Had he read the though: that was in her mind? a stiff smile. Now she knew that she was turning coward, that she longed to put off the meeting until tomor- rowâ€"tomorrow ! Sensations. Lydia stopped for a moment in the hall, after closing the door behind her. to pull herself together for the ordeal that was still to come. She was trembling; a weakness had assailed her. She had left Yvonne's presence in a dazed, unsettled condition of mind. There was a lapse of some kind. that she could neither account for nor describe even to herself. The black velvet coat that formed a part of her trig suit, hung limply in her hand. dragging along the floor as she moved with hesitating steps in the direction of James Brood‘s study. A sickening estimate of her own strength of pur- pose confronted her. She was sud: denly afraid of the man who had always been her friend. Somehow she felt that he would turn upon her and rend her, this man who had al- ways been so gentle and considerateâ€" and who had killed things! Ranjab appeared at the head of the stairs. She waited for his signal to ascend, somehow feeling that Brood had sent him forth to summon her. Her hand sought. the stair rail and gripped it tightly. Her lips parted in The Hindu came down the stairs quickly, noiselessly. When he entered the house that evening he was full of resentment toward his father, and sullen with the remains of an ugly rage. And now to be actually craving the affection of the man who humbled him, even in the presence of servants! It was unbe- lievable. He could not understand himself. A wonderful, compelling ten- derness filled his heart. He longed to throw himself; at his father's feet and crave his pardon for the harsh, venge- ful thoughts he had spent upon him in those black hours. He hungered for a word of kindness or of under- standing on which he could feed his starving soul. He wanted his father’s love. He wanted, more than anything ‘ else in the world, to love his father. At the corner he paused, checked it an irresistible impulse to look 227:”:- ward at the house he had just left T: his surprise there was a light in he drawing room windows facing the, street. The shades in one of them had been thrown wide open and a stream of.light flared out across the idewalk, Framed in this oblong square of light stood the figure of a man. Slowly, as if drawn by ’a force he could not resist, the young man retraced his steps until he stood directly in front of the window. A questioning smile was on his lips. He was looking up into Ranjab’s shadowy, unsmiling face, dimly visible in the glow from ths distant street lamp. For a long time they stared at each other, no sign of recognition passing between them. The Hindu’s face was as rigid, as emotion- less as if carved out ’o-f stone; his eyes were unwavering. Frederic could Somehow, as he rushed down the front steps with the cool night aft blowing in his face, there surged ut within him a strong, overpowering sense of filial duty. It was his duty tr. make the first advances. It was for him to pave the way to peace and ha. ,~ piness. Something vague but disttafl ing tormented him with the fear thy! his father faced a grave peril and the his own place was beside him and not against him, as he had been in 2231 these illy directed years. He «0113:? not put it away from him, this i}: that his father \\ s in dangerâ€"in dan ger of something that was not phy s- ical, something from which, with am his valor, he had no ads uate fern; defense. He left them gaping with astnnfsh ment and dashed out into the hail for his coat and hat. Even then he ad no definite notion as to what his max-1 move would be, save that he was going outâ€"somewhere, anywhere, he did not care. Lydia slipped out of his mind, Yvonne was set aside in this immortal moment. He had not thought of them except in their relation to a completed state of happiness for his father. 1::- distinctiy he recognized them as essen- tials. His thoughts were of his father. A vast, inexplicable longing possessed his soulâ€"a longing for the affection of this man who was never tender, who stood afar off and was lonely, too. He could not understand this astounding change of feeling. He had never felt just this way before. There had been timesâ€"~and manyâ€"when his heart was sore with longing, but they were of other days. childhood days. Tonight he could not crush out the thought of how ineffably happy, how peaceful life would be if his father were to lay his hands upon his shoulders and say, “My son, I love youâ€"I love you dearly.” There would be no more lonely days; all that was bitter in his life would be swept away in the: twinkling of an eye; the world would be full of joy for him and for Lydia. “Jones, open another bottle ” com- manded Mr. Dawes, loftily. 3 Frederic shook his head and two faces fell. Right bravely, however, the old men maintained a joyous interest in the occasion. The young manl turned moody, thoughtful; the unwont- ed exhilaration died as suddenly as it had come into existence. A shadow crossed his 1ision and he followed it1 with his thoughts. A sense of utter; loneliness came over him with a swift- ness that sickened, nauseated him. The food was flat to his taste; he could not eat. Self-commiseration stifled him. He suddenly realized that he had never been so lonely, so unhappy in all his liie as he was at this mo- ment ‘ “God bless her!” shouted Mr. Riggs “God bless her!” echeed Frederic. v ‘ Makes no difference,” said Mr Dawes, stoutly. “Far as I’m concerned, you are.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. The lights went up and the house was bright. Men began scurrying up the aisles. He moved up to the railing again and resumed his eager scrutiny of the throng. He could not find them. At first he was conscious of disap- pointment, then he gave way to an absurd rage. Yvonne had misled him, she had deceived himâ€"ay. she had lied to him. They were not in the audience, they had not even contem- plated coming to this theater. He had been tricked, deliberately tricked. No doubt they were seated in some other. place of amusement. serene]: eniom The curtain was up, the house was still, save for the occasional coughing of those who succumb to a habit that can neither be helped nor explained” There were people moving on the stage, but Frederic had no eyes for them. He was seeking in the dark ness for the two figures that he knew were somewhere in the big, tense throng. An hour later Frederic approached the box office of the theater mentioned by Yvonne over the telephone that morning. The play was half over and the house was sold out. He bought a ticket of admission, however, and lined up with others who were content to stand at the back to witness the play. Inside the theater he leaned weakly against the railing at the back of the auditorium and wiped his brow. What was it that had dragged him there. against his will, in direct oppo- sition to his dogged determination to shun the place? Earlier in the evening, without warn. ing, without the slightest encourage ment on his part. there had suddenly leaped into existence a warm, tender and wholly inexplicable feeling toward his father. At first he had been amazed by this unwonted, almost un- natural feeling, which later on devel. oped into something quite tangible in the way of an emotion, but he was be- ginning to realize that the real mys tery lay outside of any self-analysis he could make. Like a shot there flashed into his brain the startling question: Was Ranjab the solution? Was it Ranjab’s mind and not his own that had moved him to such tender resolves? Could such a condition be possible? Was there such a thing as mind control? Then came the sharp recollection of that motionless, commanding figure in the lighted window, and his own puzzling behavior on the sidewalk out- side. He recalled his impression that someone had called out to him just before he turned to look up at the Window. It was all quite preposterous he kept on saying over and over agaii: to himself, and yet he could not shake off the uncanny feeling. As he made his way to Broadway, somewhat hazily bent on following that thoroughfare to the district where the night glittered and the stars were shamed, he began turning over in his mind a queer notion that had just sug- gested itself to him, filtering through the maze of uncertainty in which he had been floundering. It occurred to him that he had been mawkishly sen- timental in respect to his father. His. attitude had not changedâ€"he was seri- ously impressed by the feelings that had mastered himâ€"but be found him- self ridiculing the idea that his father stood in 1.:eril of any descriyfion. And suddenly. out of no particular trend 01 thought, grepcd the sly, per._;'istcnt sus- picion that he had not been altogether responsible for the sensations of an hour ago. Some outside influence had molded his emotions for him, some cunning brain had been doing his thinking for him. he was out of sight of the house be cast frequent glances over his shoul- der as if still expecting to see the lighted window and its occupant.

They undoubt- edly were enjoying themselves. Once more the great, almost suffocating wave of tenderness for his father swept over him, mysteriously as be- fore and as convincing. He experi- enced a sudden, inexplicable feeling of pity for the strong, virile man who had never revealed the slightest symp- tom of pity for him. The same curi- ous desire to put his hands on his father’s shoulders and tell him that all was well with them came over him again.
