The violin solo played by Nr. jacob
son at the evening service was much
appreciated In future the sunday
evening services will commence at
1880 p. m. instead of at 3 clock.
There was no Boys Club meeting
on Tuesday evening owing to the
sad bereavement which took place
next door, and the Junior Girls
Club only held q very short meeting
on Wednesday afternoon, for the
same reason. The heartfelt sympa-
thies of the members of our Church
are extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper
in this hour of trial.
Monday evening the committee ap-
pointed to make plans for the big
Halloween Party, met at the rectory
and completed the arrangements to
be laid before the Young Ladies'
Club at their meeting held Wednes-
day evening at the residence of Mrs.
Milan Miller. Various committees
were then appointed to make the fl
nal arrangements and from what we
can gather there will certainly be one
big time at the Young Ladies' Club
Halloween Party" After expenses
are paid the proceeds will be devoted
to our Sunday School work. AS far
as we can Judge at present, there will
be a splendid program Of music--Mr
Caldwell has kindly offered to care
for the instrumental and other musi-
cal items and this in ITSELF assures
us of "a first class performance. There
will be a Chamber OF Horrors, For
tune Tellers, fish ponds, and many
weird and grotesque side shows. A
full program will be announced later.
Watch for the secret signs in the
store windows.
The Ladies Guild next Thursday,
will meet with Mrs. Milan Miller at
2:30 p. m.
The Young Ladies Club meets with
the Misses Bennett next Wednes-
day evening at 1880. A full atten-.

sumo operations, and push forward
the work as much as possible, before
the regular winter sets in. For the
past two or three nights the peace
of the camp has been disturbed to
an alarming degree, by the roars

months and eight days, being born in
Bainville, Montana, May 3Oth, 1911,

This is the second time that the
parents, Mr.. Allan N. and Mrs. Flora
B. Cooper have been led to the
valley and Shadow of Death with
children, little Avis having preceded

girl are left with them. Horace was

Much sympathy is extended to Mr..
and Mrs. Cooper and Horace in their
great sorrow.
The following verses were read at
the services.
God knoweth Best.
The gates of life swing either way
On noiseless hinges night and day.
One enters through the open door,
One leaves to return no more.
And which is happier, which more
more blest,
God knowest best.
We greet with smiles the one who
Like sunshine to our hearts and
hcsles,
and reach out longing hands with
tears
To him who in his ripened years
Goes gladly to his heavenly rest.
God knoweth best.
God knoweth best.
He guards the gates. We need not
dread
The path these little feet must tread.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actor's 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 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 a
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, sho
had so long and so sternly trained
him 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
home to dinner. Dominick nodded
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 un-
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 hia
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-girl 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 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 a 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.

held the street, and he could earily
follow her as she walkod upward
along the damp and deserted side
walk. Halfway up the block a build
ing larger that those surrounding II
rose into the night. A mounting file
OF bay-windows broke its facade, and,
few steps above the level OF the
pavement, line of doors with num-
bers showing black on Illuminated
transoms revealed It to the man oppo-
site as fiat building. Here Berny
stopped and without hesitation, evil

the place, mounted the steps and

| The man, with soft and careful foot
steps, crossed the street. AS he drew
nearer he saw that she was not using
iatch'key, but was waiting to be ad-
mitted, leaning as II tired against the
wall. He had reached the sidewalk
when the door opened, vouchsafing
him bright, unimpeded view Of
long flight of stairs carpeted in green.

fore the door closed, he saw her

sound of greeting or inquiry. She
was therefore either expected or an
habitue of the place. When the door
was shut he, too, mounted the porch

transom. He whispered 1t over sew
eral times. the light falling out on his
thin, aquiline face with a sweep OF

Satisfied with his investigation, he
left the porch and walked rapidly
down the street to the corner. Here
there was a lamp, and halting under
its light he drew from his pocket a
leather wallet and took therefrom
Dominick Ryan's card with an address
written on it. The penciled numbers
were the same as those on the door
he had just left, and he stood looking
fixedly at the card, an expression Of
excitement and exultation growing on
his face,

table where the Spanish women sat,
unloaded his cargo there, as he set
it 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-
tion 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.
why didn't you come when / beck

Because had other people to wait

by his long survey. also turned bach
into the general room. Close to the
opening there was an unoccupiet

no objective point in view, or at least
is in no hurry to reach it.
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 door
way opposite. They were the only
passengers who boarded the car at
that corner, Berny entering the closed
interior, the man taking seat on the
outside. He had it 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, it's 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 Berny on line with himself in
the corner by the door. He could see
her even better here than in the res
taurant. She sat, 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
motonless; 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 and silence
