Mrs. Bartlett smiled curiously. "Mr. Delaperre is an old friend of your wife'a family Olaire seems inclined to conceal the past, but Lr Dela- , pierre speaks openly of his visits at Mr. Gascoigne's. Did he object to Mr. Delapierre being acquainted with his daughter!" "Claire was a mere child at the tinaer he said thoughtfully. "Girls of fifteen are not mere chil- dren in these days of ours, Barry, and Mr. Gascoigne's peculiar mode of living mast-- have brought Claire in contact with the world'to a more than usual extent. She is very pretty-, and she may be very innocent, but do not im- agine that she has lived in seclusion simply because she was not in seciety. Her worldly knowledge 1 may exceed that of young women who pass their time in the trivial amusements we know of." She saw that her words had the desired effect; still, he spoke musingly. "Claire did.' not see him for four years. She has had time to forget him, even if there Was any intimacy be- tween them, which I doubt." “I don't see why you should excite yourself about the matter, Barry." She spoke carelessly. "Mr. Delapie•rre may not have beenat w1 iutimate with Claire. It waa his manner the day you were married, aid some things he said., that gave me the inapreasion that therehad been an attachment, at least on his side. However, 1 may .be mistaken. He always uses superlatives, no matter how trifling the subject.? Barry -is silence was growing serious. Mrs. Bartlett came closer to him; apeaking softly. "Yon won't say anything about this to Claire. It would do no good. She need not see much of Mr. Delapierre. He le a proud man. I don't think he will make an effort to overcome her coolness. You may be right in your ideas, as ahe is so very young. I shall try and not let them be thrown to- gether." She kissed him good night and left hina to reflect on her words. Each had raised a demon iri the others breast. Barry's concern for Claire, his pride in her girlish innocence, the implied dif- ference between them, filled his sister's heart with hatred; and the arrow she had planted was rankling in his. He had ascribed Claire's silence about,her old life ta pride and delicacy. He had asked no questions, trusting that in time she would open her heart to him as her truest friend. Could hia sister's suspicion be cor- reet .1;ras it possiblethat his wife had inemordeit that she would gladly keep from hiri - memories iu which, he would neer share? He began to re- call the words and. behavior of other girla of fifteen. All this time he for- got what a one-sided view of the ca e he was taking. Not for a moment c7id he pat himself in his wifefs place. was blaming her for not being com- municative with him, and, at the same time he prided himself on the fact that he had never asked a question or shown any curiosity about her father and his affairs. 'Yet he knew that Claire was neither gushing nor seetimentEd. He did not reflect thaivery sensitive people never give confidences unasked, perhaps fer the reason that they cannot express all they feel, and fear leak of sympathy. Barry formed a very unjust and foolish resolation-to watah and be silent. ; CHAPTER. IV. A VALUAIILE PICTURE. Early the next day Claire went to her aunt% house. Rest seemed impossible until she had satisfied herself about Mr. Delapierre's claim on her father. Mrs. Pennington looked anxiously at her. "What is it, Claire ?" "The oicl trouble again, auntie. Have any money? Are all -nay bills settled? I think my pride yan away with my common seinae. How much did my wedding cost 7" great deal, Claire, but .you have enough to meet all the expenses." "It was very foolish, wasn't it, al:m- ale?" "Perhaps so}" said Mrs. Pennington; smiling at her earnestness; "bat you satisfied your pride and you will not need the ro011ey." Claire sighed. , "I need it now, auntie." "What is the trouble, child? Does Tr. Lorimer want money ?" ' "No, ok ! po ; I do, hut I can't ask • him to give it to me for such. a:purpose. I, wish I could earn money! How nice if must be to have money that is de- efteledly one's Own Where are the hills ? I hope tlaere is something Mrs. Pennington watched her as she opened the bills and added the amounts. Her exclainationa of surprise amused her aunt. who knew the cost of fashiou- able weddiegs. "Was father very extravagant ?" El e asked after a long silence. “Fle liked everything very haudos aad good." , "1 must be like him. There is o;Ie consolation ; Bares; will not have to b me anythieg for months to oo e."' She wrote rapidly for a whil last looked up with a bright s ile. :, and at 3 "If there are no more bills to come in I shall still have 6500. That may be enough, if -not -" "Claireeare yeti fretting about your father's debts ?"; "I would like to feel sure that they were all paid," she flushed. "Ma dein'tehild, don't think of paying any ddattend without , consulting . Mr. Dupree. ,He will tell you if there are any debts still unsettled. It is BO long ago that I have forgotten.' He must have paperetto ehow everything ; and be guided. by me, don't give money without his consent. You may inquire it all yet." , Claire looked . dubicres, but promised to dp nothing raehly. She went beak to Mr. itartiett's feel - tee quite contented. Nothing, she thought, could be easier, if Mr. Dupree were wining, than ta • pay Mr. Delapierre his claim, and forget that he ever had the power cef annoying her. sa He lied been her father's principal credittor, and the roost unkind and ex- acting of all. It would be a new life to know that her father's once honest name wail cleared. She found a little note from Mrs. Bartlett advising herto he down for an hour before dinner, as they were going 1 to the theatre: Not being sleepy, Claire dressed for the evening and went down to the library. The gas was not lit, but the lop were blazing On, the andirons, and an •eaate-chedr In front of them was verytipitirig. She took pos- aession of it, and, leituing, back, with her liands' Clasped on its broad aim, watebed- thelitht flickering over the pictures and boo -oases. Looking behind het, she saw Mr. Bartlett stretched on the lonnge under a dark cloak. He had drawn it almost over his head, but his piercing eyes were fixed on her. Claire started. "Did I waken you?" she asked. "No; I was not asleep. Move ypnr chair so that I can see you while we talk. Were you very tired after. last night ? I forgot'you are still young.' "I was tired. We have been out so much this week." "Yes, yon will find Mrs, Bartlett a very gay companion." "Shall I sit rwjth you until she comes down, or would you rathei be alone?" He laughed. "Mrs. Bartlett seldom favors me with her society. When I'm laid up I spend most of my time alone. I chose an ornamental Wife, so I must accept the:consequences. There is a, great disparity in our ages; yea and, Barry will not have that obstacle to happiness. He is 28. Do you ob- ject to telling me your age?" "Not at all; I shall be 20 on the 15th of December." "TwentyI" mused Mr. • Bartlett. "Yon may have along life before you. I wonder what use you will make of it - whether when yon come to nay age. -you will be able to look back and, feel that you,have tried to make th meat of your advantagts, and °out hated to the happines of others, or whether, like me, You will realize that you have nevet considered any one's comfort but your own." Claire twisted her hands and watched his face. "What pretty hands you lave! Are you fond of diamonds ? That is a fine one in your ring." , "I like this," she t said, blushing, because Barry gave it to me." "And not because it is worth a thou- sand_dollars and it pleases your vanity to see it sparkling on your white hand?" "1 should be as happy withoht it." "Then you have never compared it with those of your friends and, argued the question, "Which cost the most' ?" Claire shook her head. "I have few friends; not one of -them has a diamond THE HURON EXPOSITOR. --r-- would bear suspicion witti such sub- lime resignation," Barry said, laughing. "I would not," his sister said ern- phatioally. . I "Nor I," was Claire's rapid decision. "Tet you are admiring the lesson of the play." 1 -, . tbThat is Tate another thing, Barry. . I am 'sure that I never could be, uuder . any aircumstances, a Pia di Tolomei. Perhaps the real Pia was . not so un- usual a oharaoter as Ristori makes her." "These rare 'women only exist in fic- tion," said Mrs. Bartlett. "Here is some one better qualified to give an opinion than I am." Mr. Dels,pierre came into the b x as she spoke. ' Claire had determined to meet him with proper unconcern, but the sudi en - nese of his appearance and Ba ry's rapid glance embarrassed her. Her cheeks burnedras he bent over her and and murmured his f salutation. 1 hen he discussed the plot and players -ith Mrs. Bartlett, but Claire listenei in vain for the sound of Barry's voice A word from him would have reass • red her, but ' missing it, she turned her face to the stage and studied the cur- tain. . When it rose she tried to f rget everything but the play, but B ry's silence was cruel, and Ristori mad the 1 heroine's misery so real that Clair be - It gan to weave the ,sorrows of the deing 1 Pia with the possibilities of her own I future. In the middle of the d atli- 1 scene she felt her seuses leavieg her, and her head fell forward on -the v lvet railheg. - :Barry bent over her, thorou hly roused. 0 ' "She has only fainted, Barry," aid Mr. Bartlett, handing him her fan. "Mr, Delapierre, won't you bring a lass of water?" When Claire opened her eyes B rry , was rubbing her hands, Mrs. Bar lett was bathing her forehead, and Mr. el- a,pierre was fanning her very a aid- 'uously. . . "What\is it, Baary ?" she asked f int: ly. Mrs. Bartlett smiled and smoo hed back her hair. , "You fainted Claire, and Barry - as horrified at yoUr white face. Do you faint often ?" Claire shook her head. "It is a very disagreeable sentiat on,' said Mr. Delapierre soothingly. "1 he theatre is oppressively warm to-ni ht ; no wander you were overcome." "Can't we get home ?" asked B rry. "Are yon alble to walk to the ar- riage ?" asked Mrs. Bartlett, in an an- xious tone. . "I think so," Claire said, rising ith an effort and taking Barry' a arm. He gathered her cloak around her and aid something about the night air in a on - strained voice. , "Make as light pi it as you c n," Mrs. Bartlett said to Mr. Delapie re, lingeaiitg in the box after the ot • ers had! gone slowly towards the at; irs. "Berry attributes all this to your p es- ence." "You read his thoughts, then 2" "Perfectly. Come, let us go. Wen shall I see you again ?" "Not for some time. Do you like a er better ?" ' She laughed bitterly. "You sh I uld. have heard Barry' last night. I don't believe in angels." They were discussing "Ristori w they reached tlie carriage. Claire leaning back i it, white and silent. ; "Yon mime- ,the climax of the de th. scene, Mrs. L rimer," said Mr. D la - 1 tiierre. ' "We all did,"Ilaughed Mrs. Bartl:tt. "Claire's face made me forget ris tori's." "Ah! well, Oa another occasion we mustendeavor to See it." Claire shivered. "I don't wish to see that play again." Mr. Delapierre laughed lightly a: he turned away: Barry told the coach an to "drive fast," then he sank in o a corner, and Claire could` not see his -face in the shadow.. .. Mrs. Bartlett tried to discuss he play, but Claire could not and B rry would net talk. He was contrast' ng Claire's brilliancy in the early par of the evening t with her present app &r- anee, and explaining it to suit hims:lf. After reaching home she uno ns sciously strengthened his suspicions by her explanation of the affair. She as- cribed;it to the play and. the effect ro- duced on her imagination by a styi of acting to which she was unaccustom d. She did not like tc? Bay even to her elf how muoli his manner had to do with it, and he was not in a humor for s lf- examination. He recalled Clai e's actions at the time of her uncle's de th, when her self-control surprised h m. He had; heard from Mrs. Penning on how she had cared for her father, lie ng ever to the emergency with fr sh strength and endurance. _ Certainly she had not been in he habit of fainting when over -excited. So his increasing doubts searched for fo d, and tormented him the more for be ug concealed. Mrs. Bartlett devoted the next slay to Claire's recovery. Mr. Bartlett i e- clared that they were over -taxing ( he girl's strength. But there were nu /I I " erous invitations to be accepted a d calls to be made, and Barry -as anxious to beginithe tiresome round. Meanwhile Claire was conscious to at something was 1 wrong, but Barry • id not speak. Shei felt . hurt, and co Id not tell why. 1- As Mr. Bartlett was able to go to us office, Mr. Delapi▪ erre's visits ceas d. Weeks passed, and Claire was surpri::d at his continued absence, and half s t s- pected that it was by design. T • e thought worried her, and at times sa e felt dissatisfied with Barry's chos n way of living. She saw little of hi , his days being devoted to business a d his evenings to the claims of socie How she looked and the impression s made seemed to concern him more th n her feelings. ' (To .be Continued.) ring." i • Claire looked at hers. Its value lent it a new interest. "Barry is a fine fellow, inclined to be censorious, and as obstinate as a mule when he makes up his mind to a tleing. Have you found that out yet ?" "Not yet." Then elle colored, re- membering the previous evening.. - "Well, you -vill !" He nodded at' her. "How long since . you met hint ?" "Nearly two years. It was ilt8t be- fore Uncle Archie died. Barry was his lawyer; he carne to the house dnring Uncle's illness. Uncle was en- gaged in an important suit. If he had gained it he would have had a great deal of money." "Then he lost it ?" a Claire bent her head. "It was de - cid d in his fever, but his opponents, ca ied it to a higher court." - "Why didn't his family go on with it? If they had right on their side it should have been eontinued." "His relatives were too poor to risk more money in it. Uncle spent so much unauccessfully that they were discour- aged:" "And that was the indirect cause of your meeting Barry. Did he ever see your father ?" "No, _father died before I was six- teen." ; I had a slight acquaintance with hi in business transactions. I re- rneneber hina distinctly. YOU don't re- settle him in the least." " o, I am like my mother -aunt says unusually so." "Mr. Delapierre mentioned a portrait of your mother. Where is it now ?" ealt came to -day. Would you like to see it ?" , Bartlett sat up, interested, and the picture having been brought in and the gas lit, he examined it for some tine without speaking. "1 wish you would please me by let- ting it be hung up in this room. Am I asking too much ?" Ile took her hand in his as he spoke. Claire hesitated. "Itis too beautiful to keep up stairs, 'and I think if it were here you would often bring your work or book to this room." "If it will give you any pleasure," Claire said at last, not feeling sure of Barry's' approval. However, when he came in he seemed pleased at Mr. Bertlett's satis- faction, and Claire's bright face drove away his suspicions. Dinner was a decided success. Mr, Bartlett forgot to be satirical, and showed himself the fascinatieig man of leisure, with broad views and cultivated tastes. Mrs. Bartlett's jealousy took a new phase, but Claire listened and enjoyed, unconscious of her own power. "I have not seen Mr. Bartlett so amiable for months," Barry said when they were getting ready for tbe theatre. dIdou, seem to draw out his best qual- ities. Our characters are so many- sided-sanauch depends on the persons we are with." "Has he a strong character ?" asked Claire. "es; and his capacity for loving and hating is immense. Was Amanda in the library with you ?" "I am afraid there is something wrong between her and Mr. Bartlett." CHAPTER V. PIA iI TOLOMEI. Ristori was to appear that night for the first time as Pia di Tolomei, and the theatre was crowded when the little party entered their box. Mrs. Bartlett and Barry recognized friends and had a great deal to say ab6ut them, a conversation in which Clare could take no part. When the play began Barry leaned lazily back to at- tend to it. Mrs. Bartlett looked indifferent, per - 'haps because she had seen Ristori in all her parts, andthe-novelty of her style had lost its charm. To Claire all was, new and interesting and at once fixed her attention. "You are quite excited," said Mrs. Bartlett, as the curtain fell and Claire raised her head with a quick gasp.
