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 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, ttrbed 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 Berry from his mind,
and let Rose come in her place. His
thoughts. always held from her sprang
at her, enclrcled 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 II called. he turned sharply and
saw Rose standing a few yards away
from him, looking at him with an ex-
preston of affrighted indecision.
Il wasn't sure II was you" she said.
And then when | saw 1t was, was
going to steal away before you saw

What brought you here?"
Nothing in particular. II was such

without thinking. My feet brought

II 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 1t, and pressed II
to his heart, and to his lips. then
loosed It and rose to his feet, saying
to himself:
Eyes, that's a good deal"
Her eyes followed him, and then
brought up on the schooner bearing
away on It's long tack, strained and ca
reening in the breeze that, down there
in the open, blew fresh and strong
from the great Pacific.

They stood side by side, gazing
down at 1t 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 had
seen Dominick there talking with Miss
Cannon.
She was quiet for the rest OF the
afternoon, but II was not till she had
reached her own home, silent In its
untenanted desertion, that she had
an opportunity to turn the full vigoi
OF her mind on what she had heard.
She put from her mind all intention
Of ever taking the money. She want

She knew that the interview fol
which Bill Cannon had asked was fol

to make his final offer. 1t was mo

lowered in distracted temptation ovel

or late Berry had not been sleeping
we'll and the fear that this would react
upon her looks had spurred her to the
unwonted exertion of walking. The
route she had chosen was one Of those
thoroughfares which radiate from Mar
ket Street. and though not yet slums,
are far removed from the calm, wide
gentillty of the city's more dignifed
highways With all her cleverness,
she had never shaken of the tastes
and instincts of the class she had
come from.
Walking loiteringly forward, she
crossed Powell Street, and approached
the entrance OF that home Of vaude.
vile, the Granada Theater. There
had been a recent change Of bill, and
as she drew near she looked over the
posters standing by the entrance on
which the program for the coming
week was printed In large letters. Mid
way down one Of these, her eye was
caught by a name and she paused and
stood reading the words:
JAMES DELAY BUFORD

Monologist

Entitled
KLONDIKE MEMORIES"
She remembered at once that this
was the actor Dominick had spoken OF
as having been showed in with them
at Antelope. Dominick had evidently
not expected he would come to San
Francisco. He had said the man had
been going to act In Sacramento.
AS she walked down the street she
saw that she was approaching the cal
line which passed close to her ole
home. A clock in a window showed
her it was nearly five. Hannah would
have been home for some time, anc
Hazel might be expected within an
hour Without more thought she
hailed an uptown car.
She found them both at home, Ha

OF nonchalance, "and IL l want can

quarter OF a million. Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars isn't so
much when you've got millions In
trunks. What's that to the Ryans?"
She rose abruptly from her seat,
pushing It back and feeling that she
had better go before she said too
much.
AS she rose, Hazel rose too her face
full of suspicious concern.

Berry had told so many lies that
she did not bother about a few more.
Moreover, she was determined not to
let her sisters know about Rose Can

turning to pick up her feather boa.
"Of course it's not. He's not that kind

that"
