THE HAND
OF FATE
By JANE MOUNTFORT.
Nnn crept to her room after ft
8 i :- with her father and
threw herself upon the couch.
Some Inner consciousness argued
one should not wed where th-aro rrai
rn love: yet her parents were !.':.:
o uiglna this union with n man the
hnd never seen. IndeeJ, ahe had
scarcely heard of him un'.ll the read
ing of her uncle's will, when ahe
learned that hia vast estates were
left to her and her father on condi
tion that cho marry, within a year,
a distant cousin, who, since child
hood, had lived abroad.
This cousin being duly notified,
rcDlied thnt he would return to hia
native' country In six months, and
would abide by her decision.
'Rather decent or him," thought
Nan. "since of course he can care
no more for me than I for him; but.
oh, the thonplit of being traded like
cattle for a paltry house mid lot
Sorbins at the Injustice, sin
fell
Into a troubled sleep.
In her dream she seemed power
less to avert some calamity which
was overtaking her. Then In the
mlist of her despair, she felt a hand
clasp her own. It was a man's hand,
larce but well formed, with a curi
ous band of twisted gold upon the
third linger.
The strong pressure gave her cour
age, and she woke with a smile upon
her lips.
"I will be brave," she said aloud
"I will do what 1 believe to be right
whatever -lappens."
So the months slipped by until one
nliTlit, nftir an unusually unpleasant
liii-.rvlew, there came uo message ol
comfort in dreamland.
Instead, she found herself on a
lonely country road, vaguely stum
Ming not knowing why nor where
she ver.t. Shadowy forms passed
In the darkness, and almost In her
ear came the Hoarse wmsper.
Pretty good haul that trip eh,
old pal?"
Tiie n-xt moment the moon, par
tially emerging from n cloud, showed
her in its pale light, the figure of a
man, lying across the path directly
at her root..
As she bent over him, trying In
an Incomprehensible agony of sus
pense to distinguish his reatures. a
slight movement or the right arm at
tracted her attention, and she saw,
with a start of horror, that the hand
before her. though cut and bleeding,
was the hand or her dreams. The
ring was gone.
As suddenly aa It had come, the
vision vanished. Nan woke calling
aloud In her rrlght.
The realism of It haunted her
not ror a moment could she forget
that silent form In the road. In
vain she appealed to reason; at last
she bad to admit that she loved the
man of her dreams.
She told herself that, even had be
once been a reality, which was ex
ceedingly doubtful, he probably lived
no longer.
Her other self that self which
will listen to no reason cried out
that she loved him, living or dead
that she would have no other love
but him.
Then for the first time In many
days she remembered her cousin;
remembered also that the six mouths
bad passed, with no word from him
Tbo same day, passing' a pawn
shop, she was startled to see In the
ml 1st or watches, bracelets, all man
ner or second-baud jewelry, a band
of twisted gold. Surely there could
not be two rings or the same curious
workmanship. Trembling with ex
citement she requested a closer view
or the trinket.
The clerk named a price and Nan
thought a moment she had just the
sum in her purse.
In 10 minutes she had slipped the
ring on her finger and left the shop
believing hcrscir the possessor of
a valuable clue toward the Identity
or the man she loved.
'Gentleman In the parlor to tee
you. Miss Nan," said the little malJ
who opened the door.
By that sixth sense which all wo
men possess In greater or less de
gree. Nan Instantly knew who was
awaiting her.
"You are my cousin?" she said
simply by a way-or greeting.
He told how he had started to
come to her a month berore now
he lih.l been attacked and robbed In
a small town not far an ay and
how he had been nursed back to life
by a kind farmer, who had round
him. the next morning, lying In the
load, apparently lifeless.
Nan scarcely listened; she was
looking into his tjes. and thinking
there was something about this big
man not altogether unfamiliar. Then
ramo thoughts or that other. She
began nervously to remove nr
gloxes.
Suddenly he stopped bis recital
"Little cousin," he exclaimed.
"May 1 ask where you found that
ring?"
Something about the man Inspired
con H Jen re. I'efore she realized It.
Nan was telling Ibis formerly hated
suitor r iie story or the dreams, and
her fears for the man of whose very
existence she could not be sure.
Hardly had she told blm bait,
when ho caught her in bis arms, ex
claiming. "Have I really found you, dear lit
tle die&m maiden?"
And Nnn. understanding many
things ' that happy moment, took
bis big right haud In her two little
ones and pressed her Hps to the scar
red ring finger. Boston Post.
The Longest Courtship.
The longest courtship on recoru

Anna Renner, or Oberpolltx, Bohemia
They had been courting ror seventy

fatally ill, and was recently married
on bis deathbed, at the age of one

The Feminine Point of View Revealed
to the Fullest.
"The paper says," remarked XIr.
Booth, one evening, after supper, "that
the Baluria got In yesterday. The
rr.rr-rf wis calm, arid every one on
bo. ..km wu-j w-;l." He puuscd, and
locked tentatively In his wife's direc
tion. ' She krpt on with her needle
work. "Pon't you think thnt the Coopers
were foolish, my dear?" he Inquired
"No, I can't sny that 1 do," she re
plied. 'If Mrs. Cooper rclt that the
ship was going down, what could she
do except refuse to go?"
"Thai's one way of putting It," ad
mlttfd Mr. Booth, "but here la the
situation: John and bis wife and the
two girls bad all their luggage on
bo.i rd "
"Not all," Interrupted hia wife.
"There was a big trunk which hadn't
come. Be fair, James."
All right, then ; they had got them
selves on board and most of their
luggage. The ship was due to start
1 half "an hour. Suddenly Annie
clutches John by the arm In that
nervous way of hers, and says, 'John.
I've just had a premonition that this
th'.p is going down before It geta to
Europe. Take roe home, John, take
me home!'"
"Vou are perfectly heartless," in
terror.ej his wife. "V don't think An
nie wp.9 quite as fnollsh aa tbat. She
Isn't well, you knoV. and she couldn't
help feeling as she did?".
"But why didn't she tell the rest
of the passengers, tnen?" inquired Mr.
Booth. "That would have been the hu
mane thing to do.' Suppose I was in
a theatre, and knev that It was about
to burn down. Wouldn't It be my
duty to inform the audience? I should
rise, and sny, 'Indies and
"James, don't treat such a RubJ-cct
in such a frivolous manner. You lack
sympathy. You have no tact at all. I
almost feel that you've said something
like this to Annie already."
"No. not yet " ho replied, "but 1
may. it strikes me that she was
a very heartless woman. Very selfisn,
too, not to warn the others. 1 wonder
that her husband gave in to her,"
"What else could he do?" asked
Mrs. Booth.
"That's exactly the point what?
Sbo was prepared to make a scene."
Mrs. Booth nodded.
"You think that she would have
made a scene? Then I am surprised
at John surprised and shocked, I
did not realize tbat he, too, Is so
thoughtless. If ha had let her make
a scene, then the pasengers would
haw? known the Impending danger,
and no one would have gone, and the
ship"
"But the ship got In safety," said
Mrs. Booth, carried away by the
Imaginary narrative.
"So It did," agreed her husband.
"But if that had happened, It mightn't
have. You never can predict, you
know!"
Mrs. Booth regnrded him doubtful
ly, not quite knowing whether be was
In earnest or not.

Was It a Dream?

!: :. The clcrk3 and stenographers
bad gone home.
I sat In my large arm chair In my
office and gazed comfortably out Into
the streets. A cold sharp wind wag
blowing and driving sleet berore It.
My office was warm and pleasant and
I was happy In the satisfaction that
my business was prospering.
It Is pleasant, gratifying, to know
that you are growing wealthy and
to be looked upon as a business suc
cess. With these pleasant thoughts In
my mind I half closed my eyes. On
opening them I was startled to see a
pale, gaunt, ragged woman standing
before me. I was more startled be
cause I bad not seen or heard the
door open.
She locked at me blankly, show
ing neither anger, timidity, boldness,
fear; neither supplicating nor com
manding. I trembled, vainly tried to calm
myseir, and said In a chattering
whisper, "Do you need money?"
"What," she replied In a voice
that rroze my blood, "do the dead
need none, r"
"Dead," I repeated, "Dead! How
did you come to die?"
"YeB," she replied, looking at me
with her cold, awful eyes that she
never took from my face, "I was
murdered In your factory. I died of
overwork and foul air to make you
rich; so that the world would smile
on you."
"Why didn't your husband sup
port you?'' I asked, grasping at that
straw to evade her cold-blooded ac
cusation. "Birause he was killed by you. lie
was caught in a band and whirled
around the wheel until he was man
gled to death. It would have cost
four dollars to have put guard rails
around It. You called it an act of
Providence. Do you think GOD
kills people to save four dollars?"
"But," I Interposed, remembering
the ease, "you were given five hun
dred dollars."
'Will five hundred dollars take
the place of a husband's love; will
five hundred dollars care for and
protect a woman's children like their
father?"
I wished that she could take her
terrible eyes off of me.
'How much did your factory make
last year?"
'Forty thousand dollars," I re
plied, and for once did not feel like
boasting of it.
'How many lives of men and wo
men does that represent worn out;
how many days robbed from child
hood; bow much misery and sufTer-
ng does that forty thousand dollars
stand as a monument ror?"
I could not reply, but forced by
her eyes, which pierced me like a
sword, I asked this question, whlrb
I already knew the answer to: "Do
you have any children working In
my factory?"
"When you walked through the
factory to-day and saw my boy you
said to yourself tbat you would tell 1
the foreman to discbarge htm be-
cause he is getting too reeble from
overwork and lack or a mother's
care to do the work ..ny longer."
"And my daughter," sbe contin
ued mercilessly, "you took her out
of the factory and gave her work
in the office laBt week. You said
that sbe was too Intelligent to work
In the factory."
A cold sweat came over me. I
sat paralyzed In my chair and could
make no reply.
"But you said to yourself that she
was too beautiful."
I screamed and sprang to my
fret. It was dark In the room. I
had been dreaming. I rushed down
Into the lighted street.
It was so terrlblo to be alone In a
'ark room with one's conscience.
