SARAH ALTHEA TERRY.
She Is Going to Fresno to Arrange
Her Affairs,
And viii at Once Return to This City,
Walk and Talk With the Famous Liti-
gant-The Bell Mansion.

The finding Of Sarah Althea Terry by
CALL reporter on Monday, while the glmlet-
hole artists and transOm-wOrkers of an
alleged live contemporary were hunting
blind trails, caused no little sensation IL
town yesterday morning.
There was a pretty general expression OF
opinion that Mrs. Terry could not remain
long in town without signalling herself in
some way or other. Probably it is for this
reason that her friends are glad to hear she
is going to Fresno at once 20 arrange her
affairs.
1t is however. a grave source OF perpleX-
ity TO the aforesaid friends that Mrs. Terry
declares her intention of returning immedi-
ately. She knows a number of people in
this city who. in the ordinary run OF things,
would rank for something more tnan mere
acquaintances. But not one of them is
booming with enthusiasm to receive the
lady when she returns from Fresno for
good.
Even Mammie Pleasance admitted to a

is not an easy person TO manage just now.

BY and by, after the conversation had

iUger in a warning way, showed the Vlsl-

OUT FOR A WALK.
"Wait on the corner OF the street." she
said, but don't let her pointing over her
shoulder see you a the gate" The reporter
passed out and waited. Ten minutes later
Mrs. Pleasance appeared IN company with
Mrs Terry and an unknown mlddle-aged
lady. The "mammie" had exchanged the
shawl and cotton turban which she wore
withindoors for a go-tO-meeting costume
Mrs. Terry was very plainly and unOsten-
tatiOusly alfred She came along with
quick, nervous step Tut there was nothing
In her manner TO attract the attention OF
casual observer
BY arrangement the reporter was intro
duced TO Mrs Terry as somewhIIe tenant
Of the house on Laurel place, RincOn Hill,
whore Sarah went to housekeeping in the
early DAYS OF the Sharon suit. 1t is an ideal
home, with ivy vines, creepers. humming
birds and cosy old-fashoned inches and al
caves. Mrs. Terry promptly responded to
the demands on her recollection, and spoke
quite easily and c0nnectedly. She followed
the train of the reporters thought from one
room to another, noticing the minutest
changes.
RUNNING BIRDS.
"But don't talk about the hummng
BIRDS" said she. I'VE had too many of
them there. didn't we. Mammie2"
what do you p asked the reporter,
wondering how these tiny creatures could
have evoked hostility
''She means detectives" said Mammie,
dryly; they were after her all the time she
was there. Yes, they were humming birds,
you bet"
Mrs. Terry was on her way to the resi-
deDCe Of the Culbreths on McAiisteT street
and seemed to be getting along quite nicely
when an expression Of pain suddenly came
over her worn features. "COme In here,
Mamie" she said, motioning the reporter
to make way, 81 feel the Influence"
Whatever the Influence was, a cOmely APP
pearing woman was instantly transformed
into q hard-featured person, whose face
was not pleasant to look on The smile
gave place to a cruel sheer, then the eye be-
came wild. 1t was evident that some dark
aud bitter thought was passing through the
wOman's mind.
Mammie Pleasance strove TO straighten
things out, but it would not do. Fearing
lest Mrs. Terry should become excited an
make scene, the reporter switched off the
conversation to generaltieS and presently
took his leave.
MAAl1iIE's INFLUENCE.
Mammie Pleasance was amused and fiat
tered by the newspaper statement that she
