was angry at what he was doing"
1t was q subtly feminine way Of get
ting round the delicate points OF the
situation-that inconsistency feminine
way which separates Judgment Of the
individual from judgment Of his acts.
But 1t relieved the Bonanza King Of
the heaviest weight that had lain upon
him for many years, md, for once, he
gave thanks for the irrationalness Of
women.
We'll, good night, honey" he said,
mo matter what crazy notions you've
got, you're the old nln's girl all

She kissed him
And you won't forget your prom
lse?" she murmured.
"Of course not" he said stoutly. not
sure just what she was alluding to.
ANY promise I make to you stands
put till the Day of Judgment. Good
night"
When she left him, he lit another
cigar, sank lower in his chair and
stared at the fire.
1t was deadlock. In his helpless.
ness, the enraged helplessness of the
man who had ridden triumphantly
over all obstacles that fate had set in
his path, his prevailing thought was
how much he would like to kill Berry.
She had done all this. This viper of
q woman. the kind to tread on II she
raised her head, had bafled and beat.
Ell 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.
1t seemed for the moment as If
everything were over. They had
reached place where blank wall
stretched across the road. Berny's re-
Susing 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 puffed 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.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actors Story.

u nc NCLoTS oSOTys
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 Berny
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
him to be considerate Of her and keep
her on his mind, that he still H.
stinctively followed the acquired habit
Of thinking OF her comfort and ar
ranging for 1t. 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 hc 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 1t would
be necessary for him to dress and
leave the house. Berny would un.
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 I'M
molested, uninterrupted silence
caused slight sense of relief to
tighten the weight that was now al,
ways with him.
He had hardly opened the first sheet
| when q ring at the DELL d1spelled hib
hopes. 1t was one Of his wife's hab-
its never to carry latch-key, which
she looked upon as symbol Of that
bourgeois, middle-class helpfulness
that she had shaken off with her other
working.gi manners and customs
Dominick dropped the paper, waiting
for her entrance. and framing the
words with which he would acquaint
her with the fact that he was to bS
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 sprawl
ing handwriting was the name James
Delay Buford." pOmlnick remembered
his invitation to the tan 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.

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 it's circuit crossed
the mirror. Here, reflected from diff.
ferent point Of view, Berny was shown
in full face, her eyes lowered, her
hands moving over her plate. This
man scanned the reflection with i'm.
movable intentness. Berny faid down
her fork and pushed the fish away
with petulant movement. and the
watcher drew back behind the lace
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 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 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.
"Why didn't you come when beck
oned?" she said sharply. AZ
Because had other people to wait
on" said the waiter with equal asper-
ity. "They was here before you"
whats the matter with the dinner
tonight? It's all bad"

man, growing red with indignation,
his swollen eye glaring tlercely at her.
"And no else's complained. j guess

Berny made an angry movement
sometimes alluded to as "houncing''-.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee, even after they know it is doing
them harm, is puzzler But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
Zone day | asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as cousin % mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish, asked
for taste.

Yield Is Estimated at 200 900 Tons
Digging Begins and Factory
Opens Sept. is.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Longmont, Colo.-The digging OF
beets in this section has commenced
and it is expected that the factory will
begin operations Monday. The crop
is the largest ever raised in the Long
mont section. Seventeen thousand
acres are to be harvested. which will
yield upwards of 100000 tons.
Reports from all-sections are to the
effect that the beet crop was never
better. The tonnage will be heavy
and the sugar content high. II is esti-
mated that the money value will
amount to 81 500, ,O0o.
Besides hundreds who will be en-
ployed at the factory, it will take an
army of workers to get the big crop
out OF the ground. and 1t is feared that
trouble will be experienced in secur-
ing sufficient help.
AS result of the raising of beets
on such a large scale, over $4,000 cat
tie will be fed on the farms around
Longmont, beet pulp and tops being
used as feed, which will furnish en-
ploymcnt for another large number OF
men throughout the winter.
