"Yon were going to tell me what oc- inured last night," she said at laste "Oh! yes ; we saw the old lady. What a 'curious family! There was quite a large dinner party-Weitner among others. He makes. rapid pro- gress," "Yes; he is another of Mr. Bartlett's proteges. What incomprehensible fancies my husband takes! Still, Mr. Weitner is very agreeable.", "Yes, and a capital artist. He is painting now for Mr. Dillon." _ "Indeed! Is Mr. Dillon also a con- noisseur?' “He has met one. His art jargon and technical terms are fine, and Weit- per drew him out unmercifully at the table." approve of ridiculing a man in his own house ?" ; but had you been there you atould not have resisted the temptation. 4is coolneis and self sufficiency were go invulnerable and his blunders so amusing. His wife excels him; some cif her French was beyond description. It is ungenerous to laugh at them, but *Potation always disgusts -me. I really admire people who dare to b4 themselves under all circumstances !" “Yes, what is natural is always in- teresting." ' “That is so. Old Mrs. Dillon is an instance. I suppose that in speech and manner she is . to- . day just what she was forty Years "There they are !" cried Mrs. Bart• lett, nodding to some persons on the gangway. "I shall not have a dull ,• moment now,* that witty Mr. Barnes is one of the party." ' Half .an hour 'after the farewells were sleeken Mr. Bartlett Was Beek in die carriage, litid l*ry stood »n the pier Witching the: receding .'Veitiel. - When the crowd dlipersed he ,refuied to go horde with Mr. Bartlett, and went to his office. He was hurt and dispirited,- annoyed with everybody, and himself in particular. Hard work was the best cure for his condition of mind, and, happily, his business needed all his attention. Still it was an effort to forget his domestic cares and apply himself to the ordinary routine of his profession. He wrote steadily until it was time to close the office, and rolled up some papers to examine during the evening, determined to forget painful reflections. Having dined in solitary state, he went to his room, where he pursued his task quite undisturbed. About nine o'clock he went out into the brac- ing air, and, not caring to meet friends, he turned out of Broadway and strolled eking Twelfth Streets towards Sixth Avenue. Passing the house in which Weitner boarded, he saw the artist's room was lighted, and rentetnbered a standing invitation to dropin and criticise when in the neighborhood. Here was distrac- tion, if not amusement, for Weitner seemed constitutionally cheerful and talkative. Barry ran up the stairs, tapped at the door, and entered to a cordial "Come in." • The room was ablaze with gas and edolent of tobacoo. Weitner was tretched in an easy chair reading a etter. On the table was a desk of in - aid woods, the contents of which he was evidently examining. He looked at Barry through the fumes of his pipe. "Halloo! Welcome to my den. I am glad to see you." He rose, thereby displaying his biil liant dressing gown, shook bands with Barry, drew forward another easy chair, placed it opposite his own, and took from the mantelpiece a richly mounted meerschanne. "I use briar -wood myself, but you rich fellows like something fancy. That was given me yesterday. Try it." He sat down and began to refold the letter. "I am afraid I have disturbed you," said Barry, looking at the pipe, yet conscious of Weitner's movements. '"Oh I no; not at all. tell. you : I've been carrying this desk about with me for more than a year, and to -night I concluded to look over the things in it and see if they Were worth keeping. The man who owned them was a curi- ous genius. I boarded in the house with him; never was very _ intimate him, but when he died no relative ap- peared to .olitina anything, and I was .aaked to take charge of this des and a few papers." "Did he leave property ?" "No, not he. Re was fast, and spent every cent on himself. His watch and clothing were sold to pay his board bill and funeral expenses. There are no business papers here, nothing buticorre- spondence. Judging from some of these lettere, he was a bad man. I should like to know the person involved in one transaction. Read those, will you? Some poor woman's happiness was destroyed through his agency. e There are no names mentioned; the 'p initials are used." He pushed a small s packet towards Barry. A knock at the 'I' door interrupted him. a "A lady and gentlemen, sir, to see e you," said the servant. "Say I shall be down in a moment." t He went quickly into the next room. c Barry could see him as he made a c hasty toilet, talking all the time. "I s was puzzling, over them 'when you h came in. I think-" (here his voice f was lost in the splashing of water) vs "was a scoundrel. Just look at them; it can do no harm. You see they are a written by a woman. I wonder why h women can't keep out of such contemp- c tible plots? Whover she was; she f certainly had great influenee over n him-" The cone] usion 1 of the sentence was ri spoken in the depths of a closet, out of p which he soon appeared ready to go h. wn-stairs. 'I shan't be very long," helsaid, un- t coveringchis Ewell and showing a little vs painting. "There you have *Sunshine " after a Storm.' like the picture?' re as my friend Melnotte would say." Ile w struck an attitude, shook back his se wavy hair, and left the mem. "What a happy fellow I" soliloquized b Barry. "Here he lives with his pie- a tures,. his books, and his pipe. The it odor of the room would give me a per- manent headache: Yet he seems to oa, enjoy every day of his existence. I h suppose the secret is he isn't married, or he may be in love." th Having admired the picture, Barry nt back to the table, lit the pipe, ad - ted it for calm enjoyment, and drew packet toward him in the languid y people do things that hold for neither interest` nor pleasure. here were no envelopes; each letter s carefully wrapped in paper, num- ed and dated. The first he took up s number itix.. It was dated back years, in January. He threw aside wrapper and opened the small, vy sheet. The first words fixed his ention.

"Did you find Mrs. Dillon as reliable aS Mr. Bartlett represented ?" !"Quite • she told the story con- nectedly. Now that her conscience is easy, she may live to a hundred. Ifer vitality is surprising." 1“Did she make any more revela- tient: ?" i"She gave Mr. Bartlett a number of his own letters to his wife. Mese Bart- lett tied them together before her death and put with them a note describing what occurred after his departure and oleo the condition of her health. It is very conclusive proof, as you must admit." i"Oh ! I admit everything; but I thinkitir. Bartlett is ungenerous in the dieplay of his feeling.
