moment after she told her news they
stared at her, too amazed to speak,
even Hannah, who had scented diff
culties. being completely unprepared
after the way of human nature-for
the particular difficulty that had
cropped up. 1t was Hazel who first
spoke.
Buy you off to leave Dominick?
Give you money to go away from him,
do you mean?"
That's what I said" returned her
sister with dry grimness. She's made
me two offers to leave my husband,
wants me to get out and, after I've
gone for a year, ask him to bring suit
for desertion."

hushed voice OF horror.
How much did she offer you?" said
Hazel.
The was a crucial question. Berry
knew its importance and sat up, push
ing back her disarranged hat
"One hundred thousand dollars" she
said calmly.
"a hundred thousand dollars!"
gasped Hazel. "Why-why-Berny!"
She stopped, almost trembling in
the excitement of her stunned incredu-

"Of course it's not. He's not that kind
Of a man. He's too much Of sissy.
Another woman! I'd ike to tell him
that"
When she reached home, she found
on the hall table a note which the
Chinaman told her had been left by
a messenger. II was from Bill Can
non and contained but a few lines.
These, of q businesslike brevity, ex-
pressed the writer's desire TO see her
again. and politely suggested that, il
she could come TO his Office on any
one of the three specified afternoons,
between the hours Of two and four,
he would be deeply honored and
obliged.
In his "Klondike Monologue" at the
Orpheum, Buford, the actor, made a
sudden and unexpected hit. The morn
ing after his first appearance, both
Dominick and Berry read in the paper
eulogistic notices OF the new star.
Dominick was particularly interested.
Re remembered Buford's state of wor-
~ while at Antelope and was glad to
see that the unlucky player was, in
the parlance Of his own world, max
ing good"
Now, from what he heard, Buford's
hard times should be at an end. Such
a hit as he had made should give him
| the required impetus. Men Dominick
knew, who had theatrical affiliations,
told him that Buford was made" The
actor could now command q good sal

in the country, and If he had il in

a Confession.

OF late Berry had not been sleeping
upon her looks had spurred her to the
unwonted exertion OF walking. The
route she had chosen was one of those
thoroughfares which radiate from Mar
ket Street, and though not yet slums,
are far removed from the calm, wide
gentility Of the city's more dignified
highways. With all her cIeverness,
and instincts of the class she had
come from.
Walking loiteringly forward, she
crossed Powell Street, and approached
the entrance of that home of vaude-
vile, the Granada Theater. There
had been a recent change of bill, and
as she drew near she looked over the
posters standing by the entrance On
which the program for the coming
week was printed in large letters. Mid
way down one of these, her eye was
caught by name AMI she paused and
stood reading the words:
JAMES DELAY BUFORD
The Witty, Brilliant and Incompatible
Monologist
In His Unrivaled Monologue
Entitled
KLONDIKE MEMORIES"
She remembered at once that this
was the actor Dominick had spoken OF
as having been showed in with them
at Antelope. Dominick had evidently
not expected he would come to San
Francisco. He had said the man had
been going to act in Sacramento.
AS she walked down the street she
saw that she was approaching the car
line which passed close to her old
home. A clock in a window showed
her it was nearly five. Hannah would
have been home for some time, and
Hazel might be expected within an
hour. Without more thought she
hailed an uptown car.
She found them both at home, Ha

INTERESTING LECTURE
BY Mrs. Morrill, Hamlin Before Good
Sized Class at Library Hall.

Mrs. Morrill, Hamlin gave her last
lecture before Christmas, Tuesday af-
ternoon at the Library hall, but the
lectures will be continued on the
Tuesday following Christmas. Her
topic was Socialism and Syndieal-
ISM" and proved interesting to a
good-sized class.
In speaking of Socialism in France,
she said that the Socialists were very
strong in that country, and that they
were fast taking place of the Royal
lists. She said that in England So
cialism was slowly gaining progress
and that the government recognizes
that the movement is growing
stronger every day. Some of the worst
slums in England have been taken
away by the Socialist movement. IT Is

class that have suffered oppression
for many years. The speaker stated
that Germany casts one-half of the
f5oeiallstic votes in the world. The
Socialists are so strong in Germany
that the working class is much bet
ter provided for by the state than in
any other country in the United
States.
She spoke of the large increase In
Socialistic votes in America, in 1912,
over that of 1908, saying that this
movement is steadily growing in
America,
In talking of Socialism in Germany,
she said that Syndicalism is well
worked in with it. She said that
France faces Il revolution on account
OF Syndicalism. Mrs. Hamlin said that
she thought that Syndicalism was a
lhindrance to good government, be-
cause its followers believed in Areyo-
