He saw the heads of perspiration on his brow and heard the whine come from his voice. Then in the end he sharply changed his tactics. ' “See here, Watts, you’ve got a wrong impression of this affair.

A fierce new jealousy was growing in his heart. It was gradually dawning upon him that the Cables had alienated his son's af- fections to no small degree.

Bansemer‘s man informed him upon his arrival home that Mr. Graydon would not be in for dinner. He had left word that Mrs. Cable was very much improved and that he and Miss Cable were going out for a long drive â€"-in a hansom. it was his intention to dine with Mr. and Miss Cable very in- formally. new ones were minus the explosive power.

The whole situa- tion had rushed upon him like an ava- lanche. Harbert had filed his charges. and the hasty visit of the reporter proved that David Cable was an in- strument in them.

I want my son!” He shouted the demand in thetaceotthesmrfledservantashe pnshedrudelypasthim. Bansemer saw that he was a young man and an eager one. “I think it is."
