BIS FIANCEE
Continued from first page
“Ami now," lie said, releasing her,
“where is baby?—I must see her at
once.”
“You forget that baby is no longer
baby; she is a schoolgirl."
“Where is she?”
“Why, she is at school."
"At school! Not here to welcome
her papa? But she will return pres
ently?“
“She is at a boarding school some
distance from here." This was said
fulteringly ns a falsehood would be
spoken.
“Surely you are deceiving me. it
cannot l>o that”—
"Clara is well; nothlug has happened
to her."
"Clara r
"Of course. Have you forgotten that
her name and mine are the same?”
"Oh! I have always been accustom
ed to think of her ns ’baby.* For my
life 1 cannot understand how you can
have preserved your youth. * Are you
sure that no rouge"—
"Not a particle.”
"Surely by this time you should
have a few faint lines around your
eyes. 1 s*»e no trace of age whatso
e'er. Your lips are as m l as they
were when I last kissed them."
And he kissed them again.
"But why," he continued, "do you
welcome me In tills dim light?"
"Perhaps when you see me In a
brighter one you may see what age
lias done for me.”
As she sj>*>ke lights were turned on
from another- part of the house, and a
woman entered the dr-«wins room
whom Edgertou «lid not remember to
have seen before.
"My mother,” said Clara Pomeroy.
“Happy to meet you, madam,” said
1 Edgerton, bowing. Then, turning to
Clara: "Your mother! Why, I suppos
ed your mother”—
“Hugh!” said the lady who had en
tered.
Edgerton started. lie looked again
at Clara’s mother, and there came to
hlfn a feeling that he hail made n
grave mistake. II«? turned from her to
the daughter. Under the brighter light
lie saw that she could not be more
than twenty. Turning again to the
mother, he recognized IJs fiancee of
sixteen years ago turned into a woman
who. though not quite forty, looked at
least fifty. Her hair was white, her
skin was wrinkled, her neck under her
chin was shriveled.
"I am Clara." she said, "and that Is
•Baby.’ When you went away I did
not believe that on youi* return I would
lx* a fit age for you. I look older than
I am, hut no man of your age should
be tied to a woman of mine. Clara so
nearly resembled me ns I was when
you left us that 1 was tempted to put
her forward ns myself. The result has
been ns I expected. In me you looked
for the youthful person you left six
teen years ngo. You have found an
old woman. You supposed that In Cla
ra you would tlml a little girl. You
have found her whnt I was when you
pa ril'd from me."
Kdgerton listens«! to this sjH^oh with
a countenance which, d**splte his ef
fort*. betrayed that It described the sit
uation. At Its conclusion he began to
stammer objections, but the Indy took
his hand, pressed it warmly and laid
