he was with his son.
For long time, Lydia's somber, pit

which he had passed and which was
closed so cruelty against her, the one
who loved him best of ALL At last she
looked away, her attention caught by a
queer clicking sound near at hand. She

Lydia believed that Frederic had
shot himself. She put Yvonne down as
the real cause of the calamity that had
fallen upon the house. But for her,
James Brood would never have had a
motive for striking the blow that
crushed all desire to live out of the I'M
happy boy. She had made Of her hus-
band an unfeeling monster, and now
she prayed! She had played with the
emotions Of two men and now she
begged to be pardoned for her folly!
An inexplicable desire to laugh at the
plight of the trifier came over the girl,
but even as she checked 1t another and
more unaccountable force ordered her
re obey the impulse to turn once more
to look into the face of her companion.
Yvo2ne was looking at her She had
ceased running the beads and her
hands hung Imply at her side. For a
full minute, perhaps, the two regarded
each other without speaking.

Yvonne gravely.

head. His gaze suddenly rested on
Mrs. Brood's face. She was very erect,
and smile such as he had never seen

puzzled and yet inspired him with a
positive, undeniable feeling of encour-

went through his body that warmed II
curiously. He felt thrill, as one who

behind him after swift glance about
the room that had been his most pri-

On the landing below they came up

approached, but watched them with
steady, smoldering eyes in which there
was no friendliness, no compassion.
They were her enemies, they had killed
