editorial `oft women's rights was -line.
She was very happy he had written
it in that vein just the way he had
qutlined,it to her: It was held-splen-
did.
old-splendid. : ... A discreet tenderness ran
through the • note. 'Miss Graves , was
worried over his staying away ' 80
long. Ile saw that clearly.
E• Te tossed ail thought of working
that eternitg de$aattely to the winds,
There was no use. The +'problami"
took its- . place once more, tike the
,traditional sword, over his head. Witte
loved. Barbara 'Grraves.' He was cer-
tain, too, that his lot+, would be re-
turned. He and Barbara had been
approaching each other nearerand
nearer for more than a year. He
iiad• been a frequent -Visitor at the
'Graces' •home• durktit that time. Much
of his writing, as in the case of the
editorial on women's rights, had been
dine after he had talked things over
with her, or with her brother, or
both. Hebegan to feel that he could
no longer satisfy the resire of her,
company, for' her presence, with an
occasional visit. He Wanted her to
himself, constantly all the time.
It was not, easy .to begin With for
Witte to admit to himself that the
feeling he cherished for Barbara, was
love. Helen had . not entirely
ceased. to be a part of himself. .... .
At. night he would lie awake for hours
and watch Helen and a, 'little 'bey--
their
oytheir little boy, the one that 'should
not have died at birth -romp ,about
ona green ;lawn. `::. • He would romp
with them ---and pet his child and talk
to Helen in warm, endearing terms..
He had seen a. picture of -such a hap-
•py family somewhere, and. the , picture
had. fastened itself in 'his brain with
Helen, their .,;ch1ld-their dead son -
and as: the subjects . . In
his dreams he was leading a delight-
ful
elightful family life with Helen and was
spending many ecstatic moments
with his golden -haired youngster.
' Ortenight . the picture.- of. Helen
Which his imagination : had conjured
up, had imperceptibly passed over in-
to a picture Of Baarbara. . . Only
Barbara was not playing with a child,
on the lawn. Instead•,she was.,sitting
in a reclining chair, book it hand.
Gradually the • picture of Barbara
crowded out the picture of Helen and
their baby. There was something ev-
ery day, a letter, a telephone call., a
visit to remind him of ' Barbara, to
draw hire nearer tQ •.her. 'He realiz-
ed that he loved her deeply, tenderly
-and drew back writhing•.in'pain-
Stunt by the "problem"- •
What stood between Witte and Bar-
bara was 'race. He .did not mince
words about it. He did not try to
deceive. himself. When a little child
7h Russia, he had learned to fear
certain 'Christian holidays because.
they meant drunkenness, and ' that
meant breaking into 'Jewish homes,.
fighting, brawling -"a calamity upon.
Jews." In America the prejudice
against his race did not manifest it-
self in plisi'cai violence. ..But there
were fine pin -pricks, subtle discrimin-
ations, which did not escape hie eye,
which did not escape his own person;
at times.. His love foir the Gentile
girl' had the effect of„ awa.kening".and.
intensifying his racial sympathies:
Of course, Miss Graves had nothing-
to do with this. There were no per-
sonal •. eligious •differencee between
him and her. "-He was no disciple of
the synagogue. 'Miss Graves nominal-
ly
ominally was a Unitarian. Her deism and
his antagonism had nothing hostile,
nothing conflicting about them. That
was what his reason told him. But
that did not 'smooth. over, the indi:gni-
ties whieh, -though he was not Him-
self suffering from them at.the mom-
ent, the Je vs were suffering at the
time in various parts_of the world, at
the bands of Christians.. And these
indignities 'rankled, !burned,
For three months this awakened
•race feeling ,had beenstrewing thorns
in the • path of his lb'Ve. He bad
sought all the literature... onthe stile
jeet • . from Lessing's "Nathan the
Wise" to zangwill's "The ' Melting
Pet," He read the latest discussions:
of the "Jewish question" in the ,Yid-
dish press- of America. He was much
impressed with Nathan's speech to
the 'Templar:
"Are we our nation? What does
it signify -nation?
Are Ohristian and Jew rather Chris-
tian and Jew
Than .Man? Oh, if only. I,. had
found in you
One more whom it suffices tohe
called Man."
But the broad tolerance of the wise.

ly, it seemed :to Witte, was • getting
;nearer to 'lute. -crux of wire difference
between dew .and Ghrtstian..
"Gbristt'anity is' not content with,
having the Jew merely throw off his
creed," this ,writer wound, up an. im'

"But," the writer concluded,' "as
long as there are 'churches there will
'be synagogues. As long as church

Christians, the Shopar will speak of'

Miss Graves accompanied him one
Sunday •morning on a stroll through
the EasNide.•.Within the space of
one block they came upon a church
and a synagogue. It was a Jewish
holiday, arid precisely at the hour
when men and women were pouring
out of the church at one end of the
block,- melt and women Were pouring
out of the synagogue at the other. The'
worshippers in each case carried a
copy of, the Book which first. •promul=
gated the injunction, "Love thy neigh-
bor as thyself." They passed each
.other in grim, silence.. Yes, here .and
there even with a look of anger, hat -
Ted.. Several children snickered
"Sheeny" and mimicked a. bearded
Jew whose features were not unlike
those that artists attribute to the
Christ. . •
Miss Graves noticed this and bit
Ewer, lips. When she. regained control
over herself 'ehe•said:
:"Some day, humanity will" outgrow
'bigotry and superstition. It is incon-
ceivable that these artificial barriers
between races should last' for all
time."
At 'which. Emil laughed. softly,. sad'
ly.':'"Oh ,his desk lay • the unfnishedj
^maauscrlpt •of an • article on the "Ris-
ing Tide of Nationalism," which he
was writing. Evert then all through
Europe the smaller nations were in
ferment, demanding the right to exist
as independent • national bodies. AS
was the case with the Jews in the
days of the prophets,, each of these
nationalities was now clamoritt ,for
a king. They welcomed tyranny so
long as the tyrants were of their own
blood.,
• He, communicated his thoughts to
her and his doubt about the quick
disappearance of race distinctions and
national hatreds.
• "Is .there.to be no end of it?" Mies
Graves asked with tn£lnite sadness;
Ste -this senseless feud between fol-•
lowers of varius creeds .to rage :on
for ever? Will the cross, which was
intended as a symbol"of passion, can-
tinue to • be identified with p'ersecu-
tine? -Will- the ringing of church
•bells, intended to signify the ushering
in of peace and. good will, continue to
spell massacres, 'pogroms upon mil-
lions
illions of people? Is there a'o way
out?"
- Several days later • they were' dis-
cussing the same problem as they sat
on a bench ie Prospect, Park' in the
evening. ,.
Witte was more than psually sub-
dued. There seemed to 'be no„ way
out of this muddle of religious big-
otry and persecution. -There seemed
to be no remedy for this • blind, Un-
reasoned race hatred. He feared there.
was no way out. His love, his hap-
piness were crumbling. •-
•Mies Graven looked helpless, dis-
tressed." She caught a glimpse of
.witte's •face. It was graven with pain.
They. sat silent for a long time. . . .
She finally broke the silence. Her
-voice vibrated with feeling. It sound-

"Yes," she. was saying, "there is .a
