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.

Thus Barry watched s adows and looseted his hold on the sub tance.

' Ita,thist answering my question, Mr. Dupre, when I ask you as a favor, the greatest you can do me, to tell me thits,?" eI would rather not speak of it; I Helier missed it." "But I have money' that I do not want, for Barry gives me more than I ca epend. Tlaiuk, you will make rue eo appy."

Claire went home intensely happy. She Sang as she dressed for dinner, and seeing the parlor lighted as she -went downetairs she ventured to open Mrs. Bartlett's piano.

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 de- ' REAL ESTATE FOR SALE. pROPERTv FOB, SALE -For Sale, on easy -a- terms, that desirable residence on James Street/ ownedelY Mr. George Dent.

"I saw Mr. Du- pre thie afternoon, Mr: Delapierre. It was unlkind to deceive me as you did, and then tell me you were my friend. Heaveri save me from such friends 1" "This is a mistake.
