CHAPTER XVI.
"To My Own sweetheart.r y

When James Brood and Frederic left the dining-room nearly an hour prior to the departure of Mrs. Des- mond, there was in the mind of each the resolution to make short work of the coming interview. Each knew that the time had arrived for the parting of the ways, and neither had the least desire to prolong the suspense.
 The study door was closed. James Brood put his hand on the knob, but, before turning it. faced the young man with an odd mixture of anger and pity in his eyes.
 Perhaps it would be better if we had nothing more to say to each oth- er," he said, with an effort T have changed my mind I cannot say the thing to you that r."
 Has it got anything to do with Yvonne and me?" demanded Frederic ruthlessly, jumping at conclusions in his new-found arrogance.
 Brood threw open the door Step inside he said in a voice that should have warned the younger man. it was so prophetic of disaster. Frederic had touched the open sore with that unhappy question. Not until this in stant had James Brood admitted to himself that there was a sore and that it had been fostering all these weeks. Now it was laid bare and smarted with pain Nothing could save Frederic after that reckless, deliberate thrust at the very core of the malignant growth that lay so near the surface
 It had been in James Brood's heart to spare the boy,
 Hot words were on Frederic's lips.

Stopping abruptly in front of the other woman, she exclaimed: He made a great mistake in driving that other woman out. He is not likely to repeat it. Mrs. Desmond"
 ''Yes-I think he did make a mis- take" said Mrs. Desmond. calmly. But he does not think so. He is a man of iron. He is unbending."
 He is a wonderful mana great. splendid man." cried Yvonne, fercely It is I-Yvonne Lestrange-who pro- claim it to the world. I cannot bear to see him suffer. r."
 Then why do you"
 Mrs. Brood flushed to the roots of her hair. T do not want to appear unfair to my husband, but I declare to you, Mrs. Desmond, that Frederic is fully justified in the attitude he has taken this morning. His father hu- initiated him last night in a manner that made forbearance impossible That much I must say for Frederic. And permit me to add. from my soul. that he is vastly more sinned against than shining"
 T can readily believe that. Mrs. Brood"
 This morning Frederic came into the breakfast room while we were hay ing coffee You look surprised. Yes, I was having breakfast with my hus- band l knew that Frederic would come. That was my reason. When heard him in the hall I sent the serv- ants out of the dining-room. He had spent the night with a friend His first words on entering the room were these-I shall never forget them: Last night l thought I loved you, father but have come home just to tell you that l hate you. I can't stay in this house another day. I'm going to get out. But just wanted you to know that I thought I loved you last night, as a son should love father. l just wanted you to know it. He did not even look at me. Mrs. Desmond I don't believe he knew I was there I shall never forget the look in James Brood's face. It was as if he saw a ghost or some horrible thing that fas- cinated him. He did not utter a word but stared at Frederic in that terrible. awestruck way. I'm going to get out, said Frederic, his voice rising. You've treated me like dog all my life and I'm through. sha'n't even say good by to you. You don't deserve any mora consideration from me than I've

 Where did you get that photo graph?" demanded Brood hoarsely. Where, 1 ~ayl What damned, inter- fering fool"
 T wouldn't be too nasty, if l were you" said Frederic, a note Of triumph in his voice "Yvonne gave 1t to me. made her promise to say nothing to you about it. She"
 "Yvonne found it? Yvonne? And gave it to you? What trick of fate is this? But-ah, it may not be DOT trait of your-your mother. Some old photograph"
 No, it is my mother Yvonne saw the resemblance at once and brought it to me. And it may interest you to know that she advised me to treasure it all my life because it would always tell me how lovely and sweet my moth- CT was-the mother have never seen"
 T insist on seeing that picture" said Brood, with deadly intensity
 No" said Frederic, folding bis arms tightly across his breast You didn't deserve her then and you"

 "Ah. don't I? We'll. I've got just a lit tie bit of my mother safe here over my heart-a little faded card. that's all and you shall not rob me of that. Last night I was sorry for you. had the feeling that somehow you have al ways been unhappy over something that happened in the past that my mother was responsible for.

 A spasm of alarm crossed YYonnes face Do you really believe it will come to that?" she demanded, nerv- ously
 'If what fear should come to pass, he will not stay in this house another hour. He will go forth from it, curs- ing James Brood with all the hatred that his soul can possess. And now, Mrs. Brood, shall I tell you what I think of you?"
 No, 1t isn't at all necessary. Be- sides, I've changed my mind. I'd like you to remain. l do not want to mys- tify you any further, Mrs. Desmond. but now confess to you that l am losing my courage. Don't ask me to tell you why but"
 T suppose it is the custom with those who play with fire. They shrink when it burns them"
 Mrs. Brood looked at her steadily for long time without speaking. The rebellious, sullen expression died out of her eyes. She sighed deeply, almost despairingly.
 T am sorry you think ill of me, yet I cannot blame you for considering me to be a--a-Ill not say it. Mrs. Des- mond, I-I wish I had never come to this house"
 Permit me to echo your words"
 You will never be able to under stand me And, after all, why should I care? You are nothing to me. You are merely a good woman who has no real object in life. You"
 No real object in life?"
 Precisely. Sit down. We will wait here together. if you please. I-T am worried. think I rather like to feel that you are here with me. You see, the crisis has come"

I'm sick of calling you father You did me an honor downstairs by calling me bastard You had no right to call me that, but, by heaven, if 1t were not for this bit of cardboard here over my heart, I'd laugh in your face and be happy to shout from the housetops that l am no son of yours.

CHAPTER xv.
A Mother tntervenes.

Long past midnight the telephone In the Desmond apartment rang sharp ly, insistently. Lydia, who had just fallen asleep, awoke with a start and sat bolt upright in her bed. A clammy precipitation broke out all over her body. She knew there had been catastrophe.
 She sat there chattering until she heard her mothers door open and then the click of the receiver as it was lifted from the hook. Then she put her fingers to her ears and closed her eyes. The very worst had happened, she was sure of it. The blow had fallen. The only thought that scared her brain was that she had failed him, failed him miserably in the crisis. Oh, If she could only reclaim that lost hour of indecision and eowardice!
 The light in the hallway suddenly smote her in the face and she realized for the first time that her eyes were tightly closed as if to shut out some abhorrent sight
 Lydia!' Her mother was standing In the open door "Oh, you are awake? ?" Mrs. Desmond stared in amazement at the girls figure.
 What is it. mother? Tell me what has happened? Is he"
 He wants to speak to you. He is on the wire. I-I- His voice sounds very queer"
 The girl sprang out of bed and hur- ried to the telephone.
 Don't go away, mother-stay here," she cried as she sped past the white clad figure in the doorway. Mrs. Des- mond fiattened herself against the wall and remained there as motionless as a statue, her somber gaze fixed on her daughters face
 "Yes, Frederic-it is Lydia What is it, dear?" Her voice was high and thin.
 His voice came jerking over the wire, sharp and querulous. She closed her eyes in anticipation of the blow. her body rigid.
 I'm sorry to disturb you," he was saying, but I just had to call you up." The words were disjointed, as if he forced them from his lips one by one in supreme effort at coher- ency.
 Yes, yes-it's all right. don't mind. You did right. What is it?"
 T want you to release me from my promise"
 You mean-the promise-but, Fred dy, can't release you. I love you. will be your wife, no matter what has happened, no natter"
 "Oh, Lord, Lyddy-it isn't that! It's the other-the promise to say nothing to my father"
 "O-oh!" she sighed weakly, vast wave of relief almost suffocating her.
 "He has made it impossible for me to go on without"
 Where are you, Frederic?" she cried, in sudden alarm
 "Oh, I'm all right. l shant go home, you may be sure of that. Tomorrow will be time enough"
 Where are you? I must know How can reach you by telephone"
 Don't be frightened. dear. It's got to be, that's all It might as we'll be ended now as later on. The last straw was laid on tonight. Now, don't ask questions. I'll see you in the morning Goodnight, sweetheart. Pve-Ive told you that I can't stick to my promise. You'll understand. couldn't rest un- til I'd told you and heard your dear voice Forgive me for calling you up. Tell your mother I'm sorry. Good night!"
 Freddy, listen to me! You must wait until I-Oh!" He had hung up the receiver. She heard the whir of the open wire.

Business Men
Up In Arms

Unless the streets of Tonopah
which were coated with something
called tarvia and then the stuff con-
cealed by shoveling dust on it, are
restored to a semblance of their con-
dition before the tarvia was applied
by sweeping and then sprinkling, a
committee of business men and tax
payers will call upon the commits
sioners at their next sitting.
1t promises to be a rather interest
ing meeting, for the business men
will express in no uncertain language
their di~sapprobation of the act of the
board, which resulted in the running
of the streets and caused great dam
age and Inconvenience from dust.
Subsequent action will then probably
take the form of either the recall or
refusal to pay city licenses, something
that a number of Tonopah business
men have already resolved upon

DIPPING TO DESTROY TICKS
Shepherd Of Wisconsin Experiment
Station Recommends Sheep Be
Treated Soon After Shearing.

Surprising as II may seem. there
are some sheep owners who do not
seem to realize the importance OF dip
ping their flocks."
Frank Kleinheinz shepherd OF the
Wisconsin experiment station focks,
ever mindful OF Wisconsin's sheep
raising possibilities. was urging farm
ers TO give their flocks the care neces-
sary for them to do well on the SD
perior pastures generally provided for
them.
sheep which have gone through
the winter infected with ticks have
certainly suffered day and night from
the constant annoyance caused them
by these pests" he continued. Much
OF the food given the flock went for
the support oi the ticks.
After the flock has been sheared.
nearly all OF the ticks leave the old
sheep and crawl on to the lambs
where they have more comfortable
shelter and younger and fresher blood
to suck.
"As the ticks become mora numeIs
Gus the lambs become thinner and
the farmers prospective profits soon
fade"
Mr.. Kleinheinz recommend that
both sheep and lambs be dipped as soon
as possible after shearlng. He has
found that It promotes their health.
insures better gains. and prepares
them to go on the market in the pink
OF condition. ready TO command the
highest prices.
Any of the good coal tar dips now
on the market II properly used are
satisfactory tick destroyers.
