dear, how wet you are! A hot drink
for both of you"
Would you mind asking Jones to
send over something for me to wear
in the morning" said Frederic, grin
ming as he stood forth in his evening
clothes.
Ten minutes later, as he sat with
them before an open fire and slipped

he cried: Il say, this is great"
Lydia was suddenly shy and embar-
raised.
Good night" she whispered. Her
fingers brushed his cheek lightly. He
drew her down to him and kissed her
passionately.
Goodnight, my Lyddy!" he said,
softly, his cheek flushing.
She went quickly from the room.
Later he stood in her sweet, dainty
little bedroom and looked about him
with a feeling of mingled awe and
wonder. All of her intimate, exquisite
! belongings. the Sanctitied treasures OF
her most secret domain were about
him. He wandered He fingered the

Suddenly he dropped to his knees
and buried his hot face in the cool
white sheets, and kissed them over and
over again. Here was sanctuary! His
eyes were wet with tears when he
arose to his feet. and his arms went
out to the closed door.
MY Lyddy!" he whispered chok
ingly.

Back there in the rose-hued light OF
James Brood's study, Yvonne cringed
and shook in the strong arms of hel
husband all through that savage
storm. She was no longer the def
ant, seli.possessed creature he had
come to know so well, but shrinking
trembling child, stripped Of all bel
bravado, all her arrogance, all bel
seeming guile. A pathetic whimpel
crooned from her lips in response t
his gentle words Of reinsurance. Sh,

And he? He was looking backward
to another who had nestled close t
him and whimpered as she was dom
now-another who had lived in terro
when it stormed.

CHAPTER XII.
A Tempest Races,

Yvonne stopped in the doorway
Ranjab was holding the curtains aside
for her to enter. The tall figure OF
Frederic doomed up behind her, his
dark face glowing in the warm light
that came from the room. She had
changed her dress for an exquisite
orchid cOlored tea-gown of chiffon un-
der the rarest and most delicate of
lace. For an instant her gaze rested
on Lydia and then went questioningly
to Brood's face. The girls confusion
had not escaped her notice. Her hus.
bands manner was but little less con.
victing. Her eyes narrowed.
"Ranjab said you were expecting
u.s." she said slowly. She came for
ward haltingly, as IL in doubt as to
her welcome. "Are we interrupting?"
"Of course not" said Brood, flush
Of annoyance on his cheek. Lydia is
tired. ! sent Raniab down to ask
Frederic to"
Frederic interrupted, a trihe too
eagerly. "1'll walk around with you,
Lydia. It's raining, however. Shall I
get the car out, father"
mo, mol" cried Lydia, painfully con-
scious Of the rather awkward situa-
ton. And please don't bother, Freddy.
/ can go home alone. It's only a STEP"
She moved toward the door, eager to
be away.
"Pll go with YOU" said Frederic de-
cisively. He stood between her and
the door, an embarrassed smile on his
lips. 1--WE got something to say to you,
Lydia" he went on, lowering his
voice.
James, DEAR" said Mrs. Brood,
shaking her finger at her husband and
with an exasperating smile on her
lips, you are working the poor girl
too hard. See how late it is! And
how nervous she Is. Why, you are
trembling, Lydia! For shame, James"
The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1915-05-28
CHAPTER X-Continued.

And now, Mr.. Brood, may ask why
you have always intended to tell me
this dreadful thing?" she demanded
her eyes cleaning with a fierce, accus.
ing light.
He stared "Doesn't-doesn't it pu.
a different light on your estimate of
him? Doesn't 1t convince you that he
is not worthy Of"
mo! A thousand times not" she
cried. II love him. If he were to ask
me to be his wife tonight l would re-
joice-oh, / would rejoice! Someone
is coming. Let me say this to you, Mr..
Brood: You have brought Frederic
up as butcher fattens the calves and
swine he prepares for slaughter. You
are waiting for the hour to come
when you can kin his very soul with
the weapon you have held over him
for so long, waiting. waiting, waiting!
In Gods name, what has he done that
you should want to strike him down
after all these years? 1t Is in my. heart
to curse you, but somehow / feel that
you are curse to yourself. l will not
say that cannot understand how you
feel about everything. You have SUI

The man listened without. the slight
est change of expression. The lines
seemed deeper about his eyes, that
was all. But the eyes were bright
and as hard as the steel they resem.
bled.
"You would marry him."
Eyes, yes!"

How dare you say that. Mr..
Brood?"
Because" said he levelly, "he
thinks he Is my son." Voices were
heard on the stairs, Frederic's and
Yvonne's. HE is coming now, my
DEAR" he went on and then, after
pause fraught with significance, land
my wife is with him.
Lydia closed her eyes as If in dire
pain. A dry sob was In her throat.
A strange thing happened to Brood,
the man of iron. Tears suddenly
rushed to his eyes.
