CHAPTER XVII.

Utterly worn out, l was just sinking
into doing sleep, when I was reused
by the hateful tones of Mr.. Porter's
voice greeting his daughter, as she sat at
breakfast in my room. Another enemy
added to the number that encompassed
me!
He quickly turned to me and began,
in his usual hypocritical shuttle, 81 hear
that it hath pleased Providence to put
you in a fair way of recovery. So you
thought to get off, Master Silas, did
you?" he said, with a satyr-like leer up
on his face; "but Judith has laid her
runaway husband safely by the heels
this time"
About IL o'clock that same morning
there came knock at the door. 1t was
the nurse; there was a whispered con-
versation, and then Judith came up to
me-I was sitting before the fire in an
easy chair-and said, quietly, Madame
Berne, the woman whom l told you was
coming to-day, is here; remember your
promise, and l will remember mine.'
In a few moments there came into
the room a tall, iron-looking woman.
Judith's father cringed, and fawned, and
leered, and snufied. But Judith stood
with her hand resting upon the table,
cold and defiant, never deigning to her
visitor even a salutation.
''And you are Silas Carstonp she
said, fixing upon me a strangely intense
look
''That is the name 1 am known by" 1
answered.
And is this woman your wifeW she
asked, pointing to Judith.
T nausod for ono uoouoapk could fool
Judith's fierce eyes were upon me; then
l answered quietly, "She is"
Madame Berne paused again, and
turned her cold glance upon her; it was
met by one as fearless as her own.
''The sum of $500 year is settled
upon you as an annuity" she said, again
turning to me as the door closed upon
Mr. Porter. "It will be paid you quar-
Fogle & Quick. Your wife''-there was
a strange emphasis upon the word
Communicated with me through those
were too i'll to attend at their office, 1
have come here to judge, as far as am
able, whether you are the man you pre-
tend to be-"
"Have you no wish to inquire into
your parenIaGe, Sllas! saN JuQILn,
speaking for the first time.
'It will be useless if he has," answered
Madame Berne, freezingly; che will new
er know it."
As she turned to leave the room, an
other figure appeared upon the scene
Montgomery was standing in the door
way. She started back, with look
and gesture of loathing; but the next mo-
ment drew herself up, with the same
frigid, passionless look upon her face as
before.
For a moment Montgomery stood look
ing at her with an exultant grin. You
see, we have met again." he said. ''It
seems that you and 1 cannot help get
ting mixed up with one another. Your
protege has married very old friend
of mine, Mile. Zenobia, clairvoyante, as
the bills used to say. Her father, too,
an old boon companion"
Then, suddenly changing his tone from
mockery to malignancy, he added, hiss
ing out his words, This is my work !;
but it is only the beginning Of my ven
geance. You shall feel it yetr'

was It to me now who knew that she
was my wife? Had she desired it, I
would have led her through the public
streets, and have proclaimed the fact to
every passer by. If could save Clara
by such now trif1ing sacrifice, it would
be at least some reparation for my cruel
conduct to her.
When our bargain was concluded, she
lay down upon the soft; l still sat in
the same position upon the bed, with
my elbows resting upon my knees and
my face buried in my hands; and thus
the broad daylight saw me as it tried to
struggle through the curtained window.

CARRIED CREW OF TWELVE.
Little Hope for Safety Of Big Barge
Madeira.

Cleveland, Dec. THE Pittsburg
Steamship company, owners of the
big barge Madeira, had received no
tidings of the missing vessel up to
noon. The Madeira was in tow of the
steamer Edenborn when the great
storm of Tuesday overlook the two
boats on Lake Superior and they be-
came separated. The Edenborn went
ashore on Split Rock and it is be-
lieved that the Madeira foundered.
She carried crew of twelve men
and was in command Of Captain J. H.
Dissete of Buffalo. A number of other
vessels belonging to the Pittsburg
Steamship company have not been
heard from since the storm began, but
officials of the company are inclined
to think they all weathered the gale
with the possible exception of the
Madeira. So far as known the Pitts
burg Steamship company has lost six
boats as result of the recent storm

TORPEDO BOAT RAMS LAUNCH
ATTEMPT TO MURDER JAP PEACE
DELEGATION AND DESTROY
PORTSMOUTH TREATY.

Seattle, WASH, Dec. The at
tempt to murder the peace delegation
and destroy the treaty between Japan
and Russia, which was drawn up by
the plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth
and was being sent to the emperor of
Japan, was witnessed by officers and
passengers on the Dakota on the night
OF her arrival at Yokohama.
DR.. William Lopp, surgeon Of the
Dakota, in speaking Of the incident,
The whole thing happened the
night of our arrival at Yokohama. We
were lying in Mississippi bay, just
outside OF the breakwater. All the
torpedo boats and war vessels which
escorted the peace commission were
drawn up in a long line. The launch
containing the delegation and the
treaty left the warship and started for
the landing. Suddenly one of the tor
pedO boats, anchored near the end Of
the line Of battleships, slipped her
cable and started after the launch.
They made for her at a right angle
course. The people on the launch
saw the torpedo boat leave the line Of
crafts and they knew what was COM
ing The launch was slow and the
torpedo boat rushed on like a comet
Like shot from cannon she rushed
on and in a minute struck the launch,
cutting her completely in two, and
raced on into the darkness. We could
see the men struggling in the water
and clinging to the pieces Of the
wrecked boat. Launches from the bat
tleships were at once sent to their
rescue and saved all but one The
treaty also was saved"

BUYS FICTITIOUS DEED.
West Virginian Supposed He Owned
Valuable Minnesota Property.

Mankato, Mimi, Dec. 1t cost
John N. Terret, Grafton, w. Va, So,
700, the savings of years of toll, to
learn that things are not always what
they seem, that all is not gold that
glitters.
He arrived in Mankato Wednesday
with a deed to half interest in a big
flour milling plant of the Hubbard
Milling company and in the Hubbard
Palmer line Of elevators. He paid
a smooth talking stranger in Chicago
$1,000 for this deed Aug. 29, condi
toned that it was not to take effect
until Dec. 1. When it is considered
that the mill plant is valued at 5000,
900 and the elevator line has forty
elevators it will be realized how great
a bargain Terret seemed to have.
BY a curious coincidence r. D. Hub
bard, head of the firm, happened to be
in Chicago on Aug. 20, the day the
transaction took place, and his sudden
sand somewhat sensational death oc
Cured that very evening. This Terret
learned when he called at the Chicago
office of the Hubbard Milling company
this week. He Investigated further
and learned the full story, but did not
have supposition that the deed was
rot all right.
