Give me some money and let me go.
I'm beaten"
She lowered her head still farther
and burst into tears. So unexpected
were they that she had no prepara-
tons for them. Her handkerchief was
in the bead purse that hung on her
wrist, and, blinded by tears, she could
not find the clasp. Her fumbling
hand tried for a possible reserve sup
ply in her belt, and then in despair
went up to her face and lifted her
veil trying to brush away the falling
drops. The Bonanza King stared at
her amazed, as much surprised as II
he had seen a man weep. Finally he
felt in his own pocket, produced a
crisply-laundered square of white
linen and handed 1t to her. observ-
ing soothingly:
Here, take mine. You're all broke
up, aren't your"
She seized his offering and mopped
her cheeks with 1t, smiling and gasp

solicitude.

II get out, drop out of sight, the way

about what said? Wouldn't any

The Bonanza King made no answer
He had no Intention of talking with
this Objectionable womah about his
daughter. But in his heart hope
sprang at the words. They were an
echo Of his own desires and opinions.
II this woman took the money and
went, would not Rose, in the course
OF time. relent in her attitude of iron
disapproval, and smile on the man
she loved? Could any woman hold
out for ever In such a position?
See here" Berry went out, "I'n
leave statement. I'll put In in your
hands that I changed my mind and

fore a notary II you want. And it's
true. She needn't think that I'm be-
ing forced out to make a place for

She had leaned nearer to him from
the chair, one finger tapping the cor
ner Of the desk to emphasize her
words. Scrutinizing her as she spoke.
he became more than ever i'm
pressed with the conviction that she
was held in tremor of febrlle excite
ment. Her voice had an under note
of vibration in 1t, like the voice OF
one who breathes quickly. The orchid
on her breast trembled with the trem-
bling OF her frame.
Look here" he said quietly, II

made you change your mind so sud
denly? A few days ago you were all
up on fiddle.strings at the suggestion
of taking that money. Here. this
morning, in you pop, and you're all

could. It's broken me to pieces. I

to go somewhere where I'm at peace.
where the people don't hate me and
hound me-"
Her voice suddenly grew hoarse and
she stopped. He looked at her in
surprise. She bent her face down,
biting her under lip, and picked tremu-
lously at the leaves Of the purple
orchid as II arranging them.
you've beaten me-" she said in a
suddenly strangled voice; you've

"a memory of those miserable nights
Of perturbation and uncertainty swept

uttering small, sobbing noises, sunk
In abandoned despondence In the hol-
low of the chair.
The Bonanza King was moved. The
facile tears of women did not affect
him, but the tears of this bold. hard,
unbreakable creature, whom he had
regarded only as an antagonist to be
vanQuished, stirred him to a sort of
abashed sympathy. There was some
thing singularly pathetic about the
completeness of her breakdown. She,
who had been so audacious an adver-
sary, now In all her crumpled finery
weeping into his handkerchief, was
so entirely and utterly a feeble,
crushable thing.
Come, brace up" he said cheer
ingly. I'VE can't do any talking while
you're acting this way. What's the

can't bear 1t. It would give a prize
fighter nervous prostration. I can't
bear It," Her voice grew small and
high. Really l can't" she managed
to articulate. and then dissolved into
another food.
The old man, high In his swivel
chair, sat with his hands in his pock-
cts. his lips pursed and his eyes on
the floor. Once or twice he whirled
the chair slightly from one side to the
other. After pause of some min.
utes he said:
Are you prepared to agree to any
thing Mrs. Ryan and I demanded?"
After the last outbreak she had
completely abandoned herself to the
hysterical condition that was beyond
her control. Now she made an effort
| to recover herself, sat up, swallowing
and gasping, while she wiped her
eyes.
I'm ready to do 1t ALL" she shifted,
"only-only-" she paused on the
verge Of another collapse, suppressed
1t, and said with some show of re-
turning animation, "only must have
some money nova guarantee"
"Oh," he said with the descending
note Of comprehension. LAS l remem-
Der, we agreed to pay you seven thou
sand dollars for the first year, the
year Of desertion."
She lowered the handkerchief en-
tirely, presenting to him a dis1gured
face, all its good looks gone, but show
ing distinct signs of attention.
Il don't want the seven thousand.
I'll waive 1t. want a sum down,
guarantee, an advance. You offered me
at first fifty thousand dollars. Give
me that down and I'll go this after
noon"
THAT wasn't our original arrange
ment," he said to gain time.
Deduct 1t from the rest. must
have 1t. can't go without It. If you
give me the check now I'll leave for
New York tonight"
Her reviving interest and force
seemed to have quenched the sources
of her tears as suddenly as her ex-
hausted nerves had made them flow.
But her disfigured face, her figure
which seemed to have shrunken in its
fine clothes, were extremely pathetic.
