her finger-tips, her figure bent forward
and motionless, she looked out into
the street as II she saw something
there OF absorbing interest. But she
saw nothing. All her mental activity
was bent on the problem Of Domi-
nick's telephone message. She did not
believe 1t. She was in that state
where trifes light as air all point one
way, and to have DOmlnick stay out
to dinner with a sudden and unexpect-
ed friend from New York" was more
than trife. She assured herself with
slow, cold reiteration that he was din
ing with Rose Cannon in the big house
on California Street, II they walked
together on Sunday mornings, why
shouldn't they dine together on week
day nights? They were careful Of ap-
pearances and they would never let
themselves be seen together in any
public place till they were formally
engaged. The man from New York
was fiction. She-that immaculate,
perfect girl-had invented him. Domi-
nick could not invent anything. He
was not that kind Of a man. But Ber-
ny knew that all women can lie when
the occasion demands, and Rose Can
non could thus supply her lovers de-
ficiencies.
With her blankly-staring eyes fixed
on the white outside world, her men
tai vision conjured up a picture of
them at dinner that night. sitting op-
posite each other at a table glistening
with the richest Of glass and silver,
while soft-footed menials waited OBJ
seQuiously upon them. Bill Cannon
was not In the picture. Berny's imagi-
nation had excluded him, pushing him
out Of the romance into some unseen,
uninteresting region where people who
were not lovers dined duly by them
selves. She could not imagine Rose
and Dominick otherwise than alone,
exchanging tender glances over the
newest form Of champagne glasses
filled with the choicest brand Of cham
payne.
A sound escaped her, a sound OF
pain, as If forced from her by the
grinding of jealous passions within.
She dropped the curtain and rose to
her feet. If they married 1t would
be always that way with them. They
would have everything in the world,
everything that to Berny made life
worth while. Even Paris, with her
three hundred thousand dollars to
open all it's doors, would be savor-
less place to her If Rose and Dominick
were to be left to the enjoyment Of
all the pleasures and luxuries of life
back In California.
Unable to rest, fretted by jealousy,
tormented by her longing for the Of
fered money, oppressed by uneasiness
as to Cannon's next move, the thought
Of the long afternoon In the house was
unendurable to her. She could not re-
main unemployed and passive while
her mind was in this state of disturb
ance. Though the day was bad and
there was nothing to do down town,
she determined to go out She might
find some distraction in watching the
passers-by and looking at the shop
windows.
BY the time she was dressed, it was
four o'clock. The fog was thicker
than ever, hanging over the city in
an even, motionless pail Of vapor. Its
breath had a keen, penetrating chill,
like that exhaled by the mouth OF q

would not be home to dinner, as a
college friend Of his from New York
had Just arrived and he would dine
and go to the theater with him that
evening. Berny's ear, ready to dis

the mans name. AS Dominick did
not give It she asked for 1t, and to
her strained and waiting attention it
