and, all these things considered,
thought 1t was pretty mean-to the
three hundred thousand dollars they
tried me with yesterday. Mrs. Ryan
was supposed to have made the first
offer, but your father did the Offering.
This last time he had to come out
and show me his hand and admit that
one-third OF the money was from him +"
She turned and looked at Rose with
cool. imperturbable impudence. Its
good TO have rich parents. isn't it?"
Rose stared back without answer
ing. She had become very pale.
That" said Berny, giving her head
judicial nod, and. delivering her
words with a sort of impersonal
suavsness, rs the way 1t was man
aged; you were kept carefully out.

difficulty. While all you people were

to sell. II takes two to make bar

Rose, pale now to her lips. said IN
a low voice:

with an air Of debonair large minded
ness. I've been telling you whnt you
say is lies and now you tell me what
| say Is lies. It's not, and you know
It's not. How would have found out
about all this? Do you think Domi-
nick told me? Men don't tell their
wives when they want to get rid OF
them. They're stupid, but they're not
that stupid"
Rose gave n low exclamation and
turned her head away. Berry way
waiting for a second denial OF her
statements, when the young girl ro8e
to her feet, saying in Mortified mur-
mur:
How awful! How perfectly awful"
"Of course" Berny continued, ad-
dressing her back, II was to under
stand you didn't know anything about
1t. I had my own opinions on that.
Fathers don't so round buying hus-
bands for their daughters unless they
know their daughters are dead set
on having the husbands. Bill Can
non was not trying to get Dominick
away from me just because he wanted
to be philanthropic. Neither was Mrs.
Ryan. You're the kind OF wife she
wanted for her boy, just as Domi-
nick's the husband your father'd like
for you So you stood back and let
the old people do the dirty work.
You"
Rose turned quickly, sat down on
the edge Of the bench, and leaned
| toward the speaker. Her face was
full Of quivering intensity of con-
.ern.
You poor, unfortunate womar" she
said in q shaken voice. and laid her
hand on Berny's knee.
Berry was so astonished that for a
moment she had no words, but stared
uncomprehending, still alertfy sus-
picious.
You poor soul!" Rose went on. "If
I'd known or guessed for moment I'd
have spoken differently. I can't say
anything. didn't know. couldn't
have guessed. It's the most horrible
thing ever heard Of. It's-tco-too-"
She stopped, biting her Lip. Berry
saw that she was unable to command
her voice, though she had no appear
ance of tears. Her face looked quite
different from what 1t had at the be-
| ginning of the interview. All IT'S ami

grew on the tree II you think I'll swaI-
low fairy tale like that. II you met
once on Telegraph Hill, and once in
the moonlight, what's to prevent your
meeting at other times. and other
places? You haven't mentioned the
visits UP at your house and the dinner
tonight"
Rose drew back, frowning uncom-
prehendingly.
What dinner tonight" she said.
"The one you're going to take with
my husband"
the young girl was lifted from the
sense of dishonesty that crushed her
by rising flood of angry pride.
Il take dinner with my father to-
night in our house on California
Street." she said coldly.
"Bosh!" said Berny, giving her head
a furious jerk. You needn't bother
wasting time on lies like that to me.
I'm not complete fool"
MRS. Ryan," said Rose, II think
we'd better end this talk. We can't
have any rational conversation when
you keep telling me what I say is a
lie. l am sorry you feel so badly, and
l wish ! could say something to you
that you'd believe. All l can do to
ease your mind Is to assure you that
l never. except on those two occa-
sions, have seen your husband since
his return from the country and GER
tainly never intend to see him again"
She rose from the bench and, as she
did so, Berry cried:
Then how do you account for the
money that was offered me yester-
day?"
Money!" said the young girl. paus.
ing as she stood. What money!"
THE three hundred thousand dol
lars that your father offered me yes
terday afternoon to leave my husband
and let him get divorce from me"
Rose sat down on the bench and
turned a startled face on the speaker
Tell me that again." she said "I
don't quite understand It,"
| Berry gave little, dry laugh.
"Oh, as many times as you like"
she said with her most ironical air of
politeness, only / should think II
would be rather stale news to you by
this time. Yesterday afternoon your
father made me his third offer to de.

we're not lovers dined duly by them
selves. She could not imagine Rose
and Dominick otherwise than alone,
exchanging tender glances over the
newest form of champagne glasses
filed with the choicest brand of cham
pagne.
A sound escaped her, sound OF
pain, as If forced from her by the
grinding of jealous passions within.
She dropped the curtain and rose to
her feet. If they married 1t would
be always that way with them. They
would have everything in the world,
everything that to Berny made life
worth while. Even Paris. with her
three hundred thousand dollars to
open all Its doors, would be savor-
less place to her If Rose and Dominick
were to be left to the enjoyment OF
all the pleasures and luxuries of life
back in California.
Unable to rest, fretted by jealousy,
tormented by her longing for the Of
fered money, oppressed by uneasiness
as to Cannon's next move, the thought
Of the long afternoon in the house was
uncomfortable to her. She could not re-
main unemployed and passive while
her mind was in this state of disturb
ance. Though the day was bad and
there was nothing to do down town,
she determined to go out. She might
find some distraction in watching the
passers-by and looking at the shop
windows.
By the time she was dressed, it was
four o'clock. The fog was thicker
| than ever, hanging over the city in
an even, motionless pail Of vapor. Its
breath had keen. penetrating chill,
like that exhaled by the mouth Of a
cavern. Coming down the steps into
1t she seemed to be entering white,
still sea, off which an air came that
| was pleasant on the heated dryness
Of her face. She had no place to 90
to, no engagement to keep, but in
| stinctively turned her steps in the
| downtown direction. Walking would
pass more time than going on the car.
| and she started down the street which
| slanted to a level and then climbed
long, dim reach of hill beyond. Its
emptiness-a characteristic of San
Francisco streets-struck upon her
observation with a sense of grip
ing, bleak dreariness. She could look
along the two lines of sidewalk till
they were lost in the gradual milky
thickening of the fog, and at intervals
see figure, faint and dreamlike, Ell
ther emerging from space in slow ap-
1
NAL withdrawal.
1t was melancholy, depressing
vista. She had not reached the top of
the long hil, before she decided that
she would walk no farther. Walking
was only bearable when there was
something to see. But she did not
know what else to do or where to go.
Indecision was not usually feature of
her character. To-day, however, the
unaccustomed strain Of temptation and

thing that she did not understand.
Like an amazed child she stared at:
Rose, baf1ied. confused, a little awed.
After a minute OF silence. che young
girl went on.
Il can't talk about 1t. ! don't alto
gether understand. Other people--theyi
must explain. I've been--no, not de-
ceived-but kept in the dark. But
be sure OF one thing, yesterday was
the end of it. They'll never-no one
that have any power over-will ever

could have happened. There's been a
mistake. horrible. unforgivable mis-
take You've been wronged and insult
ed, and I'm sorry, sorry and humili-
ated and ashamed. There are no
words"
She stopped again with gestuye Of
helpless indignation and disgust. and
rose to her feet. Berny, through the
darkness of her stunned astonishment4
realized that she was shaken ~ feel
ings she could not express.
