Lea ceeks revenge for being unjustly accused of robbing the Gresham firm and being sent to prison. He blames Olivar Ames, Lucy's cousin, and Gresham's manager. Lee has Inherited wealth and changed his name from Warrington, In compliance with the terms of the will. He secures an Invitation to Lucy's birthday party. Lucy Is practically engaged to Ames. Lee makes love to her, his only idea being to hurt Gresham and Ames. With her father's consent Lucy Is married to Lee. Be stuns her by telling her he does not love her and hates her whole breed. Lucy hears Lee's story of his wrongs and his determination to be avenged. She believes In his Innocence. "Linforths," competitor of Gresham's, shows a determination to crush its rival. Lee tells Lucy that he la "Linforths," and that he means to wreck Gresham. Jocelyn Upton asserts that Lee loved her before he met Lucy. Jocelyn seeks to win Lee but is repulsed. Lucy learns of the desperate condition of Gresham's and places her private fortune at the firm's disposal. Lucy Is frightened by "Silly Billy" and Lee comes to her rescue. ... "But, Jim, whatever the conditions of our life together may be, I shall not make that sort of fool of your name; our name; you needn't ever fear It And I'd like you to apologize for suggesting It." She looked at him squarely. There was a gleam of admiration for the spirit of her In his answering look, and without further comment he made the apology she had demanded. "Thank you," she said.

There was a curl to her lip as she said that, that brought the hot color to his face. For a moment it seemed that words clamored to his lips, and that he held them in check only with a mighty effort. Even with that effort his check upon them was evidently not complete, for he said movements, ... abruptly : "Perhaps that was not my only reason for coming here. Perhaps I came to . . . see you." Then : "I've seen Jocelyn Upton," he said, and waited. She raised a hand to her breast as if to still the sudden quick beat of her heart His somber eyes watched her narrowly. "Well?" she said at last And she waited, too. Waited for him to tell her that he loved Jocelyn and knew now that she knew it, and had come to see her to say that any further pretense was impossible.

"She is . . . inclined to be hysterical said Lucy. "If she told you a lie, she could tell me one. That stands to reason, doesn't it?" "Yes.. What has she told you, ..." Jim?" He opened his mouth to speak; closed it again and turned away with nothing said. Then : "She said that you loved Ames." It was her turn to laugh now.

"Do yon know, Lucy, I never expected to be ordered about; given permission to do this or that, quite as much as I get It from you. Above all . . ." he paused, looking down at her. "You never expected to obey, did you?" she put In. He laughed. ..." "And do you know why yon do?" she went on.

He put her back between the sheets, pulled the clothes up around her, and then sat beside her, and gathered her close.
