view was like a kaleidoscope, which
is Unexpectedly turned. Sitting mo.
tionless on the bench she saw the IA
miliar aspect Of life fallen into new
shapes, taking on alien forms.
She realized that Dominick had new.
er been happy with her, and, for the
first time, she understood the gulf be
tween them. She saw what the life
was that he had wanted TO lead, and
that he could have led with the other
woman. 1t would have been that very
form of existence which Berry had al
ways derided, and thought an outward
expression of the inward dullness of
people who had children, looked shah
by, and did not care for money. Now
she felt insure as to whether her
scorn Of ii was not foolish and unen-
lightened. AS in a sudden forward
shoot Of search-light, she saw them
-Dominick and Rose-happy in a way
she had never dreamed of being happy,
In a world so far from hers that she
had never before had a clear look at
II, man and women concentrated up
on the piece of life that belonged to
them, living passionately for each 9TH
er, Indifferent to all that seemed to
her of value
She brought her mental vision back
from this upon herself and felt shaken
and slightly sick. Seeing beyond the
circle of her own experience and SEN
sation for the first time, she would
have said to any companion who
might have shared her thoughts: mo
wonder Dominick didn't get on with
mel" For a ispassionately-conte
plative moment she saw herself in
Dominick's eyes; she saw their mar
ried life as it had been to him. She
felt sorry for both of them-for him
in his forced acquiescence with the
conditions around him, for herself be-
cause Of her ignorance of all he had
vented and expected.
couldn't be any different" she
whispered to herself. that's the way
am"
She never could be any different.
She was one kind of woman and Rose
Cannon was another, and Dominick
belonged to Rose Cannon's kind. She
did not know that it was so much bet
ter than her kind but it was different.
They made her feel like an outsider in
a distant world, and the feeling gave
her a sensation of deadly depression.
The burning heat of resentme nt that
had made her speak to Rose was gone.
All the burning heats and angers Of
the last two months seemed to belong
to the past. An icy, nostalgia ache Of
loneliness had hold of her The accus-

a 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 a passer-
by. She was like a person who has
is in no hurry to reach II.
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, Berry 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 Berry on line with himself in
the corner by the door. He could see
her even better here than in the res
taurant. She sat, a 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 furtively 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 nd silence
held the street, and he %uld easily
follow her as she walled upward
along the damp and deserted side

survey was longer. The glance he
bent upon her was sharp and grew in
intensity. He made no attempt to
enter or to move nearer her, but any
one watching him would have seen
that his interest increased with the
prolongation of his scrutiny.
As II afraid of being observed he
cast a quick surreptitious look over
the room, which in its circuit crossed
the mirror. Here, reflected from a diff
ferent point of view, Berry was shown
in full face. her eyes lowered, her
hands moving over her plate. This
man scanned the reflection with i'm
movable intentness. Berry laid down
her fork and pushed the fish away

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 waiter entered, his arms piled
with dishes, and she made a beckon-
ing gesture to him. He answered with
jerk of his head, and. going to the
table where the Spanish women sat,
unloaded his cargo there. as he set
1t out exchanging remarks with the
women in their own language and
showing no haste to Berny's summons.
She moved in her chair and muttered
angrily. The man behind the lace cur
tain advanced his head and through
the interstices of the drapery tried
to look directly at her. In this posi-
ton he could only catch a glimpse OF
her, but he saw her hand stretched
forward to take one Of the red beans
from the glass saucer in the middle
of the table. 1t was an elegant hand,
the skin smooth and white, the fingers
covered with rings. She again beck
oned, this time peremptorily, and the
waiter came. The listener could hear
her voice distinctly as he watched her
reflection in the glass.

oned?" she said sharply.

ity. They was here before you"

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actors 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 a 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 was
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
MIN 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
for one of her sisters to join her.
The fiat 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 a
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 I'M
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 IN
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
working-girl manners and customs
Dominick dropped the paper. waiting
for her entrance, and framing the
words with which he would acuuaint
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 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.

1t was a subtly feminine way of get

situation-that inconsistency feminine
way which separates judgment of the
individual from Judgment of his acts.

the heaviest weight that had lain upon

When she left him, he lit another
cigar. sank lower in his chair and
stared at the fire.
1t was a deadlock. In his helpless
ness. the enrasEd helplessness Of the
man who had ridden triumphantly
over all obstaf es that fate had BET in
his path, his prevailing thought was
how much he would like to kill Berry.
She had done all this. This viper Of

en- them all. He could not murder
her, but he thought with grim lips of
how he could crush and grind her
down and let her feel how heavy Bill
Cannon's hand could be.
II 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 pulled 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.

Friend or Foe.


For some time after Rose had left
her. Berry remained on the bench. not
moving. her glance resting on that
part Of the path whence the young
girls figure had faded from view.
The night slowly deepened, impreg-
mating the gray atmosphere with a vel
vety depth Of shadow that oozed
through 1t like an infusion Of darker,
denser element Lights came out
First sporadically, here and there
blooming through the opaque dusk,
not suddenly, but with an effect Of
! gradualness, as though the air was SO
thick it took some time to break
through 1t. Then came more. Rows
of windows appeared in long, magni-
ned sputters. All round the plaza
there was a suggestion Of effaced
brightness, as Of painting which
b had once been sharply outlined and
brilliant, but was now rubbed into a
formless. impressionist study Of shad-
ows and underlined, yellow blurs. The
golden halos of lamps blotted the dark
at intervals. and now and then the fig
ures, which had occupied the benches,
passed into the circles of vaporous H.
