A CONTINUED STORY.

Unfortu stele, he was too indignant
to he wise and, in spite of her eager,
blight fac , he spoke sharply to her.
"Claire, you promised me not to re-
new an,er intimacy with that man down -
stain.'
She had hoped to tell everythin
g
frankly, a$ already he had become
her judge. She made another effort,
speaking layfally. _
"You' ust hear my defeeice before
giving you verdict. We were not dis-
cussing maks ; we were talking of
somethin very different."
"I tho glat so. I Iniew from your
face that here was-somethingooncealed
—that he as telling a lie!'
"Let na tell you the whole story,
Barry." he put her hands over his
to gain co rage, and repeated what had
passed botween her and Mr. Delapierre.
Then she described her visit to Mr.
.
Dupree, t happy with its results to
keep back a single detail. He listened
coldly and rather indifferently, whtch-
ing her pressive feateres an ex-
cited gest ;es with. his keen, grave
eyes, and showing' neither sympathy
nor pleasu e. ...
"You ite
manner." .
The wor s fell like ice on her warm,
sensitive n ture. She let go his hands;
her bright mile changed to a look of
extreme mettification and dissappoint
raent.
Without ineming to notice it Barry
reviewed t e points of her story in his
lawyer ii1e style, shoWing her how
easily he o uld have arranged the mat-
ter had sh entrusted it to him. His
tone was a roaetic. He did not know
the force his words nor how unkind
they sound d. He ridiculed her- scru-
ples aim explaining her father's
affairs. to li rn, and, declared the whole
proceeding Quixotic •in character' and,
• just whet might have been expected
from p, novel reading, romantic girl.
He congrat lated her on having carried
it through so successfully, but hoped
that in future she would treat him with
more confi- ence.
Claire c uld not speak. Barry's
anger with er took the place of every -
other troub e. She could not under-
stand it he feel that she deserved it.
No one had ever spoken to her like this,
and she ha 4 thought that Barry had
loved her.
She could have met quick passionate
words with -n entreaty for forgiveness,
if
but satire nd cynical smiles roused
her pride a d obstinacy. She sat with
her face tur ed from him, resting on
her hand, not crying, but mentally
questioeing a right to treat her so un-
kindly.
Meanwhile he got ready to see some
Mende whom he expected.
"Are you Owning, Claire ?" he asked
at length. I
' "Not to -night, if you will excuse the
to Mrs. Bartlett. I don't want to see
strangers." I
"How absttrd ! You were perfectly
well at dinner. There is no excuse for
your staying up here all the evening.
These peep' were invited to meet us.
Besides thi is a mere exhibition of
temper, and I don't like it."

tone naacle C aire turn and look at hien

She rose quickly and went tothe
glass to smo h her hair. The set look
in her face _j ightened her. She felt
dismayed. at., her own anger. Having
followed Bary down the stairs, she
took hia arm without a : word: or look
and went int the, parlor •
Her reme brance of that evening
was never .e.ry distinct. She knew
that. she had laughed and talked more
than usual, et_ Mr-. Bartlett had been
very atteeti et. and that Barry had
watched her with silent displeasure.:

the extent of •er• folly, his auger seemed

But the- for id piety began to tell on

married belle, tit, as Barry did not in-

advice.
Still he penetrated. the thin disguise
and saw that Imre was no longer. hap-
py.. le the m rning she was hale and
nervous,. and i the evening she came
.down from: a elaborate toilet with
'flushed cheek and s.parklieg eyes,
ready for the, hett dieatpatiore
Mrs. Bartle knew enough of what
had passed to judge Claire's feelings.
She was angry with Mr. Delapierre for
having misled her as to, the extent of
'his influence over the young girl, and
she was growing tired of his -attentions
and devotion. It :wolthibe delightful
to get richer him,- but "liowi to do it
withotittliking JAW her -bitter eneniy
was a problem.. Sometimee the way is
very near the will. 7
One sunny January morning Claire
did not come to breikfaat. Barry said
she had a headache.
"She was up too late last night. You
take no care of her. Her constitution
won't stand such endless excitementr'
said Mr. Bartlett. "She seems very
fragile."
Barry looked uneasy.
"A ride might. do her good," he said.,
"lf I can leave this afternoon I will
take her out."
"What time will you be here? She
ought to be ready; the afternoons are
short."
eBetter not speak of it, Amanda. I
may not be able to get off; but I will
do my best."
"Well, as you like."
• She spoke carelessly, but her heart
sank within her. If Barry took Claire
out'a reconciliation would be the result.
He was begipning to feel ashamed of
his doubts, and anxious to have them
proved groundless, and Claire was quite
wretched enough to take the whole
blame of the quarrel to herself.

on past Grace Church and Stewart
and into Goupirs. It was quite full
people, some buying, others lazily e
&mining prints and admiring the pain
ings and statuary. Mrs. Bartlett w
not there,but the gallery was one of h
favorite resorts, eitd.Claire went up t
staircase scanning the engravings th
covered the walls anci thinking of. t
home that they might adorn.
There were some choice paintings o
exhibition in the Cosy little galler
but only three persons were availin
themselves of the privilege afforde
the public. Two ladies were criticisin
a large landscape, and a gentlema
was standing in the farther room wit
his back to the entrance. Claire ha
gone half around the gallery when sh
became conscious that he was approao
ing her. She moved to let him pas
without looking up, but he stopped a
her side. Claire started, but he
"Good -afternoon, Mr. Delapierrie,
wee icy.
This is an unexpected pleasure," h
said, with an admiring glance. Clair
remembered Barry's caution and turne
to the door, but the ladies were goin
out and at her first step forward th
Frenchman stopped -her.
"You surely are not going; you hav
not seen all the new pictures."
"I prefer to wait down -stairs for Mrs
Bartlett,"
Claire was too intent on her purpos
to note the flash of -intelligence produc-
ed by her words.
"This is a more convenient plac
than the store. Sit down a few min
utes ; I have much to say to you."
"Let me pass," said Claire, the Itloo
rushing to her cheeks. "I will no
listen to you."
"A,nd those papers ?"
She could not speak. Eyer sine
that day she had been afraid to allud
to them or see Mr. Dupree.
"You are afraid of me," he sneered.
"No, bin, once for all, I decline
having any conversation with you
about them or anything else. Mr.
Delapierre, this is t6o rude; let m
go."
As she spoke steps and voices sounded
on the stairs; Mr. Delapierre drew
aside, and several timing girls tripped
into the gallery, smiling and exclaiming.
Claire went down to the store and
lingered over the tables until the hot
glow faded from her cheeks. Mrs.
Bartlett did not come, neither did she
notice Mr. Delapierre going out. What
could it all, mean? Mr. Delapierre's
'love of art explained his presence, but
why should Mrs. Bartlett break her
own appointment? The hands of the
Swiss clock now pointed to four, little
birds appeared on the thresholds of
small, mysteriously opened doors and
uttered sweet notes, to the delight of
some eager children. Claire deter-
mined not to wait any longer. At that
hour t -he stage going up was crowded,
and, besides,' the pure air was refresh-
ing atter the heat and sickly odors of
the store. So she started. on a brisk
walk, trying to think of pleasant topics
and forget the last annoyance.
She reached the house rather tired,
and while impatiently waiting for the
door to be opened, looked at her watch.
It was a quarter to five. There were
lights every where, and she heard
• laughter and talking in the parlor as
she ran up -stairs. As she closed her
own door behind her Barry stood up
from' the sofa, crushing a small piece of
paper in his fingers.
"Home already, Barry ?"i she said
gaily, about to kiss him.
He drew back from her touch with a
gesture.of contempt. "That is all over
• between' us now, Mrs. Lorimer. After
this don't trouble yourself to play a
part. I detest acting, particularly
such bad acting as yours." His pale
features hardened while he spoke as if
the muscles would never again relax.
"I do not understand this, Berry."
"You don't understand this, Claire?
You forgot to hide Mr. Delapierre's
note. I took it up, thinking it Was an
invitation. Tell me, did you meet
him!"
Her face crimsoned. "I did but—"
"I'll hear no more specious excuses 1"
he cried, grasping her hands firmly and
holding her. "Let me say what I think
of you. TOLI promised me faithfully to
have no more interviews with this
man; you tried to make me believe that
you disliked him. See what you have
done Unable to meet him here, you
make an appointment with him in a
public gallery, whether to talk about
your father's affairs or your owu makes
no difference to me—the sheme and de-
ception are alike! Claire, -I believed
you trathhal and candid. I was mis-
taken. I suppose it js the fault of your
French nature, but you are fickle and
vain. Our marriage was a mistake, for
we Only torture each other. Still we
must remain nominally man and wife,
and make the best of our future. After
this let us have no More quarrels. You
can find amusement and occupation
quite independent of me. Hundreds of
omen live thus' with their husbands
She nodded to her brother as he left
the room, and turned to open her
letters. One of tbem seemed to interest
her. Her cheeks flushed and paled,
and she pushed her heavy.hair off her
forehead with a quick, restless move-
ment as she mused over it. Then she
put it in her pooket, and, having burned
the envelope, Fate carried the notes that
required answers into the library. Mr.
Bartlett was sitting there reading.
"Have you been up to see Mrs. Lori-
mer?" he' asked-orossly.
"She is asleep, or was when Barry
left her. I should only disturb her."
,"Barry and she have had a quarrel,
ha,ven't they?"
He lowered his paper and fixed his
ens on her face. Mrs. Bartlett looked
up from her pen and paper quite sur-
prised.
"A quarrel, Mr. Bartlett? I haven't
seen any signs of it."
"Indeed 1" he growled. "We certain-
ly make more demonstration. The
whole house knows when we disagree.
However, it is possible to doh more ele-
gantly. The reeult is about the same—
cool indifference on one side, headaches,
paleness, and craving for amusement on
the other."
Mrs. Bartlett laughed musically. "I
am sure, Mr. Bartlett, you cannot am

a fight improves you ; but all
women are not alike."
"Claire is simply growing fonder of
pleasure, She has given up' to,te-a-tetes
with you, while Barry devotes himself
to others,_end the change make her a
little nervous. After a while she will
grow used to the excitement and fat
tigue,tand learn to control her appear-
ance."
Mrs. Bartlett sealed a letter as she
talked, and her husband returned to
his paper with an impatient "Non-
sense l'
Mrs. Bartlett understood why he
ordered lunch in the library, and was
so particular as to what Mrs. Lorimer
liked. Claire joined them, but scarcely
tasted. the food he put on her plate. He
took wine and crackers, but his wife en-
joyed the cold fowl and jelly, and rallied
Claire on her loss of appetite.
"Yon had better come out riding with
me this afternoon, Claire."
"If I go out I shall walk; it refreshes
me more than riding," was the listless
answer.
"Yon can do both, nay child," said
Mr. Bartlett gently. "Walk as far as
you please; and let Mrs. Bartlett meet
you for a ride. Stay in the opeu air as
long as possible."
"Claire smiled faintly. "Well, I will
take your advice."
"Why, yes; there - is the party at
Mrs. Waltham's to -night," said Mrs.
Bartlett.
"Barry must, go without me. I am
completely, out of spirits."
"-Yon have beep going out too much,"
said Mr. Bartlett: "Stay at home for.a
week and recover your bloom. Don't
exhaust the pl easures of life too early
If Barry has no common sense use your
Own."
"Mr. Bartlett Can afford to advise
you, Claire; he has learned by dear
experience the result of too much dissi-
pation."
Claire grew conscious that her pres-
ence was adding fuel to fire, so she left
the fiery couple to their interchange of
sarcasms.
CHAPTER IX.
• 6 4coNFIRafATIoN 8TRoNet."
An hour after Mrs. Bartlett went out
in her little carriage. Somewhat die-
eppointed at this seeming neglect,
Claire made up her mind to stay at
home and force herself to think over
the trouble between her and Barry, if
net to accept the greater share of the
blame, as he evidently thought she
shmild. Since the el ight of the quarrel
she had certainly let pride control her,
and it -had led her to do things that she
knew Barry disliked. So far her self-
assertion had but inereased her misery.
How long could. this state of things
continue? Something must happen to
end it was her daily thought. But
days came and went, and they ate and
they drank, and _walked and visited,
and Barry's politeness never failed, but
his eyes anct voice were, no kinder for
her than for the last acquaintance they
had made; and she had been imitat-
ing his indifference. Better admit that
she had been wholly in the wrong
than stiffer so intensely under his dis-
pleasure.
Her mental debate on the rights of a
wife would have furnished matter for
discussion to an equal rights' conven-
tion, but she had no one to uphold her
in her position, and there was no equal-
ity in the suffering entailed. Barry
had fifty things to distract him; Claire
never lost sight of his altered face. She
reached an old conclusion, but one at
titaes hard to accept—that a women
must submit and be guided by her hus-
band in all the ordinary questions of
life. At least she could be true to her-
self, and not hurt Barry by acting a
part that he despised.
A servant interrupted her reflections
by bringing her a little note addressed
to Mrs. Lorimer. Claire took it with-
out asking a question, it being one of w
