CHAPTER VI.
The Spreadind Glow.

Yvonne Lestrange, in a way, had
been born to purple and fine linen. She
had never known deprivation of any
description. Neither money, position
nor love had been denied her during
the few years in which her charm and
beauty had flashed across the great
European capitals, penetrating even to
the recesses of royal courts. It is
doubtful if James Brood knew very
much concerning her family when he
proposed marriage to her, but it is GER
tain that he did not care. He first saw
her at the home of a British nobleman,
but did not meet her. Something in
the vivid, brilliant face of the woman
made a deep and lasting impression
on him. There was an instant when
their eyes met through an opening m
the throng which separated them. He
was not only conscious of the fact that
he was staring at her, but that she
was looking at him in a curiously pene-
trating way. There was a mocking
smile on her lips at the time. He saw
it fade away, even as the crowd came
between. He knew that the smile had
not been intended for him, but for
some of the eager cavaliers who sur
rounded her, and yet there was some
thing singularly direct in the look she
gave him.
That single glance in the dukes
house proved to be a fateful one for
both. They were married inside of a
month. The virile, confident American
had conquered where countless sup
plants of a more or less noble char
acter had gone down to defeat
He asked but one question of her,
she asked none of him. The fact that
she was the intimate friend and asso-
ciate of the woman in whose home he
met her. was sufficient proof of her
standing in society, although that
would have counted for little so far as
Brood was concerned.
She was the daughter of a baron;
she had spent much of her life in
Paris, coming from st Petersburg
when a young girl; and she was an
orphan with an independent fortune of
her own. Such common details as
these came to Brood in the natural
way and were not derived from any ef-
fort on his part to secure information
concerning Mademoiselle Lestrange.
Like the burnt child, he asked a quss-
ton which harked back to an unfor-
gotten pain.

CHAPTER V.
Husband and Wife.

The ensuing fortnight brought the
expected changes in the household.
James Brood, to the surprise Of not
only himself but others, lapsed into a
curious state of adolescence. His in
fatuation was complete. The once
dominant influence Of the man seemed
to stink away from him as the passing
days brought up the new problems of
life. Where he had lived to command
he now was content to serve. His
friends, his son, his servants viewed
the transformation with wonder, not
to say apprehension.
II would not be true to say that the
remarkable personality of the man
had suffered. lie was still the man Of
steel, but retempered. The rigid
broad.sword was made over into the
fine flexible blade of Toledo. He could
be bent but not broken.

mes commands. Not that they were
arduous or peremptory; on the CON
trary. they were suggestions in which
his own comfort and pleasure appeared
to be the inspiration. She was too
wise to demand, too clever to resort to
cajolery. She was a Latin. Diplo-
macy was hers as birthright. Com
plants, appeals, sulks would have
gained nothing from James Brood Nor
would 1t have occurred to her to en-
poy these methods From the day she
entered the house she was its mis-.
tress.
There were no false notions of senti-
ment to restrain or restrict her in the
rearrangement OF her household. She
went about the matter calmly, SEN
sibly. firmly; even the most prejudiced
could not but feel the justice of her
decisions. Tho serene way in which
she both achieved and accepted con-
quest proved one thing above all 9th.
ers: She was born to rule.
To begin with. she miraculously
transferred the sleeping quarters of
Messrs. Dawes and RIGGS from the
second floor front to the third floor
back without arousing the slightest
sign of antagonism on the part of the
crusty old gentlemen. who had occu-
pied one of the choice rooms in the
house with uninterrupted security for
a matter of nine or ten years. Mrs.
Brood explained the situation to them
so graciously, so convincingly, that
they even assisted the servants in
moving their heterogeneous belong
ings to the small, remote room on the
third floor. and applauded her plan 10

And why not, may ask"

"Poof!" she exclaimed, dismissing
the obstacle with a wave of her slim
hand. "A cigarette, please. There is
