LORIMER AND WIFE.
A CONTINUED STORY.
CRATER Ve-CONITNUED. !
This wa not what Claire had itic-
tureci to h rself in the early days of
love and c urtship. The. Vision of a
llttIe hozoe where she could study
Barreds co fort and become all in all
to hiM ha ' vanished. In its place rose
"aooiety,' vith what Barry called its
usageshey did not satisfy her
Martied,s e found herself the object ot
atteution from every one but her hus-
band. So iety kept them apart and
left her m prepared for its demands
and Barry s quick aeproofs.', "You are
so impala ve," he ;would say, yet six
montha be ore he had told her that he
loved her or being so. Thus Barry
watched s adows and looseted his hold
on the sub tance. And Claire began to
hate the artificial existence that
crushed th yearnings of her better na-
ture and b ought to light all her de-
ficiencies.

a!TRIELES LIGHT AS AIR."
Claire spent some miserable hours
after seeing Mr. Delapierre, but, re-
membeting what her aunt had said, she
determiued to lose no time in consult-
ing Mr. Dapre. The • next afternoon
Mrs. Pennington went with her to his
office, which was in a tall building on
Park Row. Such a building was a
novelty to them, with its dark halls,
flights of steps, and numberless yellow
doors, &eked and looking as if never
opened. Claire wondered how men
could pass their days in such a place.
After a long search they found the
room, and Claire knocked timidly on
the dusty panel. A thin boy opened
the door and stood staring at the novel
sight of a pretty girl in purple silk and
ermine. Mr. Dupre was sitting at his
'desk writing rapidly -a entail man,
with short, thick, white ,hair, faded
blue eyes, and delicate, well . cut fea-
tures -ea poor man,. whose appearance
showed that his battle with the world
had been a hard. one. He looked
pleased and surprised, and, having sent
the boy to post the lettere, he turned to
?Claire.
"Mr. Dupre, how much did father
owe Mr. Delapierre ?" _
"Probably five thousand dollars ; but
he took the pictares, you remember."
"Yes, I know that; but I thought
they were not worth as much as we
owed him. Don't you recollect that he
was dissatisfied ?"
"Yes, he spoke very unkindly; but,
Claire, he has made instead of losing
by your father. Let me explain. When,
your father di, and for some time be-
fore, business was dull, the country was
on the eve of a crisis, things were sell-
ing for- half their value, and it was
simply impossible to sell good pictures
at reasonable rates. Had the pictures
been sold then, they would not have
covered Delapierre's claim, but he was
able to hold them. Lately he has dis-
posed of them, and to my certaiu know-
ledge he has made money by them. If
could have paid. him and kept them -
for your benefit I would', have done so
willingly. But he wanted cash, and I
hadn't it to give him. If there is money
owing it is due to you."
"Yet only last night he told me that
the balance due him was fifteen hun-
dred dollars."
"Claire, he is a bad man, and wants
,to trick you out of your money. If he
speaks of this -again tell him what I say.
Send him to me."
"He has father's written acknow-
ledgments. Can he be made to give
them up ?" •
,
"I should think so. Ask him for
them; if he refuses to give them to you
let me knew." ,
"I have iive hnndred dollars," said
Claire eagerly. 'Are there other bills,
little ones, that May have been over-
looked ? Try an4 :think, Mr. Dupre.
0 aunt! if I could believe that we were
really out of debt."
Mr. Dupre looked embarrassed, but
Claire was too excited to notice it.
"Claire, its well as I can remember,
I settled -all the small'accounts shortly
after your father's death. If I think of
any that were not paid I will let you
know. And now, ray child, your -heart
is at rest."
"Yes, after all these years."
"Come, Claire, you have cried enough
over these troubles. You ha„ve not
asked for Mrs. Dupre."
While Mr. Dupre was speaking of his
wife's delicate health Claire saw how
shabby his clothes -were and how thin
for the season. Oh! for the power to
help this good man, who had helped
her father in every possible way.
"Bitterly she reproached herself for
her neglect of her old friends. But
Barry had ignored them, and she was
too much hurt to urge their claims.
After Mr. Dupre had said good-bye,
and the yellow door was shut, she
stood a moment in the dirty, empty
hall, picturing him at his desk, working
still to ward off poverty.
"Claire," said Mrs, Pennington, "do
you think he lent money to your father
that was never returned? He seemed
Bo embarrassed when you spoke, and, if

It is Constructed on Scientific Principles
The Dasher is Strong, Durable and :Light.*In
Churning the Cream is forced by the Centre
Cone to the sides of the Dasher, thence through
the various holes. The caps break the streams,
causing upward jets through the holes to be im-
pinged on by side jets terming from the:tubes,

tion of butter.
By the peculiar their° of the Dasher,. the

trated Ip a solid =FIFO as feet as they are term-
ed, and the surface of the dasher being e smooth
and metallic, without recesses where anything
ra ight lodge, the daeher is easily cleanedby
pouring waim v ater on it. The tapering -shape
of the caps prevents their clogging up.
