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. 1t had seemed to
him that he could never be anything
but an old man.
1t was his custom, on coming home
for the night, no matter what the hour
may have been, to pause before Lyd-
las 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

stopped. A pang of shame shot
through him. For a moment he hest

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.

silence, she intently, he with astonish'

a 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 pc
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
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
its cruel hardships. His home became
theirs. They were to die there when
the time came.
Broods son was fifteen years OF age
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
in the methods of James Brood in so
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
instinct to hurt her to the limit Of his
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

James Brood heard Of her death
