"I will go on,"' he said. And after
pause, during which he seemed to
urn back to the page upon which' he
tad made his notes, he found . his
dace and continued. -
"I have endured great humiliations.
have suffered Winch pain. Over and
ver again I have been treated as
hough I were an inferior being. Let

and his faith. He will recover, after
living again in this house, the loyalty
and deep affection for his family
Which .is. inherent to the . Jew. At
whatever' cost to himself he will, obey
the call of his' blood," '
Although there, was deep emotion
in all this, it was said with the great-
est economy', of gesture'and a 'finality
which permitted of no argument. Ar-
rived at. the •end .-of' thfs -peroration
the old man bowed, with old-fashion-
ed courtesy, first' to Helen and then
to Farquhar.
He let them see'quite plainly that1
the interview was at an end.
,111
And it would have been at:an end
if, under the stress of an indignation
which made him forget the doctor's
injunctions, 'Max had not flung him-
self into the argument.

Mit Lorbenstein not as pan old man
to be petted and. cajoled but as an

strength, "you can't dismiss this•thing

"Then I stand with my' back to the

Helen, talking quickly,` and with heat.
"As one who' -is a . social leader in
this city 1- have sent to you, over and
over again, • the most • polite invita-
tions to meet the members of charit-
able organizations.in my ballroom..
You have answered them invariably
with excuses. Never in your life, not

ter this house,- 'or to entertain in
yours, . myself, the members of my

whom there -might he levelled the.
charge of his :having Jewish blood.'
That is true?" ,
"Perfectly ' true," said Helen,, "ex-
cept that, of course, like other New
York women, I have broken the bar-
rier from time to time in favor of a
pet Jew." •
Mr. Lorbenstein gave an agry scoff.
"I shall not forget, Mrs. Farquhar,
that it was 'through you, on behalf
of, the "Colony Club, that my.:eldest
daughter was informed that she could
not become a member in spite of the
fact that her money and devotion
had been .lavished upon its work for
our army- in time ,of war. That is
true?"
"P.erfectly true," said Helen.
"And yet you say, at this late hour,
that you haye'sympathy and kindness
in regard to an engagement which is
detestable to yqu and has stirred the
whole country"into taking sides, simp-
ly because you. do riot, wish tet' lose,

He turned . away, thrust Max's aw:
pealing hand aside, and with quicker
and shorter steps than ever, left the
room. • -
"My God," thought Farquhar, "whet
will this mean to Jean?"
If he had marriedl°iielenfor love,
and had lived" --in . happiness with
her all his life, he mighthave ask-
ed -himself •a. very different question
at that moment. Unselfishness is
brought about by . suffering. Consid-

"Say nothing. Keep a:' `perfectly

• "Very good, in't master;" said Hel-
en, with imitation deference. She had
never taken orders before,' nor had
any living creature ventured to give
them -not even Jean.
Farquhar' trod on several feet -the
centre of a scrum. He used his el-
bows so that he might ','haze a lane
for his wife. Along this .Helen made
her way calmly and quietly, with a
Marie Antoinette expression and her
eyes on her house.
Ignoring the bombardment of ques-
tions, Farquhar followed, used ..Hel-
