Her husband broke in upon these
unwelcome reflections. His voice was
curiously harsh.

She drew herself up. Are you in
such great haste, Mrs. Desmond?" she
asked in a voice that cut like a knife.

leap into his eyes. Instantly her AFRO

Her eyes were sparkling, her husky
voice once more full of the appealing
quality that could not be denied. The
flush Of injured pride faded from Mrs.
Desmond's brow, and a faint look of
surprise crept into her eyes. To her
further amazement, the younger wom-
an laid a hand upon her arm and gave
it a gentle. friendly pressure.
The men watched them in silence as
they left the room, side by side. A
moment later they heard the soft
laughter Of the two women as they
mounted the stairs together.
Frederic drew a long breath.

and threw open the door.
James Brood, a tall, distinguished.
looking man of fifty. stepped out of
the limousine, For an instant, before
turning to assist his wife from the car.
he allowed his keen eyes to sweep the
windows on the lower floor. In one
of them stood his son, holding the lace
curtains apart and smiling a welcome
that seemed sincere. He waved his
hand to the man on the sidewalk.
Brood responded with a swift, almost
perfunctory gesture and then held out
his hand to the woman who was de-
scending.
Frederic's intense gaze was fixed
on the stranger who was coming into
his life. At a word from Brood, she
glanced up at the window. The smile
still fingered on the young mans lips,
but his eyes were charged with an
expression of acute wonder. He had
never looked upon a more beautiful
creature in all his life. A kind of stu.
pefaction held him motionless until he
heard the door close behind them; in
the brief interval, however, a picture
had been impressed upon his senses
that was to last forever.
She was slightly above the medium
height, slender and graceful even in
the long, thick coat that enveloped
her. She did not wear a veil. He had
a swift but enduring glimpse of a Gu.
riously pallid, perfectly modelled face;
of jet black hair; of a firm. sensitive
chin. Somehow he received the X.

He followed her dejectedly, a per
Ceptible droop to his shoulders.
Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Riggs were seat
ed at the table. Lydia, a trifle palt
and distract, was pouring out theil
third cup OF coffee. The old mel
showed no sign Of their midnight ex

behind their chairs on his way tC

did nearly every day of his life In a

the presence Of young men who pre-
ferred music as 1t is rendered for the
masses, played as If his very soul was

manhood. The father was taller by a
couple of inches than the son, and yet
Frederic was nearly six feet In his
stockings. Both were spare men,
erect and gracefully proportioned.
Brood gave out the impression of
great strength, Of steel sinews, of in
vincible power; Frederic did not sug-
gest physical strength, and yet he was
a cl~ean-limbed, well-built fellow. He
had a fine head, a slim body whose
every movement proclaimed nervous
energy, and a face that denoted tenn
permanent of the most pronounced
character. 1t was not a strong face.
nor was 1t weak; it represented char
acter without force.
On the other hand, James Brood's
lean, handsome face was full of
power, His gray eyes were keen,
steady, compelling and seldom alight
with warmth. His jaw was firm.
square, r%esolute, and the lines that
sank heavily into the flesh in his
cheeks we're put there not by age but
by the very vigor Of manhood. His
hair was quite gray.
Frederic waited for his father to
speak. But James Brood had moth.
ing to say. she is very attractive,
father" said the young man at last,
almost wistfully. He did not realize
it, but he was cropping for sympathy.
Brood had been in the house for a
quarter of an hour, after an absence
of nearly a year, yet his greeting had
been cold, casual, matter-of-fact. Fred
eric expected little more than that;
still he felt in a vague way that now,
If never again, the ice of reserve
might be broken between them II
only for a moment. He was ready and
willing to do his part.

something that might have escaped

Now, at the end Of the rather often

head slightly. although one could not
have been sure.
"And as charming as she is attrac-

flush OF the enthusiasm he suppressed
WHO is she?" asked his son, with
out realizing the bluntness of his
eager question.
"Who Is she?" repeated his father,
raising his eyebrows slightly. "She
is Mrs. James Brood"

Brood suddenly laughed. a quiet
laugh that had some trace of humor
and a touch of conjunction in 1t. II

had brought to the eyes of Matilde's

AGED MAN FELL
2O-FT TO DEATH

Clayton Smith, 70 years of age,
and resident of Lambertville but a
week, met his death Monday morn
ing by jumping or falling from a
second story window at his home on
Franklin street, between Bridge and
Lilly streets. His body was found
about 5 o'clock by William Werts,
an ice man, and was still warm, ly-
ing in the yard in front of the high
porch on the west side of the house.
Coroner Bumster was called and de-
cided that death was accidental.
Mr.. Smith, who came to this city
from Point Pleasant, Pa, about a
week ago, had not been well, his
mind being affected. That evening
the family had trouble keeping him
in bed, and it is thought he evaded
vigilance early in the morning, and
climbing out onto the porch roof,
either jumped or fell some twenty
feet to the ground.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 2.30 o'clock at his late resi-
dence, with Rev. George Boddis,
Phi. D., pastor of the First Baptist
in charge. Interment will
be in Riverview under the direction
of Horner.
Mr.. Smith is survived by daugh-
ter, Mrs. Anna McQueary, of Gran
by, Colorado, and a sister, Mrs.

SCHOOLHOUSE
IN BIG PARADE

Lambertville will be decorated as
never before, and probably the
largest gathering in Lambertville's
history will be the Flag Day cele-
bration here on Saturday, June II.
So far as now known, all the bust
ness places and practically all the
residences along the line of march
Will be decorated, besides many
others in more remote parts of the
city.
The Newtown (Pa.) w. C. T. U.
will have a float representing the
Angel of Peace" in line, and it
will be driven by Uncle Sam"
Those who have seen the plans for
it say that it will be one the most
attractive things of the day.
The Loyal Order of Moose, of
this city, have decided to attend
with a generous representation,
and possibly a float in line.
A meeting of the general and
special committees will be held on
Thursday evening, under the direc-
ton of Chairman VanCamp, when
final arrangements will be made,
and the line of parade determined.
Chairman Russell P. VanCamp,
announces the appointment OF Rev.
George Boddis, Phi. D., S. T. d.,
pastor of the First Baptist church;
Rev. Theron Lee, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church; Rev.
Pennington Corson, pastor of Cen
tenary M. E. church, and Rev. H.
w. Armstrong, rector of st. An
,drew's church, this city, and Rev.
Herbert A. Sawyer, pastor OF the
New Hope M. E. church, to the
reception committee in addition to
those already named.
Ringoes will send a delegation,
and their float will consist of little
red schoolhouse with an open bible
in it. The several lodges of that
village will combine in their efforts,
and other features will be added.
