confusas entrecortadas por terrible easta-

Asi estuvo dos horas, sonbria, terca, sin

lealtad, nj siquiera echo la llave & La cerra-

No quiso DIR Felipe una palabra mas sin
gastar tempo en ponerse una prenda de

Clara. El vestido blanco, las enaguas arru-
gadas, los zapatitos el corse de saten blan-
co psrfumado, estaban en- desorden por el
suelo.
R Rojo ell semblante brillandele los ojos
en- los entreabisrtos parpados, estaba Clara
tendida en ell gran lecho de Columns. Los
graves guerreros de la tapcerfa, con las en-
punadas lanzas, parecia que La velaban
Acercose Felipe y no le reconocio. Sonreia
la joven dulcemente, sus entreabiertos,
descoloridos labios dejaban YER los blancos
dentes. Coglola la mauo y La encontro ar
dorosa. A la incesante agitacion de la no
che habia sucedido profuudo entorpecimien-
to. Asustado Felipe, escribio con rapidez
algunas 1neas para ell mejor medico de Be-
sane6n Sc las mando con un carruaje. Al
mismo tempo avisaba Beaulieu.
Instal6se junto al lecho de Clara, sumido
en- desconsoladoras ideas SMorirfa ella SO

vii y con los ojos abiertos, pero una contrac-
cion dolorosa produciala estrabigmo. Fruncia
Ell ceno, y de veg en- cuando llevaba la mano

horrblemente, y que ell delirio Sc apoderaba
de ella aumentando por minutes.
Ante aquel triste espectaculo desapare
cieron las ideas de odio del marido Su-
persticioso por primera vez en- su vida, creyo
que 81 Clara dominaba la enfermedad serfa

Volviendose eutonces hacia aquella puer-
ia, tras de la cual quedaba la implacable
joven, dijo:
i Criatura orgullosa, que no quieres do
blegarte, yo to quebrantare
7 por ell nismo camino que anduvo una
bora antes con ell coraz6n lleno de esperan-
zas, volvi6 su habitaci6n de soltero.

coordinar sus ideas. Habiendo triunfado

cabeza, que la sostuvo en- la mano. Sentfa
