WOMEN GROWING

ENGLISH AUTHORIZES AGREES
WITH BISHOP OF LONDON
ON SUBJECT.

Mrs. Harold Gorst. the novelist,
who depicts submerged life with such
unfiinching realism, has just created
some surprise by coming forward as
the champion Of the bishop Of Lon
don because his lordship said that
among some women there Is spring
ing up real sex hatred which was
being met among certain section OF
men with an angry contempt This
statement was of. course, promptly
denied by the feminist leaders in Eng
land, but the writer maintains that 1t
Is quite accurate.
II am beginning TO think" Mrs.
Gorst Is quoted as saying, that as
far as the young girl Of today goes.
there Is a great deal In what the
bishop said. She seems not to like
men at all"
She explained that II amounted to
an actual sex problem. and was es-

1t was a deadlock. In his helpless

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 baffied and beat

her, but he thought with grim lips of
how he could crush and grind her
down and let her feel how heavy Bill

1t seemed for the moment as II
everything were over They had
reached a place where a blank wall
stretched across the road. Berny's re-
fusing the money had been a serious
obstacle, but not an unconquerable
one. Rose tonight had given the whole
plot its death blow. With lowering
brows he puffed 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.

stirred by air currents and half held

of the guitar outside, and the loud

women in the corner.

picked up her fork. She did not no.
tice that man was standing near
her in the archway. the edge of the
lace curtain in his hand, looking
about the room. He threw side
glance at her which swept her shoul-
ders, her hat, and her down-bent pro-
file. and looked away. Then, as II
something in this glimpse had sud
denly touched spring of curiosity,
he looked back again. His second
survey was longer. The glance he
bent upon her was sharp and grew in

one watching him would have seen
that his interest increased with the
prolorgation of his scrutiny.

in full face. her eyes lowered, her
hands moving over her plate. This
man scanned the reflection with i'm
movable intentness. Berny laid down
her fork and pushed the fish away
with petulant movement. and the
watcher drew back behind the lace
curtain. Through its meshes he con.
tinued to stare at the mirror, his lips
tightly shut, his face becoming rigid
in the fixity of his observation.

The man. with soft and careful foot

nearer he saw that she was not using
latch-key. but was waiting to be ad-
mitted, leaning as If tired against the
wall. He had reached the sidewalk
when the door opened. vouchsafing
him bright, unimpeded view OF
long flight of stairs carpeted in green.
| Berny 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 n
sound Of greeting or inquiry. She
was therefore either expected or an
habitue of the place. When the door
was shut he. too, mounted the porch
steps and read the number on the
transom. He whispered 1t over sew
eral times. the light falling out on his
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 halting under
its light he drew from his pocket
leather wallet and took therefrom
Dominick Ryan's card with an address
written on 1t. 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.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actor,s 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 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
message for her with the Chinaman.
He felt rather guilty where she waa
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
him to be considerate of her and keep
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
The fat 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 q
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 un-
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 un-
molested, uninterrupted silence
caused a 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. 1t was one of his wife's hab-
its never to carry a latch-key. which
she looked upon as a symbol of that
bourgeois. middle-class helpfulness
that she had shaken of with her other
workir g-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 a card. Traced on 1t In a sprawl
ing handwriting was the name James
Delay Buford." Dominick remembered
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.

who came for his order, he asked for
cup of black coffee and a liqueur
glass of brandy. He also requested an
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 lift
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 its contents, not
moving as Berny brushed back the
lace curtain and passed him. Her
eyes absently fell on him and she had
vague impression of the dark dome

opened sheets of the journal. AS she
rustled by he lowered the paper and
followed her with a keen, watchful
glance. He did not move till the

he threw the paper aside, snatched up
his hat and flicked silver dollar on

who came forward.

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 slow. lettering
step. 1t was an easy night to follow
without being observed. Walking al
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
then glancing at window or passer
by. She was like a person who has

no objective point in view, or at least
is In no hurry to reach 1t.
But this did not seem to be the
case. for when she reached the square
she took her stand on the corner
where the Sacramento street cars
stop. The man drew back into a door
way opposite. They were the only
passengers who boarded the car at
that corner. Berny entering the closed
interior, the man taking a seat on the
outside. He had 1t to himself here,
and chose the end seat by the win
| dow. Muttering imprecations at the
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 Berny 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
down. Her hat cast a shadow over
the upper part of her face, and below
this the end of her nose, her mouth
and chin were revealed as pale and
sharply-cut as an ivory carving. She
seemed to be sunk in thought and sat
motionless; the half of her face he
could see, looking very white against
her black fur collar.
He was furtiyely surveying her,
when she started, glanced out of the
window and signed to the conductor
to stop. The man on the front dropped
to the ground and stole lightly round
the car. SO that its moving body hid
him from her. Emptiness and silence
