CHAPTER XIII.
The Joy Of June.

On a warm morning toward the
middle of the month of June Frederic
and Lydia sat in the quaint, old-fash-
toned courtyard, in the grateful shade
of the south wing and almost directly
beneath the balcony off Yvonne's bou-
doir. He lounged comfortably, yet
weakly, in the invalid's chair that had
been wheeled to the spot by the dog
like Ranjab, and she sat on pile OF
cushions at his feet, her back resting
against the wall. Looking at him, one
would not have thought that he had
passed through the valley OF the
shadow of death and was but nc"
emerging into the sunshine OF secur-
ity, His face was pale from long con-
finement. but there was healthy glow
TO the skin and clear light in the
eve. For a week or more he had been
permitted to walk about the house and
into the garden, always leaning on the
arm of his father or the faithful Hin
du, Each succeeding day saw his
strength and vitality increase and eacn
night he slept with the peace OF
care-free child,
As for Lydia. she was radiant with
happiness. The long fight was over.
She had gone through the campaign
against death with loyal, unfaiterlng
courage; there had never been an IN
slant when her stanch heart had failed
her. there had been distress but never
despair, If the strain told on her 1t
did not matter, for she was OF the
fighting kind. Her love was the sus-
tenance on which she throve despite
the beggarly offerings that were iala
before her during those weeks Of fam
inc.
Times there were when a pensive
mood brought the touch OF sadness TO
her grateful heart. She was happy
and Frederic was happy, but what OF
the one who actually had wrought the
n;racle9 That one alone was I'M
bappy, unrequited, undefended. There
was no place for her in the new order
Of things. When Lydia thought OF
ber-as she often did-it was with an
indescribable craving in her soul. she
longed for the hour to come when
yvonne Brood would lay aside the
mask of resignation and demand trlD-
uto, when the strange defiance that
hold all of them at bay would dis
annear and they could feel that she
M longer regarded them as adversa'
ries. -.
There was no longer a symptom or
rancor In the heart of Lydia Desmond.
She realized that her sweetheart's re-
covery was due almost entirely to the
remarkable influence exercised by this
woman at a time when mortal agen-
cies appeared to be of no avail. Her
absolute certainty that she had the
