time. As for Lydia, pretty little Lydia, he adored her His heart be- gan for the first time to sing with the joy of youth, and the sensation was a novel one. It had seemed to him that he could never be anything but an old man.
 It was his custom, on coming home for the night, no matter what the hour may have been, to pause before Lyd- ia's door on the way to his own room at the other end of the long hall. Usually, however, he was at home long before her bedtime, and they spent the evenings together. That she was his fathers secretary was of no moment. To him she was Lydia-his Lydia.
 For the past three months or more he had been privileged to hold her close in his arms and to kiss her good night at parting! They were lovers now The slow fuse of passion had reached it's end and the flame was alive and shining with radiance that enVelOped DOtn or them.
 On this night, however. he passed her door without knocking. His dark. handsome face was flushed, and his teeth were set in sullen anger. With his hand on the knob of his own door, he suddenly remembered that he had failed Lydia for the first time, and stopped. A pang of shame shot through him. For a moment he hesi- tated and then started guiltily toward the forgotten door Even as he raised his hand to sound the loving signal. the door was opened and Lydia, fully dressed, confronted him. For a mo- ment they regarded each other in silence, she intently, he with astonish- ment not quite free from confusion.
 ''Tm-Im sorry, dearest" he be- gan, his first desire being to account for his oversight.
 Tell me what has happened? It can't be that your father is ill-or in danger. You are angry, Frederic; so it cant be that. What is it?"
 He looked away sullenly. "Oh, it's really nothing, I suppose. Just an un- expected jolt, that's all. I was angry for a moment"
 You are still angry" she said, lay. ing her hand on his arm. She was a

tall, slender girl Her eyes were almost on level with his own Don't you want to tell me, dear?"
 He never gives me thought" he said, compressing his lips. He thinks of no one but himself God, what 3 father!"
 Freddy, dear You must not speak"
 Haven't I some claim to bis con- sideration? Is it fair that I should be ignored in everything, in every way? I won't put up with it, Lydia! I'm not child. I'm man and am his son. Cad, might as well be a dog in the street for all the thought he gives to me"
 She put her finger to her lips. a scared look stealing into her dark eyes. Jones was conducting the two old men to their room on the floor below A door closed softly. The voices died away.
 He is strange man." she said. "He is a good man, Frederic
 "To everyone else. yes. But to me? Why, Lydia, I-I believe he hates me. You know what"
 Hush! A man does not hate his son. I've tried for years to drive that silly notion out of your mind. You"
 "Oh, l know I'm fool to speak of it. but I-I cant help feeling as I do You've seen enough to know that I'm not to blame for it either. What do you think he has done? Can you guess what he has done to all of us?" you just what he said in that wireless. It was from the Lusitania, twelve hun dred miles off Sandy Hook-relayed, I suppose, so that the whole world might know-sent at four this after noon. I remember every word of the cursed thing, although I merely glanced at it. Send the car to meet Mrs. Brood and me at the Cunard pier Thursday. Have Mrs. Desmond put the house in order for it's new mis- tress. By the way. you might inform her that I was married last Wednes- day in Paris It was signed James Brood not even father What do you think of that for thunderbolt? ?"
 "Married?" she gasped. Your fa- ther married?"

narrow ledge upon which he lay un- conscious after a misstep in the night. More than once-aye, more than a dozen times-one or the other of these loyal friends stood between him and death and times without numbers he, too, turned the grim reaper aside for them.
 John Desmond, gay, handsome and still young as men of his kind go, met the fate that brooks no intervention. He was the first to drop out of the ranks. In Cairo, during a curious pe- riod of inactivity some ten months after the advent of James Brood, he met the woman who conquered his ven- turesome spirit-a slim, calm, pretty English governess in the employ of a British admirals family. They were married inside of six months. He took her home to the little Maryland town that had not seen him in years.
 Ten years passed before James Brood put his foot on the soil of his native land. Then he came back to the home of his fathers, to the home that had been desecrated, and with him came the two old men who now sat in his huge library before the cracking fire. He could go on with life. but they were no longer fit for it's cruel hardships. His home became theirs. They were to die there when the time came
 Rrnndic of yo before he knew, even by sight. the man whom he called father. Up to the time of the death of his mother, in ,the home of her fathers, he had been kept in seclusion.
 There had been deliberate purpose far as this unhappy child was con- cerned. When he cast out the mother he set his hand heavily upon her fu- ture. Fearing-even feeling-the in- fernal certainty that this child was not his own. he planned with machiavellian powers and to the end of her days. He knew she would hunger for this baby boy of hers, that her heart could be broken through him, that her pun ishment could be made full and com. plete. He sequestered the child in a place where he could not be found, and went his own way, grimly certain that he was making her pay! She died when Frederic was eight years old, without having seen him again after that dreadful hour when, protest

ing her innocence, she had been turned out into the night and told to go whither she would but never to re- turn to the house she had disgraced
 James Brood heard of her death when in the heart of China, and he was a haggard wreck for months thereafter He had worshiped this beautiful Viennese. He could not wreak vengeance upon dead woman; he could not hate dead woman. He had always loved her. A few years after his return to New York he brought her son back to the house in lower Fifth avenue and tried, with bitterness in his soul, to endure the word father" as it fell from lips to which the term was almost strange.
 The old men, they who sat by the fire on this wind-swept night and waited for the youth of twenty-two to whom the blue missive was addressed, knew the story of James Brood and his wife Matilde and they knew that the former had no love in his heart for the youth who bore his name. Their lips were sealed Garrulous on all other subjects, they were as silent as the grave on this. They. too, were constrained to hate the lad. He made not the slightest pretense of appreciat- ing their position in the household; to him they were pensioners, no more, no less; to him their deeds of valor were offset by the deeds of his father; fhor Ioff far hoI
 ance on that score. He was politely considerate; he was even kindly dis posed toward their vagaries and
