She waited an instant, and then
came toward him. He never could
have explained the unaccountable i'm
pulse that forced him to fall back a

were gazing steadily into his, and her
red lips were parted.

He came swiftly into the room from
the hall, and not from his closet The
look of relief Inc Yvonne's eyes was
shortlived- She saw amazement IN
the faces OF the two old men-and

that sprang into his eyes as he saw
the two old men?
Frederic came down from the win
dow, somewhat too swiftly for one who
is moved by shame and contrition, and
faced the group with q weIl-assumed
look of modification in his pale,
twitching face. He spoke in low, re-
pressed tones, but not once did he
permit his gaze to encounter that Of
his father.
I'm awfully sorry to have made a

seen the muscles OF his jaw harden
as he uttered the final sentence. He
intended that his father should take
it as a threat, not as an apology.
Brood was watching him closely, a
puzzled expression in his eyes; gradu-
ally it developed into something like
admiration. In the cIamor of voices
that ensued the older man detected
the presence of an underlying note of
censure for his own behavior. For the
first time in many years he expert
enced a feeling of shame.

CHAPTER Viii.
"He Killed a Woman"


His face was livid with rage. For
a moment he glowered upon the two
old men. his fingers working spasmod-
ically, his chest heaving with the vol
oanic emotions he was trying so hard
10 subdue. Then he whirled about,
to glare into the hail.
In Gods name, Freddy, boy, what's
happened?" cried old Mr. Riggs, all
a-tremble.
Some minutes passed before he could
trust himself to speak. Ugly veins
stood out on his pale temples, as he
paced the floor in front of them. Even
tually Mr.. Dawes ventured the vital
question, in a somewhat hushed voice
Have you-quarreled with your IA
Eher. Freddy?''
The young man threw up his arms
in a gesture of despair. There was
a wall of misery in his voice as he
grated out:
I'm the name of God. why should he
hate me as he does? What have l
done? Am I not a good son to him ?''
''Hush!" fmplored Mr.. Dawes, nerv-
ousIy. He'll hear you"
Hear mel" cried Frederic, and
laughed aloud in his recklessness.
why shouldn't he hear me? By
God, I'll not stand it a day longer. He
wouldn't think of treating a dog as
he treats me. God, Il, why, he is
actually forcing me to hate him. !
do hate him! 1 swear to heaven, it
was in my heart to kill him down
there just now. L" He could not
go on. He choked up and the tears
rushed to his eyes. Abruptly turning
away, he threw himself upon the
couch and buried his face on his arms
sobbing like little child.
The old men. distressed beyond the
power Of speech, mumbled incoherent
words OF comfort as they slowly edged
out toward the door. They tiptbeC
