THE HURON EXPOSISOR,

LORIMER 4ND WIFE.
A CONTINUED STORY.
CHAPTER rt.—COSITINXIXD.
CHAPTER. IN.
MRS. BARTLETT An' HOME.
Mr. Lorimer accepted Mr. Bartlett's
'invitation without thinking it necessary
to consult his wife. Wild flowers taken
from their shaded nooks may grow to
greater beauty in a hot -house, but it is
an experiment. Life at Mr. Bartlett's
;was too luxurious to be healthy. Claire
saw so little of her husband that any
knowledge of his real motives or plans
! seemed. impossible. The present ab -
I sorbed him completely, and easy means
made hint indifferent to the future.
' I Lite had been thus far very pleasant. .
He had met with no severe shooks, no
i reverses. His experience of fashionable
;life had led him to seek a wife beyond
lite Iimits. His tastes were exclusive.
1He liked, a rosebud with the dew on it
;better than the open flower. Yet reason
ihad not wholly . guided him in his
Chioe Claire's beauty had first at-
tracted him. He had fallen in love
:with a face, but the face of which he
had always dreamed. His }naiads
had served him well. Claire was a
,womari with undeveloped capabilities.
:Those for loving and trusting had alone
!been tested, and with these he was
!satisfied. His ideas of roarriage were
conservative ; he believed -in the i hus-
Rtand, being ahead in all things, and
liked the simile of the ivy and the oak.
At this period of her life it would
ihave been well for Claire if she hadtold
:either thoughtsteven the silly on es,to her
husband Barry Barry was not indifferent,
;but he did, not understand. her tempera-
ment nor the intensity of her feelings. On
/Some of the past scenes of herlife Claire
' was voluntarily silent.. Never having
felt the want of a dollar, Barry was se.,
verei as the young are apt to be, on
those whom necessity makes borrowers.
This lack of charity affected Claire. To
have her father lightly thought of was
to her the keenest suffering. She could.
; not submit hie actions to the crucible
; of Barry's judgmentatneither could lie
explain the cause of his failure.
She had. felt its effect on him; had
watched him day after day in his vain
struggles against the most adverse c*-
cumstances. Others knew of his debts;
none but hie, Child knew how the proud
1 man suffered under hina. .
His death in the midst of these trou-
bles left with her an abiding 'grief. lit
would have been a relief to share it
with Berry, but ! as yet neither knew
much of the -other's mental past. Such
confidences porno late in married life, if
at all.
Claire had ;spent her days in com-
forting others, and hiding her own feel-
ings, and habit had become second na-
ture.
They had been a week in the house,
and Claire had not seen Mr. Bartlett,
as he had had a relapse, but he intend-
ed to come down to her first reception.
1 This was an ordeal, but. when she was
ready for the long evening Barry did
not give her credit for being either nerv-
OUS or timid. ' Her wedding -tripe had
improved her , health and spirits, her
wedding -dress was becoming, and so he
thought the coloe in her cheeks was a
sign of pleasure. '
"Are you satisfied, Barry?"
He laughed. ‘The trouble is, people
will wonder how. you were satisfied to ly
marry such a plain -looking fellow as I
She laughed a him without speak-
ing. i
"You are anxious to see and be seen,
Claire." t
! "No, indeed, Barry ; there is no plea -
1 sure in being stated at by aeople that I
' neither know no care for."
"These show-rtights are tireeozne, but
they have their advantages. Your love -
in -a -cottage theory would not make me
reach richer." /
"I thought yoa ware rich enough."
; "Rich mutt& I How much satisfiee
1 a matt 7 Mr. Bartlett ie twice my age
,
1 and very rich, yet he iif planning to in-
orease his wealth. VPhat I have is noth-
hag compared with what I Want.
Wealth is power."
His eager, dissatisfied look raade
Claire sigh. After all, she was but' one
of his needs.

Mr. Bartlett's easy manner was
soothing and the arriva1 of guests quite
welcome, The introductione were Over,
the music had begun, and Claire,tetas
feeling quite athome with Mr. Bartlett
when his wife" and Mr. Delapierre came
up.
"Claire, will you, lead the gerroan
with Mr. Delapierre ?" she asked, With
her sweetest smilig
"Oh indeed I ott_nnot," said Claire,
flushing. "I can't dance.
"Mrs. Bartlett looked surprised, Mr.
Delapierre incredulous.
"Not dance !" she exclaimed. "Why,
Barry is very fond of dancing. Oh!
try, Mr. Delapierre is an excellent
teacher, I assure you."
Mr. Bartlett seemed highly amused
at Claire's decided refusal, and said in
a satirical tone that he would find here
seat if she cared to "see the perfOrm-
ance."
Barry was conspicuous among the
dancers, his partner being a very pretty
girl with fair hair and blue eyes.
Claire alternately watched them and
the bewildering mazes into which Mr.
Delapierre led his inerrylollowers. She
was not at ease, although she tried to
look as calm and indifferent tas those
around her.
The sweet strains that made the clan
cers oblivious to everything but thei
own enjoyment had a depressing effee
on her. Barry had for the moment lort
gotten her. The remarks made neai
her were not enlivening. ,
"It is a selfish dance," said One.
"They forget how time goes over. that
Mr. 'Delapierre must have been born to
lead the german; and Miss Meredith!
she 18 indefatigable." e
"But what a lovely4ancer she is—So
graceful and light in her motions I She
and Mr. Lorimer weretthe observed; of
all ebservers last winter. Many thozzght
it would be a match. However, she is
an outrageous flirt."
' "This may. last till morning," Said
Mrs. Walker, joining the group pear
Claire's Bola. It all depends upon the
strength of the musicians' arms and
lungs. There! that figure with seeds
is pretty. Look it Mr, Lorimer tWine
his around Miss Meredith! Pink gauze
suits her style. Where is Mrs. Lorimer?
One would hardly think such a person
existed."
Mrs. Lprimer was growing tired of it.
The lights made her eyes ache, and the
perfume Of the flowers was overpower-
ing. She must escape from the crowd-
ed room, the hum of voices, the rust-
ling of silks, and the hollow langliter
that jarred on every nerve. She, went
unnoticed into the deserted library,
and, resting her head on her hand,
thought sadly of Barry's love for .so-
ciety.
The german being over, a redo'w.a.
followed. Mrs. Bartlett saw Barry'
whirling around with Miss Meredith
and Mr. Delapierre leaning against the
,mantle -piece. A look brought him; to
her side.• ,
"If you want an interview with Mrs.
Lorimer, now is your time. She isi in
the library: Barry will look for herr
when this is over." -
Mr. Delapierre went into the hall,
and, passing behind the tall plants that
screened the musicians, entered the
• library by a side -door. The noise at-
tracted Claire, and, looking around, She
was dooeijed by his start of surprit3e
She turne her face from the light, but
he saw t1ie tears that she brualied
away.
"Ah! Mrs. orimer. Sarely yen have
not left us; Your presenea is already
missed." . •
",The light and heat were toe rotrch
for me," she said distantly.
Mr. Delapierre seated himaelf, indif-
ferent to her cold manaer.
"You cannot imagine how much I
tlaeught of you these past years, but the
seclusion in which you lived prevented
me from enquiring About you in person.
I was glad to learn through others that
Mr. Pennington was so very kind ,to
you:"
"He took care of me after father's
death," Claire said, without raising 1er
eyes.
"And; as I understand, left you a
sum sufficient -for a young lady's need.,
It was most generous of him. Yolur
poor father at one time hoped to have
made you independent of everybody s
regards money. His sickness and dea h
were very unexpected. I regretted t e
unsatisfactory state of his affairs. I
don't think his life was -insured f r

Claire shook her head.
morrow afid let me know it the next
.time you eome here ?" -
"I might do it within the week. If
you like I can write to you, stating how
the account stands."
The, glsnee that accompanied his
words roused het to anger. She stood
up, nervously opening and ehntting her
fauf . 1 :
• "idon't want you to write to me. It
is not necessary when you are here flo
often, and besides--"
She blushed alid hesitated.
"You Would prefer not to let Mr.
Lorimer know of this," said her wily
antagonist.
"Not for the present. It is not his
•:busineas to pay my father's debts."
• The music had ceased. Mr. Dole-
pierre felt that his time was limited.
"Then I shall try to bring you • my
statement very soon." .
"And if I pay you what I ask yott
will give me all those papers that father
eigned ?"
"They 'will be yours by right." Mr.
Delapierre offers:Al his hand. Claire
mechanieally gave him here. He bent
over it, saying softly, "We are friends,
are.we not ?"
"I don't know. The future must de-
cide that," •
As Mr.1Delapierre spoke Barry drew
aside the curtain between the library
said parlor.
"What'is the future to decide?" he
asked in -surprise.
"Whether we are to be friends or
foes," said Claire, with an effort to
speak calmly.
tiOne would think you -were rehears
ing a charade," Barry said, looking
•lanioldy from one to the' other.' Mr.
Delapierre felt it necessary to explain.
'4'11ra. Lorimer and I were talking
()fold times, and matters relating to
Mr. Gascoigne's affairs. She was in-
clined to misjudge my feelings for her
father, and, having explainedj iny posi-
tion, I offered my hand in token of re-
newed confidence and esteem."
, Barry glanced at Claire's bent head.
"My wife is rather sensitive on that
subject," he said, as if willing to end
the conversation. Mr. Delapierre said
something about Mrs. Bartlett and left
them. •
Barry tnrned to Claire. "Rather a
strange occasion for such an explane-
tion—a reception night and the hose
full of people!"
His cold voice and manner chilled
her.
"I didn't seek the explanation. I
came in here from the light and noise.
I wasn't thinking of Mr. Delapierre."
"He is a man for whom I have no re-
spect," Barry said bluntly: "His flirta-
tions with young married women are
notorious, and after this have as little
as possible to say to him.' Don't renew
any old intimacy'. I will not hear your
name linked with hiseeven as an ac-
quaintance."
"And yet he is a welcome visitor
here, in your sister's house. How can I
avoid seeing him ?"
"Amanda is ten years older than you,
Claire, and understands the world bet-
ter. Mr. Delapierrre transacts business
for Mr, Bartlett, and his coming here is
necessary. It is not and must not be
any reason why you should receive him.
Let tna go back before our absence is
noticed."
Claire teolt his arm without speaking.
Her downcast eyes and firm lips ,made
him doubt the wisdom of his Words.
Perhaps he had been over -hasty in as-
suming the right to control her actions.
Still, he meant what he said, severe as
it might seem, and was not going to re-
tract. •
"Barry looke annoyed," said Mrs.
Bartlett to Mr. Delapierre, with whom
she was dancing.
"I don't think he liked my talking to
his wife. She is the same impulsive lit-
tle girl. Already she has told me
•t- something that he is not to hear."
"Take care ; Barry is very jealous."
Her eyes flashed wickedly."
"It would please yea to excite his
jealously," thought Mr. Delapierre.
"Perhaps I can arrange for that."
"Forgive me if I seem curious. e-
lieve me, I have always felt interest+d
in you. Your father and I were warkn
friends."
His pathetic tones and confidential
manner roused Claire.
"Did he owe you anything?" s e
asked, fixing her eyes on his face.

."Well, he did owe me somethin

"But if you were nearly paid your
debt you should not keep • them all.
Will you tellmehow reticle is still dus
to you, and give me some of jthose • a

Mr. .Delapierre stroked his long, silk
moustache with his gloved fingers an

"I shouldn't like to part with thent

ly.

Barry's devotion to Claire for the rest
of the evening did not bring back her
. spirits. Her abstraction increasing, he
found it hard work to talk for both and
appear very happy. So Mrs. Lorimer,
although pretty and graceful, did not
make a favorable impression on the
• majority of the guests.
"Wants style," said one. "Lacks
self-possession," said another. "No
conversational powers," remarked a
third. "A pretty head, but nothing in
it," concluded a fourth.
When the last carriage went away
Claire went up stairs, leaving the
brother and sister together.
"It was very successful, Barry," said
Mrs. Bartlett. "Not a regret sent, and
every one was charmed with Claire! I
• am not going to add to your vanity by
repeating what was said to me."
Barry did not look delighted. Late

"Amanda, hasn't

The blood rushad to her cheeks.
. "41r, Bartlett employs him and in-

"But why need you be so intimate
with him?" '
"I don't know what you mean, Bar-
ry. Mr. Delapierre always acts like a
gentleman in my house. Everybody
receives him." --
"Yes, and others of his kind—men
not fit to enter a respectable house.
That does not alter the question. Your
p lition protects you. It makes you
and some others daring. If I could
prevent it he should never speak to a
woman whom I liked."
"Now Barry, you are off on one of
your hobbies."
"I am perfectly in earnest, Amanda.
It hurt me to -night to see that man
touch Claire's hand."
Mrs. Bartlett's eyes flashed.
"Yon are easily shocked. He touches
mine several times a week."
"And do yon think I like it? But I
cannot control' you, and you sneer. at
