"Are we going to Mrs. Dillon's to- morrow night ?" , "That, is so ; I was forgetting how time passes. You must look your brightest, as the old. lady will want to see you. Barry will not be there. Good -night." Claire sat up for hours, too excited to sleep. Barry's Words and looks warned her of the barrier rising between them; and yet it was not pride that controlled her, but a sense of and a, shrinking from the responsibility elle had once so thoughtlessly and willingly assumed. . The sweet romance that tinges trivial things and veils the prosaic had been rudely destroyed, leaviug stern realities to take their just proportions. , CHAPTER %XXVI. ' A HARD easson. - .ene afternoon during the w ek Mrs. Bronson called on Claire, awe panied by. a dignified woman with eautiful features and a charming mann r. She eras a Mrs. Manton, and h-adI known Barry from his childhood. As soon as she said this Claire felt emb4rrassed, and Mrs. Marston, unconecio s of it, went on with her subject. "LI have been abroad ten years, and 1 NU so aneiouit to see him. I suppose he has °hanged a great deal." "I cannot tell." Mrs. Bronson came to the reslcue. ."Mrs. Lorimer was not acquainted with him so long ago." "No, true; I forgot that," She seemed willing to enlarge upon Barry's boyish days and youthful teeters, but her enthusiasm was painful toi Claire, who wished to hear, yet could hot ask a• question. I "You must give him my love 'and tell him I shall look for him every evening. Ism at the Clatendon. What a beetle tifuLateature his sister _was! I just inissed her in Paris; she had gbne for -se week to London." "She is beautiful still," said Mrs. Brown. "There is a full length pic- ture of her in the library." . 'Grandpa lilies to have his family wound him," Claire said, as Mrs. Moreton admired and compared the portraittwith her recollection of Am -an - de Lorimer. Lorimer. Then she turned to Mrs. Geacoigne's picture. "Mr. Bartlett's daughter by his first marriage," explained Mrs. Bi-oneon. "And your mother," said Mrs. Mars- ton, smiling at Claire. "I wish I had a daughter so like myself ! And now where is Barry's picture ?" Claire flushed, remembering the small photograph set in a locket and attached to a watelichain that she had ceased wearing two years before. "I have no picture of Mr. Lorimer." 'No picture of your husband 1' 'rile is net vain," said Mrs. B onson, lightly labghing. 'Not even a &trte de visite is to be found." . haHow foolish 1 Da beg of him to be vain for my sake ; I want a pasture of him. I have a miniature of his Mother, but he resetableehis father. Araanda inherited her mother's beauty. "So I have been told," said ,Claire, as they went back to the parlor.. . They were disoussiag an appraaching wedding when Mr. Weitner entered the room. Mrs. Bronson watched' him as he' bent over Claire's hand. If he felt embarrassed he coneealed it by his agreeable conversation, the play I of his haadsome features and brilliant eyes ,eharing in the effect produced on two of his listeners. Claire's intense quietude he attributed to the presence of these strangers, who wetched her so closely and dwelt with such unpleasant eager- ness on her few remarks. He read re- lief M her. face when they rose. She went with them to the door, and mune back slowly and thoughtfully. Weitner stood up. Comiog_ forward with honest eyes raised to his, Claire caught his passionate glance. aud end - dimly grow white with terror. Her grandfather was right; Mr. Weitner was mistaking her and deceiving him- self. To affect not to understand him was impossible. While he studied her she anticipated him, pointing to a seat, and speaking calmly but kindly. "I am glad you came to see, we, Mr. Weitner. I have spoken to grandpa 811100 I. saw yore I was right in saying he had no intention of wounding eon ; he -was thinking of my unhappy posi- tion when he spoke. Under present oircumstarioes I have to be careful of appearances; even the visits of a friend - might lead to unpleasant results." "I thought you more independent. I gave you credit for rising above the petty on dits of society. What is so- ' clay ? It does not recognize us until we can afford to live without it." • "That may be, but we must -not ; place ourselves beyond its recognition. It may not be necessary to ear happi- ness, but we should. feel entitled to its respect." "Then you are determined to sacri- Roe yourself for the empty respect of ; f peoplewho care nothing about you. You will throw away your happineas a because of a few absurd scruples that I s belong to a past age. Life is short; we should enjoy every hour of , it, not a mere existeneee lx.nteld r • ' I .

I told yon the other night that friendship betveen you and me ieimposeible." "Then we must avoid another meet ing, and end this." She nese and glanced around her Tbe door was closed, not a sound could be heard in the house. For a moment a sense of feaecame over her -a terri ble faintness that .made her lean on •the chair and coyer her face. He mia took the moverneat for one of emotion and his voids became pleading in its tone. "Yon cannot deny that you are seori. ficing yourself, blasting my life and your own happiness." . She spoke sorrowfully. . "I do deny it. I am sacrificing my self-respect in listening to YOU. Is it not an insult to speak to me like this, knowing as you do that I gave you no canoe for it? I ga,ve you credit for better thoughts, for higher principles." Her eyes filled. He started. "I do not understand." "No, I am aware of that. If you un- derstood me you would • have tried to keep my esteem; this conversation would never have taken place." "But why not?. You are separated from your hus-band; the law -sanctions divorce. . Wiser people than we take advantage of it, and form new and hap- pY unione." "Such people must give way to strong passions. I have no such excuse for violating principle, nor do I believe that happiness is secured at the ex- pense of morality." "There are several ways of defining morality." , "I know but One. Mr. Weitner,SO far as I know, there has been no wish for a divorce either on my part or ion Mr. Lorimer's. I cannot imagine what prompted you to retain these feelinga for me, nor what folly of mine led you to express them." "Your manner and kind words -the other evening encouraged me to speak as I do." •- "A poor reward for my oonfidence in you. It would seem inapossible for a man to be a disinterested friend to a woman." Her look and voice of utter. disap- pointment stung him. "How you must despise me !" "Not that, but it is hard to have one's faith in human nature se com- pletely crushed." "Say no mole; I cannot bear it from you. I am going. It is not probeble that we shall ever meet again. Europe is a good Iplace for men like me. Yon will at least shake hands with me, Mrs. Lorimer'?" "Yes, and wish you success in your career." He held her hand a moment, then let it go and turned sway. "Success is int possible where there is Co incent tive." "There is the art and your love for "I had that before I saw you and it did not satisfy me. To -morrow I shall be agedn the improvident artist, with some originality, but lacking the stability and perseverance that win repute.tioo and money." "Yon will not be so wicked, so un- manly as to let one disappointment destroy your future. Forget me and work out something worthy of you." \ "My dreams were all connected with you ; they are scattered, I cannot tell how such disappointments affect i wo- - men, bat there are men -who never sur- mount them. Failure in what seems a_ very trivia thing -the winning of a woman's heart -ruins their exietence, colors every incident in life, kills all ambition." "And You will blame me if your fu- ture is treeless ?" "No; in ray heart I must acquit ye�-. of all share iu this the worst misfor; tune that could have come to me. blinded myself to what I might have seen -your utter indifference. He went away without another Word, and Claire cried bitterly over this broken illus -ion. - Mr. Bartlett did not allude to her white face and heavy eyes when he came in, but seemed quite excited over a new idea.

"I hope not; he was very fond of her. It was at her house that I first met him and Mrs. Bartlett; she took charge of -Amanda after her mother's death. Why, she is Barry's oldest friend." "It is strange he has riot called upon her; he must know she is in the city." "One would say so; it looks as if he wished to avoid her. Of course, she would enquire about his business pros- pects and domestic happiness, and he isn't anxious to be questioned on either.
