His face was livid with rage. For

old men, his fingers working spasmod-

to glare into the hail.

Some minutes passed before he could
trust himself to speak. Ugly veins
stood out on his pale temples. as he
paced the floor in front of them. Even

question, in somewhat hushed voice.

in a gesture OF despair. There was
a wall of misery in his voice as he
grated out;
"In the name OF God, why should he
hate me, as he does? What have I
done? Am ! not good son to him?"
"Hush!" implored Mr.. Dawes. nerv-
ously. He'll hear you"

laughed aloud In his recklessness.

couch and buried his face on his arms,
sobbing like little child.
The old men. distressed beyond the
power OF speech. mumbied incoherent
words OF comfort as they slowly edged
out toward the door. They tiptoed
into the hall and neither spoke until
their bedroom door was closed behind
them. Mr.. Dawes even tried 1t to see
that II was safely latched.
The curtains parted and Yvonne
