experience with the wrath of Mrs.
Ryan when she had been reused from

The day promised little in the way

turned away, muttering to herself:

She was at her lunch when the tele

which was in the hall. She did moi

she did not expect anything in par

who came forward TO help him on
with his coat, knew II the moment he
saw the heavy. scowling face. The
piece of intelligence the man had to
convey-that Mr.. Gene Cannon had ar
rived half an hour earlier from San
Luis Obispo-was not calculated to
abate the Bonanza Kings irritation.
Gene, however, was not at all
abashed by any lack Of cordially. At
the best of times, he was not a SEN
sitive person, and as this had been
his portion since his early manhood,
he was now used to 1t. Moreover. to-
night he was in high spirits. In his

opened at his approach.

CHAPTER XVI.
Roses Point of View.

The following Sunday, at ten O'CLOCK
in the morning, Dominick LOiselessly
descended the stairs Of the fiat and
let himself out into the street. He
would spend the morning walking
anywhere where there was quiet and
view. He would take his lunch at any
little joint-country hotel. city chop
house-he happened to pass. and IN
the afternoon he would walk again.
He assembled the hill by one OF the
streets on its southern slope, violently
steep, the upward leaps Of Its side
walk here and there bridged by flights
Of steps. Every little house was dis
gorging Its inmates, CARRIED In the
light Sunday attire Of the Californian

Dominick went up the hill in the
clear, golden sunlight, and In his re
volt he pushed Berry from his mind
and let Rose come in her place. Hii
thoughts, always held from her, sprans
at her, encircled her, seemed to draw
her toward him as once his arms haC
done.
Standing on the summit Of the hill
where the wall of the quarry dropi
| down to the water front and thu
wharves, he relinquished himself t
his dream Of her.
AS II called, he turned sharply ant
saw Rose standing few yards ava.
from him, looking at him with an ez
preston Of affrighted indecision.

orins for a responsible emitted one
of those inarticulate sounds with
which II was his custom to greet In
formation that he did not like or the
exact purport Of which he did not
fathom.
The only thing which would have
sweetened his mood would have been
a conversation, peaceful and uninter-
rupted. with his daughter. He had
not seen as much Of her as usual dur
ing the last few days. as she had been
confined to her room with cold. This
WAS the first evening she had been at
dinner for four days. and the old man
had looked forward to one OF their
slow. enjoyable meals together, with
a long. comfortable chat over the
black coffee, as was their wont.
When dinner was over, and she rose
from her seat, he asked her to play
on the piano in the sitting-room near
by.
Neither Of the men spoke for a
snace while the music crept In softly
from the sitting room. The old man
gazed for while maliciously at his
son.

When she reached home, she found

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.
He remembered Buford's state Of wor-
ry while at Antelope and was glad to
see that the unlucky player was, In

be wakeful In the silence of the sleep
ing house and the warm darkness OF
her Curtained room, she lay tossing
on her bed, hearing the clear, musical
striking OF the parlor clock as It
marked the hours. When the first
thin streak OF gray painted a. pale line
between the window curtains she rose
and took a sleeping powder and soon
after fell into heavy slumber.
This held her in the dead, motion

STRENGTH of Bono.

The wonderful power of bone
structure has been tested scien-
tifcally to show how hollow bone
bears strain. A very small bone
only one square millimeter (.0155
square inch) in diameter, will hold
thirty-three pounds in suspension
without breaking, while piece OF
the best oak of the same thickness
will hold up only twenty-five
pounds. The bone is therefore half
again as strong as the solid oak
Nature is economical in the weight
given to bones, making them hollow
and at the same time making them
stronger than if they were solid and
much heavier. This principle has
been recognized in mechanics, as
engineers use hollow steel tubes in
stead of solid to meet great strain
