 He lifted his head quickly, and then sprang to his feet. His eyes were wet and his lips were drawn. Shame pos sessed him. He tried to smile, but il was pitiful failure.
 "Oh, I'm so ashamed of-of-" he began. in a choked voice.

 She turned away, walking slowly toward the door. He remained rooted

into his ear that caused him to lool at her in utter amaZement. It was SC astounding that he could not believe he heard alright. He mumbled in g questioning tone, "I beg your pardon ? and she repeated her remark.
 How wonderfully like you Frederic is, MT. Brood. Then she added: "DC you know, I've never noticed it until tonight. It's really remarkable.
 "It is a most gratifying discovery, said he, and turned to speak to Mrs. Desmond. He did not take his gaze from Frederic's white, set face, how. ever! and, despite the fact that he knew the girl had uttered an idle com monplace, he was annoyed to find himself studying the features of Ma tides boy with an interest that seemed almost Imaginable when he con. sidered it later on.
 His guests found much to talk about in the room. He was soon being dragged from one object to another and ordered to reveal the history, the use and the nature of countless things that obviously were intended to be just what they seemed; such as rugs, shields, lamps, and so forth. He was ably assisted by Messrs. Riggs and Dawes, who lied prodigiously in a frenzy of rivalry.
 What perfectly delightful Bud- aha, cried Miss Janey, stopping in Af hn iIA1 lovely he is-or is it a she, MT. Brood?"
 Frederic joined Lydia at the table. "A delicious scene, wasn't it?" he asked, bitterly. in lowered tones.
 Her fingers touched his. What did he mean, Freddy? Oh, I felt so sorry for you. It was dreadful
 Don't take it so seriously. Lyddy. " he said, squeezing her hand gently Both of them realized that it was the nearest thing to a caress that had passed between them in a fortnight or longer. A wave of shame swept through him. Dear old girl my dear old girl" he whispered brokenly.
 Her eyes radiated joy, her lips part ed in a wan, tremulous smile of sur prise, and a soft sigh escaped them.
 My dear, dear boy" she murmured, and was happier than she had been in weeks.
 See here. old chap" said one of the middle-aged gentlemen, again consult ing his watch as he loudly addressed his host, cant you hurry this per formance of yours along bit? It is after ten. you know"
 q will summon the magician" said Brood. Be prepared. ladies and gen. tlemen, to meet the devil. Ranjab is the prince of darkness"
 He lifted his hand to strike the gong that stood near the edge of the table.
 Involuntarily four pairs of eyes fas- tened their gaze upon the door to the Hindus closet. Three mellow, softly reverberating blooms" filled the room. Almost instantly the voice of the Hin du was heard.
 Alice, sahib!"

 Before heaven. Yvonne, I do love her That's what cannot understand about myself" He was pacing the floor.
 But I understand" she said, qui- etly. Now go away, please. And don't let me hear another word about leaving your fathers house. You are not to take that step until I command you to go. Do you understand"
 He stared at her in utter bewilder- ment for a moment, and slowly nodded his head. Then he turned toward the door, shamed and humiliated beyond words
 As he went swiftly down the stairs his father came out upon the landing above and leaned over the railing to watch his descent. A moment later Brood was knocking at Yvonne's door. He did not wait for an invitation to enter, but strode into the room with out ceremony.
 She was standing at the window that opened out upon the little stone balcony, and had turned swiftly at the sound of the rapping. Surprise gave way to an expression of displeas- ure
 What has Frederic been saying to you?" demanded her husband curtly. after he had closed the door.
 A faint sheer came to her lips. Nothing, my dear James, that you would care to know" she said smol- dering anger in her eyes.
 You mean something that shouldn't know" he grated.
 Are you forgetting yourself. James," coldly.
 He stared at her incredulously. Good Lord! Are you trying to tell me what shall do or say"
 She came up to him slowly. James. we must both be careful We must not quarrel" Her hands grasped the lapel of his long lounging robe. There was an appealing look in her eyes that checked the harsh words even as they rose to his lips. He found himself looking into those dark eyes with the same curious wonder in his own that had become so common of late. Time and again he had been puzzled by something he saw in their liquid depths, something he could not fathom, no matter how deeply he probed.
 What is there about you, Yvonne, | that hurts me-yes, actually hurts me when you look at me as you're look ing now?" he cried, almost roughly. There is something in your eyes there are times when you seem to be looking at me through eyes that are not your own. It's-it's quite un- canny. If you"

CHAPTER VIl-Continued.

Then, before their startled, horror struck eyes, the Hindu coolly plunged the glittering blade into his breast, driving it in to the hilt!
 Good Lord!" shouted the two old men,
 Ranjab serenely replaced the sword in it's scabbard
 "It is not always the knife that finds the heart" said he, so slowly, so full of meaning, that even the old men grasped the significance of the cryptic remark.
 how closely he watches" said Mr. Dawes, and he was not referring to the amazing sword trick.
 NO, sir" said MT. Riggs, with gloomy irrelevance, T don't like that woman"
 The old spell of the Orient had fallen upon the aneients. They were hearing the vague whisperings of voices that came from nowhere, as they had heard them years ago in the mystic silences of the East.
 "Sh! One comes," said Ranjab, softly. Tt will be the masters son."
 An instant later his closet door closed noiselessly behind him and the old men were alone, blinking at each other. There was no sound from the hall. They waited, watching the cur tained door. At last they heard foot steps on the stairs, quick footsteps of the young.
 Frederick strode rapidly into the room.
