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 Its end and the fame was
alive and shining with a radiance that
enveloped both OF them.
On this night, however, he passed
her door without knocking. His dark.
handsome face was flushed, and his
teeth were set In sullen anger. With

turned out into the night and told to
go whittier she would nut never to re-
turn to the house she had disgraced.
James Brood heard of her death
when In the heart of China, and he
was a haggard wreck for months
thereafter. He had worshiped this
beautiful Viennese. He could not
wreak vengeance upon a dead woman:
he could not hate a dead woman. He
had always loved her. A few years
after his return to New York he
brought her son back to the house
in lower Fifth avenue and tried, with
bitterness In his soul, to endure the
word father" as It fell from lips to
which the term was almost strange.
The old men, they who sat by the
fire on this wind-swept night and
waited for the youth of twenty-five to
whom the blue missive was addressed,
knew the story of James Brood and
his wife Matilde and they knew that
the former had no love in his heart
for the youth who bore his name.
Their lips we're sealed. Garrulous on
all other subjects, they were as silent
as the grave on this. They, too, we're
constrained to hate the lad. He made
not the slightest pretense Of appreciat-
