A Lady In Distress.

She had returned, ready for pitched
battle with Clara. and on the threshold
there had met her the very turn in
the affair that she had dreaded all
along-the setting Of Kerr and Harry
upon each other.
These were two whom she had kent
apart even In her mind-the man to
whom she was pledged. with whom
she had supposed herself In love. and
the man for whom she was flying in
the face Of all her traditions. She
had not scrutinized the reason Of her
extraordinary behavior; not since
that dreadful day when the vanishing
mystery had taken positive form in
him had she dared to think how she
felt about Kerr. She had only acted,

There was a presence in the vestibule
very vaguely seen through the glass
and lace of the inner door. Her heart
beat with apprehension. The door
opened upon Clara.
Flora precipitately retreated. She
was more disturbed than relieved by
the unexpected appearance. For Clara
must have seen Kerr leave the house.
