CHAPTER xIII-(continued.)

Yet, to Berry, this hectic prospect
Hooked gray; all color seemed sucked
from it 1t appeared pale and alien.
its comfortable intimacy gone. She
was like stranger walking in
strange place, a forlorn, remote land,
where she felt miserable and home
sick. The sense of being dazed was
passing from her. Walking forward
with short, careful steps, she was
slowly coming to the meaning Of her
'discovery-adjusting herself to 1t,
realizing Its significance. She had an
uncomfortable sensation of not being
able to control the muscles round her
mouth, so that If spoken to she would
have had difficulty in answering, and
would have been quite unable to
smile.
An open carriage passed her, and
she drew aside, then mechanically
looked after 1t as it rolled forward.
There was a single figure in it-a
woman. Berny could ace her head over
the lowered hood, and the little para
sol she held, white with a black lace
cover and having Joint in the handle.
Her eyes followed this receding head,
moving so evenly against the back
ground of trees. 1t scared along with
out sinking or rising, with the even,
forward flight of a bird, passed Han
nah and Josh and Hazel, turning to
drop on them quick looks, which
seemed, from its elevated position and
the shortness of the inspection, to
have something of disdain in them.
AS the carriage drew near Dominick,
who walked at the head of the line
with Pearl by the hand, Berny saw the
head move, lean forward, and then, as
the vehicle overhauled and passed
the young man, turn at right angles
and bow to him. The wheel almost
brushed his shoulder. He drew back
from it with start and lifted his hat.
Hazel, who was walking just in front
of Berry. turned and projecting her
lips SO that they stood out from her
face in red circle. Kissed through
them:
"Old Lady Ryan," and then in a
slightly louder key:
You take hatchet and I'll take a
saw,
And well cut off the head of my
mother-in-law."

the brow marked by a frown, the
child's gay prattle causing no respon-
sIve smile to break the brooding gray
ity that held his features.
AS he felt the vibration of the wheel
at his shoulder he started aside and
looked up. When he recognized his
mother his face reddened, and. with a
quick smile, he lifted his hat. Her
returning salute was serious, almost
tragically somber. Then the victoria
swept on, and he and the child. neither
for a moment speaking, looked after

parasol held stifly erect on its jointed

CHAPTER XIII.
The Root of All Evil.

The conversation with her old friend
had upset Mrs. Ryan. These were
grievances she did not talk of to all
the world, and the luxury of such
plain speaking was paid for by a re-
awakened smart. The numb ache of
a sorrow was always with her, but her
consciousness of 1t was dulled in the
diversion of every days occupations.
Bringing 1t to the surface this way
gave 1t a new vitality, and when the
conversation was over and the visitor
gone 1t refused to subside into its old
place.
She went slowly up stairs, hearing
the low murmur of voices from the
eitting-room where Cornelia and Jack
Duffy were still secluded. Even the
thought of that satisfactorily-bu
romance did not cheer her as 1t had
done earlier in the day. AS she had
told Cannon, she was not the woman
she had been, Old age was coming on
her and with It softening of her iron
nature. She wanted her son, her Ben
jamin, dearly beloved with all the
forces of her maturity as his father
had been with all the glow of her
youth.
In her own room she threw aside
the lace curtains, and looking out on
the splendor of the afternoon, deter
mined to seek cheer in the opeL air.
Like all Californians she had be-
lief in the healing benefcence If air
and sunlight. AS the sun had soothed
Berry OF her sense of care so dow 1t
wooed her enemy also to seek solace
IN Its balm. She rang for the serv.
.ant and ordered the carriage. A few
minutes later. clad in rich enshrouding
black. she slowly made her way down
stairs and out to the sidewalk where

He did not come into the den i'm

steadily along the passageway.

She sat on the divan, paper spread
before her face, but her eyes were
slanted sidewise, unblinking In the alb
sorption OF her attention. Suddenly
she heard rattling sound which she
knew to be from the canes and UNI
brellas in the hat-rack. She cast
away the paper, and, drawing herself
to the edge of the divan, peered down
the passage. Dominick was standing

balustrade.
He thought she was going and
clutched the iron spikes of the fence,
calling up TO her in a voice of urgent
feeling, curiously out of keeping with
the words, the first remark that came
into his head:
This is very different from Ante

1t seemed to Dominick just then
that he could not lose her. She must
stay a moment longer. Urgency that
was imploring was in his voice as
he said
Don't go! don't go! Stay Just one
moment longer! Can't you come
down and talk for minute?"
She listened, wavered, and was won
over. Without answer she turned
from the shadow Of the porch into the
light on the top Of the steps. and
from there slowly descended, her
skirt gathered in one hand, and the
other touching the balaster.

ingly steady after a week Of bull oper-
traders. them arket made a moderate net
advance: they had put out short cotton
on the idea that week end liquidation Of
long contracts would cause at least a
moderate set back.
The advance was all the more sur
prising because il was made in the face
of the most favorable weather map Of the
week, while the forecast promised fair
weather for Sunday over the entire cotton
region. Reports from the belt were more
encouraging than otherwise. Except for
u slight decline around the first call,
bearish news had no influence OF prices. :.
The opening was steady, unchanged to
two points down, compared with thee lose

due. but they were offset by the favorable
weatbes returns and bearish crop accounts
and q little short selling from short sell
