Mr.. Chester was eminently fitted. this
being special feature writing. He was
accordingly placed in charge OF the
Sunday magazine section. Here he
had wide latitude, and in securing
data for special articles often re-

the ball had been the most daring the
young woman had yet made. Neither
she nor Dominick had thought 1t pos
sible that Mrs. Ryan would leave her
out So confident was she that she
would be asked that she had ordered
a dress for the occasion. But when
Dominick's invitation came without
her name on the envelope. then fear
that she was to be excluded rose
clamorous in her. For days she
talked and complained to her hus-
band as to the injustice Of this
course and his power to secure the
invitation for her II he would. By
the evening Of the ball she had
brought him to the point where he
had agreed to go forth and demand IT..
II was a hateful mission. He had
never in his life done anything SO hui
initiating In his shame and distress
he had hoped that his mother would
give It TO him without urging, and
Bernice, placated, would be restored
to good humor and leave him at
peace. She could not have gained
such power over him, or so bent him
to her bidding, had she not had in
him a fulcrum of guilty obligation to
work on. She continually reminded
him OF 'the wrong" he had done her,
and how, through him. she had lost
the respect of her fellows and her
place among them. All these sights,

he felt that this was true. Tonight
he had gone forth In logged despera-
ton. Now in fear. frank fear of her,
he went home. slowly. with reluctant
feet. his heart getting heavier, his
dread colder as he neared the house.
It was one Of those wooden struc-
lures on Sacramento Street not far
from Van Ness Avenue where the
well-to-do and socially-aspiring crowd
themselves into floor Of seven
rooms. and derive satisfaction from
the proximity Of their distinguished
neighbors who refuse to know them.
1t contained four fats. each with a
parlor bay-window and a front door,
all four doors in neighborly juxtaposi-
ton at the top Of a flight to six
marble steps.
Dominick's was the top fiat; he had
to ascend a long, carpeted stairway
with a turn halfway up TO get to it.
Now. looking at the bay-window, he
saw lights cleaning from below the
drawn blinds. Berry was still up. A
lingering hope that she might have
gone to bed died, and his sense of re-
luctance gained in force and made
him feel slightly sick. He was there,
however. and he had to go up. Fit
ting his key into the lock he opened
the hall door.
1t was very quiet as he mounted
the long stairs. but. as he drew near
the top. he became aware of a windy.
whistling noise and looking into the
room near the stair-head saw that all
the gas-jets were lit and turned on
full cock. and that the gas, rushing
out from the burner In a ragged ban
ner Of flame, made the sound. He
was about to enter and lower 1t when
he heard his wife's voice coming from
the open door Of her room.
1T that you. Dominick?" she called.
Her voice was steady and high.
Though 1t was hard, with a sort OF
precise clearness OF utterance. 1t was
not conspicuOusly wrathful
