if you persist in marrying Mrs. Mor

.Iacree,' replied Robert,
The month passed quickly, and at.
its close the situation was about like,
!
this : Robert was fenced betweon love
for Clara and his duty to the widow ;
The outlook was certainly alluring Clara was deeply in love with Robert
to the lenely orphan, and she accepted Mrs. Morrow was troubled by a certain
the offer, returning to New York with falling off m her lover s ardor ; ana
Mr. Anson, who had steadily reiuseu
to see the widow, hoped for the best
for his plan. The father and son met
after supper,
Well, Robert.' said the former,
the month is up. What haye you de
cided upo4 doing?' . I. i!
We have always made confidents of
each other,' began Robert.
'Certainly.
t ', Aud I will not hide anything from
you now. I love Clara, and believe
she loves me but I am engaged to Mrs.
Morrow, and cannot honorably break
the engagement.'
Mr. Anson.
Thereupon the old mansion was ren
ovated, rc-furnished, and soon became
(he headquarters of a ! j brilliant 'social
clique. Flora at once- took her place
as favorite; and Mr. Anson was proud
of his pretty protege.
Aslhe; return of Robert Anson wa
now daily expected, it may be well to
follow him on Ills transatlantic voyage.
He had barely embarked at Liverpool
before his eyes fell upon the form of a
decidedly handsome and dashing wo
- man. A widow anybody could' have
" told that by her dasu of manner and
her air of independence. Not much
' past thirty, and at the zenith of her
jcharms, she was a really bewildering
creature. So Robert thought at first
sight, and so ho found her upon ac
quaintance. A Mrs. Morrow she proved
; . to be, and she was alone and unpro
tected on her voyago, which had been
made to visit some distant relatives in
England. The steamer consumed nino
days in its passage. On the first Ro

Vas all that Mrs. Morrow could haye
