In utter weariness of body mid despair of soul, he threw himself upon his

el mecKery ami seeiimgs, wiiip iliseertiiuit sounds made inw his ipilverini; soul.
TIipii opening up his eyes, he saw strange shnpes tnke form from out the very
atmosphere. As they grew closer te Ills sight, he sensed familiar semethings I
about them each. And suddenly he knew them knew them for whnt-they renll J
Doubt mocked. Heur jeered, Failure whined. Words of venom fell from i
off the lips of ITnte. Said sad Despair: "I'm, where's the use in anything'"
Swift goaded le the point of .madness by their sharp discerdancy, Melchinr

Le. as he spoke, tlie lloer beneath their feet was opened up, letting them
down into a blazing crucible. Their cries, their ineanS. were piteous te hear, but
.Meh hler turned n deaf ear te the sounds.
"Thus have ye tortured me mid kept me from m ewn: maddened me with
your ever-burning negatives, and new reaction eipml te the action jp have made
lias caught mi in its tells!"
Their cries giew fainter, fainter still, till .silence reigned at last anil unto
Melchliir came a new-born peace, such ns his life bad never known before. Then,
