moment later the moving eyes lighted
indifferently, bruskly, as though
checked by the imperative stoppage Of
regulating machinery.
Only person watching closely
would have noticed 1t, but Berry was
watching with the most vigilant close
ness. She saw the infusion of a new
and keener interest transform the
glance, concentrate its lazy, diffused
attention into something that had the
sharpness and suddenness of a leap
ing flame The next moment a food
of color rose clearly pink over the
face, and then, most surprising of all,
the lady bent her head in grave, de
liberate bow.
| Berry turned, startled-and in a
vague, underlined way, disturbed, too
to see who had been the object Of this
salutation. To her astonishment 1t
was Dominick. AS she looked at him,
he replaced his hat and she saw-to
the augmentation of that vague sense
of disturbance-thath he was as pale as
the bowling woman was pink.
"Dominick." she exclaimed, who's

Miss Cannon" he said in low
tone.

"Yes. / met her at Antelope"

Paris, I'll bet you a dollar"
"Yes, saw It," said Berny in a
voice that did not sound particularly
exhilarated; maybe it is"
She looked back at Miss Cannon
who had turned away and was NOV

his she could feel that he trembled.
She said nothing but settled back
in her chair. dryly swallowing. In
those few past moments her whole
world had undergone revolution that
left her feeling dazed and little sick.
1t was as II the earth had suddenly
whiried around and she had come up

things reversed and upset. In an In

saw every. hing-the look in the wom-

she knew what the change was, the in
explicable, mysterious change that
had so puzzled her.

bewilderment a pain, fierce, unfa.

not for the moment say anything or
want to speak, and she felt as a child
does who Is dazed and stupefed by an
unexpected assault of i'll treatment
The slight sensation of inward sink

continued and she sat in chilled and
dropping silence, all her bridling con

stricken suddenly out of her.
She heard Hazel asking Dominich
questions about Miss Cannon. and she
heard Dominick's answers. brief and
given with reticent doggedness
Then Hazel asked him for the time
and she was conscious of his elbow
pressing against her arm as he fell
for his watch. AS he drew 1t out and
held It toward the questioner. Berny
