 "He-he thinks I am in love with you" said he, shaking his head.
 And are you not in love with me?"
 He was startled. Good Lord, Yvonne!"
 She came quite close to him. He could feel the warmth that travelled from her body across the short space that separated them. The intoxicat- ing perfume filled his nostrils; he drew deep breath, his eyes closing slowly as his senses prepared to sue cumb to the delicious spell that came over him. When he opened them an instant later, she was still facing him.

l heard her scathing remark Some times I have felt a queer gripping of the heart when I was harshest toward him. Sometimes his eyes-her eyes have melted the steel that was driven into my heart long ago, his voice and the touch of his hand gently have checked my bitterest thoughts. Are you listening?"
 Yes"
 You ask what I have done to him. It is nothing in comparison to what he would have done to me. It isn't necessary to explain. You know the thing he has had in his heart to do. I have known it from the beginning. It is the treacherous heart of his mother that propels that boys blood along it's craven way. She was an evil thing as evil as God ever put life into"
 "Go on"
 "I loved her as no woman ever was loved before-or since. l thought she loved me-God, believe she did. He Frederic had her portrait up there to fash in my face. She was beautiful she was as lovely as But no more! was not the man She loved another. Her lover was that boys father"
 Dead silence reigned in the room, save for the heavy breathing of the man. Yvonne was as still as death itself. Her hands were clenched against her breast.
 That was years ago." resumed the man, hoarseiy.
 "You-you told him this" she cried, aghast
 He said she must have loathed me as no man was ever loathed before. Then told him."
 You told him because you knew she did not loathe you! And you loved Matilde-God pity your poor soul! For no more than I have done you drove in your heart when you vent your rage on that poor boy Oh, know! You suspect me! And you suspected the other one.

I know God help me, l know, Don't come near mel Not now! I tell you that Frederic is your son. I tell you that Matilde loved no one but you. You drove her out You drove Frederic out And you will drive me out" She stood over him like an accusing angel, her arms extended. He shrank back, glaring.

 She passed swiftly by him as he started toward the door In the hall, which was bright with the sunlight from the upper windows, she turned to face him. To his astonishment, her cheeks were aglow and her eyes bright with eagerness. She seemed almost radiant.
 "Yes; it needs breaking, James," she said, and went up the stairs, leaving him standing there dumfounded Near the top she began to hum a blithe tune. It came down to him distinctly the weird little air that had haunted him for years-Feverelli's!

 He gasped. "As if my heart hasn't already been broken" he groaned.
 Your head has been hurt that's all. There is a vast difference. Are you going out?"
 He looked at her in dull amazement. Slowly he began to pull himself to- gether.
 Yes. I think you should go to him. I-I gave him an hour to--to-"
