every one says that | look quite ten
years younger-that have the pros
meet OF long life before me; and II
find some one who loves me, and
lvho win make the remainder of my
life happier than 1t is why should /

She started back the next moment
IN real alarm. for Angela bad sprung
from the ground, and stood before
her with flashing eyes and burning
| face.
"Why should you not marry again?

you ask such a question? You are
my fathers Wife"

corrected Lady Rooden.
whitening scorn flashed from the
girlIsh eyes.
There is no difference" she cried.
You told me yourself that my father
had but gone before us, You said he
would love us just the same. You told
me that the boundaries that separated
us were very narrow. You told me
that love, true love, began in time and
lived in eternity Oh, mother
mother" she continued, wildly, what
will you say to my father when you
meet him as another mans wife? 1t
Is horrible to think Of!

voice.

| forgive ne. but it seems to me shame.
ful! You, whom my father loved;
you with whom he left his heart! If
you had died first, my father would
never have married again; he would
have cherished your memory until
death How, then, knowing this, can
you love another man? You have the
right to please yourself but | repeat
| that it Is shameful! 1t seems to me
that It is sin for my fathers wife to
marry another man"
