An ex -Sergeant .Major hand was

stein's house, "like heli;" and sat holt

• There was some damned chicanery
here! For some, unaecountalile reason
there was,, a trick 3n. all this. What

Jean', .and his charming and' friendly
father whose joy in the approaching
Marriage had -'been very moving at
times, 'should deliberately have made
her suffer for God only knew what
strange misunderstanding that they
vere not frank enough to explain..
"Mai," he said to himself, "why,

up. ,.
But there was anger and resent-.
ment all about him in the middle of
his glaze because he could see 'the;
more and .more heartbreaking sight,
of his daughter looking like a young
bird that had fallen out of its nest.
He was no use to her and Helen not
much more. ;.Slke was lost without
this -man. '
Only once had he seen such love
as hers, such pride in possession so
deep and true and 'unselfis'h a devo-
tion, such an ecstasy of protection.
He paid off the cab, darted' across
the wide pavement, up the pompous
steps and rang the bell.

"'Is Mr. Lorbenstein at home!"
"He's in sir, and if you 'have an
app(flntmeht. .",
"I haven't. Send, in my name."
` : °'Verdi' good, sir."' -
Farquhar marched up and down
the foyer. -
What- in the name of all that was
The gay, Jean without a single
laugh . . . It was quiet, this place;
might be miles ' away from streets
an undehanded business if Den-
ham hadn't been lying. . .
"Mr. Lorbenstein will see you, sir."
"Where is he?''
"In the music -room, sir."
"All right. I know the way."
Farquhar mounted the stairs, open-
ed the door . of the music -room, and
went in.
Mr. Lorbenstein was seated at the'
piano with his shoulders hunched
and his hands on the keys, limply,
'Pears were ,chasing each other down
Ms :face and dripping from his chin.
,He didn't look up when he was aware
of Farquhar's presence. He merely
shook his head and held out his right
hand. He looked old and frail.
Farquhar said: "What, is. it? What
is the matter?'' and hurried forward.
The old gentleman gave a sob.
"Has it anything to do with Max?
Where,, is he? What is the matter,
here?'' a
Mr. Lorbenstein took Farquhar's
hand in both his own and looked up,
though he couldn't see through his
glasses.
"The matter here, my friendf" he
said, very, brokenly, "is that Max has
been burning himself at the ' stake.
Behind my unwilling deception he
has , been sacrificing himself on the
black and godless altar of intolerance
and prejudice . , . I beg you to let

Mr. Lorbenstein went on . through
his tears.
"You will understand that it de-
mandedd great courage of Max to go
without seeing Jean and saying, a-243,
•1a'st •'.good-bye. He wished ter spare
her that: You will- give her 'this. And
with it his love, and- my love, and a
prayer for God's mercy."
He got up as though he were at
the end, of his'. strength.
But he wasn't at the end of his
strength:
As Farquhar went to the door with
the letter in his hand he raised his
arms :,,and, his voice, and cried out
'loudly, supporting' himself on the
Iiiano towhich he clung, as. the sym-
bol of Max: "Thetree of liberty is
being killed by the hatred ofour two
races. It is a dying tree: Prejudice
and intolerance are eating at its roots.
Its branches are ;'snapping, and. its
:leaves are falling, and who is there
in' •all this world to water it with
'titaness and good -will?"
IV
Farquhar walked home slowly.
Civilization?'' Barbarism was the
better word, he thought. We were
not moving on, .but slipping back.
Fear, hate, jealousy, and persecution
were w rampant. What were the
Churches doing? What was Ithe, use
of old and new religions? Where was
the influence" of a League of Nations,
a World Court, or any other of the
numerous and high=sounding institu-
tions, which worked for the end of
hostility when Jews and Gentiles were
allowed to loathe each other as, in
the' old bad days? Was there nothing
to be done?
A queer business;. life. Was it whel-
ly'inane and accidental? Was it a
tale of folly., and of 'woe, of hope
against hope, the bitter dregs of strife
endingmerely in death? Was it, like
history, littleelse than a picture of
human crimes and misfortunes, in-
d'scriminate in its treatment of good
an. bad, kind and cruel, wise and
ignorant? Was it just a blunder and
a shame, an intense and, abortive
struggle on a sort of temporary land
ng forever. at the mercy of a ruinous
zee, so that what was built up when
the -tide was. out was broken down
cu its return?
In a mood of heavy depression Far-
quhar asked himself these questions
and was bound •to leave them unan-
swered. All he knew at the age of
fifty-five was summed up in words of
Amies, which he had used before:
"Life is the `apprenticeship to pro-
gressive renunciation; to the steady
diminution • of our claims, of our
hopes, .of our powers, of our liberty."
> nlike..Gamlingay, who- held that he
had discovered the solution and the
reward, he could only venture upon
the most humble hope that iu spite
of: changes, ' creeds, philosophies, and
out -worn systems, God remained. ' If
that were so then there was compen-
sation for the man who plated
straight ' and was, decent, who was
charitable and cultivated "'kindness,
who struggled do be unselfish and
knuckled down with courage to disil-
lusion, disappointment, ingratitude
and grief. ,
As • to courage, more of .that was
demanded of him in delivering Max's
letter to Jean than he had ever ;been
'required to showin his life. It seem-
ed to him that he bad been asked,
a''s a- punishment for his former meg-
lett, to hand her a knife with which
to cut out her heart.
He found her in the morning -room
WA' Helen. She was standing in his
particular place with her ;back to the
fire.. She had evidently just come in:
From driving, he thought;' by • the. dol-
our' on her 'face. 'The wind was keen
that day. And it inspired him to .see
that she 'had taken a grip on -herself
and was among thein, and o, -them,.
again. Had she . the grit, the ileien
gri't,. to take. this blow standing? Was
there anything in brood and caste
When it dame ter a show -down?
"L'olky's been liere;" she said.
