CHAPTER I.

A BEAUTIFUL BUT DANGEROUS HEROINE.

Miss Cranston, a very accomplished woman, kept a female school near Blanlon, a quiet town in New Jersey. This place had been selected by Mrs. Blake, the mother of one of the Rival Sisters, as her lioaie, on account of the reputation of the school. Mrs. Biake made her advent in Blanton in the character of a widow who had recently lost her husband, and she brought with her a daughter ten years of age, named Hester, who was placed with Miss Cranston as a pupil.

Hester Blake was a remarkable child. iNii.s Cranston found her a curious study. "If she is not tempted, all may go well with her," thought the old lady "but if she is—" and the ominous shake of the head expressed more than words.

Mrs. Blake had fifteen hundred dollars a year, which she stated was derived from property in the South but where it was situ iteri, and iu what place she had lived before she made her advent in Blanton, was a matter of coujecture. No amount of pumping had been successful in extracting such information from either mother or daughter.

For a few years the stranger lived almost alone, for her friendsless advent among them had not inspired her neighbors with much confidence iu her antecedents but as time went on, she won upon the good opinion of those around her, and at the time my story opens, Mrs. Blake was received as a guest by the best families iu the village.

People did not trust her, but they admired and pitied her for they said "she is goodly to lookat, and she hasevidently been a sufferer in the battle of life." Ah if they had known how, and under what circumstances that battle had beeu waged, I am inclined to thiuk that the reputed widow would have found few friends or defenders in that strait-laced neighborhood.

The cottage occupied hy Mrs. Blake stool about a mile from the town. It was a comfortable house, with a veranda in front, over which flowering vines were trained, and the large yard that surrounded it was shaded by elm-trees.

She was now dreami'y regarding her daughter, who stood in front of a mirror combing out amass of black glistening hair.

The figure of the girl was modelled after that of her mother the same sinuous, elastic movement but the faces were not alike.

She suddenly turned, and facing her mother, said: The dull monotony of this place is becoming uneudurable to me. I wish to see somethiug of the world—I

must

see

it, mother." With a sigh, Mrs. Blake said "Sit down on that low chair, and try to be quiet while I speak of things I had almost determined never to reveal to you."

Hester sat down, and prepared to listen to what She had so long desired to know. Mrs. Blake at length spoke "You ask me how it happened that I was c*st off by the man I adored?—why he was permitted to wrong me so bitterly as to bring to his home another wife while I .vet lived and suffered "I must go baek to my early life, and tell you of myself before I became the wife of Armand Landry. My father was a dissipated, reckless man, who owned a small place near Le Bocage, as the Landry piantatiou wa9 called. I was his only child. I was educated in a convent thool iu France, till I was nearly eighen years old. Then my aunt took me iiome, having already arranged a marriage for me. 1 was not consulted, but I die! not rebel against it, for Claude Beltot was young and good-looking, and I preferred remaining in France as his wife, to returning to the dullness of plantation life. "My father gave me twenty thousand francs as my dower, and Bel tot expected to get much more from him. I think that prospect induced him to marry me, for I soon found that he was as indifferent to me as was to him. indifference soon merged into contempt on tuy side, and something like aversion on his. We had evidently made a wretched mistake, and we weieglad to separate hy mutual consent. I leturued to Louisiana, and Beltot went to Algeria. "When I came back to my early home

I found my father living as reckless as ever. "Among the young men who came to his house was Armand Landrv. He was tvo years young* than I, for he had not completed his twentieth ear wiieu I first met him. He soon forsook the gaming table to linger near me, and l_Well—I was mad enough to give him the heart my husband had never tried to win. I loved him to that degree that I thought life would be worthless unless I was shared with him. "Armand seemed devoted to me, but he never asked me to marry him. He knew that his proud old father would look with scorn on the daughter of such a man as my father was.

My father swore that Arnaud should yet be my husband, aud for that purpose he obtained adiVorce for me from Beltot. I was so infatuated that I cared little by what means Arnaud was to be ensnared, provided I became his wlTe. I entered into his plans, shameful as they were,

and allowed myself to be united to a man who bad beeu lured again to our house, aDd when incapable of acting for himself, was pronounced my husband by a missionary who had been so short a time in the country that ue knew nothing of the wrong he was helping to carry into effect. He was brought to the house a few moments before ihe ceremony was performed, and left immediately aiterward. "A time had been chosen when the elder Landry was absent from home. I believed that Arnaud loved me as truly asldidbim. "It was several weeks before he recovered all the natural

energy

of his mind,

and I began one©.to fear that he would be permanently injured by the drug I had permitted to be administered to him. But the time came when he fully understood the position in which he was placed, and then—-such scenes as passed between us I cannot describe. He fiercely resented the part I had takeu to entrap him into a mairiage that would be odious to his proud father, and declared that he could never forgive me.

Vainly I tried all my powers of fascination to enthrall him, and win forgiveness from him.

As soon as he was well enough to leave the house, he went off in search of his father, in spite of all I could do to detain him. His father instituted proceedings for a divorce, after sending Armand to Europe to make a tour, in company with Mr. Russell and his two daughters.

Wheu I heard that, I was devoured with jealousy for Ellinor Russell was was the young lady who had been chosen by Mr. Landry for his son's wife, and report said that she was both rich and charming. I afterward learned he was betrothed to Miss Russell.

When this happened, you were but a few weeks old, and I was left with you to take care of, and little enough to do it with. "Ah how I hated that fair beauty who had caused me so much woe! Many a night, after you were asleep, have stolen from my cottage, and made my way to the stately home iu which that woman dwelt, surrounded by loving care that of right belonged to me. Concealed in the shrubbery, I have listened to his voice speaking to her in accents of deeper tenderness than he had ever used to me, and I vowed within my soul that I would find means to blight the happiness they seemed to find iu each other. They were married. "My hate culminated when a daughter was born who was destined to fill the place in your father's house of which you had been defrauded. "Your half-sister is two years younger than you, and in your childhood you were so much alike that but for the difference in size you might have been taken for twins. "Armand's joy in his new treasure was soon turned to sadness, for the health of his wife began to fail. She faded slowly away with a mysterious disease. Everything was tried that promised relief, but the spell of an evil eye was upon her,and there was no help for her. "The doctors said it was the climate that did not suit her, but I knew better than that. "She was taken away for chauge of air, but Zelma, the woman that went with her as nurse, was one of the slaves that had belonged to my father, and was devoted to me. "Mrs. Landry liugered for many months, but she at last died, when you were five years old. "The years passed on, and Armand was travelling in Europe, rarely writing home, aud never sending me a line.

You were ten years old when he came back. Zelma was dead, and I felt safe now that the only one who could accuse me of instigating the death of Ellinor Russell was gone. "But all my hopes were fearfully dashed to the earth for he brought with him a young wife, a cousin of Ellinor's, and also an heiress. They stopped in New Orleans, and from there Armand wrote to me the following lines "NEW ORLEANS, October 30,18—. "I write to you, Hagar, to say that no optiou will be allowed you as to your removal from the viciuityof meand mine. "I came back to my native laud, bringing with me a cousin of my lost wife, the resemblance in person and character between the two attracting me irresistibly to Helen. "I might have taken her to Le Bocage to meet the same terrible fate, had I not here encountered the priest who attended Zelma in her last illness, and received her confession. "Ah, my heart, I cannot write it! "Go far away—take your daughter. "I am not rich in my own right, but when she is old enough to marry, I will give her a suitable dower. This is all I can, or will do. "ARMAND LANDRY." "I had nothing'to do but obey Armand's command," continued Mrs. Blake, "and so I came hither with you, where we have lived till now. This is my history."

CHAPTER II.

A PHYSICIAN IN LOVE WITH THE DAUGHTER—A FIENDISH PLOT.

There was residing in the same village with Mrs. Blake and her daughter a physician, twenty-eight or thirty years of age—Dr. Macon—who for two years had been ardently iu love with the daughter. She had toyed and trifled with him during all that time but he bad finally insisted upon a decided answer to his suit, aud on that very evening he was coming to learn bis fate. As he" approached the house he overheard the voices of mother and daughter engaged in close conversation, and drawing near to the window and meanly listening, be had obtained full possession of the terrible secret of Mrs. Blake's life. Madly in love, and utterly unscrupulous, he at once determined to make any use which might be necessary of his newly acquired advantage to secure the hand of Hester.

On that very evening Dr. Macon was engaged to take tea with Mrs. Blake aud her daughter but their little old housekeeper returned from tiie village with the intelligence that a shocking railroad accident had occurred in the vicinity, and the Doctor had hasteued off to the assistance of the wounded.

On the return of Dr. Macon he called upon Mrs. Blake and surprised her with the information that among the hurt was Armand Landry, mortally injured He was accompanied by his daughter, the half-sister of Hester, and she had been stunned by a blow on the head. They were both lying at a farm-house near by, and Mr. Landry, knowing that he must die, had requested that Hester should visit him the next morning, that he might inform her of the pecuniary prpvision which he had made fof her support.

And now was concocted one of the most fiendish plots ever devised by the human mind. It was suggested by Mrs. ake, and acquiesced in by Dr. Macon and Hester, that the half-sister, who was still unconscious, should be kept iu a state of imbecility by drugs which the Doctor should skillfully administer to her for that purpose, and Hester—whose resemblance to her was so close as to defy detection—should usurp her place as heiress of the immense estates entailed upon the half-sister through her mother.

The inducement to Dr. Macon was Hester's promise, on the accomplishment of the scheme, to become his wife.

But wheu Hester came to read over the letters which lav concealed in the bottom of her half-sister's trunk, she found among them several from Raymond De Lorme, a handsome young man whom she remembered as her own first lover at the South, when she was little more than a mere child. These letters were written in a mostimpinioned strain, and showed that between him and his fair correspondent—Eswll* Land ry, Hester's.

now stricken half-sister—a marriage engagement existed. No sooner had Hester discovered this fact than her old love for De Lorme was rekindled, and she resolved at once to have him also, as well as Estelle's for* tune, let whatever obstacles might be in the way. He was now absent in Europe, to remain a year or two, and her purpose must be most carefully concealed from Dr. Macon but, come what would, the young man should be hers!

Mrs. Blake's housekeeper, Mrs. Muller, a German woman with an American education, was a great gossip, and a cunning, selfish, evil-minded woman. Hester, at her mother's suggestion, bad turned the key on the outside of Mrs. Muller's sleeping rooms, while their infernal plot had been planned but the suspicious woman happened to be awake and she had risen, and emerging through a window, crept around where she could listen to all they said. She too, now, meant to have her profit out of the scheme, the secret of which she had obtained unknown to them.

On the following day Mr. Landry felt bis end rapidly approaching. He had forbidden peremptorily that Mrs. Blake should be admitted to his presence but Mrs. Blake had determined to see him before he died. He was very anxious for a confessor and was finally told that although there was no priest accessible, a Sister of Charity might be obtained. This assurance afforded him great relief, and he desired that no time might be lost in sending for her.

Mrs. Blake determined to improve this opportunity to see him, without his recognizing her, and to visit him iu the disguise of a Sister.

It was arranged that after night, when the room was dimly lighted by a single candle, she should go in and listen to such confessions as he wished to make. In them, if he spoke of her tenderly, compassionately, she would forego the dire vengeance she had planned to inflict on him when he lay helpless before her, breathing his soul away in doubt aud dread of what the future life might bring to him. If he judged her hardly aud cruelly at the last, she would have no mercy on him.

When Eunice, a deaf and dumb servant girl at the farm-house was safely asleep, Mrs. Blake made such alteration in her dress as was necessary. A white handkerchief was drawn low down on her forehead, and folded over her face in such a manner as to conceal the greater portion of it, and Macon's black silk cravat was smoothed out and tied over that, in the form of the hoods worn by Catholic nuns when walking abroad. She then entered the feebly lighted room, and sat down in the chair which Hester resigned at her approach. At the movement, the dying man unclosed his eyes, and iu a faint voice, said: "How good you were to come to me in this extremity. This young girl has explained to me that you consented to do so as soon as you heard that a son of Mother Church needed your help but some subtle power must have conveyed to him the knowledge that something inimical had approached him, for he suddenly seemed to struggle with some deadly oppression, and sinking back, he murmured: "Too late! I fear that I shall die before I can say what I wished. I must confess—must have absolution, for I have sinned. But I have suffered—how bitter a cup I have drained in atonement of the one act of my life which brought unhappiness to one who thought she had the right to avenge herself upon me."

In a voice scarcely above a whisper, Mrs. Blake said: "My son, forgive as you hope to be forgiven, and all will be well with you. "Ah that is what I cannot do, for there is one sin and one sinner that I have not forgiven. But for that I could die in peace." "Was the wrong against you so unmerited that you feel thus bitterly?" "Unmerited Yes I assert that, and I believe it. She who committed it was one I did not love, though I was tricked into a marriage with her."

In a faltering voice Mrs. Blake said: "You did not love her! Are you quite sure of that?

Landry was too deeply absorbed in his own thoughts to notice the menacing tone that thrilled through the muffled voice of the speaker. "No, I never loved her." "Is it just to lay all the blame upon the woman who risked so much to gain a legal claim upon you? To those who have loved truly, much should be forgiven and she, you say, loved you." "I gave her all that she had a right to claim at my hands—and had she so willed it, I would have sent her from me as free from reproach as in the hour of our first unfortunate meeting. But she would not go. I was very young. I loved the child she gave me, and through her the mother hoped, if I were free again, to win me back, and—and— I cannot tell you what she did in return for the forbearance I had shown toward her. It is her secret, and I will not reveal it even in this hour, but it is that which I now find it impossible to forgive. If you can give me absolution, knowing that, I will accept it gladly at your bands, although you are not one of tbe accredited ministers of our Holy Church."

The heart of Mrs. Blake hardened as she listened. She felt the blood surging through her veins with fiery swiftness, and all the passion of her tropical nature burst forth. "Such consolation as I can give, you are welcome to, Armand Landry. Whether it will facilitate your entrance to the Paradise in which your lost Ellinor dwells, or into the Hades in which I shall hereafter claim you, I leave you to imagine. Look at the woman you cast oft so lightly—the woman who believed that you loved her—and cower before her glance as you soon will shrink before that of the Omnipotent Being who will judge between us." "You—you here!" he exclaimed in a loud, harsh voice. "How dare you approach me? How dare you profane the sacred character you have assumed for the purpose of intruding upon a presence that was forbidden you Hagar Blake, you have been the curse of my life, and in death you persecute me still. Oo! I command you to leave this room unpolluted by the presence of a murderess."

Hagar's eyes blazed back defiance, and she tauntingly said "You are in no position now to enforce your will. You are in my power, not 1 in yours, and I intend to pay you back drop for drop, for all the bitterness you have poured into my cup and forced me to drink."

The features of Landry were blanched to the hue of death, and his black eyes gleamed fiercely from their pallid setling, as he hoarsely asked "By whose connivance were you permitted to enter here? If Hester or her betrothed husband aided you, it will be the worse for them, for in that case I will give her nothing. The paper I caused her to write this morning will be veJueless unless it is signed and wituessed, and now I will do neither." "Oil, you threaten me with consequences, do you she mockingly asked "but let me assure you that it is a matter ofiudifference to me, and also my daugh* ter, whether that paper is valueless or not. We have settled our plans, and rave against them as you may, you will be powerless to prevent them from being carried into effect. Hester will not accept the paltry provision you hrtve so magnanimously made for her she will

claim

what is hers, in justice at least— the half of the estate which is now held by your other children." "Woman what do you mean by that? Ah my God have I fallen into a den or thieves?

Is

there no oue to help me?

His voice broke suddenly, h® back upon his pillowsi gasping forbreath.

one repeated, Mrs. Blake, with

emphasis.,^ You are in this solitary

country house, entirely at my merer,and that of those who are willing to do all that I wish. The darling daughter on whom you have lavished so much in dulgence lies stricken into idiocy by the injuries her head has received. She will never more walk the earth in pride,look ing down in scorn upon her sister whom you have bequeathed to her compassion. In place of that, I have decreed that th« two shall change places, and the child of your adored Ellinor shall stay with me, while my daughter assumes, the station of the heiress, and wears the honor of her father's house. The two sisters are so much alike that no one will ever be able to distinguish the true one from her counterfeit

The listener felt that the shock of this announcement bad shortened bis brief span of life he knew that the death clutch was already on his vitals but he rallied his last remaining strength, and said with solemn emphasis

"If you

consummate this wickedness

Heave to you, and to the imposter who will take tbe place of my darling, my undying malediction. God is over all, and he will not permit such viilainy to go un punished, even in this world."

Mrs. Blake unclosed her lips to reply, but Landry raised his hand appealingly a change passed over his sunken face, and with a prayer on his lips in behalf of his favorite child he passed away.

Hester arrayed herself iu a black drees which she found in Estelle's trunk, and assuming the name and character of her half-sister, prepared, on the following day, to accompany the remains of her father to New Orleans, for burial, in company with Herbert Spencer, a youug man from Boston, a cousin of Raymond De Lorme's, who had been seut on b.v the family relations for that purpose. What happened there, aud indeed the whole of the thrilling story of the half-sisters, Hester and Estelle, will be found in the New York Ledger, which is now ready and can be had at all the book-stores and news depots.

The Blood Pills

Are the most active and thorough Pills that have ever been introduced. They act so directly upon the Liver, exciting that organ to such an extent as that the system does not relapse into its former condition, which is too apt to be the case with simply a purgative pill. They are really a

Blood and Liyer Pill,

And in conjunction with the

BLOOD PURIFIER,

Will cure all the aforementioned diseases, and themselves will relieve and cure

Headache, CosUveness, Colic, Cholera Morbus, Indigestion, Pain in the Bowels, JJjizziness, etc., etc.

DB. ROBACK'S

STOMACH BITTERS

Should be used by convalescents to strengthen the prostration which always follows acute disease.

Try these medicines, and. you will never regret It. Ask your neighbors who have used them, and they will say they are GOOD MEDICINES. and you should try them before going, for a Physician.
