For his father. them" she inquired
slowly.
The perspiration stood out on his
brow. He made no response. His lips
were compressed.
You have uttered her name at last"
she said wOnderingly. after a long
wait.
Brood started. "I-I-Oh. this is
tortured"

will come when she is dead in every
sense of the word. In the meantime.
l am content to enjoy life. Frederic
is quite safe with me, James; safer
than he is with you. And now let US
have peace. Will you ring for tea?"
He sat down abruptly, staring at her
with heavy eyes. She waited for mo-
ment, and then crossed over to pull
the old-fashioned bell-cord.
I'VE will ask Lydia and Frederic to
join us, too" she said. 1T shall be a
family party, the five of u.s."
"Five?" he muttered.
"Yes." she said. without a smile.
Are you forgetting Matilde?"

Then why do you still love herr"
Are you mad?" he gasped. Good
God, woman, how can you ask that
question of me, knowing that l love
you with all my heart and soul?
How"
with all your heart, yes! But with
your soul? No! That other woman
has your soul. have heard your soul
speak and it speaks of her-yes, to
her! Night after night, in your sleep.
James Brood, you have cried out to
'Matilde.' You have sobbed out your
love for her, as you have been doing
for twenty years or more. In your
sleep, your soul has been with her.
With me at your side, you have cried
to 'Matilde!' You have passed your
hand over my face and murmured Ma
tilde!' Not once have you uttered the
word 'Yvonne!' And now, you come
to me and say: We will come straight
to the point!' Well, now you may come
straight to the point But do not for

He was petrifed. Not a drop of

Corn showed heaviness in sympathy
with wheat and as a result of the
lack of any urgent cash demand.
Besides, Illinois reports told of good
