CHIMER xxxa--Continued. . "I understand. At present there is a misIstone around 'pont peck in the shape of a Itusbeaid whoin you cannot respect or love. Do not be afraid of me; I shall never intrude upon you it any way. If you are proud, so am L I married yoa for your -kelt ; your hew- ing little made you dearer he me. It wits somethiug to work for yoa mai study your wishes. Things are altered now; the tables are turned with a vengeance." He turned to go. Claire stood .up with an effort. "Miss Horan would like you to stay for supper," she said. • "No, I thank you. Will you travel to-morrow—that 184 you do not object to my escort ?" "Why should I? _Don't you thiuk sarcasm between us' should be ended ?" He looked at her fixedly. "Perhaps so. If you are strong enough, then, it will be the kindest thing you. can do. Mr. Bartlett is an old man ; he has been very anxious about' you, and you need not doubt his love.", "I shall go willingly." "Very well. The train leaves at half -past seven; I shall be here in He bowed distantly as he left the room. Claire knelt on the rug and spread out her cold hands to the blaze. She could think of nothing, realize • nothing but the fact that in the morn- ing she must leaveMiss Horan and give up the pleasant. regular work that had brought peace and knowledge: CHATTER XXXII. awe bLD LIFE AGAIN. At seven o'clock the next morning Claire was ready for her unexpected - journey. Her trunk stood in the hall, and in the gray, wintry light she and Miss Horan aeranged:their future inter- course. "If all goes well I shall see you in a few mouths. I'll have to go east for goods and patterns, and the prospect of meeting you will, make the trip en- joyable." Claire could not trust herself to anetver, and in the silence they heard carriage wheels. Miss Horan went to the door. Claire watched Barry open- ing the gate, then ;.hastened into the hall to avoid meeting him alone. The driver was going out with the trunk on his shoulder. Barry looked at her. "Good naorning, I shope you are well wrapped up ; it ievery cold." hI have not noticed any change in the temperature." Miss Horan glanced uneasily at them. Claire had a. shawl on her arra; Barry took it on his and turned to Miss Roran. "I shall expect t� see you soon," he said, as they wartaly shook hands. "Mr. Bartlett must thank you in per- son for all your kindness to Mrs. Lorimer." "Don't speak of it," cried Miss Horan, throwing her arms arounti Claire and kissing her. Almost blind- ed With tears, Claire followed, Basereeto - the carriage. Without a woad- he helped her in and took his place oppo- site. The next momeat the door was shut, the horses , started, and Miss Horan's figure was lost in the fog that overhang the streets. At the depot he found her a seat and left her to buy their tickets. That done, he stood near her until the train; entered the long building. There wile the usual:, diffieulty in finding seats, and Claire followed him closely as .he hurried along the narrow passageway until they reached an unoccupied stile. He folded her shawl for a pillow, and, placed his valise for a footstool; then he stood •leaning on the hack of the seat until the oars started. "Are you quite comfortable ?" he asked, after a comprehensive glance. "Yes thank you." "WoLls1 you prefer being alone? I can find a seat in the forward part of the oar. Claire looked quietly at him. "As you please." Tor answer he sat beside her and drew several magazines from his pock- ets. Having leisurely cat the pages, he handed her one and opened another. Claire tied her attention on the first story, a regulation naagazine love , tale, containing the Herculean hero with au intellectual forehead; teasel ye brows, and inarble features, and the impossi- ble heroine with liquid orbs, •raven tresses, and an education embracing Hebrew and navigation. Beery end - dozily shut his book with an impatient exclamation, and seemed - entirely in- terested in the bleak, flat landscape around them. His thoughts, however, never wan- dered from the profile that intercepted his view of the proepect. How to win beck its owuer was a problem. The determination to de it was stroug s ith- in him, but the old power of charming her had forsaken hind. Everything fa- vored him ; they would be together two days and a night, and he was be- side her as a protector. Opportunities, were not wanting to show her his heart and draw from her some sign of inter- est. Bat he could not force himself to speak to her in any but the mm0 dis• tent tomes. i Her unconscious self- possession threw a spell over him. He sadly asked : himself where was the imaginative, Confiding girl he had. married? Once she had •elushed with joy at his tonal or the sound of his voice. Now his presence had lost its magnetism. She met his attentions with polite thauks, and thoughtfully answered his remarks; but he could detect neither pique nor restraint in her manner. Thus they travelled hour after hour. Claire would not admit being tired or sleepy, and she read with a petivacity that was irritating beyond endurance. Thtehalts at the sta.tious and the half hours for meals were the only breaks in the trying day, and yet Barry looked forward with dread to their arrival in New York. He had chosen. the New York Central, hoping to awaken recol- lections of their wedding journey; but they passed through places where they had spent happy days, and Claire showed neither interest nor emotion. Barry almost wished for an explosion, a collision, or a fall over a precipice— anything that would shake Claire out of her unnatural oalra. Nothing, however, happened to call forth eourage on his part or feeling on hers; even the usual delays failed him. Tired as aho wassi Claire decidedly re- fused to break the journey. She slept and nervous, afraid to move lest he should disturb the quiet face resting unconsciously against his arm. The carriage met them at the depot; Claire sank back among the warm 'cuahione more thoroughly tired than she would care to 1 acknowledge. It was all like a .vivid dream—the well- known streets, the attentive servants, above all Barry sitting beside her, watching her as if he would read her soul. The moments were flying, he knew that his golden opportunities were slipping fast, yet not a syllable passed his lips. He could hear Claire's rapid breath- ing and aee her face, calm and cold no longer, but eloquent with hope and de- light, and this for one to whom three months since she had been but a sub- ject of conversation. The distance be- tween them seenied.increasing.' When the house was in sight Claire looked eagerly from the window. The front rooms were lighted, the vestibule door was open, and Mr.Bartlett watched from the parlor window. Claire never remembered distinctly who took her out of the carriage or how she reached the low chair before- the library fire. It was a novel sensation having Mr. Bartlett bending over her, taking.off her hat andtgloves, and utter- ing broken sentences Of joy aud anxiety. ,Barry stood apart, generosity and jealousy struggling for the mastery. Mr. Bartlett was too absorbed to notice him. hA few weeks of rest will restore your color and spirits. You will be happy again • Barry haa told you everything. Why do you look so worn out ?" "She is very tired," said Barry. "We really travelled too fast." "Then it is only fatigue. Yoo are quite strong, Claire?" • "Oh ! yes ; perfectly so." "I do believe that with your hair in that style I can trace some resemblance in your face to my own. What do you think, Barry, seriously speaking ?" Claire's eyes fell under his earnest gaze. "I think there is a, very strong re- semblauce between you," Barry said. "What, in feature 2" "Yes, and in disposition. Claire's pride and, firmnees are not inferior to yours." The bitterness of his tone was Mark- ed. Mr. Bartlett's keen eyes rested on Claire's flushed cheeks. “Something is wrong," he thought. "Dinner will soon be ready," he said. "Claire, you will find everything upstairs; I got you a nice little maid this morning." Claire stood up, (pile willing to escape an explanaeion, but Barry also made a move to the door. "I shall say. good -night," said he. "Why, what do you mean? What is all this?" cried Mr. Bartlett. • "You must excuse me; I am very hungry, and I am very tired. I /have brought you—your grandchild. This is the home she preferred." "What the `devil dotyou mean" Bar- ry? Isn't -the house large enough for the three of us? Her home is yours. You know you are welcome to every- thing here. Are you too proud to . ac- cept what is virtually your own? What do I want with such a place as thi's What is it worth to me empty? I want you and Claire in it." uYou are mistaken, Mr. Bartlett. Claire will not ask me- to remain here." "Come, Claire, speak to Barry. What is it all about? I supposed you had forgiven and forgotten everything before this." Claire stood silent; her face had grown suddenly white and. set. "She has lost all love for me. She has learned to live without me." • "I had to. 1shonld have died if I had let myself think.". "But this is child's play—sheer non- sense 1 It is a thankless task to medi- ate between husband and wife; but have you both coesidered this step? Is it by mutual consent ?" "It is Claire's decision, not mine. I made every acknowledgment, every concession in my power. She firmly refused to return tomo; she is here for your sake, not for mine." "Is this generous, Claire ?" His tone was pleading. "I cannot help it. It is not my fault if I am changed." "Thia is tenice entanglement. What eitner's that eveni g was a mere hawse. I never pas such a week as his has been. I see 1 pain y u ; well, e will talk no more c this 4ibjeot for he Present." Fer hours after dinn r Clare lay on he sofa, too exci to 4beep. Mr. artlett sat beside er, h lding her ands, while hs told er of his life. er intereet and sympathyiiade it an asy if not a pleasant ask, vnd when it as done she put her rmsEround his t. eck and softly kissed him. "That is 11 over," she whisp red ; 'you have e now to love yon." 1 In the weeks that f llowe he gath- ered from her every incid nt of her young life, lingering fo dly cn her re - !collections of hermoti er, never weary - ling of the pictures she drew jof the old !existence with its ceas less cjharms and sad vicissitudes. He d light d to recog- nise in Mrs. Gascoi ne's haraoter a resemblanceto that f his first love, and everything that C aire aid proved to him that his datig ter had been pe- culiarly blessed, espec ally in her mar- riage. He also won from Claire her own painful experien e, th t she had hoped to be silent apo ; but there was no resisting his tende ness and the per- fect confidence as to is f •th in her with which he inspire her. Understanding her etter, he patient- ly set to work to resto e her to the po- sition which be knew wou1I best se- cure her happinese. laire found rest and occupation in car ying ut the pro- jects that hitherto had been but theories and visions. How ar M. Bartlett sympathized with th se she could not determine, but he den'ed II nothing, and drew her on to • ish imply for the pleasure of gratify ng her desires, One cold afternoon • e waa reading in the library when sh came in, her eyes beaming with atisfaction. Mr. Bartlett threw aside 18 piper to ad- mire and listen. "Well, have 3 on su scrihed to every charity in the city ?" .1 1 "I left a few for yo " - "How considerate I' "I have been goint throiigh homes for working women." "Sit down here an them. Do you like t e idea, tell 1 me a,bont ?), beeomes of your happiness 1 How do you propose to carry out this arrange- ment? Dine with us, Barry, and let us talk the matter over coolly after clioner." s'I have exhausted the subject, sir. I cannot argue it coolly. Claire knows how I feel about it, and I hope she un- " derstands herself." He reached the ' door. "But the' 'world, Barry What will people sa3a? Stay with us for the sake of appearances." 'No; I will play no part for the sake of appearance. Let people talk. My affairs are common property; I have boat my old sensitiveness about them." "But, Barry, you and I need; not quarrel; we are still friends." “You are right." He wrung Mr. Bartlett's hand and left the room. "Poor fellow !" said Mr. Bartlett, as the door closed On him. "This is the climax of his troubles. Why, my pet, what lias come over you? This is a death blow to all my hopes. You have overturned my air castles in a second. Barry has been struggling with difficul- ties of all kinds. I think .if you knew • how he has suffered you would pity ; him." CHAPTER XXXIII, CLAIRE FINDS OCCUPATION. "Yes, very it'll:Ida.
