was reading a New York paper when
he came across one Of the accounts Of
Lady Letnoras charming voice giving
Ia Gcscrl ion Of her. telling i'm what
OPP m she was singing and also her
picture Although her stage name WAS

mot deceived, but hastily made ready
% call upon Lord Chesterfield taking
the paper with him \ long CONVERSE
ZION was the result and ia a few DAYS
rhcy embarked for America. As soon
'as they arrived in New York they pur-
chased tickets for the opera. After fl

moments interview with his daughter
telling her that She should soon be
free ana begging her TO return home.
She was much surprised to see him,
but she had made a contract with her
manager and could not return until
the time had expired, which would be
in a few months
Then Lord Chesterfield set about
TO find lawyer to consult with about
the divorce He found by inquiry that
Mr. IL ID Clifford was considered the
ablest lawyer in New York So he lost
no time in calling upon him. Now
this was the same Harry Clifford that
LeOnOra knew when she was a young
lady of eighteen. He had since been
left quite a fortune 10y the death Of
a wealthy uncle, and had studied law,
bending all his energies TO IL, and had
become an eminent i'm his profession
But Ieonora did not know this as he
had become a lawyer after he left
the town where Mr. Moore lived, ana
so Mr. Moore did not know any more
of him than LeOnora did Nor had
Harry heard her sing as he had been
IN Boston for the past three months,
only etLrning the day before Lord
Chess erheld's call
Lori Chesterfield gave as few of the
details rs possible, not mentioning
that l.eonora had not always lived iu
England As he was leaving, Lord
Chesterfield asked Mr. Clifford to go
with him to the opera that evening
Harry thanked him and accepted
"
That evening the two gentlemen
were seated in box near the stage.

singer who won adj hearts by her
beauty and voice He looked at his
program and saw her name Kathryn
la Moore He gave n start Kathryn
La Moore! How like Kate Moore
But the curtain was rising and he
had no more time for reflection Just
before the second act, Lord Chesterfield
said sarcastically Kathryn La Moore
win appear this time
The curtain rose, and LeonOra came
forward. How beautiful she looked
Tall ana slender, with beautiful large
blue eyes, soft wavy golden hair; and
her voice, well, there was not often
heard a voice like hers. When She came
10 the front of the stage Harry Clifford
turned pale and almost rose from his
seat He with difficulty restrained him
self. but he bent on her such beSecch
ing gaze that half Involuntary she
glanced up. She caught his eyes fixed
upon her. A beautiful blush rose to
her temples. then reeeded, leaving her
deathly pale . For moment she
thought she would break down, then
she looked away and finished the song
sang as she had never sang before,
more tenderly, more pleadingly. When
she ceased the house rang with ap-
plause
Lord Chesterfield turned to his com
pauion.
WAS that look for you or me? Have
YOU the honor Of the young lady's ac-
quainmncc? Quite pretty blush for
a married woman TO bestow on young
man. especially when her husband
sits beside himw
Harry turned on him, his eyes ahame.

"Sr! Do you mean it? Is it posi-
Bile? What was her name before she
married you"

Harry Clifford said more humbly
Did she never tell you Of Harry Cliff

Lord Chesterfield looked surprised.

but how came YOU hereT'
Harry told him of his change in cir
circumstances, and when the opera
was over both gentlemen walked out
together
