She had just drawn on her gloves when she heard the footsteps of two men approaching. They rapped at the door. "Come in," she sobbed, in a low, broken voice, that might have belonged to any girl in deep distress, and she put a white cambric handkerchief up to her eyes and drew her thick veil closely over her face. The two Le Noirs immediately entered the room.
But she had received no reply from either mother or son. And months had passed, filling the mind of Clara with anxiety upon their account. She did not for one moment doubt their constancy. Alas! it required but little perspicacity on her part to perceive that the letters on either side must have been intercepted by the Le Noirs father and son. Her greatest anxiety was lest Mrs.

The two Le Noirs simultaneously sprang forward, astonishment, disappointment and rage contending in their blanched faces. "Who are you, girl?" exclaimed Colonel Le Noir.
