Theres a train east In two hours and Im going on it. Fortunately my property, or most of It, has dissolved the way it came. She moved toward him with extended hand. Qoodby, Dave, she said.

You cant fight for your country then. !You will only Increase Its troubles In these troubled times. Dont think Im (pleading for him, Dave, but for you, 'for the sake of us for the sake of those who care." lie took her hands in his and raised them to his shoulders and drew her face close to his. Then, speaking very slowly, and with each word by Itself, Do you really care? he su'd. Oh, Dave! ' Then come to my room and talk tome. Talk to me Talk lo me! For Gods sake talk to me! I must talk to someone. She followed him. Inside the room he had himself under control again. He told her the story, all he knew. When he had finished she arose and walked lo one of the windows and Stood looking with unseeing eyes upon the street. For the second time In his life Dave Elden had laid his heart bare to her, and again after all these years he still talked as friend to friend. That was It. She was under no delusion. Daves eyes were as blind to her love as they had been that night when he had first told her of Irene Hardy. And she could not tell him. Most of all she could not tell him now. . . . She had waited all these years, and still she must wait. Daves eyes were upon her form, silhouetted against the window. It occurred to him that In form Edith was ai i ; ; ... I th ajl things! Not all things, Edith ; not all things. It says all things." Dave was silent for some time. When he spoke again she caught a dif-ferent sound In his voice a tone as though his soul In those few moments had gone through a lifetime of experience. Edith, he said, when you repeated those words I knew you had something that I have not. I knew It, not by words but by the way you said them. You made me know that in your own life, if you loved, you would be ready to endure all things. Tell me, Edith, how may this thing be done? She trembled with delight at the new tone In his voice, for she knew that for him life would never again be the empty, flippant, selfish, irresponsible thing which In the past he had called life. In your case, she said, the course Is simple. It is just a case of forgiving. He gazed for a time Into the street, while thoughts of bitterness and revenge fought for domination of his mind. Edith, he said, at length, must I forgive? I do not say you must, she answered. I merely say if you are wise you will. Nothing, it seems to me, Is so much misunderstood as forgiveness. The one who is forgiven may merely escape punishment, but the one who forgives experiences a positive spir- I Have tc Kill a Man. very much like Irene. He recalled that in those dead past days when they used to ride together Edith had reminded him of Irene. When she stood silent so long he spoke again, Im afraid I havent played a very heroic part, he said, "somewhat I should have burled shamefacedly. my secret In my heart; burled It even from you; perhaps most of all from you. But you can advise me, Edith, I will value whatever you say. She trembled until she thought he must see her, and she feared to trust her voice, but she could delay a reply no longer. Dave," she said at length, why should you take Conward's word In such a matter as this? ( 'lidni take Conwards word, j itual expansion. Is that Christianity?" he ventured. It Is one side of Christianity. The other side is service. If you are willing to forgive and ready to serve I dont think you need worry much over the details of your creed. Creeds, but In lives. When you know how a man lives you know what he believes nlwaj3. Suppose I forgive what then?" Service. You are needed right now, Dave forgive my frankness your country needs you right now. You must dismiss this grievance from your mind, at least dismiss your resentment over it, and then place yourself at the disposal of your country. That is what I had been thinking of, he said. "At least that part about serving my country, although I dont think my motives were as high as you would make them. But the war cant last. It Is unbelievable." Im not so sure, she answered Of course I know nothing gravely. about Germany. But I do know something about our' own people. I know how selfish and Individualistic and we have sordid and and slothful how Incompetent been; we have been; and and I fear it will take a long war and sacrifices and tragedies altogether beyond our present imagination to make us unselfish and and clean and generous. I am not worrying about the defeat of Germany. If our civilization Is better than that of Germany we shall win, ultimately, and If our civilization Is worse than that of Germany we shall be defeated ultimately and we shall deserve to be defeated. But I rather think mat neither of the alternatives will be the result 1 rather think that the test of war will show that there are elements In German Civilization which are better than money-grabbin- g self-satisfie- d public-spirite- d ... Goodby! CHAPTER XIV. When Irene Hardy pursued Dave from the house the roar of his motorcar was already drowned in the hum of the city streets. Hatless, she ran the length of a full block; then, realizing the futility of such a chase, returned with almost equal haste to her home. What is the meaning of this?" she demanded of Conward. Why did he threaten to shoot and why did he leave as he did? You know. Tell me." h after all, are not expressed In words Yes," He Answered, form the basis of a new civilization better than either." If that is so, Dave replied, If this war Is but the working of Immutable law which proposes to put all the elements of civilization to the supreme test and retain only those which are Justifiable by that test, why should I or anyone else fight? And," he what added, as an afterthought, about that principle of forgiveness? We must fight, she answered, because It Is the law that we must fight ; because It Is only by fighting that we can Justify the principles for which we fight. If we hold our principles as being not worth fighting for the new civilization will throw those principles in the discard. And that, too, covers the question of forgiveness. Forgiveness, In fact, does not enter Into the consideration at all. We must fight, not because we hate Germany but because we love certain She threw herself upon me. She would have taken the bullet herself rather than let It find him. That was what that was what She had to hold I know, Dave. herself In check lest the tenderness that welled within her, and would shape words of endearing sympathy In her mind, should find utterance In she said. I know, Dave, speech. The next thing, then, Is to make sure In your own mind whether you ever really loved Irene Hardy. Because If you loved Irene a week ago you love her tonight. Edith," he said, there is no way of explaining this. You cant understand. 1 know you have given yourself up to a life of service, and I honor you very much, and all that, but there are some tilings you wont be able to understand. You cant understand just how much I loved Irene. Have you never known of love being turned to hate?" No. Other Impulses may be, but not love. Love can no more turn to hate than sunlight can turn to darkness. Believe me, Dave, If you hate Irene now you never loved her. Listen: Love beareth all things, believ-etall things, hopeth all things, You're Lying, Conward." principles which Germany , Is endeavoring to overthrow. ' The impulse must be love, not hate. She had turned and faced him while she spoke, and he felt himself strangely carried away by the earnestness of her argument. What a wonderful woman she was! And as he looked at her he again thought of Irene, and suddenly he felt himself engulfed In a great tenderness, and he knew that even yet What am I to do? he said. What am I to do?" In the darkness of her own shadow she set her teeth for that answer. It was to be the crowning act of and It strained every fiber of her resolution. .You had better go overseas and enlist in England, she told him calmly, although her nails were biting her You will get quicker action palms. that way. And when you come back you must see Irene, and you must learn from your own heart whether you really loved her or not. And If you find you did not, then then you will be free to to to think of some other woman. I am afraid I shall never care to think of any other woman, he answered, except you. But some way youre different. I dont think of you as a woman, you know; not really. In a way. I cant explain It, Edith, but youre something more something better than all that." He had sprung to his feet. Edith, -- TO AROUSE HEAVY "SLEEPER I am sure I wish I could tell you," said Conward with all his accustomed suavity. In truth Conward, having somewhat recovered from his fright, was In rather good spirits. Things had gone better than he had dared to hope. Elden was eliminated, for the present, at .any rate, and now was the time to win Irene. She stood before him, flushed and vibrating and with flashing eyes. "Youre lying, Conward, she said deFirst you lied to him, liberately. and now you lie to me. There can be Where Is that no other explanation. gun? He said I would know what to do with it. I have It, said Conward, partly carried off his feet by her violence. I will keep it until you are a little more reasonable, and perhaps a little more respectful. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
