything.
I have the key of the door. Yout
breakfast is ready and waits for you.H
"Very well," said Luke, "I will bath*
and then go to breakfast. In the mean*
time place Stephen on guard, and let
Daniel take this decoy letter to Jainel
Greene, with such articles Of my ward*
robe as you think l>est.'k
"Shall you go to your office in Wall
Street to-day?" asked Nancy.
"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..
