Her hair made a wild brush round her ria

tenets be possessd. Deep I her th
eart she had a slight, amused con- the
tempt for It, a contempt that had e- on
tended to other things. She had felt tic
it for him in those early days of their e
lmarrage when he had looked forward n
to children and wanted to live quietly, ye
without society, in his own home. It in
grew stronger later when she realised It
be had accepted his exclusion from th
his world and was too proud to ask tu
his mother for money. fa
And now! Suppose he had gone J
back to his peopleT A low ejaculation li
eseaped her, and she dropped the cur- t
tan and pressed her beand clenched a
to the hardness of a stone, againstl I
her breast.
The mere thought of such a thing hi
was intolerable. She did not see how h:
she could support the idea of his C
mother and sister winning him from en
her. She hated them. They were the b
ones who had wronged her, who had UI
excluded hel from the home and the a
riches and the position that her mar
riage should have given her. Her re
taliation had been her unwavering '
grip on Dominick and the careful die- &
cretion with which she had comport
ed herself as his wife. There was no
ground of complaint against her. She
had been as quiet, home-keeping and '
dutiful a woman as any In California. n
She had been a good housekeeper. a
skillful manager of her husband's
small means. It was only within the
last year that she had, in angry spite,
run into the debts with which she had
taunted him. No wife could have
lived more rigorously up to the letter
of her marriage contract. It was easy
for her to do It. She was not a wom
an whom light living and license at
tracted. She had sacrificed her honor
to win Dominick, grudgingly, unwil
lingly, as close-fisted men part with
money In the hope of rich returns.
She did not want to be his mistress,
but she knew of no other means by
which she could reach tde position of
his wife.
Now suppose he had gone back to
his people! It was an insupportable,.
a maddening thought. It plunged her
into agitation that made her rise and
move about the room with an aimless
restlessness, like some soft-footed to
line animal. Suppose he had gone
home and told them about last night.
and they had prevailed upon him not
to come backL
Well, even if they had, hers was
still the strong position. The sympathy
of the disinterested outsider would
Salways be with her. If she had been
quarrelsome and ugly, those were
small matters. In the great essentials
she had not failed. Suppose she and
the Ryans ever did come to an open
crossing of swords, would not her
story be the story of the two? The
world's sympathy would certainly not
go to the rich women, trampling on
the poor little typewriter, the honest
working girl, who for one slip, righted
by subsequent marriage, had been the
object of their implacable antagonism
and persecution.
She said this opposite the mirror,
extending her bhands as she had seen
an aetress do In a recent play. As
she saw her pointed, pale face, her
expression of worry gave way to one
of pleased complacence. She looked
pathetic, and her position was pa
ls thetic. Who would have the heart to l
Scondemn her when they saw her and
heard her side of the story? HeI spin

three, she and Bernice having boa
the offspring of Danay Iverson's see
and alliance with a woman of roman
tic tendencies, which had no way of
expressing themselves except in the
naming of her children. Hasel, while
yet in her teens, had married a clerk
in a Jewelry store, called Josh McCrae.
It had been a happy marriage. After
the birth of a daughter, Hazel had re
turned to her work as saleslady in a
fashionable millinery. Both sisters,
Josh, and the child, had continued to
live together in domestic harmony, in
the house which Hannah. with the
savings of a quarter of a century, had
finally cleared of all mortgages and
now owned. No household could
have been more simply decent and
honest; no family more unaspiringly
content. In such an environment Ber
nice, with her daring ambitions and
bold unscrupulousness, was like that
unaccounted-for blossom which in the
floral world is known as a "sport."
But it did not appear that she re
garded herself as such. With the ex
ception of a year spent in Los An
geles and Chicago she had been a
member of the household from her
childhood till the day of her marriage.
The year of absence had been the re
suit of a sudden revolt against the
monotony of life and surroundings, an
upwelling of the restless ambitions
that preyed upon her. A good position
had been offered her in Los Angeles
and she had accepted it with eager
ness, thankful for the opportunity to
see the world, and break away, so she
said, from the tameness of her situas
tion. the narrowness of her circle.
The spirit of adventure carried her
farther afield, and she penetrated as
far across the continent as Chicago,
where she was employed in one of the
most prosperous business houses, earn
ing a large salary. But. like many
Californians, homesickness seized her.
and before the year was out she was
back, inveighing against the eastern
manners, character, and climate, and
glad to shake down again into the
family nest. Her sisters were satis
fied with her account of her wander
ings, not knowing that Bernice was as
much of an adept at telling half a
story, as she was at taking down a I
dictation in typewriting. She was too I
clever to be found out in a lie; they I
were altogether too simple to suspect
her apparent frankness.
After the excursion she remained at
home until her marriage. Her liaison
with Dominick was conducted with
the utmost secrecy. Her sisters had
not a suspicion of it. knew nothing
but that the young man was attentive
to her, till she told them of her ap
proaching marriage. This took place
in the parlor of Hannah's house, and
the amazed sisters, bewildered by Ber
ny's glories, had waited to see her
burst into the inner glories of fashion
Sand wealth with a tiara of diamonds
on her head and ropes of pearls about
Sher throat That no tiara was forth
coming, no pearls graced her bridal
parure, and no Ryan ever crossed the
threshold of her door, seemed to the
loyal Hannah and Hauel the most
u unmerited and inexplicable injustice
that had ever come within their ex
Sperence.
It took Bernice some time to dress.
a- for she attached the greatest lapor
ao tanoe to all matters of personal adorn
ad ment, and the lunch hour was at hand
r when she alighted from the Hyde
m Street car and walked toward the
Shouse. It was on one of those streets
of which cross Hyde ear the slope of
g Russian Hill, and are devoted to the
s habitats of small, thrifty householders.
A staring, bright cleanllnem is the
d prevailing characteristic of the neigh
t borbood, the cement sidewalks always
swept, the houses standing back in
d tiny squares of garden, clipped and
v- trimmed to a precise shortneas of
ad grass and straightness of border. The

the corners, as though the room were Joe
too remote and sacred even to sug- ha'

intercourse. A curious, musty smell zel,
hung in the air. It recalled the past spc

in the bay-window, tinder a wedding
bell of white roses. The musty smell vit
brought it all back, even her sense of Ilo
almost breathless elation, when the yo
seal was set on her darlng schemes.
From beyond the folding doors a ble
sound, at conversation and smittena a
crockery arose, also a strong odor of ne
cooking. The family were already at re
lunch, sad opening the door Berny Inn
entered in upon the midday meal as
which was being partaken of by her at
two sisters, Josh, and Hasel's daugh- w
ter, Pearl, a pretty child of eight.
Neither of her sisters resembled her w
in the least. Hannah was a woman *
who looked more than her age, with th
l a large, calm face, and gentle, near- ge
sighted eyes which blinked at the o
world behind a pair of steel-rimmed e
glasses. Her quarter-entury of school
teaching had not dried or stiffened s
t her. She was taller of the milk of d
human kindness, of the ideals and ae- m
i thesiasms of youth, than either of t
her sisters. All the love of her kindly, n
r maternal nature was given to Pesut,
r whom she was bringing up carefully p
I to be what seemed to Hannah bestn ,
f woman.
SHasel was very pretty and still
e young. She had the fresh, even bloom
of a Califoralan woman, a round. e
graceful tgure, and glossy brown hair. tl
rippled and arranged in an elaborate
coiffure as though done by a hair a
dresser. She could do this erself as o
she could make h' own clothes, earn t<
a fair salary at the milliner's, and
sing to the guitar is a small, piping t
voles. Her husband was ravished by t
her good looks and acompllshments,
and thought her the most wonderful
woman in the world. He was a thin.,
tall, young man with stooping fihol
des, a long, lessan neck, and an aml
able, Ilnsgallaet ace. But bhe
seemed to please Hasl, who had mar.
ried him when she was ninetee, be
ing bhanted by the nightmare thought
that If she did not take what chances
offered, she might beome an old maid
ike Hannah.
BDusy sat down anet to the chld,
consdops that under the pleasant
friedliness of their gtpetings a vi
lent urlsity as to whether she bud i

Berny's cheeks, under the taint be

as she thought of Dominick's humll- is
ating quest for the invitation that If
was refused. l,
"Oh, no." she said hurriedly. "It is
wasn't sent, that's all. Mrs. Ryan is
'on't have me In the house. That's tv
the fact and there's no use trying to .
get around it. Well, she can do with- n
_out me. I seem able to support my d4
existence without her." It
Her tone and manner, marked by a ti
sort of hard bravado, did not deceive r
her sisters, who had that extreme 1
naivete in expressing their intimate h
feelings which is peculiar to Califore I
nians. They loohed at her with com- 01 o
miserating sympathy, not quite com- t
prehending her attitude of independ
eace, but feeling sorry for her. what- t
ever pose she adopted. C
I "And your dress," said Hasel, "what
will you do with that? When will you t
ever wear it--a regular ball dress like
that?"
"Oh, II1 wear It," said Berny with
an air of having quantities of social
opportunities not known by her sis
tern. "It won't be a loss."
"You could put a gaimpe in and
have sleeves to the elbow and wear it
to the theater. With a white hat with
Iplumes it would be a dead swell coo
tume. And if you met any of the Ry
ans they'd see you were holding up
your end of the line and not quite
ready yet to go to the tlmahouse."
Hannah shook her bead.
