You didn't know anything about 1t
then" the wife said sullenly, wanting
still to be defiant and finding all her
defiance overwhelmed by an invading
sensation of feeling small, mean and
contemplate
Know it?" said the girl, letting a
glance of scorn touch the questioner.
Know it and let it go on? But sup
pose you've right to ask me such
question"
Il guess l have" said Berry, but her
voice did not have any assurance of
her conviction on the subject. 1t
sounded fiat and spiritless.
You have. You seem to me to have
right to say anything savage and
angry and insulting And I can only
say to you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and
ask your pardon-for me and for the
others. And that doesn't make it any
good"
Berry swallowed dryly and said:
mo, it doesn't"
All | can do now is to promise you
that it stops today and for ever.
You'll never be bothered again by any
Thing Of the kind. You can go back to
your home and feel that never again

about it. Good-by."
She turned away as she spoke and
Without a backward look walked rap
idIy down the gravel walk to the
street. With an immovable, unwink-
ing gaze, Berry followed her figure as

rents that surrounded it.
Berry sat without moving on the
bench, staring in the direction in
which it had disappeared. Her hands
lay limp in her lap, the fog beaded in
a crystal boar on her clothes. She did
not notice its growing chill nor the
rapid downcoming of the dark. Her
body was as motionless as a statue,
but her mind was like a still. rankly.

mistress and maid were on terms of
affectionate intimacy and the progress
of the toilet was generally enlivened
by gossip and laughter. Tonight the
girl was singularly silent, responding
with monosyllables and sometimes not
at all to the remarks of her assistant.
AS the woman drew the fastenings of
the dress together, she could feel that
the body the gown clipped so closely
quivered, like the casing Of machinery,
vibrating to powerful conclusions
within
The silence that continued to hold
her throughout dinner passed unno-
ticed, as Gene was there and enlivened
the passage of the meal by contrib
uting an almost unbroken stream of
talk. The night before he had been to
play, the plot of which, and it's de-
velopment in four acts, he now related
with a fullness of detail which testi-
fed to the closeness of his attention
and the accuracy of his memory. AS
each course was removed from the
table, and the young man could once
more give his undivided attention to
the matter of discourse, he leaned
back in his chair and took up the
dropped thread with fresh zest and
some such remarks as:
In the beginning of the next act,
the hero comes in with his hat on,
and first he says"-and so on.
With each Of these renewals of the
narrative the Bonanza King subsidized
against his chair-back in a limp atti-
tude, staring with gloomy fixity at his
boy, and expelling his breath in long
audible rush Of air, which was some
times a sigh and sometimes ap-
preached the proportions of groan
At the end Of dinner, when Gene
announced his intention of leaving as
he was to attend vaudeville perform
ance, the old man began to show signs
Of reviving animation, going so far as
politely to ask his son where he was
going and with whom. His manner
was marked by a warm, hearty encour.
agement, as he said:
Get the whole vaudeville program

1t to us tomorrow night Therell be
about twelve parts to it, and Rose can
order two extra courses for dinner,
and we might hire some men with
stringed instruments for an accom-
paniment."
Gene, with inroceut good-humor, re-
sponded gaily:
Cali right, Esther, I'll give it my best
attention, and if there's anything es-
pecially good, I'll report to you. You
and Rose might like to go some night"
His father, disappointed that his
shaft had made no impression upon
the young mans invulnerable ami
ability, emitted a scornful snort, and
made no further response to Genes

Mystery Of Sleep.


Sleep, in which we spend about q
of the mysteries of biology, despite
the attempts of scientists to find So
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois Of Mar
settles, after prolonged series of ex-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to sntitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products, which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. DR.. Claparede Of &C.
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection of the or
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon Cajal
who formulated the neurotic theory,
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter of
the brain sink down and cease to ex-
cite each other during sleep.
= But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced. 1t Is a matter Of absolute
knowledge that in sleep there Is
certain absence Of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup
ply of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
is recommended as one Of the best
means of overcoming sleeplessness.
Absence of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss Of con"
seriousness, which is the chief charae
teristic of true sleep.

Poetic Justice In France.

The following is case of poetic
justice as melted out in France:
A well-known Partisan architect
was sitting in his office when he heard
a knock at the door. AS he wished to
be alone, he took no notice Of the
knock but went on with his work A
few minutes later hesheard a key
moving in the lock. Not doubling that
his visitor was burglar, the archf.
tect armed himself with revolver
and quietly hid behind some curtains.
Presently the thief entered and pro-
ceeded to rife the place. Then sud-
denly he started and grew pale. In
a mirror he had seen revolver lev
eled at his head from behind the cur
tains.

chitect, and shout 'Police!'"

to obey, and SO summoned the officer

how could you have done it? How
could you have done such a thing?
Such hateful, horrible thing"
Horrible thing?" he repeated with
an air Of almost naive establishment.
What's horrible about it?"
You know. don't have to tell
you; you know. Don't say to me that
you don't think it's horrible. Don't
make me feel as If we were suddenly
thousands Of miles apart"
The Bonanza King knew that in
many matters. in most matters involv-
ing questions Of ethics. they were
more thousands Of miles apart than
she even now suspected. That was

wife, but I forbid all that, and I'm 60
ing to send you back to prison
can't seem to believe that it's my
Rosey who's saying that, and who's SO
hard and inhuman."
Rose turned from the fire. He
noted an expression almost of austen
ity on her face that was as new to
him as the revelation of obstinacy and
Indifference to his will she had shown
tonight.
Papa, you don't understand what I
feel. It's not what you want, or what
l want, or what Dominick wants. It's
not what's going to please us and
make us comfortable and happy. It's
something that's much more impor-
tant than that. 1 can't make Domi-
nick happy and let him make his life
success at the expense of that wom-
an. l can't take him out Of prison. as
you call it, because he's got a re-
sponsibility in the prison, that he vol
UNFAIRLY took on himself, and that
he's got to stand by. A man can't
stay by his marriage only as long as
it's pleasant. He can't throw down
the woman he's made his wife just
because he finds he doesn't like her.
If she's been disagreeable that's a
misfortune, but it doesn't liberate him
from the promises he's made"
"Then you think when a man like
Dominick Ryan, hardly more than a
boy, makes a mistake that ruins his
life, he's got to stay by it?"
Eyes, he must He's given solemn
promise. He must keep it. Mistake
or sin doesn't matter"
The old man was silent. He had
presented his case as strongly and per.
suasively as he knew how, and he had
lost 1t. There was no longer any use
in arguing with that unshakable fem
mime obstinacy, rooted, not in reason
but in something rock-like, off which
the arguments Of reason harmlessly
glanced. He had dim, realizing sense
that at the bottom of the woman's IL
logical, whim-driven nature, there was
that indestructible foundation Of
blind, governing instincts, and that in
them lay her power.
81 guess that lets me out" he said,
turning to knock off the long ash on
his cigar. II guess there's no use.
Rosey, for you and me to try to come
to an agreement on this matter"
mo, there isn't. And don't let's
talk about 1t any more" She turned
from the fire and came toward him.
But you must promise me one thing
that that woman Is to be let alone.
that no one-you or any one you have
any control over-makes any more Of
fers Of money to her."
She came to stand beside his
chair. He wanted to hold out his
hand to her as was his custom when
she stood near him, but he was afraid
that she might not take it.
Eyes, l can promise that" he said.
"Ill not offer her any more money.
don't want to see her again, God
knows"
1t was an easier promise to make
than Rose guessed. The old man, I'M
der an air of mild concurrence in her
demands, experienced a sensation OF
cynical amusement at the thought that
the first move for a reopening Of nego-
tiations must come from Berry.
ooh, yes, I'll promise that" he said
amicably. you needn't be afraid that
I'm going to go on offering her for
tune. The things been done, the
woman's refused 1t, and there 1t
stands. I've no desire to open 1t
