The professor stood in the middle of the
room, his feet wide apart, his left hand
with cigarette in air. the thumb of his
other hand caught in his suspenders, ac-
cessible because of the open vest and coat.
His hair, from the excited handling during
his long monologue, was at odds with his
head. "Whew!" he said, and then watched
with smiling interest for signs of the inter

Here is something of the letter. 1t is
dated at Clifton Mass, June 20, 1898:

My darling Herzel, thou dear one whom
have once or twice called "my husband" in
anticipation of the time when our lives should
be as one. oh, darling, listen with patience to
what am going to say. Last night papa called
me to have private talk with him. l felt
what was coming and my knees tremb but
/ sent up prayer to the dear God to sustain
me- 1t seems that yesterday morning papa re-.
ceived a telegram from some unknown person
in Chicago saying, "Guard Lila fro m Imber''
Well darling, it came to the point that papa
said must choose between my duty to my
parents and my love for you. Oh, cruel words
that they may seem, after all my vows of love
to thee, my precious. Yet was forced to it,
for me to die than for two or three
And papa said that if I should marry YOU
it would kill him and my mamma. And if
such should be the case, very likely should
die of broken heart For who of any princ-
pie could bear the thought of killing his par
ents, to whom he owes SO much? could not
be happy, darling, in your arms if / thoug ht
was killing my parents And so, dear, o thou
w hom my heart truly loves, it is probable that

Then the professor turned to himself
again.

So am I wrapped up into the heaven of

The poet was a slim, dark, little man
with long, matted hair. His face was
hatchet-shaped and not unlike an Aztec's.
The eyes were informed by an eager bril-
lance. He had heap OF little paper
covered books in one hand and an extinct
cigar in the other. He placed the books
upon the breakfast-table.
'At last" he said. 'See. have got it

ant English Judaism has left to molder
while it pays its stupid reverends thousands
year for wearing white ties"

From among the mass of other papers
the professor unfolded with great care a
half dozen sheets of yellow, worn and
creased letter paper closely written over.

And while the reading is going on the

The visitor remarks that all the world is
wondering Just now of what the newly
discovered X-ray is composed-which the
professor himself had mentioned as being
the most wonderful of discoveries and a
demonstration of the truth of Cabbalistic
prophecy.
Putting his fnger to his nose he replies
