MRS. BURTOW. .
FB three days the rate bad been
rushing aloof the streets, Barg
ing up over the curbing, growing
each hour more daring end turbu
lent in the ateady uncompromising
fall of rain. Late in the afternoon of
the third day it cleared, leaving the
great wall of the Sierras a deep blue
across from the west where the sun
was setting In a glory of red and gold.
People began venturing ont charily,
and along the wheeltrack, which was
almost immediately dry, one saw an
occasional rider.
. Mrs. Marjorie Burton, standing in
a large window whose draperies of
white under the bright oriental hang
Inge eel off her dark hair to advan
tage, and made her quite worthy the
absorbed and satisfied attention she
was unconsciously receiving from a
corner where came a curl of cigar
smoke, turned around to announce
in evident relief and delight that
they could have their Sunday dinner
party after alL
''"You needn't laugh," she added to
the corner. "It's an exceedingly im
portant event." To which grave
affirmation ahe received a teasing:
"Exceedingly important events are
dangerous things for little women to
try to manage, my dear."-
She did not hear his wisdom, for
ahe waa going over In her mind the
details of her plan. They would drive
in the morning, stopping informally
at the Guirnalda on their way home,
to inquire how the Fosters were feel
ing after their trip overland, and to
learn if the newspaper reports about
the blizzards In the east were true;
then she would tell them how for
tunate they had been in getting a
house, and ask them to dine on Sun
day. Which, of course,' they would
be glad to do. Then she would drop
a pretty little note, on the paper she
had brought from Paris, to Mr. Den
ton, telling him about it, and asking
him to join the little pnrty: which,
also, he would be glad to do. Mrs.
Burton was sure of it. At this point
her mind turned backward to one of
a number of calls, made not too long
ago, when he had complained of the
monotony of hotel-life, with ita cease
lessjround of gaiety, and envied them
audibly their home life.
"I shall t&9 house the next time
I come to California," he said, and
looking up, chancel! to meet eyes over"
which the lids droppe3"gu,ckly before
something 'n his gaze. It then
that the sister, Mrs. Burton. Vf&
voice Just perceptibly more eordiak
said he must drop into dinner with
tana now ana men. .nu iu: r in the
evening, when she found that he knew
the Fosters, who were coming soon
for over Sunday, she said he should
hold himself in readiness for a sum
mon when they arrived. "Now don't
forget 1" she said, as she gave him her
fingers nt parting.
"I couldn't if I would," he replied
cavalierly before he turned to make
a strangely awkward adieu to the
girl whose lids had drooped, and who,
when he had gone, returned to the
parlor and played very rapidly a very
gay little song on the piano which
stood in the shadow. Nobody said
anything, and Phyillis and Mrs. Bur
ton would have stoutly denied having
meant anything by the look of sur
prise in each other's eyes.
"The Fosters have come," an
nounced the husband that evening,
looking up from the list of hotel ar
rivals in the Times. Bis remark met
with no response unless the slightly
petulent "It's cold," from Mrs. Mar-
jorie, crouched down before the tiny
sheet-iron stove, whose pipe ran into
the fireplace behind it, might be ta
ken for a reply. '
I never suffered so with the cold in
my life," she added, giving a disdain
ful glance at the prettily useless fire
place which had been the sole pro
vision for heating the large rooms.
"What should we have done without
that stove? It's worse than Italy."
The husband poked at the fire in a
harmless effort to tactfully monifest
sympathy, rhyillis, laying back com-
loriaoiy in ner Atoms cnair, bands
idly clasped In her lap, glanced at
Ruth, who had started slightly at
her brother-in-law's announcement,
and then remarking the pucker still
lingering in Mrs. Marjorle's forehead
she said in a singularly direct reply
to the stove tirade: "Why don't you
telephone them?" And after con
siderable discussion as to the fitness
of the medium, Mrs. Mar jorie, minus
all traces of pucker and petulence,
absented herself from the room for a
while to act upon the suggestion.
"I had a terrible time," she said
In justifiable hyperbole, when she re
turned. "If money would help the
Pasadena telephoue service, I think
Carnegie's attention should be drawn
to it at once. If it's brnlns ih
lacking well, I hope souio Will ' be
provided soonl But Igot them fi
nally. And tliey'ro coming nil of
them," Rhe added carelessly, - A mo
ment later, to Phyllis:- "I thought
Mr. IX-nton seemed surprised. Ue hes
itated a little lie didn't seem to un
derstand at first. I wonder If ho
thinks we nro not sincere."
rhyillis ;m!lc(l. " "Maybe ho isn't
liiliiBeif," she siiid quietly.
' . - II.
MRS. . BARTON.
Jack Denton stood in tho lobby,
biting the end Of his mustache.
"Mrs. Barton," he thought. "What,
can have come over her? it strikes
xne that this is what you might call
"Well, it must
XSSSS1 1 Humph, ni have aa item of new for
I Sis' letter to-morrow when I write."
Ue strolled down to the stall where
the evening papers and magazines
were kept along with the drawn
work, Indian baskets, cigar and huge
red skins with heada of fierce Indians
burned upon them. ,
"Please, sir, here's poppies! TheyH
open in the morning."
The figure waa little and the vole
full of pleading. Jack bought what
were left in the basket,
"I wonder," he thought, with a sud
den inspiration, "if Mrs. Barton has
had fresh one to-day."
He held them up critically. The
ahiny gold petals were locked tightly
together. "They'll open in the morn
ing, though," the piping little voice
had said, "t suppose Sis would want
me to go half way and more. I be
lieve I'll just call with them."
He walked through the waiting
room and looked out into the clear
evening. The stars were shining,
some men from the hotel strolling
up and down the paths of the park,
and through the palm tree he could
see two ladies muffled in their fur
rapes, on the porch of the Annex.
California dries her tear like a child.
It iscinated him. He took his coat
and hat and started out.
A half hour later Mr. Barton,
lounging listlessly in the room her
aunt had assigned her, was handed
the card of Mr. John Denton. Her
face showed surprise and dismay.
Then instantly her lips curved in a
quick iiile.
"Welijfa good of hlm-at laatl"
she saidginder her breath. "Tell him
I'll be dc.vn soon." She tilted her mir
ror and gave the picture it presented
a quick, critical glnnce, euch a an
artist gives before he puta the finish
ing touches in.
"Five years!" she said, prettily
triumphant. "Well, Mr. Jack, they
haven't hurt me!"
Five years before Sarah Gordon
nod quarreled with Jack Denton, who
people had thought she would marry.
His sister had been involved in it. It
was a foolish little affair, but aince
that time there had been no word
between them. Not that any one of
them wholly wished it so, but no one
was willing to take the first step.
Thus Sarah Gordon Barton, one year
a widow, was not only glad on gen
eral principles to have one of her long
evenings varied, but a bit relieved at
'so suddenl
A moment later!
the prospect of commonplace peace
again.
"I thank you for the dinner Invita
tion," he said. "Fortunately Sunday
is free. You said at two, didn't you?
The telephone waa unusually misty
to-night. And I didn't make out who
yon said is coining also."
Mrs. Barton turned her head, hold
ing the fire-screen ahe had toyed
with where it shadowed her face.
"Fardon me. Jack." aha nlil a. tnn.
fntf "1 !ter sjlH jrf r tie
you saying? Dinner 8unday? Why,
of course at two. And nobody's com
ing but you. That's what I said, aunt
nnd uncle and you and I, Just as it
used to be. Must you go so soon?"
This as she walked across the room
beside him.- Then she held out her
hand again, tipping back her head so
that he looked straight in her face
and down into the deptha of her
great dark eyes, and she said, with a
little laugh: "This is lots better
than the other way, isn't it? I only
wish your sister were here, too."
And while he kept the hand he re
plied: "It Is better, Sarah; why didn't we
do it before?"
Sarah Barton came back to the fire
and sat there storing in it with her
face between her hands.
"What in the world doe it mean?"
she asked. "I thought people said he
la half in love with that girl what
is her name? Ruth something or oth
erand the telephone ?"
She figured at tire problem patient
ly for nearly a minute. Then ahe
gathered her silken skirts about her
nnd went gaily upstairs. "I never
did believe that Providence wanted
anybody to be as bored as I have
been. And thia proves it. Whoever
hns lost nnd whatever Is lost I'm de
cidedly the gainer. Now, to tell
auntie that she's been getting up a
dinner pnrty for next Sunday at two
o'clock."
III.
RUTH.
Mr. Foster, tall, thin, keen-eyed,
rose from the big leather chair In
which he had been comfortably smok
ing, and, -throwing down his cigar
stub grasped the arm of the husband
heartily, saying:
"Well, old mnn, your dinner was tip
top and the cigar even better. But
time's up now."
The husband drew aside the cur
tains which separated his den from
tho larger rooms and they stood for
a moment In the door watching the
picture before them. On the sofa,
Mrs. Foster, mnnll, elegant and nerv
ous, talking rapidly In a rather high
voice, nnd nenr her Mrs. Marjorie,
whom; face was flushed and whose
eyes wandered, making the pretense

tho keys, llvliind her wore windows
through whose tiny diamond panes
the roses uliowed, seeming just now
to be Llouiuliig only for a back
ground for her. She had been sing
ing wonderfully. It had excited her,
perhaps, for her cheeks were full of
color and her eyes strangely bright.
Mr. Foster, Jr., whom Phyllis hod ex
pected to entertain, sat beside the
piano with his chin propped by his
hand. His eyes were bent full upon
her.
"I thank you for this. And may I
come ngaln?"

ktas. ao close that the edge of the Ue
over her shoulder lay against his
sleeve, ah answered: "Coma often,
Mr. Foster; we shall be most glad
If Jrou do."
"It seem to me that Ruth has
changed very much," . remarked Mr.
Foster, aenior, discriminatingly to
Mr. Foster that night. "California
must have Improved her health in
some way or other. I never saw her
so gay and so gracious. She always
seemed to ue rather cold and well,
proud, before."
"Ahem!" replied Mr. Foster' high
voice, "now any of them 'could be
either very gay or very proud in the
face of the alight Jack Denton gave
them passes my understanding. Why,
It wa perfectly evident that they
looked for him up to the last mo
ment. - He's clearly not so nearly in
love with Ruth aa they thought."
"They thought!" judiciously inter
poaed the rebuffed Mr. Foster.
"Why, yea, of course they thought
so. Don't you suppose they could see
what everybody else haa been see
ing?" IV.
THE MAN.
Meanwhile Jack Denton waa feel
ing the world a very habitable place
as he strolled slowly back to Hotel
Green, with warmth, color, the flash
of dark eyes and the sound of a low
voice in laughter etill lingering dell
ciously in his consciousness. He
Smiled slightly at himself for having
so enjoyed her. Looking up Just then
he saw a party of three leave a car
riage and go into the Guirnalda.
"Jovel The Fosters!" he ejaculat
ed, and started to follow them. But
the door closed behind them, and aft
er a moment's hesitation he went on.
ft was too near supper for a call. The
following afternoon he inquired for
them. They had already gone on to
San Francisco.
"Funny," he said testily. "Mrs. Pal
mer'a memory isn't as good as she
asked mine to be. Ah, there's Swint.
I say, Swint, did you see the Foa
tera?" The two men walked down the
stepe together-. No, Swint had not.
He had called on Sunduy, but they
dined out, so he missed them.
"Where did they dine?" demanded
Denton, abruptly,
"Why, I don't know. With the
What's their names? There they
ceroe in that carriage."
The Burton party were In the car
riage. They passed without recogni
tion. Denton gave a low whistle, and
bit his Hp.
"I believe young Foster atays on
for a couple of weeks," added Swint,
looking straight ahead of him in a
kindly ignoring of the evident loose
screw somewhere.
Two weeks later he smiled at hav
ing hit upon that remark aa a pleas
ing one for the delicate sltuatpn.
anee upon 1.1C lady Ruth from the
day of the dinner until he left Pasa
dena. And Mrs. Barton found no re
sistance from Denton to the delicate
net ahe wove for the whlling of her
vacant hours.
V.
PHYLLIS.
Phyllis wrote long letters in which
she told in detail the events of her
every day to a Harvard assistant,
who was some day to be a Harvard
professor, which would mean the be
ginning of the coming true of some
dreams for Phyllis and the professor.
She leaned back In her chair now,
late at night, thinking about it; after
a bit her thoughts turned to this
strange affair of Ruth's, which had
naturally found its place in her pages.
Writing of It hnd pushed her a little
nearer to the point where she felt
that something ought to be done.
It was very still through the house.
Suddenly she started and listened.
Ruth s room wa next to her's. She
got up aoftly and put her ear to the
door. The noise was that of smoth
ered sobbing.
Fhyllls came back to her desk,
pushed aside the thick envelope reso
lutely, and after a moment of fierce
biting at the end of her pen, she took
a sheet of paper and wrote a short
paragraph in which waa stated the
fact that they were to leave for the
East again Monday. She told Mr.
Denton that she would be pleased if
be cared to call before then.
VI.
THE TELEPHONE.
He came on Sunday, stating clearly
that he wished to see Miss Phyllis.
He heard voices in the parlor and de
clined entering. Phyllis came down
stairs with her furs nnd hat on.
"It tempt me out of doors," she
said, "I should hnve gone before if
I had not half expected you."
So they strolled down the street,
turning at Marengo avenue, where
the. wide walk, the low boughs of
the pepper trees with the bright ber
ries and the blossoms they had
learned to love would help her out a
little,- this resolute maiden thought.
"Mr. Denton, perhaps I'm wrong.
If I am, I shall be sorry I did this.
If I'm not I shall be glad. It seems
to me that there must have been a
mistake somewhere. Will you tell
me why you treated Mrs. Burton's
dinner invitation us j-ou did?"
The walk did not need to be a
very long one. Very soon it devel
oped into n somewhat merry one.
And tho little scene in the library
sfterwnrd was also a merry one.
The telephone oneo understood nnd
plven its proper place, proved quite
the good fairy of the tale. To all
that is, but young Foster.
That ended the California chapter.
A Now York year ensued, however.
And w hen, two year later, Jack Den
ton returned to California, he did
take a house, as he had propresicd.
In that house, nlBo, Mrs. Ruth, whose
name ho never confused with Barton
again, did her first house-keeping,
