"Ourae your children!" roared he. un able to Jerk hla arm free without dragging the old wretch down, for Fan had grown feeble and tottering ever alnce she saw the falling of James Greene. "Good?curse them for me, Luke Hammond," laughed Fan, now grasp ing his arm with both hands. "Curse them?how often 1 have cursed them? son and daughter?cursed them'on land and ses.

I'll live forever?live forever!" With a howl of rage and terror Ham mond darted away, and pale, panting, breathless, sank into his library chair, exclaiming, in a voice of horror: "There Is no doubt of It! 'That old bag la my mother!" Then placing the brandy decanter to his parched and quivering lips, he drank long sud greedily. "Ah!" he sighed, as he drew a long breath, "this business over, and once more rich, I will fly where no one of my kindred shall ever meet me?no, not even Nancy Harker. I must see her." He pulled the bell-cord and ahouted through the tube. "Mrs. Harker! Come! Important! How Is Catharine?" 4. The answer came after a pause: J-' "Bad! delirious." *"? "Delirious!" said Hammond, and he Shouted back: "Stay! I will come to you." He drank again from the decanter, and departed, saying: "Delirious! I expected it I will let Henry Elgin see her thus. The sight may move his heart to my wishes." CHAPTER XVII. TUB PHANTOM-NAME! Hammond hurried to the white and gold chamber. He found Kate Elgin pacing the floor with rapid ateps, and Nancy Harker watching her as a cat watchea a mouse. Hammond saw by the wildness of Kate's countenance, her feverish look and unnatural agitation that she was not conscious of her actions. "Are you ill, Miss Elgin?" he asked. Kate glanced toward him as he spoke, and the sound of hie voice seemed to curdle lier blood, for she grew pale ond shivered as If with cold. "I thought I heard his voice," said Kate. "Whose voice, Miss Elgin?" "Luke Hammond's voice,' said Kate, with a vacant look and leaning against the wall. "I am Luke Hammond," said he. "You! Ah, no! Luke Hammond is not a man, he is a devil. Who are yotf! Have you seen James Greene? I am to meet him at seven?is it seven?" Poor Kate continued to talk in wild delirium, sometimes walking, some times leaning against the wall. "Why do you not persuade her to lie down? Why did you let her rise?" de manded Luke. "If I go near her," said Nancy, "she perennos and seems about to fall Into ronvulsions. She was sleeping nicely S time back, when some one rushed through the hall?you. I think?making * great to-do, and sbo awoke as you see?out of her heod. Bhe got right up, and will not lie down. It Is noth ing serious. You needn't look so grave. It won't last very long, and Will end In a fit of tears." "You are sure of that*" asked Ham mond, and after a few moments of keen observation of Kate'a Appearance he added: "You are right, Nancy. A good flood of tears will relieve her. .Where'e Fan?" He turned around and stsrted as he saw the old creature squatted In the doorway, eyeing him and his sister with a sharper gaze than he bad ever aeen In those twisted orbs before. "I am here, Luke Hammond," said Fan, not moving, but rolling her eyes from him to Nancy, and from Nancy to him unceasingly. "I am thinking tklnklng " plague take your thought*!" said Hammond. "Get up and go tell Dan iel to roll Henry Elgin's bed hither. Go, old simpleton." "Yes, I will," said Fan, crawling up the side of the door until on her feet "You don't know how weak and shaky I am now. Yesterday?why this morn' Ing I lifted the big tub of water easier than I can a cupful qpw. But I waa thinking, you know what a pair of gay fiends ydu two be-you and Mrs. Har ker?gay fiends!

"Yea, yes?more devirry," said Fan, turning awaj, and mpttqrtaff as aba paa*ed through the antechamber Into the han. "Two gaj devflal Devil born me If you aln'-t the fajeat pair I ever knew?bnt one pair?nay boy and girl? they were a pair?gay fiends?-gayr "Nancy," said Luke, looking at hie Bister, half stupefied. "what Are you thinking about?" ? "About Fan." said Nancy. "You must not do it, Nancy Harker," Mid Luke. ,fWe are uneasy enough now In suspecting?we wortd be mis erable In knowing." "Luke," said Nancy, sternly, "you do know It, or believe It She let allp that there were twelve letters lp the name of some one whom she loved. It may be only a coincidence, but taken with other things. It looks like ? fatality. See." Nancy Harker stooped and wrote with red chalk upon the white matting this name: NICHOLAS DUNN. "That Is a name. Luke, that you and I have not spoken aloud for years? the name of our father. Count the let* tens." "Twelve!" said Hammond, uneasily. "But it Is nothing more than a coinci dence. Let the matter alone. Nancy." "Suppose she, old Fan. Is as we think," said Nancy." "But she Is not, confound your curi osity." said Hammond. "Slie Is not? she shall not l>e." "Luke," said Nancy, speaking very low, although poor Kate seemed far from understanding or listening. "Luke, If It should be true that Fan wns the wife of the man whose name I have written there, and whose chil dren we are, and she should discover the truth!" Hammond turned deadly pale. "Luke." continued Nancy, "she would avenge the death of her husbaud as sure as you are standing trembling there!" "Trembling! Do I tremble? So do you." said Hammond. "I do?I know It," said Nancy. "I tremble for two reasons. First, be cause In Fan, as we call her. we may find an enemy no less ferociously vin dictive than Harriet Fobs. Besides, Fan Is half crasy, and her vengeance, hate or whatever feeling may urge her to our destruction If she finds out who we are. and If she Is the person we think she Is. urge her to our de struction with means which would be all the more dangerous to us because she will not pause to sacrifice her own life In her fury." "She may have a feeling?the feeling of a mother, Nancy, for her offspring." "Our mother," said Nncy, "never loved us. Sho was devoted to her hus band alone?you know It. Her soul was with hlin. Was It our desertion that made our mother a lunatic? No, our desertion killed our father, and that crazed our mother." "Well, let's hear th* other reason for your trembling." ( "K Fan Is our mother," said Nancy, "she Is a deadly enemy. vHow do we deal wltlrdeadly enemies?" "But If it comes to a question of her life or our death, Nancy, what then?" "It must not come to that," said Nancy. "That would bo horrible. We must get rid of her?send her away? not hnrm her." "Too late," said Hammond, clenching his fists; "too late. Nancy." "Why too late, Luke? Is it ever too late to prevent a crime, which we fear w? may be forced to perpetrate for our own preservation .< "Ye,s to? ,ntc'" continued Luke. "Fan Is not the same woman she was. I Intended thnt she should perish with James Greene, but her cunning baffled me. Since then she thluks she must tell of the scene to all who know notli lug of It. That desire Is increasing in her heart. If we send her away she might tell of the affairs of Luke Ham mond, and then?ruin to us! Besides, we should need another In her place] and already we have too many accom plices. Let that name that you have written remain upon the floor. Watch Fan when she reads It." "She will not understand It," said Nancy; "she has often told me she has forgotten how to write and read." "Hhe may have been lying." "If so," said Nancy, "seeing that name there she will connect It with our presence hero, suspect and leap to a conclusion at once." "You talk as If she was In tho full swing and sway of her reason. You forget she 1b half crazy, and though 'tie said crasy peiple are extremely ounntng, they cannot reason, or, ft they do, not long in a single, connected train of argument. Besides, X the asks of It we are not to sec It?let her think It a vision of her own." "And If she proves to beour mother?" "Proof is Impossible. We can only conclude, Imagine, suppose, unless she avows that she Is Ellen Elizabeth, once the wife of " He pointed at the name written on the white matting In blood red lines. "And then, Luke?" "And then- and then?well, we will talk about that afterwards." said Luke, placing a piece of gold In the centre of the great I) of the name. "Why put that money there?" "That she may And the name and not be told to look for It," said Ham mond, with a grim smile of cunning. "Old Fan can smell gold as a rat smells cheese." "You are lavish with your money." "My money!" laughed Luke. "lienry Elgin's money, and I use It to gain the whole!" Here Kate Elgin advanced and said In a plaintive voice: I leap? tell mo If James Oreene has fllim I aft ylek apfl rfW mfft him. When be cornea let ae M Mm.* "Certainty." said Hammond.

"60 much the better." eald Ham mond. "But I hear Daniel rolling Henry Elgin hither. Remember that 1 cannot hare my eye on old Fan; watch her yourself." "I will," said Nancy, aa Daniel rolled the lnralld'a bed before the door of the ante-chamber. Henry Elgin waa lying upon It with an expression of scornful apathy upon hla pale and wasted features, but when his bed waa baited ao that his eyes could aweep through the ante-chamber Into the white and gold, and aa he yaw hla beloved child sitting In a chair fac ing him be utter, a cry of mingled joy and anguish. 'Kate; my darling! dear daughter!" aald he, as Hammond held a lamp near Kate Elgin's., face to show the father the beloved features, all wan, worn and wasted. She raised her eyes to his for a second only, then said to Hammond, but looking at old Fan, who stood behind her father: "I thought you were leading Jamea Greene to me." Old Fan shuddered, and looked be hind her, aa If she expected to see James Greene rushing at her from the deep, dark well. "Merciful powers!" cried Elgin, "my ehlld does not know me! She is mad! Kate began to sing a sad and mourn ful song, but laughed wildly ere abe finished, and said: 'This Is too sad foV a bride to alng." "Luke Hammond!" cried Elgin, rais ing himself upon his elbow, "msy heaven blast your soul for this work!" "Ilenry Elgin," said Hammond, blame your own obstinacy. You are the cause of this, and I tell you that until you obey my desires Catharine Elgin tshall suffer." "Oh. merciful heaven!" groaned tho unhappy father, "take me ? let Thy wrath fall upon my bend?the sins of my youth merit Thy punishment?but spare my child!" "Of what use are your prayers?" sneered Luke. "Your own hand can end all this punishment you speak of." "I pray you let me embrace my child," said Henry Elgin. His voice, so sad, low and mournful, seemed to touch some chord of re membrance In poor Kate's mind, for she suddenly burst into tears. Hammond hesitated, for old Fan was creeping Into the white and gold apart ment, and he longed to watch her. He glanced towards Nancy Ilarker. Nancjr sat near the bed, her hand hiding her eyes, but Luke knew those wWe riveted upon thb movements and features of old Fan. "I pray you to suffer'mc to embrace my child," repeated Elgin. Hammond took Kate by the hand and led her towarda her father. 4 Daniel," said Hammond, fearing the scene might soften even the stony heart of his accomplice, "go to my li brary?here Is the key?get writing ma terials ready, and when I call for them bring them hither." Daniel nodded, took the key and de parted. Hammond had made a good selection of a villain, for Daniel's heart was as hard as his own. "My child, my Katy?my poor girl!" said Elgin, taking the cold, damp hand of his daughter in his own and press ing it to his Hps, "do you not recognize your beloved father?" Kate seemed deaf, blind and dumb to all around her. She shed many tears, but her eyes were fixed upon vacancy. "She docs not know you," said Luke. "Blame yourself, Henry Elgin." "Liar! Monster!" said Elgin. He gazed with tearful eyes upon his child, who stood passively by the bed, while Luke Hammond turned his head aside to watch old Fan. Fan had reached the doorway of the white and gold chamber, had crouched down near the door. Suddenly she spied the coin on the floor, laughed gleefully, and rcached her hand forth to pick it up. As sud denly, and with a sharp cry, she start ed back aud stood as erect as she could. Luke moved from the doorway of tho hall eager to watch. To be continued. In Honor of Taft Party.
