CHAPTER XVI.
Roses Point of View.

Roses Point of View.
The following Sunday, at ten o'clock
in the morning, Dominick noiselessly
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 a
view. He would take his lunch at any
little 5oint-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 it's inmates. garbed in the
light Sunday attire of the Californian
on pleasure bent.
Dominick went up the hill in the
clear. golden sunlight, and in his re-
volt he pushed Berny from his mind.
and let Rose come in her place. His
thoughts, always held from her, sprang
at her, encircled her. seemed to draw
her toward him as once his arms had
done.
Standing on the summit OF the hill,
where the wall of the quarry drops
down to the water front and the
wharves. he relinquished himself to
his dream Of her.
As If called, he turned sharply and
saw Rose standing few yards away
from him, looking at him with an ex-
preston of affrighted indecision.
II wasn't sure it was you," she said
And then when l saw 1t was, l was

Nothing in particular. 1t was such

without thinking. My feet brough,

"Sit down and talk to me-" he said
quietly. No one can hear you. It's

There was broken boulder behind
them, close to the narrow foot-way
and she sat on 1t. motioning him to Q
fat piece Of rock beside her.

You and l have never talked much
about your affairs. And what con
Germs you concerns me-"

CHAPTER XVII.
Out of the FuIlness of the Heart.

Out Of the FuIlness Of the Heart.
That night It was Berny's turn to
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 1t
marked the hours. When the first
thin streak of gray painted pale line
between the window curtains she rose
and took n sleeping powder and soon
after fell into n heavy slumber.
This held her in the dead. motion.
less unconsciousness that drug
brings, through the long morning
hours Dominick's noiseless departure
hardly disturbed the hushed quiet OF
the little fiat. The Chinaman. trained
by his exacting mistress to make no
sound while she slept, went about his
work with a stealthy step and cautious
touch, even in the kitchen, shut on by
space and mufIiing doors, continuing
his care. He had had more than one
experience with the wrath of Mrs.
Ryan when she had been reused from
late slumbers by a banged door or a
dropped pan.
1t was nearly lunch-time when she
awoke, slowly emerging from the
black, unbroken deadness OF her sleep
to a momentaTily augmenting sense or
depression. She rose, her body se<m-
ing to participate in the oppressed
discomfort of her mind. and. going to
the bedroom window, drew the curtain
and looked out.
The day promised little in the way
of cheering Influences. Fog hung
heavy in the air, gray veil depend-
ing from a gray haze OF sky. That
portion of her neighbor's garden which
the window commanded was drenched
with IT, the flowers dropping MOSTLY
as If 1t weighed on them like heavy
substance under the pressure OF which
they bent and dripped. The stretch
of wall that she could see cleaned
with dampness. A corner of stone. on
which n drop regularly formed. hung
and then fell, held her eyes for few
notwithstanding moments. Then she
turned away. muttering to herself;
Good Lord, what day."
She was at her lunch when the tele-
phone bell rang. She dropped her
napkin and ran to the instrument
which was in the hall. She did not
know what she expected-or rather
she did not expect anything in par
ticular-but she was in that state OF
feverish tension when she seemed the
focus of portentous happenings. the
point upon which events of sinister
menace might, at any moment. bear
down. Bill Cannon might be calling
her up. for what purpose she could not
guess. only for something that would
be disagreeable and perturbing.

bothering the life out of her when
she's got troubles of her own?"
Troubles of her own? What
troubles has she got?"
She's got cold," said Cannon.
He spoke sharply and looked at
Gene with sidelong eye full of OBJ
servant malice. The young man gazed
back at him. confused. for a moment
half inclined to laugh. thinking his fa-

to talk further, to thresh it out some
more. I've seen Mrs. Ryan since our

herself to the edge of the chair. She
can keep her two hundred thousand

condolences. "I1l give you another

Does she want to leave you?"
The question seemed to touch a
nerve that startled and then stiffened
him. He answered it with his head
turned toward her. the eyebrows lift
ed, a combative note In his voice:

not" He stopped and then said, with
his face flushing. mo, don't think

He turned and looked at her.

separated from the woman love?
What is there in that to keep a mans
heart alive?"
"The knowledge that we love each
other. That's good deal. think"
1t was the first time she had said
in words that she loved him. There
was no trace of embarrassment or
consciousness on her face; instead she
seemed singularly calm and steadfast.
much less moved than he. Her words
shook him to the soul. He turned his
eyes from her face and grasping for
her hand. clasped It, and pressed 1t
to his heart, and to his lips. then
loosed 1t and rose to his feet. saying
to himself:
Eyes. that's good deal"
Her eyes followed him, and then
brought up on the schooner bearing
away on its long tack, strained and ca
reening in the breeze that. down there
in the open, blew fresh and strong
from the great Pacific.
"It's q schooner" she said absently.
Where do you suppose it's going?"
'I don't know. Somewhere long
way off. hope. My devils are sailing
away on it."
They stood side by side. gazing
down at It till she moved away with
sudden "Good-by."
"Good-by." he answered. and
stretched out his hand.
Berry had been turning over in her
mind the advantages of accepting the
money-had been letting herself dwell
upon the delights of possible posses
sion-when at the Sunday dinner that
afternoon Josh McCrae threw her
back into the state OF incensed rejec
ton with which she had met the first
| offer. With his face wreathed in JOY
Gus grins, he had apprised her OF the
fact that only an hour earlier. while
walking on Telegraph Hill, he hac
seen Dominick there talking with MISS
Cannon.
She was quiet for the rest OF the
afternoon, but 1t was not till she hao
reached her own home, silent In III
untenanted desertion, that she had
an opportunity to turn the full vigol
Of her mind on what she had heard.
She put from her mind all intention
of ever taking the money. She want
ed it desperately. terribly.
She knew that the interview fol
which Bill Cannon had asked was fol
a last, deciding conversation. He wal
to make his final offer. 1t was mo
ment of torture to her when she won
dered what it would be. and her mint
hovered in distracted temptation owe
the certain two hundred thousand dol
lars and the possible quarter of
million.
She was in this state of feverish dis
tractedness when she went to Bill
Cannons office.
Nothing could be more disarmingl
friendly than the old mans greeting
