'You coward You cor ' No words ean tell the concentrated tone of her low, level voice. 'You have said it and now here me. This ia your hour â€" miue will come And here, before Heaven, bj my dead fathers memory, I swear to be revenged.

She piiuted to the door. It was the most theatrical thing imaginable. Uis courage rose again. She did not mean to spring upon him, after all He laughed, a low, jeering laugh, with hand on the duor. •Katherine, he said, *do go on the stage. You'll be an ornament to the ^irofession, aud will turu au honest penny That Bjeech, that attitude, that gesture, that tone were worthy the numorlal Kacheal herself. With tlie stage lamps, and an appixpriate costume, a speech half so melodrama tic would bring down the house. Aud if you die, yoiiU haunt me!

Think over my proposal, my dear, and good-night.' He looKcd back at her oncd as he stood there, tlie leaping firelight fuU on her white face aud black robe, and as he saw her then, he saw her sleep- ing or waking all the rest of his life. Tlieu the door closed, and Kathei-ine was once more alone, CHAPTER XVL BEFORX SnONIGHT. The hours of the evening wore on. Sir Peter dangerfield shut himself up iu the lower rooms, on the watch, how ever, f r any sound upstairs. He had his revenge â€" he had olfered one of proudest girls in England the most deadly insu.t a man can offer a w.:- luau. It was tlie hour of his triuiuph but iu the midst of all he felt str;uigely nervous aud uucaKy. 'Dead or alive I will have my re- veuge.' The oniiiiious word shaunted him. In the mouth ot other girls they would have been melO-dramatic and meani;-gless, but Katherine Danger- held was not like other girls. She meant them, aud woidd move heaven and earth to compass her euds. In her pretty wax-light, ciimson- huijg room, Katherine stood, long and motionless, where he had left her her loosely clasped bauds hung before her, her darkly brooding eyes never left the fire. Her face kept its white, changeless calm â€" her lips were in that hard, resolute, bitter line. Ihe liouorous clock over the stables striking eight awoke her at last from hor trance. She startcil up, crossed the room, like one roused to a deter- mined purpose, and rang the bell. Nmon came. 'I'm going out, Ninon â€" I am going to Castleford. it may be close upon midnight when I retiuru, and the houB*. will probal'ly be shut up. Wait for me at the door iu the southern turret, and when I kuocK l«t me m.' 'But, mademoiselle,' the girl cried,; 'to Castleford so late, aud on foot and alone ' 'I don't mind the lateness â€" no one will molest me. For the walk, I can do it in an hour and a quarter. Do as I bid you, Ninon, and say nothing to any one of my absence.' The French girl knew her mistress too well to disobey, but she hngered for a moment at the door, looking back wistfully. She loved this young impetuous mistress, who scolded her vehemently one iustuat and made up the next by a present of her best silk dress. She loved her, as all the ser- vants in the bouse did^ And never so well as now. 'If â€" if â€" oh Mademoiselle Kather- ine, don't be angry, but if you would only let mo go with you 1 The way is so long and so lonely, and coming home it wUl be so late. Mademoisel- le, I beseech you let me go too 1' 'You foolish childâ€" as if I cared for the lateness and loneliness. It is only happy people who have anything to fear. All that is passed for me. Go. Ninon, and do precisely as I tell you if you are still so silly to have any love left for such as I.' The girl obeyed reluctently, hover- ing aloof on the landing. Iu five minutes the door opened and Miss Dangerfield.wrapped iu a velvet mantle and wearing her little black velvet hat, appeared. 'You here still, Nmon I Do you know if Mr. â€" Sir Peter Dangerfield'â€" she set her lips hard as she spoke the name â€" 'is any where iu the passage below ' 'He is in the library, mademoisel- le.' 'So much the better â€" we shall not meet, then. Lock my door, Ninon,and keep the key imtil my rettim.' She ghded down the stairs as she spoke, dark and noisless as a spirit. She met no one. Sir Peter was bui^ over papers, the servants were in their own quarters, the house was more silent than a tomb. Softly she open- ed and closed the ponderous portico door and flitted out into the night. It was cold and clear and starlight, the moon had not arisen. In tiiat light no one she met would be likely to recognize her. The January wind blew keen and cold, and she drew her far-lined velvet closer about her, and qped on with swift, light, eUatks stepe. The walk was tmspeakab'.e lonely, lentil the lights of the town gleamed forth. UiroQ^ the starry darkness she dUwtiBMt»««L Sbebadwslkad so rapidly that she was oofe of breath and in. a glow of warmth. Bbe slack- ened her paoe now, making for a deserted back street, and pasing finally before the quiet, roomy, old- fashioned hostelry lm«wn as the Silver Boae. 'Does a lady named Mrs. YaTasor lodge here ' The landlord of the Silvtr Rose started tc his feet as the soft accents fell upon his ear. The next moment he was bowing low before the slender, black robed figure and the two grave, gray eyes. The heorine of the day, the talk of the town, the reputed daughter of the late Sir John Dangerfield, stood be- fore him. 'Yes, Miss Katherine. Please come m bout of the cold. Mrs. Vavasor does lodge here, but at present she hap- pens to be bout.' 'Will she soon return ' 'Well, Miss Katherine I ci.uldn't say, but I think it likely. She don't hofteu be bout heven as late as this. If you would please to come in and wait,' looking at her doubtful'y and pausing. 'If y u will show me up toher room I will wait ' the young lady answered. '1 must see her to night. If y m knew where she was yiu might send." The landlord shook his head. 'I don't know. Miss Dangei-field. She goes hout very seldom and never stays long. This way,- if you please.' He held a candle alotf, an 1 led the way up-stairs, and flung open a door on the lauduig above. 'This be Mrf. Vavasor's sittiu'-ioom Take a seat by the "fire, Miss Kather- iue, aud I dessay she'll be h.alloug 800.1.' He went out and cbscd the door. Katherine stood in the ceutro of the room and lookiiig about her with a certain amount of curosity iu her face. The riom was fiir.iished after the stereotype fashiou of such rooms. A lew Freuch novels scattered about were the only things t botokcu the iiidividuahty of the occupant. The door of the chamber opened from thi:^ appartment stood ajar, aud looking in with the same scai'chiug gaze sume- thiug iamiliar caught the girl's ee at once. The bed was an old fashicuicd four- ).K)3ter, hung unwholesomely with cur- tains. Beside this bed a little table, scattered over with dog-e;ired novels. Parisienne fashiou books, bonbou- uieres, baud mirrors, and other wo- manly httter. lu the centre stood an Indian bi.x cf rare be.uty aud work- maii.ship. Ka'herme recognized it iu a m luent. It was one of hers, a fare- well gift from a mihtiuy friend wheu leaving India. She remembered how more than once Mrs Vavasor had ad- mired it among the other Indian treasures in her room, Imw all at once it had vanished mysteriously, aud now here it wasâ€" Katlieriue's short upper lip curled scornfully. 'So,' she saii.1, 'you are a thief as well as »u iutnguaute, au adventuress. You have stoleu ray box. Let us see to what use you have put poor little Ensign Brundou's gift." She walked deliberately into the sleeping room and took up the casket 1^ closed and locked with a secret spring she touched it and the lid flaw back. It coutaiued a slim packet r-i letters tied with ribbon, and an old fashioned miniture paiuted on ivory, ill a case of velvet ornamented with seed pearls. Iu wery nature there are depths of evil that come to li^ht under the in- fluence of adversity. Who is not vir- tuous uutempted who is not houora- able untrie " Thedaiksidoof Kither- iue's nature, that might have lain dor inaut aud uususpeeted even by herself for ever in the sunshine of prosperity, was assertiuj; itself now. She dehbe rately read tie address on the letters. The paper was yellow with time, the ink faded, but the bold, firm masouhuc hand wa perfectly legible still. Mil* HarrUt Lelarclieur, 35 Rosemary Place, Kenshigton, â€" that was the address. She turned from the letters, pressed the spiiug of the picture case, and looked at the portrait within. Like the letters, time had faded h, but thx Dold masculine, boyish face smiled up at her with a brightusss that even a score fo years could not mar. It was the eager, handsome, beardless face of a youth. 'A brave, gentlemanly face,' Kathe- rine thoufht. 'What could a mau like thie ever have to do with her Is this the lever she spoke of, from whom my mother parted her ' Are these letters from him Was her name Harriet Lelarcheur. instead of Haruau You may keep my Indian box, Mrs. Vavasor, and welcome, aiid I will keep Its contents.' With the same steady deliberation she put the letters and pictu^ e in her pocket, aud walked back into the oth- er room. There- was a hard light iu her eyes, au expression on her fac not pleasant to see. 'Ou the road I am walking there is no tuniius back. To acuomplifih thf aim of my life I must do to uih th as I hi.vt* been done by. Mrs. Vavasor sb^U fiud me an apt pnpd. Ah â€" at lut I here she u.' She turued aud faced the door. As Hhe did so, it was thrown iiupctuonsly open, and the woman she hated stood before her. It was Af re. Vavasor's last ni£-ht in Castleford her last night she had made up min'i, for ever. It was all over. The romance, the revenge, and the triumph, of her life were finisheil aud done. She had wrought out her vendetta to the bitter end. Her price had been paid twice over. With twenty thousand pounds as her fortune, she would return to Pans, lauucli ont into a life of splen- dour, and end by marrying a title. 'I aa still young still handsome by gaslight,' she mused, standing Se- fore the mirror, and sarreying herself critically. 'I am one of those fortu- nate W3men who wear well aud light up «ell. Tlie French are right in •aymg that you can't tell a woman from « gnat by lamplight. Wit'4 ray twenty thousand pounds, my know- ledge of this wicked world, my host of friends, what a !ifie lies before me in my vM»4elirhtfal ei^ «f â- jashios.â€" Yes. to-morrow I will go there m no- thing to linger in this stopid, plodimg •OQotrv towB for longer â€" anleas -an- lesa â€" it be to sea her in her downlall.' She paocd softly np and dcwn ihe littl* sitting mom. The hoar was early twilight, an hoar Mrs. VsTanvr hated. Hers were no tender twilight memories to tiome with the misty â- tars- Oaant speoires of crime and shame, and poverty haantsd horribly the dark record that lay behind this woman. 8othe curtains were drawn, and the lamp lit, and the firelight flickered on the masses of braided black hau: and the trailing robe of wine silk. 'I should like to see her in the hour of her downfall, 'she i-epeated. 'Shonid like to see her mother s daughter in the poverty and pain I have felt. And I shall one day, but nut here. Some- how, I am neither superstitieus nor » coward, bat I feel half -afraid to meet that girl. I can see her now, as she eaoie giidine forward in that i^iostly way in her bridal dress, that face of white stone, aud those wild, wide eyes. Ah I my lady I my lady I In the hour of your triumph how littld you dreamed that my day would come too.' She walked softly up and down, a subtle and most evil smile on her dark •mall face. The striking of the little clock on the mantel aroused her it was eight, aud she had an errand in Caiitleford before all the .hops closed for the night. She put on her bonnet, and wrap- ped herself in a large fluffy shawl, aud tripped away. She was barely iu lime to reach the station whither she was bound before the shopkeeper locked his door. She bade him good night iu her sweetest tones, aud walk- ed homeward glancing up at the great winter stars gleaming m the purple, bright sky. 'And Sir John is dead, and Sir Pet.er reigns f Sie transit gloria mundi â€" Poor little pitiful wretch I It was like wringing his yeiy heart's blood to part with his beloved guineas to me yesterday. I wonder how he aud iry haughty Katheiiue, my queen uu- crowued, get ou together up at the great house, and I wonder how my handsome Gaston does this cold Janu- ary night. Ugli I She shivered un- der her furred wraps. She was a chilly little woman.' 'This beastly British climate I And to tuiuk, that but for me she would be far away iu fair foreign cUmes by this time, en- joying her honeymoon, the bride of a man she adored. Yes, 1 may go no revcuge was ever more completn than mine.' She was singing softly to herself as she ascended the stairs. Everything had gone so well. She had had her veugeuuce aud made her fortune at one clever blow, after to night a long vista o: J "irisian pleasures and Parisian life floated before her iu a rosy mist. With the opera tune ou her lips, she opened her door and stood face to lace withâ€" Katherine Dsngcrfirld. She stood stock still. The song died on her lips the sudden swilt palur that Overspread her face showed through all the pearl puwdfr she wore She had said she was no coward, and she wss not, butin this hour she stood afraid to the very cure to face this girl she had wrouged. Katherine had risen and stood be- side her, aud Kuth nue was the first to speak. 'Come in, Mrs. Vavasor, the room is your own. Aud you need not look such a picture of abject terror. I haven't come here to murder you te- night.' Her voice was perfectly clear, per- fectly steady. An angry siiilenness came to the elder woman's relief. She came in, closed the door, aud faced defiantly ber foe. 'This is a most unexpected pleasure, Katherine Dangerfield. To what do I owe it ' 'And as welcome as unexpected, Mrs. Vavasor, is it not To what do you owe it Well, there are wo men alive â€" or girls if you will, for I am only a girl â€" who would have given you back death for less ruin than you have wrought on me. Oh, yes, Mrs. Vavasor, I mean what 1 say â€" death But I am not of that sort I am one of the pacific kind, aud I content my- self by coming here aud only asking a few questions. I perceive there was no time to lose. 1 heu: yeu leave Castleford to-morrow.' 'I do.' The widow's thin lips were shut in a hard, unpleasant line now, and her voice was sullen. 'Permit me to add that I am in somewhat of a hurry, aud that the hour is late. I must pack before I retire. I quit Oastleiord to-morrow by the very first train.' 'Ah Naturally, Castleford can't be a pleasant place for you to remain in. You ara not popular litre at pre- sent, Mrs. Vavasor. 1 will not detain yon long. Of course it is at your own option whether you answer my ques- tions or not,' 'Of course. What ean I do for you. Miss Dangerfield ' She threw herself into a chair, stretched out her daintily booted feet to the fire, and looked across with the same defiant face at her enemy. And yet her heart misgave her. That colorleus face, with its tense, set expression, i's curious calm, frigh- tened her more than any words, any threats could have done. Katherine turned I.er grave eyes from the fire, clasped her hands together on the lit- tle table between them, and leaned slightly f rwvd as she spoke. Miss Dangerfield is not my name. You are the only one who knows. Will you tell me what it is ' •Noâ€" decidedly.' 'That is one of the questions you will not answer. Here is another Is my father alire T 'He is." 'My Mother is dead â€" really dead ' 'As d-ad as Queen Anne, Mies Dangerfield. I suppose we may as well continue to call you so to the last, lax eonreoiOi^s soke. Yoar mother is dead aud" Katheruis, you have been broltgkt up a Christian and all that, uud yon ought to know. D you euppose the dead soe what is going on in this reding, neking little flole atomni B s e ags o if tbsy do, i stn- esrsly hope yoiu Ists lamented mater- nal parsot is looking down npop yoo and DM this mooisnt.' 'Yoa are a gootl bater. Mr*. Vara- so. Now, I ehoold lika to know what my mother ever did to yoa to inspire saeh deep, and bittsr, and letting hate. Yon hated her aliye, you Late her dead, and yoa visit that hate, a* bitter aa ever, years and yeais after, upon her child. I don't blame you, mind I don't bay I would not do the same myself, under certam cireum- •tancee only I am Tory ourious to know al! about it.' Mrs. Vavasor looked at her doabt- fuUy. ' You hate,' she said, 'and yoa talk to me like this, yon who sit here so quietly, and speak like this after all the trouble and shame that would drive most gurls mad. I don't think you know what 'hate' mean ' The shadow tf a Bi..ile came over Katherine's face. She looked silent- ly across at the speaker for an mstant, that slow, carious smile Her only an- swer. 'We won't discus that,' she said. 'Perhaps I cams of a weak aud pusil- lanimous race, and there is so much of the spaniel iu my nature that I am ready to kiss the hand that hiti hard- est. Never mind me. Time is pass- ing, Mrs. Vavasor; do one generous thing to your enemy at the last i- tell her something more of her c wu story. You have had full aud corajUete re- venge you can afford to be magani- mouB now.' The perfect G03lne8s of this -unex- pected address wou its end. Mrs. Vavas3r. plucky herself.admireJ pluck iu others, and all women, good orbad, act on impulse. 'You are a cool hand,' she sid.with something of admiration lu hor tone, 'and I may tell you this; you are of no weak or cowardly race, the blood that flows in your veins has been bitter, bad blood in its day. And you would like to know something more of your mother Her eyes turned t!:ought- fully upon the fire, her miud wander- ed back to the past. 'I can s.e her now standing before me as plainly as I used to sea her twenty years ago, tall and stately. You are like her, Kath eriue the same graceful, walk, the fa(!e at ouc^ proud-looking arid plain- looking; the dress of black aud orange, purple or crimson, she had a passion for bright colors, and the dark red flowers she used to wear in- her hair. Yon are like her, and a little like your father, too his way of srai'iug and speaking at times. You are most like him now as you tit there so quiet, so deep, so resolute. Katherine, jou will make your way in the world, I think women like you always da. Will you go on, Mrs. Vavasor? Once more never miud me.' Mrs. Vavasor laughed all her airy easy self again. 'And you are realy anxious like tins to kuow why I hat«d â€" why 1 still hate your dead mother Well, I'm in the humor to gratify you to nighty J have locked the past so closely up for such a length of time, that it is something of a relief and a pleasure to uulook it to-nig.it. But to think I should tell it to you. These things come about u queerly life is all so queer such a dizzy, whirling merry-go round, and we all jumping jacks, wUo jast dance as our strings are pulled. And thfj call us responsible beiug.si and they tell us we cau shape our, owu lives I Why, look you, I might have been a good woman a rich womaii a m.-i- del British matron sitting at the huad of a husband'stab'e bringing up children in the way they should walk going three times every Sunday to church, visiting the poor of the parish, distributing tracts aud blaa- kets at Christmas, and dying at last full of yciirs, and good works, and having my virtues inscribed in letters of gold on a granite shaft. I might have been all this, Mi!8 Dangerfitjld, and 1 wanted to be. but that dead mother of yours stepped forward, in- terposed her wand of authority, and lo I to-day, and for the past eishteen years, I have been a Bohemian houseless, pennyless, reputationless. Now. listen, hero is the story. No names, mind no qtistions when I have done. All you are to know I will tell you. Your hither lives you have hosts of relatives alive for tbat matter, but I don't mean you shall ever see or kuow auy of theiu.' • She sank back iu her chair, played with her watch chain, looked at tlut fire, and told her stor^ in ra^ud words.
