CLARENCE BOLTON"
Fifteen years had passed. Nellie
Gould was now Mrs. Elliott, a middle.
aged matron. with three bright-eyed
children. The los sof her lover yeart
J ago had come upon her at first with
crushing force, and she had hoped to
hear from him again. Then, after a
further lapse of time, she had followed
her old lovers request, and married
another. With the 81 800 they started
a little shop together. 1t grew and
grew until it became one of the most
nourishing businesses in Elton.
When the shop was closed in the
evening her husband would usually 60

town. in order to discuss the events OF
the day with his brother tradesmen.

shop. His hair and beard were quite
white, his skin wrinkled. and his
cheeks hollow. He appeared to be quite
worn out.
John Elliott was a kindly hearted
man, and now he was touched with
pity. He invited the man into the
house and gave him some supper. This
the wanderer scarcely touched, but fol
lowed with eager eyes the figure of
Mrs. Elliott.
Then he adroitly gained from John
particulars about his family. He had
two sons and one girl. John told him.
The eldest boy was named Clarence.
He Is named after an old sweet
heart of the wife's. 1t was her wish,
and respected it; for he seems to have
been a good sort Of fellow. We owe
whatever fortune we have to him. His
money gave us our first start In mar
ried life"
The strangers hand wandered to his
eyes. Had the other been watching he
would have seen q tear trickling down
the furrowed cheek.

The next morning the three children
were introduced to the stranger. He
took them in his arms and kissed them
In turn At Clarence he gazed long and
earnestly, sat him upon his knee and
fondled him: and then. while Mrs
Elliott's back was turned, seized pain
Of scissors and cut or a piece Of the
boys curly hair, which he secreted In
his pocket.
Two days after a body was found
close to the cottage where Nellie had
lived with her mother SO many years

quest was held, but there were nc
means of establishing 1t sidentity.

''Go on; quick, man, quick. Let me

"And the man who murdered Gould

Clarence covered his face with his
hands, while Mr.. Seek told him the rest
Of the story-told him how he. out of
deep pity for the boy, had changed his

up more as q son than the child or
