he was with his son.
For long time, Lydia's somber, Dit.

which he had passed and which was
closed so cruelty against her, the one
who loved him best of all. At last she
looked away. her attention caught by a
queer clicking sound near at hand. She

closed and her fingers telling the beads
that ran through her fingers. her lips

The girl watched her DULY for a few
moments. then with growing fascina-
ton. The incomprehensible creature
was praying!
Lydia believed that Frederic had
shot himself. She put Yvonne down as
the real cause of the calamity that had
fallen upon the house. But for her.
James Brood would never have had a
motive for striking the blow that
crushed all desire to live out of the un-
happy boy. She had made of her hus-
band an unfeeling monster, and now
she prayed! She had played with the
emotions Of two men and now she
begged to be pardoned for her folly!
An inexplicable desire to laugh at the
plight of the trifler came over the girl,
but even as she checked it another and
more unaccountable force ordered her
to obey the impulse to turn once more
TO look into the face of her companion.
Yvonne was looking at her. She had
ceased running the beads and her
hands hung Imply at her side. For a
full minute, perhaps, the two regarded
each other without speaking.

Yvonne gravely.
