CHAPTER XXI.
she bad grown wise nnd come
MJL to look upon Jlmsy's visits as
jff pleasant brenks !n the monot
ony of her existence, however,
she bad obtained glimpses of his Inner
self, flashes of the profundity of his
mind, an Inkling of his elevation of
ecntlment that escaped him, In spite
of himself, quite unconsciously. Her
woman's keen perception had divined
:a spirituality that was burled purpose
'ly by speech and conduct. This had
iintcrested her and given her food for
'thought, but sho 'could And no satis
factory explanation. The clew to the
mystery, which, truth to tell. Interest
ed her but mildly, had come to her
Iflrst on the evening of her husband's
lattack on Captain Williams in the llt
itle Harlem flat, when, after be had
let fall and smashed the cap, he had
remarked n little ruefully that he had
ilct slip everything he bad ever had In
his life that was worth while. Tbo
confirmation of her deduction that his
'unrequited love for herself had been
the death of ambition and accounted
for bis aimless, lonely existence, which
she had been Inclined to reject as ab
surd, was obtained on that momentous
night Just before her husband extin
guished utterly and forever the few
embers of love for him that still were
live. After he had told her the story
of his life In his quaint, everyday
speech and her heart bad gone out to
blm In that burst of Irrepressible sym
pathy the consternation this had caused
1)1 in bad uncovered bis secret as In a
book, for in that moment she bad seen
beyond the mere start of timid mod
esty. Later, after the shock of Brooks' ac
tion had ceased to obsess her and be
had receded further and further to
ward a memory, she had set free her
Imprisoned Inclinations. Ouco more
her rejuvenated fancy bad taken wing
to the heights of tbo Ideal and romau.
tie. Somehow it bad come to asso
ciate Jlmsy with Its excursions. Pos
sessor of bis secret, she had set herself,
while disguising her task with cun
ning, to the dangerous study of the
heart that had held It so long Inviolate.
The knowledge that he loved her with
such steadfast intensity rekindled love
on the dead ashes her husband had
left behind, and for the very reason
that Jimsy betrayed bis sentiments in
nothing, held unswervingly to the line
of conduct toward her he had followed
ever since sho had refused to take seri
ously his offer of marriage, this love
had grown stronger, fiercer, until It
bad tilled bcr life. She saw that she
had passed happiness -by. She exalted
Jimsy's secret passion until In her
Imagining he became the Incarnation
of nobleness, of desire, of all mortal
Joys.
She brought a heap of blueberries to
1 lii in and poured them into his Joined
bauds, and they seated themselveR on
a rook to eat them and to rest
"This Is the most enjoyable picnic
I've had In years," she said gayly. "It
was quite au Inspiration of yours to
run up to visit us. Why don't you
come often Instead of spending your
week ends In the hot city? You ought
to take a vacation and stay here for a
few weeks."
"I'd like to awfully." he told her,
"but the fact Is I'm too busy to think
of getting away. Williams Is piling a
whole lot of work and responsibility on
me these dnys. Williams, you know.
Isn't what you'd call an easy boss. If
he raises a man's salary he sees to It
that he gets his money's worth, ne
simply won't be bothered, even with
matters that ain't precisely details."
"It's because he tniBta you, Jlmsy,"
she assured him with an Intonation
perilously near to tenderness.
"So you see," he went on, "it's easier
to talk about holidays than to get
them. I shouldn't be here now, for
I'm working Sundays as well as other
days at present, only that I had to
come up on a matter of Importance."
"Oh," she said, with a pout, "I
thought you came to see us for our
selves, not on a business trip. No
more berries for you,"
"I came for the express purpose of
seeing you and o talking to you
alone."
Ilcr heart fluttered violently, suffocat
ingly, again.
"To mo alonei"
"Yea. I've seen Joe."
The pronouncing of her husband's
name won to ber as a heavy blow.
Sweet, timorous expectancy, hot, tur
bulent blushes that she had bent to
hide vanished instantly, and she look
ed up at blm startled,
"Joe walked in on me five nights
ago. He look well and is doing well."
"What is that to me?"
The words came in chilling accents,
nnd her eyea grew hard.
"Emma, do you remember that on
that night Just before you learned the
truth I told you about that chap In
Denver who was long on love uuu
short on honor and 'kind of took the
view that it was his wife's place to
overlook things and help him get
rightr
"Welir
"Well. I'm etlll of that opinion."
"Do I understand that you that
Bho did not finish the oentrnce, but
sat gating nt hlra with wide eyes,
stark with ngony and amaze.
"I guessed you'd be kind of sur
prised to hear from him. Slnco you,
loft Joe he's been leading a strictly
honest life. He hnB a good Job In a
bank nt a good salary, has saved mon
ey, nnd all he wants Is for you to for
give nnd forget nnd start over again.
Joo'ti nil right now, thcrc'a no doubt
about that, for I've looked up the rec
ord he's made since you'vo been sepa
rated. Not only that, but he loves you
more than ever. That'a gospel truth,
too, I know."
"Forgive and forget! Yes, I have
forgotten, nnd oblivion enshrouds for
giveness with It. Joseph Brooks Is
dead, as dead for me as though be
were in his grave. I have even ceased
to bear his name. Sometimes I have
wondered if he ever existed. If I re
member him It la ns one recalls a night
mare from which one Is glad to have
awakened."
She laughed a little mirthless laugh
and, plucking n fern branch, began to
pick the fronds from it nervously, let
ting them fall to tho ground.
"That's all very well, Emma," he
objected gently, "but Joe Is none tko
less very much nllvc, nnd he Is your
husband. You mustn't forget that
ever. And he's all right, I honestly
believe. If ho did fall into temptation
he meant well. He thought he could
put the money back easily enough,
and he wanted you to have more com
fort and be happy. The best of us
ain't no better than we should be If
you come right down to the contem
plation of the naked fact. You know
that the book says, There Is not a
Just man upon earth that doeth good
and slnnetii not.' To me the man who
is real sorry for having done wrong,
especially when his wrongdoing had
such a pardonable motive as Joe's had,
Is as good as ho was before he did the
thine."
"Xou are the one man i Know whom
I would never have suspected of har
boring a treasury of such homely plat
itudes," she said scornfully.
"If It were only a question of for
giving a man who bad sinned so weak
ly as that, but It Isn't," be went on.
"More is Involved his absolution and
salvation by duty If not by love. Em
ma, you are Joe nrooks' wife. You
took oath before God and you meant
It then to stick by hlra in adversity
as In prosperity, to help him In time
of trouble. Your place Is by his side
now. Yours Is the only hand that can
guide him right."
She rose and placed both of her llttlo
gloved bands on his shoulders nnd
looked Into his eyes.
"Do you believe what you are telling
me, Jlmsy Smith?" sho asked gently.
"Do you, speaking from your inmost
heart, order me to return to tho arms
of that man?"
.He rose, holding her wrists, firmly
against bis shoulders and speaking
with Intense earnestness:
"Emma, there are some things on
this earth that we're called on to do,
ordained by an all wise and merciful
Providence. Wo may not like to do
them, but it Is not a matter of Inclina
tion. We have to make our decisions
by the rule of right or wrong. Is It
right or is it wrong? It's an arbitrary
rule, but I guess it works out for the
best In the end. It has always seemed
to me so. Therefore I say go back to
Joe, your husband. Joe pleads to your
heart that was his. 'Tell her,' be said,
'that I'm more sorry than I can ex
press; that I'm sorry and miserable.
Tell her that there is no light in life
without her.' Those were about his
words."
He released her wrists. She bad lis
tened to him at the last with averted
face that was bloodless and looked
ghastly under Its coat of sun tan. She
walked away wrestling with herself.
Smith stood as Impassive as fate.
Hut on his brow a dampness had gath
ered, and she had seen the sweat beads
ooze there as he spoke.
The little cool clad form with its
clinging skirt returned slowly.
"Jlmsy, why did he charge you to
tell me these things?"
"Why? I don't know. Because I'm
his friend and yours, I suppose. Be
cause there was no one else could do
)r."
"And, like the good man you are,
you were governed In your decision by
the rule of right and wrong."
"That was about It, If you cut out
the qualification of me." '
"And, having been Influenced to ns
snmo this role of ambassador by a
sense of duty and loyalty, feeling
bound to do so for the very reason that
would have deterred n roan of ordi
nary moral caliber, you would have
idbered to the rulo though every word
of your counsel bad been to you as the
sear of a white hot iron and Its utter
ance had been death."
For the first time In her life she saw
a look of sternness pass over his face.
And it was mingled with pain.
"Emma," be said, "I guess we'll go
down now. And we'd better take a
short cut. If there Is one, or we wpn't
be home for dinner. You must be
hungry, and of all the"
"No, Jlmsy, hear me," she Interrupt
ed. "You must and shall hear me.
You have said what you had to say.
Now It is my turn, and I, too, will
speak plainly. You believe you know
I am and always have been u good
woman. You believe that I was faith
ful, as far as was humanly possible,
to the spirit as well as the letter of
my marriage vows, made fervently,
trustingly. I swore to love and honor
Joe Brooks. It was easy, for I did
then love and honor him beyond un
derstanding now. But neither lovo
nor honor is kept alive eternally by the
virtue of an oath in the face of de
lusion and worth!cR8nc6a. Gold was
tinsel; diamond was glaM. You were
witness to the clow murdering of love,
and you caw it strangled and thrown
down at the last- as he would have
strangled me had you not prevent-
ne would have spoken, but she
checked him with n gesture of com
mand. "No, don't Interrupt. Hear me to
tho end nnd then speak. Whnt I this
thine that you are nuking mo to do?
You arc asking me to go to a llvlnr
death, to make of my hear! r. srp
ulchcr of nil sweet or clevntlm- rao
tlon, to surrender my llpsto the fetid
kiss of nn Iscnrlot, to deliver my body
to his loathsome embraces, while my
soul sickens with disgust and horror
my body -that he would have betrayed,
hired out for a piece of sliver and,
gloating, taken back ngnln. You nre
nsklng tne to Immolate myself with all
that I hold sacred and beautiful on an
altar that you style duty. Now apply
your rule to this. Is.lt right? Is It
wrong? Oh, Jlmsy, answer me! Be
fore God, Is it rightr'
Sho stood trembling with the vche
mence of her defense and the strength
of her feeling, her arms outstretched
tn interrogation, and appeal.
A great sigh was the Indication of
Uie conflict that was raging In Smith's
heart, and for one single Instant the
mask of Impenetrability fall from his
face.
She read tho answer there.
Removing feverishly the glove from
ber left hand, she forced from Vher
finger tho wedding ring that in the
years had tightened closely upon It
and hurled It from her. It rleochettcd
on a rock and went bounding over the
outer edge of the plateau far down
Into the pathless, tangled brush of the
almost perpendicular declivity.
Smith turned away In silence, nnd in
silence they made their way back
along the llttlo path up which they
had come. Neither spoke, even at the
difficult places when bo stretched out
his hand and helped her with Its
strong, sustaining clasp.
Jlmsy was grave and abstracted. In
his Gcthscmanc he had drunk too
deeply of the waters of knowledge,
and they were bittersweet, heavily
Impregnated with regret and dismay.
Emma had discovered the secret
which for years he had guarded so
Jealously and oh, the blissful torture
of It! had revealed to him that she
loved him. This was the outcome of
his self sacrificing mission on behalf
of the husband who stood between
them with the right of the might of
law and the conventions and whose
trust was in the keeping of bis honor.
His role of platonic friendship was
ended, nis privileged relations with
tho woman who was dearer to him
than Hfo could no longer be main
tained. Tho home of tbo Harris fam
ily could no longer bo the refuge of
his loneliness, the pleasant oasis In
the desert of his existence, where he
could find consolation and rest for bis
suffering heart, beyond which the
world lay dark and Indiscernible.

Why should a good man not unnec

Verse 13 Describe, or point out on

thing for which theso cities are noted.
Verses 14-16 Btato your reason for
either theory that Joeus went to dwell
In Capernaum purposely to fulfil tho
prophecy of Isniah, or that his going
there was an unconscious fulfilment
of this prophecy.
Why, or why not, do any of the events
which God says ate going to happen,
depend upon the help of man?
Why Is It that the advent of Jesus In
to any heart, or Into any community, Is
Mke a great light bursting out In dense
darkness? (This question may have
to be answered In writing by members
of the club.)
Whnt is the llterai meaning of the
figures of light and darkneus, as used
In verse sixteen?
VersulT What. If any, was the dif
ference between John's preaching of
repentance and that of Jesus? (See
Chap. 3:2.)
Compare say Abraham and Enoch
of the Old Testament, with the Apostltea
John nnd Paul of the Now Testament,
and then compare the four with an

that these fishermen so promptly

Give a reason for your answer as to
whether God in these days, or ever,

ratic things, such as, neglecting their
business, or their families, in order to

How may a man of God recognize
the call of God to new work, when it
comes through tho medium of another
man?
Will a true Christian, at the com
mand of God, give up the business in
which ho may be engaged in order to
do gospel work?
When God calls a man to devote
himself to gospel work, is It always to
be presumed that it is a lifelong call?
Most people recognizo that a
special call is necessary for the gos

not a special call necessary for any

Why for example should not a Chris

If you are not sure that you are
