Would you mind asking Jones to

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 feeling of mingled awe and
wonder. All of her intimate, exquisite
belongings, the sanctified treasures of
her most secret domain were about
him. He wandered. He fingered the
articles on her dressing table; smelled
of the perfume bottles and smiled as
he recognized the sweet odors as be-
ing a part of her, and not a thing unto
themselves; grinned delightedly at his
own photograph in its silver frame
that stood where she could see 1t the
last thing at night and the first thing
in the morning; caressed-ay, caressed
the little hand mirror that had re-
flected her gay or troubled face so
many times since the dear Christmas
day when he had given it to her with
his love. He stood beside her bed
where she had stood, and the soft rug
seemed to respond to the delightful
tingling that ran through his bare
feet. Her room! Her bedl Her do

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 her
husband all through that savage
storm. She was no longer the def
ant, self-possessed creature he had
come to know so well, but shrinking,
trembling child, stripped of all her
bravado, all her arrogance. all her
seeming guile. A pathetic whimper
crooned from her lips in response to
his gentle words of reinsurance. She
was afraid-desperately afraid-and
she crept close to him in her fear.
And he? He was looking backward
to another who had nestled close to
him and whimpered as she was doing
now-another who had lived in terror
when it stormed.

Frederic opened his eyes at the
sound of gentle, persistent tapping
on the bedroom door. Resting on his
elbow, he looked blankly. wonderingly
about the room and-remembered II
was broad daylight. The knocking
continued. He dreamed on, his blink
ing eyes still seeking out the dainty,
Lydialike treasures in the enchanted
room.
Frederic! Get up! It's nine
O'Clock. Or will you have your break
fast in bed, sir?" 1t was Lydia who
spoke, assuming a fine Irish brogue in
imitation of their little maid of all
work
'Ill have to, unless my clothes have
come over!"
They are here. Now, do hurry"
He sprang out of bed and bounded
across the room. She passed the gar

door,
He was artistic, temperamental.
Such as he have not the capacity for
haste when there is the slightest op-
portunity to dream and dawdle. He
was full quarter of an hour taking
his tub and another was consumed in
getting into his clothes. He sailed
forth in gNat haste at nine-thirty-five
and was extremely proud of himself,
although unshayed.
His first act, after warmly greeting
Mrs. Desmond, was to sit down at the
piano. Hurriedly he played few
