to be. Ji-.otlyn'a ncutenesa was not of a
Que enough order to enable bim to hit
upon the real explanation. Bnt tho epi
tode alo admonished him that it was
full time he himself took a lea ding and n
winning hand in the game.
Accordingly Jocelyn insensfaly began
to draw nearer to the object a his at
tentions. He talked to her a great deal
about her profession, about the preroga
tives of genius, and the peculiar pri . 1
lege permitted to the artistic and es
pecially to the musical temperament.
Hie launched into philosophical gpacula
tions abont the constitution of society,
and demonstrated what a gigantic tyr
anny the marriage covenant was as at
present administered. The time would
come, he declared, when we should look
back upon such a state of things with
wonder mingled with disgust.
Consider the immense number of di
vorces and scandals that were coming to
light in all degrees of the social scale;
what were they but the blind and in
articulate protest of the individual
against the selfish injustice of the ma
jority? Whnt was the remedy for these
abuses? Did it not lie in the bunds of the
superior persons in the world of those
who could see through the show of
things, who were flour headed, and pos
leased the courage of their convictions?
Let them lead the way. Doubtless tliey
would be Dursned by the sneers and
0sr
slanders of fouls Mini bigots: but fools
and bigots had ever been the foes of
progress nnd enlightenment. We who
take the broader and prcfoiintler views
can afford to disregard their clainnr.
We (said JiK-clyn, Inking the prima Min
na's hand in his, and stroking it koi'vi

Inter lie followed. It is nut merely n::r

base for us to shrink ; c:;:
The piimn donnn withdrew her haul
as titiolitrtiRivcly as she could, nnd nski-1
her mentor what objection there ivn i to
marriage if people loved each other?
Ue replied that if they loved en' !i
other what was the use of mnrriag ?
Bhe rejoined that for two persons to
love each other ivr.i for them to feel that
they must belong to ench other forever,
and that marriiige wns simply their np:-:i
declaration before Ood and man of the
existence of this feeling in their hearts.
To make such n declaration was, she
conceived, a natural nnd inevitable im
pulse, and it was natural and expedient
that it should lie made according to cc r
taiu forms, the grndual outcome of tra
dition and custom. Therefore she
thought marriage was not so much an
injustice of society to the individual, as
a demand made by the individual that
society be tho witness nnd a voucher of
bis covenant.
But Jocelyn herenpon pointed out that
a covenant always implied 11 binding
promise, involving penalties if it were
broken; that this again implied distrust
in the Mwer of pure love to hold its own,
' and that uuy outside pressure brought to
bear nisin a passion essentially so free us
love must, tend to promote the very re
; action and revolt which it professed to
. guard against, bhe made unswer tli.it
the covenant of marriage was not 11
: bondage, nnd had not that effect U)Kn
' the parties to it, but that to make one'
j happiness known to others en lowd it
with a reality nnd substance which were
'else wanting to It. That every pen on
j one met tucitly or explicitly couJirme.l
it, reechoed it and ansnred it. and that
j the wedded slate would coustviuently
loselialf its delight 11 ml security if it ex
, iiito4, for example, between two persona
on desert island, debarred from ever
communicating the fart of iivir mutual
relation to others.
Vjcelyn here changed his 'ground, the
better to convey his meaning, nnd put it
to his interlocutor whether large per
oontnge of marringies were not notori
ously unhappy, und this lioixig admitted
whether it were not thereby ilciunu-
j struted that a ptrnt many mairiages
were 11 mistaKcr ne .answered that
wn if ull inamajsns wlrioli had ever oc
curred were mistakes, that would not
prove thut marriage itself was u mistake.
Ibut oidy that the wedded partners had
Ibren mistaken in sieh other. Cmiii his
maintaining that every institution mil: t
tin judged by its iiractiral application,
0io rejoined that if thene were 110 such
thing as love, there was un end to all
argument ubout it.
He said that ksre did tumiuestionably
eaist, and that it was the strongest and
I most enduring passiou f the linmau
I iipjirt, hut that it by tie means followed
I that we could always love the same per
I sou wun 4'quiu lervar. l.ile was
growth, uud lov4 which was the essence
1 of life, must tlnu-efore lie subject to
growth likewise. As we developed, as
our minds and cnputntioU'expuniled. we
put aside tho things of .our less urn-
tui-e time, uud embraced tho interests
nnd the loves con'.jajnding to our l.'irger
siuif re. f here was one hire for child

and utortully injured myriads of inno
cent hinnaii beings.
To Uns the prima donna replied that
love could grow illimitubly without dan
ger of oner outgrowing it object. The
need was not of more to love, but to love
more. Ood, who was love itself, loved
the meanest of his creatures, and what
Ood loved that, surely, is not unworthy
the affection of the most richly endowed
of muukind. As Jocelyn did not iinme
diately confute this argument the prima
donna arose and gently intimated that
it was necessary for her to be ulono in
order to prepure for the evening's per
formance. Jocelyn ought to have known the futil
ity of argument with a woman ubout a
subject in which the emotions are main
ly involved. Even if he had demon
strated bis proposition and obtained her
assent to it, he would not have been a
bit nearer his goal. A woman overpow
ered by passion will act in direct oppu
(itiou to thu most elementary dictates of
reason; und tho same woman will not
swerve a hair's breadth from thu path of

in JiK-flyn's sylln-im was Jocelyn him
self. Man limy si aii'tiincs be led by the
intellect, but woman only by the heiirt
und by curiosity.
After the above discussion it became:
vaguely apparent to Jocelyn that the 1
prima donna was drifting away from
itkii. ;!,! purried bis attempt 1 nt famil
inr intercourse gnilly but cuectively.
He had in fact done hern service against
his own iulerest:i. He had msi-tod her

It was im m il'i ul 111 on 1 1 i 11 1 . then fore, tn

the season was nt hand.
While he was racking bis brains as to
what he should do. accident came oppor

Jocelyn's ghastly nsisx-t filled her with
compassion and tenderness. She knelt
down beside him where lie lay upon the
sofa, dipped her handkerchief in water,
and with soft murmurs of sympathy and
ruth washed the blood away from bis
wound. He recognized his good luck
and lay still for a time, apparently in the
dead faint that precede dissolution.
Butwntching his opportunity when they
were left nlone for a few minutes be fal
tered out an entreaty to be lifted to n

her strong young arms about him to ac

awarcs entangled iu his embrace, and
before she could extricate herself she
felt his lips on her cheek.
Bhe placed him in the attitude he
