Citizens Oppose License

Twenty-four male and female
residents of Townsend supported
the remonstrance filed by the Law
and Order Society against the
granting of a liquor license to
James L. Dickinson for the hotel
in that town. The demonstrants
urged that the sale of liquor in the
town would bring about bad con-
ditions from which the communl-
tv was now free. The Court re-
served it's decision.

CHAPTER XXIIi.
The Joy of June.

The Joy or June.
On a warm morning toward the
middle Of the month of June Frederic
and Lydia sat in the quaint, old-fash-
toned courtyard, in the grateful shade
Of the south wing and almost directly
beneath the balcony OF Yvonne's bou-
doir. He lounged comfortably, yet
weakly, in the invalid's chair that had
been wheeled to the spot by the dog
like Ranjab, and she sat on pile OF
cushions at his feet, her back resting
against the wall. Looking at him. one
would not have thought that he had
passed through the valley Of the
shadow of death and was but new
emerging into the sunshine of secur-
ity. His face was pale from long con-
finement, but there was a healthy glow
to the skin and a clear light in the
eye. For a week or more ne had been
permitted to walk about the house and
into the garden, always leaning on the
arm of his father or the faithful Hin
du. Each succeeding day saw his
strength and vitality increase and each
night he slept with the peace Of a
care-free child.
As for Lydia, she was radiant with
happiness. The long fight was over.
She had gone through the campaign
against death with loyal, unfaltering
courage; there had never been an in
slant when her stanch heart had failed
her; there had been distress but never
despair. If the strain told on her it
did not matter, for she was Of the
fighting kind. Her love was the sus-
tenance on which she throve despite
the beggarly offerings that were laid
before her during those weeks Of fam
inc.
Times there were when a pensiEe
mood brought the touch Of sadness to
her grateful heart She was happy
and Frederic was happy, but what Of
the one who actually had wrought the
miracle? That one alone was IN
happy, unrequited, undefended- There
was no place for her in the new order
of things. When Lydia thought of
her-as she often did-it was with an
indescribable craving in her soul She
longed for the hour to come when
Yvonne Brood would lay aside the
mask of resignation and demand trib-
ute; when the strange defiance that
held all Of them at bay would dis
appear and they could feel that she
no longer regarded them as adverse
ries-
There was no longer & symptom Of
rancor in the heart OF Lydia Desmond
She realized that her sEeetheart's re-
covery was due almost entirely to the
remarkable influence exercised by this
woman at q time when mortal agen-

cried out Come! I want you to hear

There isn't much time to lose, I'm

head. His gaze suddenly rested on
Mrs. Brood's face. She was very erect,
and smile such as he had never seen
before was on her Iips-a smile that
| puzzled and yet inspired him with a
positive, undeniable feeling of encour-
agement!

der" she said quietly. Something
went through his body that warmed it
curiousIy He felt a thrill, as one who
| is seized by a great Overpowering ex-
element.
She preceded them into the hall.
Brood came last. He closed the door

the room that had been his most pri-
vate retreat for years.
He was never to set foot inside its
walls again. In that single glance he
babe farewell to it forever. 1t was a
hated, unlOvely spot. He had spent an
age in it during those bitter morning
! hours, an age of Imprisonment.
On the landing below they came up
on Lydia. She was seated on a win
dow ledge, leaning YEARLY against
the easement. She did not rise as they
approached, but watched them with
steady, smoldering eyes in which there
was no friendliness, no compassion
They were her enemies, they had killed
the thing she loved.
Brood's eyes met hers for an instant
and then fell before the bitter lool
they encountered. His shoulders

tionless figure and followed the doctor

opened and closed an instant later and
he was with his son.
For long time. Lydia's somber, pit
eous gaze hung upon the door through
which he had passed and which was
closed so cruelty against her, the one
who loved him best Of all. At last she
looked away, her attention caught by
queer clicking sound near at hand. She
was surprised to find Yvonne Brood
standing close beside her, her eyes
closed and her fingers telling the beads
that ran through her fingers, her lips
moving in voiceless prayer.
The girl watched her DULY for a few
moments, then with growing fascina-
ton The incomprehensible creature
was prayingi
Lydia believed that Frederic had
shot himself. She put YYonne down as
the real cause of the calamity that had
fallen upon the house. But for her,
James Brood would never have had a
motive for striking the blow that
crushed all desire to live out Of the IN
happy boy. She had made of her hus-
band an unfeeling monster. and now
she prayed She had played with the
emotions of two men and now she
begged to be pardoned for her folly!
An inexplicable desire to laugh at the
plight Of the trifler came over the girl,
but even as she checked it another and
more unaccountable force ordered her
to obey the impulse TO turn once more
to look into the face OF her companion
Yvonne was looking at her. She had
| ceased running the beads and her
hands hung Imply at her side. For a
full minute, perhaps, the two regarded
each other without speaking.
He is not going to die, Lydia" said
Yvonne gravely.
/ The girl started to her feet. DO you
think it is your prayer and not mine
that has reached Gods carr" she cried
| in real amazement.

smile, and then abruptly returned to
her charge. when my sister came

age, but l was not so young that l did

wanted to come to America to kill you.
He did come later on, to plead with
