He got up. moved around a little, then sat. down at. the table and BDoke more quietly. "Father would. n't tell why he'd done it-only lvld Judge Kircher, who told me, But he didn't have to tell it. Plenty knew. This rat had already told his swaggerlng lies. It was p, llel" His voice rose again and his fist Pflllnded the table. "Mother never -he never-" but there his voice broke and he stopped.

Lydia asked: "Who was he?"

"Al; one time he was the hired man here. He lived in the house, He‘ claimed"

“Warren," she broke in, "did he sleep In my room?"

“Oh, what has that to do with it?" he cried impatiently. "Yes, as a. matter of fact I believe he did.

"Why, Lydia." for she looluxl al though she had been struck, "Is that so very important?"

She shook her head, though she was biting her lips. "No, I suppose it isn't important-to anyone else."

She looked around the room-at the freshly tinted walls, the little print curtains she had put up the day before. Coming back to bring the old place to life! Coming to find the lpast.—when murder and shame were the pest!

“Warren? she asked. "Why did Father bring me back?"

“I don't think," said Warren, speaking carefully, "thiat he thought ymi would come home."

"Then why did he do It? He must have wanted me to come-- leaving me the place if I would make it my home. Don't you l-hink he wanted me to come home?"

"l don't know," her brother said.

"But then-if not- hen it's as if he really were insane. If he did- n't think I would-didn't want me to—then why did he leave it like that? As a command upon me; as o-a- deep request. That's what I thought it—a deep request."

He didn't speak and some time she sat thinking before she asked: "IUOGSnT It seem that ivziy to you?"

"I don't know," was all Warren could say.

"When did he do this-about. the house? After he was-declared in- sane?" .

"I think it was about three months after-after it happened. Told Judge Klrcher he wanted to maki- disposltton of his property. There ivns no nlle lo contest. it, so it: was very Slmpir‘, just a paper signed. You may be sure of one thing: Father wasn't insane then and never has been. That was only —a way out. The community was sympathetic for a good many people knewfl‘ ho met her eye and merely said: "People felt Father

gave him this way out. They never even brought it into court-what lavas behind it, I mean."

There was something more she ought to ask. If slic were going tn inlderstand sh» ought. tn ask what It was till-y never bro-uglit into court, what it was made people kind to Father. 'l‘hrough that question the truth would lie», the whole truth. Why ‘Mother harl not loved her, why she had been kept away from home. Deep under- nonth the answer Io that iluestion lay the sorrel of Unhappy glances, of troublrd lonks. Know this true answer and she would know the secret of this house.

She sat there secklnc voice tn ask it. But. as Sho looked at her brother she could not risk. He look- ed as he would look when he was old. But she did sayutliouzh gent- ly she couldn't heal‘ down on lllmt "Warren. whni. dn you think? After Father had kept me n-way for yours, why did he lhcn leave the house to me? Not to us together —to me alone."

Ha raised his head and looked at her, looked as if asking her to know something without his say- ing it. He said at last: "Perhaps he was still protecting Mother."

Chapter XI

Two weeks had gone by since

Warren told Lydia. At first she felt she could not stay another day. She wouldn't have stayed had it not been for the little girl horn in Greece and a boy who was half Indian. They liked it here. They were heaItJier-heppier-all the time. This was home in them now. Tear that up whr-n It was just beginning? Take them to another new place-wander with them? Leave them wondering why this was, as she. had been left wonded- lng about things never made clear to her? Bhe wanted these children of hers to have a life in which they could llvo as their complete selves, not thwarted, baffled, not living with part of themselves and shying away from—they knew not what. And herself too—if she ran away now. what would it. lenv» her? Only that she would feel a fool for hav- ing oome. Her reason for coming would have failed. She would go her way. not more surely-oh. muchdsss surley than before. The past had not opened to bring her light. All she knew was that there was something darker than she had dreamed.

Itven ‘the thing that fortified her in coming waa uncertain now. Bhe cams In confidence because she thought her father had wanted her to come. But Warren thought not, ‘and so she questioned even this, and what had been her strength withdrew from her-to become part of all she did-not un- derstand. How could she leave- leaving it like, that?

Perhaps no one else in the world would think she was rlshf» to my on here and try to find the mean- irg of the years she had lived. What difference does it make? an- other would any. That in all in the past. and you have your own life to live. But there it was-she had her own life to live. She could live it if she knew who she was. rwhst manner of person, and why she had seemed one to he cast n- side. Too long ahe had needed to know to give up now and say, "It doesn't. mnttcr. 1 will Just go a- head." Cto ahead-from whet? To what?
