We must not let our fealines run away with our sense and folgeer'the legal points in the case. Still, I want to see my grandchild. The very thought make e me trerable."

I would accept Mrs. Lcirimer as my grandchild without farther proof, but to save future trouble I shall collect every thread of evidence and !put the ques- tion beyond dispate." His calmness made her furious. "Don't call that girl Mrs. Lorimer ! She is no longer Barry's wife; she is nothing to hina 1" Barry's face changed as he said in a suppressed voice, "Huh, Amanda!

BARTLETT CeNVINCXD. Fortune, having led Mr. Bartlett within sight of happinesa, seemed dim posed to leave hira at a point where to doubt is distraction and to hope ap- pears futile. Two week a passed.. The domestic atmosphere Was lowering. Mrs. Bartlett was cross and moody, Barry silent. One day at dinner Mr. Bartlett asked, for the fifteenth tire: "Any news or commuuication to -day, Barry?" “No, is atrange. That advertisement must attract notice. You are sure it is in all the daily papers V' liYea, I have seen it -in them. It is about time for Bridget Murphy to hear of It)' "You are sure the direotions are plain?" “Yea, there can be no mistake made." "Unless, as I told you, Ito Snot] per- son ever existed," said Mr. Bartlett. "I declare, Barry, I cannot imagine how two sensible men coo- be so im- posed. upon. That old Mrs. Dillon re- fuses to see Mr. Bartlett again. It looks as if she was ashamed of the de- e,eption. It is amusing. He rides up there every seeond day and asks for an interview. The idea of dancing atten- dance on such a person to be enter- tained with more fables 1" - "There is no queation but that the story has some foundation,' said Barry coldly. "The point we want to prove is Mrs. Gascoigne's idetitay with the child that Mrs. Dillon tinned. If we could find Mme. Preyot's servant it would make no differenee alma seeing Mrs. Dillon." "I can find no traoe of your wife, Barry,"? said Mr. Bartlett :suddenly. “Ito you know where she is?" do not. I presume with some of her aunt's friends." "It is Sather odd," posited Mr. Bart- lett, blind to Barry's indifference. "a went to -day to the house where Mrs. Pennington lived. It has recently changed hands, and no One there ever heard of her. It is curious for you to lose all trace of your ttefe." "It was her own wish," said Barry. "You will h.ave to advertise for her alsm I fancy," was his eister's remark. He flushed, but did not :Teak. “It can be done, if necessary, and the public need know I nothing about it," said Mr. Bartlett, Jo a matter-of- fact tone. "However, Barry will be able to find her." “He doesn't seem very certain of it," said Mrs.-33artlett. A servant came- in opportunely. Mr. Bartlett eagerly looked up. what is it ?' "A woman wants to eee you, sir. She says it is important, something about an advertisement in the Tinaes--" "Show her into the library. I shall be there directly." He rose hastily, grasped Barry's arm, and hurried. him aorosa the hall. Mrs. Bartlett sat a few Minutes un- decided, and, then follovted them. They were eagerly listening to a small wo- man rn a fad ed shawl aild black bonnet. Mrs. Bartlett caught the last sentence. "That was my aunt' s !name, and she livedwith. a Frontal lady—Mme. Pre- vot, we tawa,ys called he. "What became of your aunt ?" asked Mr. Bartlett. "She died in France, eir. She went there with Miss Prevot When she got married." “Can you tell us the i name of the gentleman who married Miss Prevot?" Los Gamma** I have the notice 0 r wedding at home. He wag * Frenchtnan Mies Mathilde met hint. in Paris when she was there on a, "Then you have seen Miss Mathias t" "Yogi sir; I often Saw her before she was married, not eines. I went away front New York, and was out of it ten years, but I remeimber her -well. I was a young woman at the time myself." “Miss Prevot was not Mnae. Prevot's own child?" Mr. Bartlett said firmly. The woman suddenly raised her eyes and dropped them without speaking. "Did Mme. Prevot adopt the child that you call, Miss Mathilde ?" asked Barry; and then, as she hesitated, be said, "We have been told so, and that your aunt kuew the fact." “I have no right to tell secrets," she said, meeting the eyes fixed upon her. "It is no longer a secret," said Barry. “You can do good by telling what you know. Mme. Prevot and Mrs. Gas- coigne are -dead. This gentleman has been told that Mrs. Gascoigne was his daughter. If there is any truth in the story we want to prove it; and we think you can -help us." "Did Mrs. Gascoigne leave children?" asked the woman, growing interested. "She left one child., a daughter," said Mr. Burnett. "Is she poor ?" The two men locked at each other. "She is not vertorich," said. Barry. 'rate may be very poor for whitt we. Mittd you. Will give her mon-t/e?" said thewoman, with a comprehensive glance. "The Prevots were nice peo- ple." "If she is my grandchild she will live here." 'Then tell you what my aunt told me. Mme. Prevot had no child, and she used to talk of taking one, but - was afraid of the parents claiming it or giving trouble. Well, one time my aunt was sick, and she went to stop wtth a sister that lived in Mulberry street. There was a young woman in the house. Eter husband had deserted her, so my aunt wee told, and she had no friends. She was in poor health, and a kind woman in the house—a Mrs. Dillon—would see to her, and was with her when the child. was born. She died shortly after, and Mrs. Dillon took care of the baby until Mme. Pre- vot offered to adopt it. There was no one to claim it. Mme. Prevot called the child after herself, and she could not be fonder of it if it was her own. It was just a month old when she took "And that was Miss Mathilde Pre- vot, afterwards Mrs. Gasooigne ?" said Barry. "Yes, sir. My aunt went back to Madame, and never left her till she went to France with Mrs. Gascoigne." “I think the evidence is conclusive, Barry," said Mr. Bartlett, mailing. “I see no reason to doubt it." “Will you repeat this if we call on you for evidence?" asked Mr. Bartlett. "Yes, sir. I've told it once; it can do no harm to tell it again." "I shall take your address, then, so that we can find you easily." "I'm easy found; I've lived in the one place twenty years." "About the reward, name your own price," said. Mr. Bartlett, as he put away her addrees. "You have made me very happy ; I will do anything in my power for you." "I want nothing, sir. I didn't speak for the sake of a bribe. I'd do any- thing in the world for Miss Mathilde or her child. I'd like to see her." "So you shall, as soon as she comes homet But you may need money; every one can find a use for it." "I've saved enough to bury me, sir, and. I expect to stay where I am as lorataas I live. I wouldn't be troubled witlitany more than I have. I'll be g no sir. I've an errand to do be- fo e I go home." -Mr. Bartlett and Barry tried in vain to overcome her resolution; she would take nothing, and went away. An em- barrassing silence followed. Mrs. Bart- lett left the room. Her husband turned to Barry. "What are yen/ going to do about your wife ?" Barryys face hard- ened. "I have done all I intend. to do, • Mr. Bartlett." "All you intend to del What do you mean? Surely you will not prolong this separation? You cannot wails, to gate her up, or desert her." "She left me." "Yes, in a fit of girlish passion. That is nearly two years ago. You haye both had time to cool mad reflect. Go to her, Barry. A few kind words from you will make everything right-" "Nothing that I oan say will make things right. I have done my part." And he repeated what passed between him and Claire at Riverford. "And you have neither seen her nor heard from her since ?" “I have not. Mrs. Pennington wrote to me just .before her death, begging me to forget what had. happened and join Claire at her home." "And yon did not do it ?" "No; I took no notate of the letter. It assumed that Claireewas innocent; that irritated me, and I was out of town waen it was sent to the office, so that I did not read it until after Mrs. Pennington's death. I concluded to let Claire alone and see if trouble would not break down her pride and obstinacy. But a year has passed—" "And she still hods out. Barry, what if you have 'wronged her ?" "That is impossible." "Well, of all the absurd things I ever heard this excels them! Pray, what is your present position towards your wife?" “My views have not been altered. The first advance must come from her." "And you profess to be a Christian ! I profess nothing, but I have forgiven bitter injuries. Are you above exekdis- ing the sa,me virtue ?" “Mr. Bartlett, you cannot put your- self in my place." "I can imagine it. But after all, Barry"—he put his hand on the young man's shotilder—“she was very young --only twenty.. It was a foolish flirta- tion, an incomprehensible one to me, but nothing Wel se than theta' "Nothing worse! What is worse than to be false in thought Oh, no; she loved Delapierre before she ever saw my face." "Barry, I don't believe it." "Why should we quarrel? When she is here we shall both feel erldaom Any other results we must leave to the future." "But what a position for her, a know," said Mr.' Bartlett. • young; beautifiltwoman 1" "I know it, 'Ink it is of her own choosing." ; "Well, let us meet the present emer- gency.

BROTHR AND SISTER. "Well, Amanda, what do you think of the result a our visit last night ?" asked Barry, going one afternoon into his sister's dressing room. She was sitting near the fire With her bead, bent on her band. , As she looked up, he saw that she had been crying. He sat beside her and pressed her cold hand in his. "I haven't seen Mr. Bartlett for three days," she said 'after a silence. "You takethia too much to heart; the fact of Claire, being Mr. Bartlett's grandchild does Oot affect your posi- firm es his wife." “Yes, it does. I will not live in the house with her. I told him so." "Then you have quarrelled with him about her ?" "Yes, bitterly." "I think you Tare wrong, Amanda. You know ,what his . disposition is: Oppose -hint, and yore might as 'well try to move a mountain ; humor lihn, and you can do as you please with him. Yon cannot blame him for feeling hap- py, and he is anxious to forget every- thing that has been unpleasant be- tween you and him. If you are wise you will agree to this, else what is to become of you? This is miserable sitting in a dark room nursing unchari- tableness I" “If it were any one but your wife, Barry!" "It migbt be worse, Amanda. I think Claire liked you." Mrs. Bartlett suddenly drew her, hand from his clam). "I am going to France next week,' she said decisively. "Going to France 1" ' "Yes. I saw Mrs. Kingsland to -day. I shall join her party. We intend to see Jerusalem, if nothing happens. Some of my trunks are already packed." "This is nonsense, Amanda—perfect madness I" "I am serious, Barry. Do not at- tempt auy arguments against ib. I need change. - Ma. Bartlett will only have to furnish me with money, and that is the easiest thing he does for me. He will be delighted to be relieved of my presence, and I am sure I shall not miss him. He will have Claire's so- ciety to Make amends." "Your plan is a selfish one, Amanda. I have devoted myself to you for two years, and here you arrange to _ go to Europe without even consulting me." "Don't be too hasty, Barry. I promised Mrs. Kingsland that you should go with us, if I had any in- fluence over yota" ."I cannot go, .Amanda." "Cannot go! Why, Barry? Are you going to make up with Claire, now that she is wealthy? Mr. Bartlett hinted as much." "On the contrary. I told him de- cidedly that I had made all the con- cessions I intended. Claire's money has no charm for me; I would give. it all just to feel the faith in her that I had when I married her." "But as that faith is gone why not come with us and forget these ' troubles? Wiest, is there to prevent you ?" -- "Business difficulties, , Amanda. 1 have involved myself in that failure of Anderson's. I was foohsh enough to endorse for him, and it will take nearly everything I own to clear myself." "Barry, how could you be so silly.? Does Mr. Bartlett know 2" . "Oh! yes. It happened just after Claire left me. I was reckless; money seemed a curse to me, and I thought it might help him, poor fellow. I had neither wife nor home, and he had a large family. If other things had gone right I would have saved him; but matters generally took a wrong course, and the result is just this; I have nothing but my profession." "You think he will never be.able to repay you ?" . "I have given up all hope of it. Don't look so sad. I have got over the shock. I am young; if, I live I shall recover myself. I have plenty of Matinees, but I cannot afford to neglect it." "But the idea of losing your money !" "That is a sliaht loss compared with the other. Why, Amanda, as long as a man has health and the use of his brain and hands he should not com- plain. Au derson has corn m enced again on a small scale, and he has his wife and five little children." 'If you could begin again, Barry !" "How so ?" he said, with a bitter laugh. "Clear away the wreck and get new masts and sails! That is what 1 arn trying to do." "Yes, and forget the storm; sail for oalmer seas. Patting aside metaphor, romance, and sentiment, why not ob- tain a divorce from Claire ?" ._ "On what grounds?" he said ituickly. "Why ask me? You are a lawyer and understanda,he case. In some of the -Western States divorces are grant- ed for less than you have to complain of," "This is curious advice, Amanda." His quiet tones misled her. . "Not at all. You made an unwise choice; you and Claire are separated; you are not happy, whatever she may be. Must your life be sacrificed to a false idea of principle? Waitadlet me finish; I am progressive in my theories, as I intend to be in practice. It is time for the old laws of marriege to be modified and altered. You and Claire are not suited to each other. You see ao prospect of a reconciliation ; virtually you are divorced. Why not make it legal and marry again? There are fine women in your own circle. You might find one who would love you for yourself. The world would. sus- tain you in it." "But my conscience would net. I am no advocate of divorce." "Well, I don't know what you call your present condition." “A very Bad and humiliating one, but free from crime." , (Continued on Third Page,) • REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
