Picture-Play Magazine — Advertising Section 105 Sealed Hearts Continued from page 66 Jack understood very well the meaning of those words, uttered in that bland fashion. He felt a sudden chill of apprehension as Prentiss rose, with a face as hard as steel, and lifted his glass. Evidently he was about to propose a toast, and Jack knew what to expect. "To the woman who loves me— my wife," he was saying. And then he continued his toast, casting a look of intense hatred at Kate. "Who loves me so much that she even loves my son." As he said this his eyes swept the circle of guests with an expression of triumphant malignity. Only Kate and Jack knew the insane delight Prentiss was getting out of the situation. His next words came forth like the hiss of a serpent : "Loves him even as I love him." Jack now stood up. He sensed what the old man would say next. Leaning over toward the older man he whispered with an intensity that startled Prentiss into something like his own self. "If you dare say another word I'll kill you," he threatened. The expression on Prentiss' face suddenly changed. A look of physical fear and of intense physical suffering took the place of the sardonic grin. He shrank back, trembling. Jack turned to the guests. "Gentlemen," he said in a quiet significant tone, "my father is not well. I must ask you to leave. I am very sorry." Prentiss stood swaying against the wall. There was a childish smile upon his 'lips. Evidently something had snapped in his brain. Jack saw that the end was near as Prentiss sank into his chair. Rut before the indomitable ironmaster died he regained for a few seconds his former self. On recognizing Jack a sweet, good smile flashed across his withered lips. "My boy," he murmured, love shining in his eyes, "my boy, forgive me — and — be good to her." "Daddy," replied the son, tears streaming down his cheeks, "don't go. Stay with me." With a gesture indicating the great plant beyond the window, the old man sank backward. There was a little sound in his throat. Then he lay very still.
