nearer he saw that she was not using
a latch-key, but was waiting to be ad-
mitted, leaning as If tired against the
wall. He had reached the sidewalk
when the door opened, vouchsafing
him a bright, unimpeded view of a
long flight Of stairs carpeted in green.
Berry entered and for a moment, be-
fore the door closed, he saw her
mounting the stairs. She had not
asked for any one, or indeed made a
sound Of greeting or inquiry. She
was therefore either expected or an
habitue Of the place. When the door

Satisfied with his Investigation, he
left the porch and walked rapidly
down the street to the corner. Here
there was lamp, and hating under
it's light he drew from his pocket
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

disgustedly clearing away the crumbs
OF the last occupant with daintily-
brushing movements of her finger-tips,
when the waiter drew up beside her
and demanded her order. It was part
OF this weird evening, when natural
surroundings seemed to combine with
her own overwrought condition to ere

leave the place as soon as possible.

liquid In which dark bits of leaves and

ly, and, after mouthful or two, put
down her spoon and leaned back

and incapable of any more concentra-

float, disconnectedly and indifferently,

Run a Walking Stick Farm.

OF the many curious farms that have
been established in our peaceful coun-
tryside, surely walking-stick farm
is the most curious, relates London
Answers.
AS matter of fact, however, there
is at least one such establishment,
flourishing concern, to be found in the
depths of Surrey. Instead Of the corn
fields, pasture land and root crops usu-
ally expected on farm, the walking
stick acres present the appearance Of
long, neat rows Of tiny sapling trees,
some four years old, others younger.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, SO got some and prepared it as
follows: l soaked 1 " tablespoonful
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then / strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and
a little sugar, warmed 1t and gave it
to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such wonderful effect
as this. I can truthfully say I think
1t is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and Is also a
delicious healthful food for grown-ups
as we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the
strong, healthy man or woman. It

Predicament of a Suffraeist.

A well-known university professor
who has taken much interest in the
woman suffrage movement was per-
suaded to carry a banner in a parade
that was held in New York some
months ago.
His wife observed him marching
with a detected air and carrying his
banner SO that it hung Imply on it's
standard, and later she reproved him
for not making better appearance.
why didn't you march like some
body, and let people see your banner?"
she said.
my DEAR" meekly replied the pro-
fessor, did you see what was on the
banner? 1t read, ANY man can vote.
Why can't I?'"

view was like 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 it was not foolish and unen-
lightened. AS in a sudden forward
shoot of search-light, she saw them

had never before had clear look at
it, man and women concentrated up
on the piece of life that belonged to
them, living passionately for each 9TH

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
me-" For a REPRESENTATION
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
wanted and expected.

whispered to herself, that's the way

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 sensation Of deadly depression.
The burning heat Of resentment 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-

fTicno or roe.
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 it like an infusion of a 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 it. Then came more. Rows
Of windows appeared in long, magni-
fed sputters. All round the plaza
there was a suggestion Of effaced
brightness, as of a painting which
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.

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 passer-
by: She was like a person who has
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 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, 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 and silence
held the street, and he could easily
follow her as she walked upward

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 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, she
had so long and 80 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 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 fat 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 1t would
be necessary for him to dress and
leave the house. Berry would IN
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 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 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 80. There was an hour yet
before dinner would be served, and
turning to the servant Dominick told
him to show the gentleman up.

emptorily, "and after that some fri

The waiter moved away and the
man behind the curtain, as II satisfied
by his long survey, also turned back
into the general room. Close to the
opening there was an unoccupied
table, and at this he sat down, laid
his hat on the chair beside him. and

the slightest noise from the inner
room causing him to start and lift
the paper before his face.
He sat thus for some fifteen min
utes. The Spanish women and the
child emerged from the archway and
left the restaurant, and a few moments
later he heard the scraping of chair
legs and Berny's voice as she asked
for her bill. He lifted the paper and
appeared buried in it's contents, not
moving as Berry brushed back the
lace curtain and passed him. Her
eyes absently fell on him and she had
vague impression Of the dark dome
Of head emerging from above the
opened sheets of the journal. AS she
rustled by he lowered the paper and
followed her with a keen, watchful
glance. He did not move till the

his hat and flicked a silver dollar on

who came forward.
The surprised servant, unaccus-
toned to such tips, stared astonished
after him as he hurried down the pas

opened the door and disappeared into
the darkness of the street.
Berry was only a few rods away,
moving forward with slow, lettering
step. 1t was an easy night to follow
