But this did not seem to be the
case, for when she reached the square
she took her stand on the corner

stop. The man drew back into door

passengers who boarded the car at

outside. He had il to himself here,

cold, he. turned up his overcoat collar
and drew his soft felt hat down over
his ears. BY turning his head he
could see between the bars that cross
the end windows, the interior OF the
car shining with light, its polished
yellow woodwork throwing back the
white glare of the electricity. There
were only three passengers, two de-
pressed-looking women in dingy black,
and Berry on a line with himself in
the corner by the door. He could see
her even better here than in the res
taurant. She sat, small, dark figure,
pressed into the angle Of the seat,
her hands clasped in her lap. her eyes

was angry at what he was doing"
1t was a subtly feminine way of get
ting round the delicate points Of the
situation-that inconsistency feminine
way which separates judgment Of the
individual from judgment of his acts.
But it relieved the Bonanza King of
the heaviest weight that had lain upon
him for many years, and, for once, he
gave thanks for the irrationalness Of
women.

When she left him, he lit another
cigar, sank lower in his chair and
stared at the fire.
1t was a deadlock In his helpless
ness, the enraged helplessness of the
man who had ridden triumphantly
over all obstacles that fate had set in
his path. his prevailing thought was
how much he would like to kill Berry.
She had done all this. This viper Of
a woman, the kind to tread on if she
raised her head, had baffled and beat
en- them all. He could not murder
her, but he thought with grim lips of
how he could crush and grind her
down and let her feel how heavy Bill
Cannon's hand could be.
It seemed for the moment as If
everything were over. They had
reached place where a blank wall
stretched across the road. Berny's re-
fusing the money had been a serious
obstacle, but not an uncomfortable
one. Rose tonight had given the whole
plot its death blow. With lowering
brows he pulled at his cigar, cropping
in his mind for some way that might
yet be tried. He could not brook the
thought of defeat. And yet the more
he meditated the more impregnable
and unscalable appeared the wall that
stretched across the way.

unfastened HIS coat. To the servant
who came for his order, he asked Tor
cup of black coffee and a liqueur
evening paper. With the sheet open
before him he sat slipping the coffee,
the slightest noise from the inner
room causing him TO start and lft
the paper before his face.
He sat thus for some fifteen min
utes. The Spanish women and the
child emerged from the archway and
left the restaurant, and few moments
later he heard the scraping of chair
legs and Berny's voice as she asked
for her bill. He lifted the paper and
appeared buried in it's contents, not
moving as Berry brushed back the
lace curtain and passed him. Her
eyes absently fell on him and she had
a vague impression of the dark dome
of a head emerging from above the
opened sheets OF the journal. AS she

who came forward.
The surprised servant, unaccus-
toned to such tips, stared astonished
after him as he hurried down the pas
sage between the tables, quickly
opened the door and disappeared into
the darkness of the street.
Berry was only a few rods away,
moving forward with a slow, lettering
step. 1t was an easy night to follow
without being observed. Walking at
a prudent distance behind her, he kept
her in sight as she passed from the
smaller streets of the Latin Quarter
into the glare and discord Of the more
populous highways, along Kearney
Street, past the lower boundary OF
Portsmouth Square. He noticed that
she walked without haste, now and

Womanliness.

Perhaps it would not be so easy to
lose "womanliness" as some people
seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the pow-wow about becoming desexed
is superfuous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomically men and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as a person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How
ever masculine her appearance,
woman's psychic qualities remain dis
tinctively feminine. At least, Mr..
Weininger says so.

Friend or Foe.

For some time after Rose had left
her, Berry remained on the bench, not
moving, her glance resting on that
part of the path whence the young
girls figure had faded from view.
The night slowly deepened, impreg-
mating the gray atmosphere with a vel
vety depth OF shadow that oozed
through Il like an infusion of a darker,
denser element. Lights came out.

of windows appeared in long, magni-

there was a suggestion Of effaced
brightness, as Of painting which
had once been sharply outlined and
brilliant, but was now rubbed into a

long fight of stairs carpeted in green.
Berry entered and for a moment, be-
fore the door closed, he saw her
mounting the stairs. She had not
asked for any one, or indeed made a
sound Of greeting or inquiry. She
was therefore either expected CT an
habitue OF the place. When the door
was shut he, too, mounted the porch

transom. He whispered it over sew

thin, aquiline face with a sweep OF
dark hair dropping downward toward
his collar.
Satisfied with his investigation, he
left the porch and walked rapidly
down the street to the corner. Here
there was a lamp, and hating under
its light he drew from his pocket a
leather wallet and took therefrom
Dominick Ryan's card with an address
written on it. The penciled numbers
were the same as those on the door
he had just left, and he stood looking
fixedly at the card, an expression OF
excitement and exultation growing on
his face.

Be Happy Today,

day, if God sends them; and the evils
Of it bear patiently and sweetly; for
this day only is ours. We are dead to

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actors Story.


The afternoon Of the next day Dom
mick came home earlier than usual.
His New York friend, who was en-
route to Japan. had but a couple Of
days in San Francisco, and again
claimed his company for dinner. The
theater was to follow and Dominick
had come home TO change his clothes,
and incidentally either to see Berry
and explain his absence or TO leave a
message for her with the Chinaman.
He felt rather guilty where she was
concerned. He had seen nothing Of
her for two days The only time they
met was in the evening after business
hours, the only meal they took to-
gether was dinner. With every spark
Of affection dead between them, their
married life the hollowest sham, she
had so long and so sternly trained

her on his mind, that he still in.
stinctively followed the acquired habit
OF thinking of her comfort and ar
ranging for It. He knew she would
be annoyed at the two lonely dinners.
and hoped to see her before he left
and suggest to her that she telephone
for one of her sisters to join her.
The fiat was very quiet when he en-
tered, and after looking into one or
two rooms for her he called the Chi
naman. who said Mrs. Ryan had gone
out early in the afternoon. leaving
no message except that she would be
home to dinner. Dominick nodded a
dismissal and walked into the den.
He carried the evening papers in his
hand, and looking at the clock he saw
that he had an hour before it would
be necessary for him to dress and
leave the house. Berry would I'M
doubtedly be home before then; she
was rarely out after six. Meantime,
the thought that she was not in and
that he could read the papers in I'M
molested, uninterrupted silence
caused slight sense of relief to
tighten The weight that was now al
ways with him.
He had hardly opened the first sheet
when a ring at the bell dispelled his
hopes. II was one of his wife's hab-
its never to carry latch-key, which
she looked upon as symbol OF that
bourgeois, middle-class helpfulness
that she had shaken off with her other
working-girl manners and customs
Dominick dropped the paper, waiting
for her entrance, and framing the
words with which he would acquaint
her with the fact that he was to be
absent again. Instead, however, OF
the rustic of feminine skirts, he heard
the Chinaman's padding steps, and the
servant entered and presented him
with card. Traced on 1t In a sprawl
ing handwriting was the name James

his invitation to the man to call, and
realized that this probably was the
only time that the actor could conven-
iently do so. There was an hour yet
before dinner would be served. and
turning to the servant Dominick told
him to show the gentleman up

City Grass Is Different.

A remarkably interesting fact was
brought to light by Lord Redesdale be-
fore the advisory committee of the
King Edward memorial fund for Lon
don, which was discussing the lay
ing out of Shadwell market site as a
pleasure garden. 1t was curious, he
said, that grass brought from the
country withered away in London, on
the other hand, grass from London
grown seeds flourished. That is a
striking example of what scientists
call adaptation to environment-Lon-

Mot So poIlte as II looked.

Crowds were on the street car when
when the tall woman struggled up
the aisle and grasped strap. Twelve
men were seated on each side, but
not one arose and offered her his
seat. At last a small boy touched
her on the arm.
"You can have my seat, lady,"
called the youngster.
Thank you," said the tall woman,
seating herself in the vacant space;
that was very polite of you"
