abashed a little by the ease with
which Fate unties the knots that
mans clumsy fingers work over In
vain. And 1t was united. They were
free-the boy and girl he loved-to
realize his and their own dreams. IL
would need no years of wooing to melt
Rose from stony resistance. Nobody
had been sacrificed
He felt sense of gratitude toward
Berry. Down in his heart he was
conscious of stirring Of something
that was kindly, almost affectionate,
toward her. 1t did not require great
stretch of Imagination to see himself
and her as two knowing, world-batter-
ed rogues who had combined to let
youth and innocence have their hap
piness. He could almost feel the part
nership with her she had spoken Of,
a sort of bond of Masonic understand
ing, kindred attitude in matters OF
ethics. They had mutually low es-
innate of human nature, bold, cool,
unscrupulousness, daring courage
that never faltered. In fact, he was
whole fifty thousand dollars.
"She could have got 1t out of me"
he said to himself, pondering pensive-
ly. "If she'd stuck out for 1t I'd have
given 1t to her. And she might just
as we'll have had it."
That evening for the first time In
nearly three years Dominick Ryan
dined with his mother in the great
dining-room of the Ryan mansion.
Cornelia was out with Jack Duffy so
Mrs. Ryan had her boy all to herself
and she beamed and glowed and gloat-
ed on him as he sat opposite her,
the Redeemed light of the candles fall
ing on his beloved, familiar face.
After dinner they went into the sit
ting-room, the sanctum with the ebon-
lied cherry furniture where the fami-
ly always retired when important mat
ters were afoot. Here, side by side,
they sat before the fireplace with the
portrait of the late Cornelius Ryan
looking benignly down on them. They
did not talk much. The subject of
the young mans marriage had been
thoroughly gone over in the after
noon. Later on, his mother would ex-
tract from him further particulars,
till she would be as conversant with
that miserable chapter of his life as
If she had lived it herself.
Tonight they were both in the qui-
escent state that follows turmoil and
strife. They sat close together, star

desired-Corneila's would be dowry
on her wedding day and Dominick's
well, Dominick had had hard times
enough. She would go down,to-mor-
row morning and see her lawyer
about it.
AT the same hour, in the house of
the other rich man, the Bonanza
King, having driven the servants from
the room with violent words that did
not indicate bad humor so much as
nigh spirits, told his daughter the
story He told 1t shortly, hardly
more than the main facts, and when 1t
was concluded, forbore to make COM
ments or, in fact, to look at her. 1t
was great deliverance, but he was
not quite sure that his darling would
experience the frank, unadulterated
JOY that had possessed both himself
ana Mrs. Ryan without restraining
qualms. He did not know what to
say to Rose. There were mysterious
complexities in her character that
made him decide to confine his state
ment to recital of facts, eliminating
those candid expressions Of feeling
winch he :ould permit himself when
talking to Mrs. Ryan or Berny.
AS soon as he had told 1t all he
rose from his chair as If ending the
interview. His daughter rose, too,
pale and silent, and he put his arm
round her shoulders and pressed her
against his chest in a goodnight hug.
She kissed him and went up stairs to
ner own rooms, and he returned to his
armchair at the end of the dining
table. Here, as was his wont, he sat
smoking and pondering, turning over
IN MS head the various aspects of the
curious story and its unexpected out
come. Once, as the memory Of Berny
weeping into his handkerchief recur-
red to him, he stirred uneasily and
muttered to himself:
why didn't the damned fool stick
out for the whole fifty thousand? Id
nave given it to her as soon as not"
Meantime the storm center, the TO-
Gus round which the hopes and an
gers and fears of this little group
mad circled, was speeding eastward
IN the darkness of the early night.
Berny sat in the corner of her Sec
ton with her luggage. piled high on
the seat before her, pillow behind
her head. In the brightly clear light,

rors. she looked less haggard, calmer
and steadier, than she had looked for
many weeks. Relief was at her heart.
Now that she had turned her back on
it she realized how she had hated 1t
all-the fiat, the isolation, the unsuc-
cessful struggle, Dominick and his
superior ways.

sire for the new, the unfamiliar, the
untried, which had taken her far

The Storm Center Moves.


AS soon as Berny had left his Of

Ryan. telling her OF the interview he
had just had with her daughter-in-law.
He did not mention the check, simply
stating Berny's decision to accept
their proposal and leave her husband.
The matter was of too intimate ma
ture to trust to the telephone and he
sent the note by one of his own
clerks, who had instructions to wait
for an answer, as the old man did not
know what Mrs. Ryan might already
have heard from Dominick.
1t threw its recipient into state Of
agitated, quivering exultation. Mrs.
Ryan had heard nothing from her son.
and her hopes of the separation had
sunk to the lowest ebb. Not so pru-
dent as Cannon. she called up Domi-
nick at the bank, asking him If 1t
were true that his wife had left him.
and beseeching him simply to tell her
"yes" or no" The young man, ham,
pered by the publicity of his surround

telling her that there had been a
change in his domestic life, but Sthat
he could not enter into details now.

questions, as he would be at home at
three o'clock that afternoon. when he
would explain the whole matter to
her.

read the letter. He was confident
