Remembering the expression f her face While he spoke to her, r. Bartlett was afraid he had said too much. He blamed himself for his severity, and made up his mind never to interfere again, by word or deed. Barry. might plead his own -cause whero and how he pleased; "What perfect nonsense, Claire! Why, you married him. Yon 'should have consideted all this before going through the ceremony." "I know it. I was very ignorant; I thought I understood him. You know how completely mistaken I was, not onli in his cooficlenc ' in me, but itt my influence over him. To him I was but aechild, and a letter ithout a signature was more than my ord." ""You thought him perfection." "No, not altogether perfection, but above wronging me se inncla and being so harsh and unfeeling.

Under a terrible presenre he showed qualities for 'which you are not. prepared. In ordinery circumstances you might have lived, and died without suspecting their existence. No man cam vouch for himself under unusual and unlocked for di,fficulties. Barry's passions are strong, and it is well for you that they are." "But I have lost , all confidence in myself in regard to him. My ideal was a wrong one, and. I have formed no new: one." '"Let ideals &101313, and let Barry plead for himself.

"I did not think he could so unkind," she said bitterly. • "He does not mean to be unkind, Claire. It is a business affair alto- gether. He will not be away very long.

He detained her, putting his hand on hers and speaking fs.st and. decidedly. "Claire, would you like to join Barry he England? Yon could travel togeth- er for a few monthb and then returia.

Miss Livingston's :Wedding was very much like others equally fashionable. There was the usual blockade of car- riages about the church, and inside were music, the perfume'of flowers, the rustle of sillte and satins, the glitter of diamonds, and the sweet tdnes and sweeter smiles of which Mr. Bartlett had warned Claire. Mere externals could not affect her; she 'lucid learned to separate the romance froth the re- ality. She heard two hurciab beings promising to- live together till death should part them; to comfort and sup- port each other in every tr >able ; to bear with each other's faults,. to seek and encourage what was noble in each nature; to live honest, responsible lives that would influence eociety and help to stem the many currents of evil un- dermining it. Failing in these, their marriage would be a mockery. The eeremony with all its ostentation overJ the one stern fact remained: that in each lay the power of making the other happy. or miserable, and that withoot the aid of divine strength the possiblity of it. being the latter would last a long as lifeAt 'times Claire saw thr ugh the mist of tears, and her self -c ntrol al- most failed her. At times slie had an impression that Barry was near her, and she would turn, but only to meet the curious glances 'of coinparative strangers. Just then she fel as if she could put her hand in his afid by the eloquence of silence make hiri reed her heart. But she looked in vaii for him. Although the bridegroom . as one of his best friends, Barry held 4o his pur- pose and did not appear at the church_ or the house. REAL ES,TAtA fOltai3A.tit.

Janks MULHOLLAND, Clinton P. 0. 730x4 Hie- absence accomplished more than his presence could have done. Claire could not put him out of her thoughts. Trivial things recalled words and looks of his not easy to forget. That evening, while Mr. Bartlett slept, she sat near him with her head ha her hands, think- ing with her heart of Barry. Memory eame to aid love and re- p1ace0. later scenes of the past. The old days succeeded each other; in fancy she lived them over, How well she re- membered Barry's first vie -it to her uncle 1 His imperative ring biought her to the door, lest another should ' arouse her sleeping aunt.- Then she asked him to the parlor and took his card to her uncle. Coming back, he was still standing, hat in hand, looking ateher mother's 'picture. She could hear his firm steps following her up the stairs and into her uncle's room, where she had placed a chair near the lounge and- brought forward a little table and writing materials. Tier uncle's low -toned introduction— "Miss Gascoigne, my neice, Mr. Lori- mer" ---made her look at this stranger with interett. Her father's experience had given her a distrust of lawyers, and Mr. Lorimer little gneased her thoughts as she at at Mr. Penniagton's desk assorting papers, at times -raising her eyes to study his face. Would he give an honest opinion of the case before him, or would he lead her uncle into fresh and useless etpenses and a long suit that would end in defeat and mortification? The earnestness of his manner -was pleasing, and there was a look of power in the firm, strong features that inspired con- fidence in his judgment. After -events served to confirm the good impression then formed of his ability to grasp difficulties and combat them with)success. Mr. Pennington's death made all his efferts futile, but Claire had learned to believe in his sin- cerity and to be grateful for the kind- ness he had shown the dying man. His -visits after her uncle's death came back to her; the quiet evenings spent in the faded old parlor, when her aunt dozed in the easy chair and she sat opposite Mr. Lorimer in her plain black these, wondering why he came so often and remained So late. His love for her was a passion, strong as it was sudden, and took for granted all the at -- tributes he wished her to posess. Hers for him was of a slower, purer growth, and was rooted in [ respect and. confi- dence. As he had beep the first to ha- terest her thoughts„ao he had won her fresh, warm feelings ardent faith; for what, after all, is woman's love but faith in man's truth? This ant of liv— ing over herlove for him served to give it new birth ; nor could she separate from it that which developed and per- fected it—his love for her. His delicate attentions, his respect for her slightest wishes, his tender regard for every- thing that concerned. her were proofs of ,how he had esteemed her. ,She could better appreciatell them now and could gym athize with hina (Continued on rhird Page.)' 1.-fAliM FOR SALE—Lot No. 7, in the 4th Con- -a: ceseionell. le.
