men, wan smile straying from one
to the other, exhausted by her sup

this manly, strong hearted young fell

She looked long into his eyes, search
ing for trace of the maleyolence that
glowed in those of his father. They
were fair and honest and sweet, and
she smiled to herself. She wondered
what his mother had been like.

She looked up at her husband, and he

trembled, and her eyes grew wide with
repugnance as they turned again upon
Graydon Bansemer. Both men drew
