r. led died on tha night air, he oanght
the arm of hi* would-be aaaasain are
he oonld receive another and more
’ dangerona throit from the weapon that
gleamed in the moonlight.
"Aha, my ladyl” he cried in a roioe
not good to heat. “So you wqpld at
tempt to take my life, would you? Ton
shell pay dearly for tliia, mark my
Wordet You are clever, I admit, but
. mot clever enough to rid youraelf of
‘Carlo* Monteri. Had yon succeeded
in your design to oommit murder, you
would not have been free twenty-four
hours. I had oause enough for revenge
before. Now I have more. ”
She stood there, powerless to move,
ao tight was his grasp upon he&. arm.
* He took the dagger from her haild and
placed it in his pocket.
"Well, what have you to say fpr
yourself?” ha asked.
"Only this,” she replied in hoarse
tones: "I’m sorry that I didn’t suo-
oeodl"
"You are, eh? Well, that goes with
out telling. And to think that I did
you a great service to-day," be said,
t » with a harsh laugh.
“You did me a service I” she sneered.
“It would be a oold day when you
would do that, unless it would be to
further your own designs. ”
“We’ll take that for granted," be
said.
"Well, what service did you do mo?"
rfhe asked, in incredulous and angry
tones.
“What would you say if I told you
that you had failed in your other at
tempt to oommit murder as you did
in this?” be asked, in triumphant
tones. •
; ' "What do you mean, Carlos Mon-
. t*ri?”
“I mean that BretaDantonis alive,”
be returned.
“What!" she exolaimed.
"I repeat,” said he, “that Breta
. Danton is alive and well.”
"You are mad! Do'you think you
oan make me believe any such story bb
that?”
“Well, it’s so, whether you believe
it or not. I met her to-day on the
train bound for Brentwood Fork, and
but for me, you would have stepped
down and out by this time—perhaps
bean iu the hands of the law.”
"Carlos Monteri, are you speaking
the truth?" ns doubts entered her
mind as to whether or not Breta Dan-
ton might hove been rescued after all.
“Yes, I’m speaking tho truth,” he
returned.
"Where is she, then?” she asked.
“At present she is looked up in the
house of a certain friend of mine,
where she will remain until I seo flt'to
give her freedom. But seo here, hand
over that money. You have failed in
your desigu; so if you don’t want ex
posure pass over the greenbacks. ’’
“Here, then! Take it, and may it
do you muoh good! I have not a oent
in the world now,” she said, as she
took the notes from her pocket and
hauded them to him, with a look that,
if looks oonld kill, would have felled
him dead on the spot.
“Oh, well, the Brentwoods have
enough and to spare.”
‘ ’Do you think F would ask them for
money?” she asked.
“No. Take it without asking." he
returned, with a short laugh.
"Why don’t you say: ‘Stealit,’and
be dono with it," she retorted.
“As you will. It would not be the
first you had stolen," he said, as he
pocketed the money.
“Dp you think that I would steal
from Erio Brentwood?”
“Who is Erio Brentwood any more
than any one else? Oh, I say!” as an
amusing, thought crossed his mind.
"You are not sweet on him, are you?”
“That is not your affair. He is a
gentleman, while suoh as.you are not
fit to montion his name," she replied
angrily.
“And you also,” he put in.
"You will keep that girl locked up
—if she really is alive?" she asked,
abruptly ohnnging the subject.
“Yes ; as long ns you domy bidding.
Refuse to os I desire, and I’ll bring
her here to Erio Brentwood, with
whom you are in love, nud tell him
who and what you nre. Now go; that
is all to-night, AVhen I want you
again I’ll find a way to apprise yon of
the fact. And take my .hdvioe and
make no more attempts iu the same
direction that you did to-night. After
all,” he said as a parting shaft, “you
are glad that I came back, are you
not?” And with a low chuckle he left
her and made his way back to the farm
house where he had procured a room
and board.
Hastening baok to the park, a look
of bafiled rage on her handsome, dark
face, the girl who had represented her
self as Breta Danton was in the act of
entering the side-door, when she al
most ran against a man—Erio Brent
wood.
CHAPTER IX.
DOOTOB MONTFORD. INTERCEDES.
As Erio Brentwood came face to face
with the girl who he thought had re
tired an hour before, he gave a start
and exolaimed in surprise:
“Why, Breta! What are you doing
out at this hour? I thought you had
retired.”
"So I had, she answered, in a soft
voice; "but I had snoh a severe head
ache that I came out to see if the night-
air would relieve me. I feel ever so
much better; but see how nervous I
am!” holding out to him her hand,
whidh, upon taking it in his, he found
to be trembling.
"So you are,” he returned, letting
go her hand, whioh she wished he
would retain in his.
An electric thrill passed through her
at his touch, and she knew that it
meant love. Every day and hour that
she spent at Brentwood only added to
the passionate love he had awakened
in hey heart at the first glimpse of his
handsome, high-bred face; while he,
she knew, entertained no suoh feeling
for her. Sho determined that she
would win him.
"If only CaMoswereoutof my way!”
she thought to herself:
“You were unwise, Breta, to go out
alone at this hour. Who knows but
some tramp may be lurking around
the woods beyond the grounds.”
“I did not think of that," she re
plied. "I shall lie down now and see
if I cannot get a little rest. Oood
night, Erio,” again holding out her
hand.
He could not refuse to take it, but
every time their hands met an un
pleasant sensation would steal, over
him, and with it, his doubts of her
sincerity returned.
As she passed through the door and
up to her apartment, she thought to
herself: "It was lucky that he didn’t
walk down to the gate, or he would
have seen me outBide the grounds.
What excuse oonld I have made
then?"
While ‘Erio Brentwood was asking
himself: “JVas she speaking the
truth? ' This is the seoond- time she
has been out alone. I saw her last
night, after she exoused herself from
the drawing-room, walking through
the grounds, but I forbore following
her, lest she would think that I was
watching her movements, when I
merely came out, as I did to-night, to
enjoy a cigar before retiring. But it
«eems odd that she Bhould go out
alone, when most girls would feel
timid in doing so. Last night she
certainly did not oome out on account
of a headache, for she was walking as
if she was in a great hurry. Suppose
—but, pshaw! I am lett'ing my im
agination run away with hie. Why
do I doubt her, after all?” he said, as,
throwing away his half-smoked cigar,
he entered tho housS and repaired for
his own room.
The following morning Erio was
surprised to receive a telegram from
New York whioh read:
"Dill Breta Danton arrive Bate? riease
answer Immediately." *
and was signed:
"John Montfoiid, M. D.
"Address, No. 852 Broadway.”
“This is strnugo,” he murmured.
“Who is John Montford, M. D. ? And
why should he wish to know about
llreta Danton? I must ask her who he
is. Sho said that she knew no one iu
America. He must have been some
friend she knew in Italy. But tnrn it
which way you Will, it seems odd that
ho should? inquire about, her arrival af
ter she haB been here for more than a
month.”
Ringing tho boll, he inquired if Miss
Dauton hail arisen.
“No,sir," returned one of tho house
maids who lind answered the bell.
"Oh, well," he said toliiinBelf, "I’ll
go to the station and answer the tele
gram, at any rate. She oan explain
afterward. Whoever Dr. Montford is,
ho evidently is anxious to know of Miss
Danton's safe arrival, so I’ll not koop
him in suspense.’’
Half an hour later Doctor Montford
reoeived the following:
"Breta Danton arrived safe.
"Emc Bubntwood.”
"Ah!” the dootor said. "I feel
more at rest now. Somehow or other
I couldn’t feel satisfied until I knew
the child was safe with her friends. I
told her to telegraph me as soon as
Bhe reached the station, but I dare
say she forgot it. I feared that she
might miss her way, being a stranger,
and had it not been for my duties, I
would havo accompanied her myself.
And," he added, “I mean to letOerald
Dnnton know that he has a grand
daughter living of whom he may well
be proud, and that it is his duty to
seek her and take her to his luxurious
home, which is her proper plaoe. Al
though Ronald was wild and would
have his own way, he treated me un
justly. And now that the poor boy is
dead, he should not extend his malice
to his granddaughter. I don’t really
believo he would, did he know that
Ronald left a child. Ho used to be
good-hearted enough whon wo were
boys together, and I never could un
derstand whnt prompted him to turn
his only son adrift. But that's all
past, beyond recall. Nevertheless, I
intend to inform him of his duty to
ward Ronald’s child. Hho would
never appeal to her grandfather, and I
admire the pride which prevents her
doing it. The only conrse to pursue
is to take matters iu njy own hands
and see that the ohild is not. cheated
of her proper position in the world.
No doubt, I'm a meddling old curmud
geon; but the poor little orphan has
found her way into my heart, and if
Gerald Danton is the man I think
him, he will not refuse to take her in
to his heart and home.”
So saying, he seated himself at his
desk and penned the letter to his old
friend, stating that his granddaughter
could be found at Brentwood Park,
CECIL DONIPHAN.
In a luxuriously-appointed drawing
room of one of the grandest mansions
of which New York could boast, being
a portion of the estate known far and
wide as Bavensmere, an old gray
haired man sat with an open letter in
his hand and a startled and agitated
look on his face, whioh told that some
thing unusual had happened.
Ringing a bell, which was answered
almost immediately, he spoke, in an
unsteady tone:
"John, tell Mr. Ceoil to come here
as soon as possible, as I wish to speak
with him on a matter of utmost impor
tance. ”
Yes, sir!” and the servant disap
peared to do his master's bidding.
It was not long before the door
opened, and in stepped a fine speci
men of manhood as far as outward
looks could tell. His handsome face
had only one fault, and that was the
sinister look of his eyes, which never
seemed to rest long on one object.
“You sent for me, unole?” he quer
ied, in a soft voice, whjch reminded
one of a woman's rather than that of a
man of his physique.
'Yes, Cecil, my boy, I wish to speak
to you concerning this letter I just re
oeived from an old friend. I’ve had a
shock!”
Not money troubles,. I hope," ex
claimed Ceoil Doniphan, hastily.
“Oh, no! Nothing about business
matters. Here, take this ldtter and
read it.”
Cecil took the letter and began to
read it, but stopped with an exclama
tion of surprise.
"Bo Ronald had a ohild and never
apprised you of the faot. Pshaw!
Uncle, this is some fraud I"
“You forget, Ceoil, that ns Ronald
and I hold no communication what
ever, that it is not likely ho would let
me know that he had a child,” re
turned the older man.
“Who is this man who is interest
ing himself so muoh?” asked Cecil.
“Read on, you will understand.”
Having finished reading the letter
penned by Dootor Montford, Ceoil
Doniphan turned to his unole with a
not altogether pleased expression.
.“Well, sir, what do you intend to
do? Take this girl home, here, who
may be some adventuress who knew
something of Ronald Danton’s life,
and who intends to make oapital out
of that knowledge?”
“It must be Ronald’s daughter, and
Montford speaks so confidently on the
subject that I cannot doubt. As my
old friend says, I should not extend
my malice to Bonald’s ohild, and, af
ter all, perhaps I was too harsh with
the boy,” said Gerald Danton, with a
note of regret in his tones. *
"Well, I suppose whon this girl
comes to Ravensmere, I can step down
and out," said Cecil, the sinister look
in his eyes beooming more pro
nounced as he thought what the ex
istence of Gerald Danton’s grand
daughter meant to him.
“Certainly not, my boy,” said Ger-
nld Dnnton. “Of oourse, if this is
Donald’s ohild, I will make her my
heiress; but be sure I will not forget
my dead step-brothel’s son. I know
that it will be a disappointment to
you, who have expected to be sole
lieir, but now you could not reasona-
nbly expect me to cut off my only son’s
ohild."
“Of course not, unole,” he replied
hastily, fearing that he had said too
muoh.
“Montford says she is with friends
at Brentwood Park, and I wish you to
go there and acquaint her with my
wishes—that she pome to Ravensmere.
The child scarcely knows that she
has a grandfather, I expect; but I
want you to insist on her ooming. I
would go myself, but gout, has gotten
the better of me, and I don’t feel as if
I could undertake the journey.”
“Very well! When shall I start?”
“As soon as you con get ready.”
As Ceoil Doniphan left the presence
of his uncle, an ugly look crossed his
face.
“I have a nice errand to perform,”
ho murmured savagely. “To bring a
girl hero to cut my own throat! If
that meddling old Montford had minded
his own business, Gerald Danton would
never have known that his scapegoat
son left a child. I was willing to wait
for his death, for his fortune, while
many a one would have helped him on.
And to think that, after all, this girl
should turn up to claim what I would
have fallen heir to. I wish there was
a way to get rid of her; but at presont
I see none. Let her come to Ravens-
mere. I’ll find means, perhaps, to get
wliat ought to belong to me, after all.
A weak, silly girl as sho most likely is
cannot cope with me. I must let my i
uncle think that I am perfectly satiB- f
fled with my chauge of fortune. Satis
fied!" he said, in low, hissing tones.
“Not until Ravensmere comes into the '
possession of Cecil Doniphan.” |
With a malignant look at the letter
which he still held iu his hand, And
which his.uucle had directed him to let
his granddaughter read, ‘ if she re- j
quested it, be began his preparations
for the journey to Brentwood Park.

OF THE RACE BIOT AT PHOEEIX,
SOUTH CAROLINA.
TOLBERT CALLS ON M’KINLEY.
He Tells Ills Side of the Story aod Do-
Made That the Trouble Be
Looked lata.
A Washington spaeisl ssys: The
president hss ordered federsl officials
to investigate the -condition of sflhiri
in Greenwood eonnty, South Caroline,
end to report to him se to whether fed
eral interference is warranted.
This order wae sent through the de
partment of justice Friday.
The United States marshal and the
distriot attorney ere directed to pro
ceed to Phoenix and report the facte.
The etep was determined on after s
conference of on honr between repnb-
lioen leaders of Honth Carolina and
the president.
Daring the session of the cabinet Fri
day considerable attention was devotod
to the raee troubles in the.Carolines.
The president expressed deep conoern
over the situation.
Of course, the duty of punishing the
transgressors is with the state author
ities, and as Governor Ellerbe has not
suggested that be needa aid, it is diffi
cult to see how the federal government
is going to interfere.
R. R. Tolbert, whose father and
brother were shot in the recent race
wer at Phoenix, was at the department
of justice Friday and asked for the
investigation of the riot by the federal
authorities of the state. The elder
Tolbert, as has been announced, is
now in tho state penitentiary for safe
keeping from popular violence.
, Tolbert's Story.
Tolbert ssys that the true facts of
the rioting have not been given. The
flcts are, he said, as follows:
. “I was nominated by the republicans
of my distnet. For the purpose of
making a contest before the honse,
my brother, T. P. Tolbert, agreed to
be present at the polling place at
Phoenix for the purpose'of witnessing
the affidavits of colored men who were
rejected as voters because of their in
ability to comply with the require
ments of the constitution.
“My brother took no part in the
management of the polling place,’
whioh was in the jiands of the demo
crats. He simply eat on the piazza of
Mr. Lake’s honse and witnessed the
affidavits given him, depositing these
affidavits in a box prepared for the
purpose.
“Mr. Etheridge, the white man who
was killed, was an eleotion manager at
a precinct two miles away. He left
his own preoinot and, with a party of
men, went to Phcenix. He walked up
with his party to where my brother
was sitting at a table and deliberately
kioked over the table and box in which
the certificates were. Then he assault
ed my brother.
“In a short while the democratic
voters who were in the same honse
rushed ont and commenced shooting
into the crowd. The negroes fled. My
brother, who is probably dead by now,
told me that Etheridge was killed by
shots from his own friends. My
brother did not have a weapon on his
person.”
At a late' hour Friday afternoon
Tolbert, accompanied by Solicitor
General Richards, of the department
of justice, called at the white house
and had an extended interview with
President McKinley. He related to
the president the story at his experi
ences in South Carolina, entering into
minute details of the tronble on eleo
tion day. The president listened at
tentively to the recital, bnt gave no
indication of what action,if any, might
be taken. However, he requested Mr.
Tolbert to see the attorney general and
make to him a full statement of the
situation as he viewed it.
Returning to the department of jus
tice, Tolbert bad an interview with
Attorney General Griggs, who had
just returned to the city from New
Jersey. At the oonclnsion of the in
terview the attorney general said he
would have a conference with the
president npon the matter as soon as
possible, and it would then be deter
mined what, if anything, would be
done.

The navy 1 department reoeived e
cablegram Ttiesday from CapUin Mo-
Galla, dated Nassau, stating that he
had arrived at the scene of the wreck
of the Maria Teresa with the tugs
Potomac and'Vulcan.
The first jhing that Captain Mo-
Calla did upon setting foot npon the
deck of the Teresa was to hoist the
American flaii. After a careful exam

situation upoii the rocka and a careful
consideration of the instructions from
the navy department, appreciating the
great interest! taken by the nation and .
government ill the fate of the Teresa, |
Captain McCalls says he regrets ex
ceedingly to express the opinion that ;
it is hopeless to expect to rescue the j
ship. His opinion, he says, is con
firmed by such expert engineers as
Hobson, Blow, Craven and Crittenden.
Tbe vessel Is stranded in from six
teen to twenty-one feet of water and j
rests on a rocky reef. The tide rises
and falls in the ship below the pro
tective deck. Captain McCalls says
he can best dsscribe 'the condition of
the ship generally by stating that she
is “telescoped.”

KNIGHTS OF LAI10R MEET.
Annual Convention of the Order Begin*
In Chicago With Large Attendance.
The' annual convention of the
Knights of Labor hegan at Chicago
Tnesday. Over one hundred dele
gates were in attendance, when Gen
eral Master Workman Hicks, of New
York, called the convention to order.
The proceedings will probably last a
week or ten days. The meetings are
held behind closed doors.
They Will Rpfu.e to Sian Treaty That Con
tain. Cession of Philippine..
A Paris speoial of Ttiesday says;
Tbe Spaniards deolare that their re
fusal to sign a treaty based on any
Philippine terms thus far suggested
by tho United States is irrevocable.
They say that they do not and oan-
not view the taking of the Philippines
as anything else than a wanton rav
ishment of their possessions, unless it
is accompanied by a financial consid
eration of appreciable size.
Therefore the turn of events in the
peace conference depends upon the
S urpose or the willingness of the
merican commissioners to extend
their flnanoial terms. Spanish sov
ereignty in the Philippines is now
clung to by the Spaniards chiefly as a
means to obtain financial relief, if pos
sible. ___

ings have commenced and that he
prepare his defense.
The minister of the colonies has re
ceived a cable dispatch saying that
Dreyfus is in good health.
.The decision of the court is very
significant, as ii has hitherto been
generally admitted that no innovation
shonld be introduced in the Dreyfus
proceedings.
, Questions will be drafted and posted
to Dreyfus, who will formulate his re
plies.

from Charleston with the enlisted men
formerly attached to the Teresa to the
