CHAPTER XIV.
Sensations.

Lydia stopped for a moment in the
hall, after closing the door behind her,
to pull herself together for the ordeal
that was still to come. She was
trembling; weakness had assailed
her She had left Yvonne's presence
In dazed, unsettled condition Of
mind. There was a lapse of some kind
that she could neither account for nor
describe even to herself. The black
velvet coat that formed a part of her
trig suit, hung Imply in her hand,
dragging along the floor as she moved
with hesitating steps in the direction
of James Brood's study. A sickening
estimate Of her own strength Of pur-
pose confronted her. She was sud
denly afraid of the man who had
always been her friend. Somehow
she felt that he would turn upon her
and rend her, this man who had al
ways been so gentle and considerable
and who had killed thingsl
Ranjsb appeared at the head of the
stairs. She waited for his signal to
ascend. somehow feeling that Brood
had sent him forth to summon her
Her hand sought the stair rail and
gripped 1t tightly Her lips parted in
a stiff smile. Now she knew that she
was turning coward. that she longed
to put OF the meeting until tomor-
row-tomorrow!
The Hindu came down the stairs
quickly, noiselessly.
"The master say to come tomorrow,
tomorrow as usual" he said, as he
paused above her on the steps.
TIT must be today" she said, dog
gedly, even as the thrill of relief shot
through her.
Tomorrow" said the man. His eyes
were kindly inquiring. "Sahib say you
are to rest" There was a pause. ITO
morrow will not be too late"
She started. Had he read the thought
that was in her mind?
Thank you, Ranjab," she said, after

It would be difficult To describe the
feelings OF Lydia Desmond as she sat
there with the despised though to be

For long time Lydia stared
straight before her, seeing nothing,
positively dumb with wonder and ac.

her own disposition to submit to this
extraordinary situation. She was ask
ing herself why she did not cast the
woman away, why she lacked the

come to him that II he met them in

supper in one OF the nearby restau-
rants. The idea pleased him. He
coddled II until II became sensation.
When James Brood and his wife
reached the sidewalk they found him
there, directly in their path. as they
wedged their way to the curb to await
the automobile. He was smiling
frankly, wistfully. There was an hon
est gladness in his fine, boyish face
and an eager light in his eyes. He no
longer had the sense of guilt In his
soul. It had been passing qualm,
and he felt regenerated for having ex-
perlenced it, even so briefly Some.
how 1t had purged his soul Of the one
lingering doubt as to the sincerity OF
his impulses.
"Hello!" he said. planting himself
squarely in front of them.
There was a momentary tableau He
was vlvidly aware of the fact that
Yvonne had shrunk back In alarm. and
that a swift look of fear leaped into
her surprised eyes. She drew closer
to Brood's side-or was 1t the jostling
of the crowd that made II seem to be
SO? He realized then that she had not
seen him In the theater. Her surprise
was genuine. 1t was not much short
OF CONSERVATION, fact that he re-
allied with a sudden sinking OF the
heart.
Then his eyes went quickly to his
fathers face. James Brood was re.
garding him with a cold, significant
smile, as one who understands and
despises.

lined up with others who were content
to stand at the back to witness the
play. Inside the theater he leaned
weakly against the railing at the back
of the auditorium and wiped his brow.
What was II that had dragged him
there against his will, in direct oppo.
sition to his dogged determination to
shun the place?
The curtain was up. the house was
still, save for the occasional coughing
of those who succumb to habit that

place three glasses.
Later on Frederic made his an.
nouncement to the old men. In the
fever Of an excitement that caused
him to forget that Lydia might be en-.
titled to some voice in the matter, he
deliberately committed her to the prof
ect that had become a fixed thing in
his mind the instant he set foot In

ed eXhilaration died as suddenly as 1t
had come into existence. A shadow

with his thoughts. A sense OF utter
loneliness came over him with a swift
ness that sickened, nauseated him. The
food was fiat to his taste; he could

His thoughts we're of his father. A
vast, inexplicable longing possessed
his soul-a longing for the affection OF
this man who was never tender, who
stood afar of and was lonely, too. He
could not understand this astounding
change Of feeling. He had never felt
Just this way before. There had been
