"Dw't strike me. Luke Hammond?

"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. In field and town?cursed
them everywhere and always! If It
wa'n't for the pleasure It gives me to
curse them. I'd cut my withered old
throat?I would. But about my dream

didn't hear it, but it meant that I was

me I was going to die, but that I

might meet my children?I don't want
to die?I won't. I'll stay in this house
-?nd they'll never see me, and?ha! ha!
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'

"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

asked Kate, hat eomhtog her loaf

the celling.
"Yea, I am a man.**
"Then you are not Luke Hammond,
for he la a aerpent!" screamed Kate,
fiercely, and again pacing the room, f
"She la quite crasy just now," re
marked Nancy.
"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.
