SYNOPSIS.

In the New York home Of James Brood
Dawes and Riggs, his two old pensioners
and comrades, await the coming OF
Brood's son Frederic to learn the contents
OF a wireless from Brood, but Frederic,
after reading, throws 1t into the fire and
leaves the room without word. Frederic
tells Lydia Desmond, his fiancee, that the
message announces his fathers marriage
and orders the house prepared for an i'm
mediate Homecoming. Mrs. Desmond the
housekeeper and Lydia's mother. tries to
cool Frederlc's temper at the impending
changes. Brood and his bride arrive. She
wins Frederic's liking at first meeting.
Brood shows dislike and yelled hostility to
his son. Lydia and Mrs. Brood meet in
the Jade-room, where Lydia works as
Broods Secretary. The room. dominated
by great gold Buddha, Brood's father
confessor. Is furnished in oriental mag
niflcence. Mrs Brood, after a talk with
Lydia, which leaves the latter puzzled, Is
disturbed by the appearance OF Ran1ab,
the Hindu servant OF Brood. Mrs. Brood
makes changes in the household and
gains her husbands consent to send Mrs.
Desmond and Lydia away. She tries to
Iathom the mystery Of Brood's separation
from his first wife, and his dislike Of his
son, but fails.

went on. ~
Mother wouldn't like me to smoke,
said Lydia, rather bluntly.
A faint frown appeared on Frederic g
brow, only to disappear with Yvonne's
low, infectious laugh.

smoke, either, ai-e?" she said.
"He may have changed his mind re-

glance at the girls half-averted face.

however, and would have passed unno-

was, as usual, watching her face with
rapt interest. He caught the curious
transition and involuntarily glanced
below.
The heavy curtains in the window
of his fathers retreat were drawn
apart and the dark face of Ranjab the
Hindu was plainly distinguishable. He
was looking up at the window in which
Mrs. Brood was sitting. Although
Frederic was far above, he could see
the cleaning white of the mans eyes.
The curtains fell quickly together and
the gaunt brown face was gone.
