/ The conversation was here interrupted
by the appearance of Mrs. Mullins and
her daughter. They were richly dressed
land georgeously bejeweled. and Clara.
Notwithstanding the unmistakable lines
upon her eountenance, was beautiful to
look upon. The moment they entered
the room, Mr.. FitEgammon arose from his
seat-and squeezed the hand of Miss Cla-

sure Of tho idol Of her affections. she and
her parents went to work in good earnest
TO bring about match and have the par
