A TEBRiBIE REVENUE.
Two men sat together in a room in one of the
flowt residence* on n fimiiiotinble New Y'ork
Htrect, on* Summer night. One of them was n,
well preserved gentleman of porlinpg fifty-Hvo
end from hit) itir and dross, it wns easy to
tell (lint lie wits used to moving in. the higher
circles of society.
The other was of nearly tlto same ago, but
tin re wns something in Ills face, anti n sort of
dr atmosphere clinging to him, like that in
dpserlblp Influence which ulwuys seems to stir
roc‘. i a book from u library, tlmt told ho was a
man whose years had been spent among bills
and ledgers,
’■ h i careless observer would have told you
’hat ...(life hail settled down Jntosueha routine
t and he 1 -i| no ambition beyond the careful
plug of his books, that his Ideas were cotv*
lined to bill and Invoice, and muting up long
columns of figures,
but the mu i ,'ul reader of nven's fares would
l " !| l ■ ".i that there was a peculiar look of
w ’-Hinc lor something In his face. Ito was bid
kg Id dme,
•> Warfield, merchant prince and host,
'' ■ and out two*glasses t f wine from the glitter,
f ecanter on the table, and motioned John
e, clerk, and visitor—by express it ad ur
font Invitation—to drink with him. A-nd they
drank silently.
Thou there was a Jang msd- painful pause.
J; bn Warfield was pale with whatever thoughts
wrro at work in his tionom. Very pule, lie
"'<• restless, and paced to and fro for many
minutes, while Jolrn Warno waited patiently for
whatever was to be said,
(Suddenly the merchant stopped before the
clock,
"You have sworn, by yjur hope of heaven,
by 'all you consider binding upon your soul, to
never reveal one word of the conversation that
takes place between ns fo-olg'U'f"
‘ Yes," answered Warno; “I j mvi , 9 woni,"
■ There Is no use in beating round the bush,”
< 'led Warfield, ills bunds working nervously,
and his face growing paler, as If he were draw-,
la j nearer to something frightful. "I tun on
tlto brink of financial ruin, Warno—you know
that."
“Yes, I know ii," answer Warne.
‘ There is only ono way out of H," said War
field, ghastly white now.
He was very near the hideous thing that
frightened h!s thoughts.
"And that way ?"
"la dbatli," answered iho merchant hoarsely,
"You don’t mean to take your own life !*’
cried the clerk, startled for a moment out of hi.;
usual composure,
"Of course not," answered Warfield. “You
know that my brother left a largo fortune to his
only child. She Bfunds between mo and that
fortune to-day. If she were dead, 1 should
come into possession of it Immediately, You
begin to understand, I think ?"
"1 think 1 do," answered the clerk, a tHfle
pale, “tt is her death that you rc.er to?"
•'Exactly, Warne. If she were to die, lam
saved. Hhe must be got out of the way. You
must do it for me. For years t have kept your
secret. None in the world, save you and l, know
who forged those drafts twenty-five years ago.
No one but you and 1 will know how Catharine
Oran goes oat of the world I will give you
ten thousand dollars when the'deed is done. Is
it n bargain?"
“It is minder!’’ cried Warne, pale ns death
“I can’t do it, (Jet someone else,"
"l cam tenet no- one else,” said Warfield; des
perately. “Do yon want to spend the remaind
er of your life in a prisonweeß ? You shall, so
help me Cod, if you ivJnsy to help me now I If 1
go to ruin, you shall go tothepunlshment I have
shielded you from, Thero is- mv risk to run.
(She is at school with my dm ghter—at a private
titntion on the seashore, titty miles, out ef
tow n. You can go down tin re—and get her
■ ul of the way easily enough, without being
detected. 1 have heard you say, time and again,
that yew believed in no hereafter. What is
there so dreadful in doing that thorn It ! s
to. rely sending her to her grave sooner than she
would otherwise go, She will bo better off de.-ul
than living,"
“She is there with- yout-daughter; you say?"
Wume’s voice sounded strange to himself,
and faraway. IMs face had.lint some of its old
apathy.
“Yes; it is a wild lonely place. You will
know her by her resemblance to mv daughter.
Is it u bargain ?”
“% is a bap-gain 1" answered John Warne,
hoarsely, rising from his seat. His eves were
iu 11 of a strange fire ; the time So- had waited
r five and twenty years was near at hand at
last.
“The wine seems io h. vo got into your head,”
h-ughed Warfield, nervously. “Will yon have
another gluts, Warne ?“
“No more, thunk you," answered the old
el-, rk. “it isn’twi n; that hasgot.iatu my bead,
A arfield ; it is somethin,; that Ims Ir-en ib. u-e a
long time. It Im roused- itsoll tn-ulgb!. Is
there anything more to be said between us?"
“No. answered Warfled. “Yon understand
my wishes 5 l<e careful, Warm', and sure !'■
“luijflt!" and the clerk. bowed himself
out.
<-Revenge !-• snoot, they say !” tie vvlispored,
* the street. li t shall liiul ii it he so. Oh,
•John Warfield, 1 have wake.' for something- t
hardly knew what tor years. 1 never dreamed
♦f rue;i a grand opportunity as this !“
A will, wet day. Tito waves screamed U
mad gttn> against the cruel reeks, and the sky
was like a pall. The galls circled in the chili
gray atmosphere, crying harshly aad discord
autiy,
•■I wonder-if sh'e will rente !”
The man who whispered this query to the
winds peered out from behind the rock where
he was hidco, anxiously. “She got my message,
T know. Poor fool 1 she thinks she is coming
to meet her lover, hut she will meet—death f*
John -Vanie shivered. Ii might have keen
with coldMl might have been with terror. Uut
he thought of revenge, and his thee was hard
nod pitiless as fate.
She came, presently ; he saw her coming down
the sandy shore, with the wind blowing j,,-ry.>!-
low hair ail about her face, and an expectant
look in her eyes. The sight of her innocent
young taco and the thought of what he was
ti ere to do struck him to the heart whh a.swJ
don sharp pain, like a dagger-thrust; but a face
ns fair as Irers cam? between him and the sight
of her, and crushed every vestige of pity out of
his heard
She [astfed the rock without seeing him. lie
came behind her noiselessly; lie threw her
cloak over her head with n sudden movement
and drew it down tightly about her mouth be
fore she could cry out; the folds of it pinioned
her arms like cords.
flo dragged her down to the wafer’s edge,
He dragged her out into Hie enic-1 waves, amt
with an iron grip upon the folds which prisoned
her so securely, he thrust her down beneath the,
flosd arid held her there.
There was a wild, fi.-roe struggle for life- and
liberty, but it wns a vain one HU hold wns
not to he shaken off. It was death to her. It
was revenge to him.
J’ret'y soon it was all over. He, dragged the
unresisting form lmek to the-shove and dropped
it on the wet sands.
Hu never stopped to look at the free beneath
the dripping garment that had shut aat the.
world for but strode away across tire sands,
a vagabond and outcast on the face of the earth
for ever move. Hut ho had had his revenge.
* * * # * *
“A telegram, sir.”
John Warfield clutched the paper with fingers
that shook like aspen-leave,*, His face whs
frightfully pule, lie tore it open and read :
“We have had news far you. A terrible no
cldent has happened, Como immediately,"
He knew who and where it was from without
looking at the signature.
Halt an hour later the southward
bore him out of the city,
An hour after that, ho wag standing at the
door of the I’ensionnat dea Demoiselles, whore
Ills daughter and niece lmd spent tire last two
years of their lives. Ho rang the bell, and
stood there In the chill gray mist of the dreary
morning, waiting with a pale and frightened
face- for what?
A hurry ol footsteps in the halt. The door
was opened by a girl with yellow hair, and a
white, tear-stained face.
“Oh, Uncle John i" she cried, and burst into
tears, “ft is ;,o terrible.”
The man’s face was ghastly with sudden ter
ror, Ills teeth chattered-so that ho could hard
ly speak,
"U—P thought it was you !” he cried hoarsely,
at last. “Where Is (Utile ?’’
lie clutched her arm so fiercely that she cried
out with pain,
"She is in the parlor," the girl answered, sob
bing. “Do you want to see her now?’’
Ho put his bauds to his head in a sort of
dazed vay. It seemed to be whirling round
and round, and he was trying to stop it.
"I—l must be a little wild,” tic said, :is if he
hardly knew what ho was saying, “(,‘eeile is in
the parlor, you say ? Is she well ? Does she
know that lain coming?
“Oh, Uncle John !’’ cried Cathriuo Oru'.i, with
a great sob, “Don’t vow know? CoeileU dead:’’
He never answered her. Ho put out his
hands, ns it to grasp somet dug to sturdy him
self hy, but found nothing ; and, with a gasping
cry lie fell face downward tu the tlnor.
* * * * * #
That afternoon this letter was put into John
Warfield’s hands:
“t> have waited for twenty five years for re
venge. You have thought that ! nr.or found
out your secret; you have thought that no liv
ing person, save yourself, knew that my sister’s
life was ruined and her heart broken by you.
Hut you were wrong. Howl learned the fact
matters not. Hut 1 swore to be revenged, Y’ou
had no mercy for your v.ethn ; 1 have had acne
for mine, Y’ou thought to end an innocent life
that stood between yon and your selfish ambi
tion. 1 have tales) an innocent Hi'.-, and sacri
ficed my son’ for the revenge that 1 have been
waiting for When yon know that Imu do no
mistake in doing what 1 hay*- done, but that !
amended tb do it from the first ns it has beet?
done, think ol the ruin you have wrought so
long ago, and say, if you can, that my revenge
is not complete."

To day John Warfield |..-oks out upon a HmK*
strip of Mod’s green earth troin Lenin i the rs
of a madman’s ceil; and towduy John Warne
wanders up and down the world, a haunted, re
