A Bernhardt Trick,

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
we'll as an actress, was recently call
ed upon in one of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role Of sculptor,
and to model certain bust in view Of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
of, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

CHAPTER X.
The Traders Bank,

The morning after Halsey's return
was Tuesday. Arnold Armstrong had
been found dead at the foot of the cir
cular staircase at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. The funeral services
were to be held on Tuesday, and the
interment OF. the body was to be de-
ferred until the Armstrong; arrived
from California. No one, think, was
very sorry that Arnold Armstrong was
dead, but the manner of his death
aroused some sympathy and an enor-
nous amount of curiosity. Mrs. Ogden
Fitzhugh, cousin, took charge of the
arrangements, and everything, be-
lieve, was as quiet as possible. l gave
Thomas johnson and Mrs. Watson
permission to go into town to pay
their last respects to the dead man,
but for some reason they did not care
to go. A.
Halsey spent part of the day with
Mr.. Jameson, but he said nothing Of
what happened. He looked grave and
anxious, and he had long converse
ton with Gertrude late in the after
noon.
Tuesday evening found us quiet,
with the quiet that, precedes an ex-
plosion. Gertrude and Halsey were
both gloomy and distraught, and as
