CHAPTER III.
The Bride.


Frederic fatty refused to meet the
steamer wnen she docked. AS II
swayed by his decision, Dawes and
Riggs likewise abandoned a plan to
greet the returning master and his
bride as they came down the gang
plank. But for the almost peremp-
tory counsel OF Mrs. Desmond. Brood's
son would have absented himself from
the house on the day Of their arrival.
Jones and footman went to the pier
with the chauffeur.
II was half-past two in the after
noon when the automobile drew up
in front OF the house and the fur
coated footman nimbly hoped down
and threw open the door.
James Brood. tall. distinguished
looking man Of fifty. stepped out Of
the limousine. For an instant. before
turning to assist his wife from the car.
he allowed his keen eyes to sweep the
windows on the lower floor. In one
OF them stood his son, holding the lace
curtains apart and smiling a welcome
that seemed sincere. He waved his
hand to the man on the sidewalk.
Brood responded with swift, almost
perfunctory gesture and then held out
his hand to the woman who was de-
scending.
Frederics intense gaze was fixed
on the stranger who was coming into
his life. At word from Brood, she
glanced up at the window. The smile
still fingered on the young mans lips.

expression OF acute wonder. He had

erect and gracefully proportioned.
Brood gave out the impression OF
great strength, of steel sinews. OF IN
vincible power; Frederic did not sug-
gest physical strength. and yet he was
a clean-limbed, well-built fellow. He
had fine head. slim body whose

hair was quite gray.
