His thoughts were OF his father A
vast, inexplicable longing possessed
his soul-a longing for the affection of
this man who was never tender, who
stood afar off and was lonely, too. He
could not understand this astounding

CHAPTER xIIi-Continued.

Lydia resolved to take the plunge
Now was the time to speak plainly to
this woman of the thing that was hurt
ing her almost beyond the limits of
endurance. Her voice was rather high
pitched. She had the fear that she
would not be able to control it.
II should be blind not to have OBJ
served the cruel position in which you
are placing Frederic. Is it surprising
that your husband has eyes as well as
/? What must be his thoughts. Mrs.
Brood?"
She expected an outburst a torrent
OF Indignation, an angry storm of
words, and was therefore unprepared
for the piteous. hunted expression that
came swiftly into the lovely eyes, bent
so appealingly upon her own, which
were cold and accusing. Here was a
new phase to this extraordinary crea-
lures character. She was a coward.
after all, and Lydia despised a coward.
The look of scorn deepened in her
eyes. and out from her heart rushed
all that was soft and tender in her
nature. leaving it barren of all COM
passion.
Il do not want to hurt Frederic"
murmured Yvonne Il am sorry
If"
You are hurting him dreadfuIly."
said Lydia. suddenly choking up with
emotion
HE is not-not in love with me-"
declared Yvonne.
No." said the girl, regainfng con-
troll of herself. The is not in love with
you. That is the whole trouble. He
Is in love with me. But-can't you

systematically. Il have never believed

prised at herself
DO you consider me to be a bad
woman. Lydia?" Her lips trembled.
There was suspicious CULVER to her
chin.
No. do not" pronounced the girl
fatty IF I could only think that of
you it would explain everything and
] should know just how to treat you
But do not think it of you"
With a long. deep sigh, Yvonne crept
closer and laid her head against Lyd-
las shoulder The girls body stiff
fened. her brow grew dark with an
noyance.
'T am afraid you do not understand,
Mrs Brood The fact still remains
that you have not considered Fred

Brood explained, suddenly fretful-

Yvonne deliberately put her hand
over the girls lips. checking the fierce
outburst- She smiled rather plain
