elbow can you ask! Is 1t so light
thing to help ever so little to set

Griswold's laugh was almost harsh.

quickly. 81 understood him better
than that-better than I have made
you understand him. He was not a

Griswold's blood, which had been
slowly turning to ice in his veins, be-
gan to thaw out again at that.
"Then you don't condemn him ut
terly? You are willing to admit that
his own conscience may have acquit-
ted him?''
II am very sure that it did; or,
at least. am sure that his own
point of view was so obscured by
what he had suffered that he could
not rightly see the guilt of the thing
he had DONE"
"But you saw the guilt of it?"
'How could help seeing it?"
True. There is no excuse for
him.
81 shouldn't say that. There may
be many excuses for him."
''But no justifcation?" He tried
hard to make the saying of it an
impersonal abstraction, succeeding

note of despairing eagerness.
certainly not. Nothing could ius-
tify such deed of lawlessness."
1t was as he had prefgured. Her
womanly pity had in it the quality
of mercy. 1t went out toward the
lawbrealler as the divine compassion
enfolds even the impenitent sinner.
But her conscience arraigned and
condemned him.
He bowed his head and went dumb
before the woman who had judged
him; but when he would have
changed the subject he found it
mightier than his will to break away
from it.
"Your verdict is doubtless that of
the world" he said. 'And from
what you tell me I fancy the end
is in sight,
ooh! Do you think SOP" she
quavered, and her voice, and the
tears in it. were of womanly incon-
sistency.
Surely. This man Griffin has
made long step on the way to the
end. When he discovers the identity
of the man who talked to you on
the Belle Julie, the world won't be
big enough for the fugitive to
hide inn
She caught her breath in a little
gasp. 'And it was 1 who set the
hunt upon him; not only once, but
twice."
Then it was Griswold forgot his
peril and turned comforter. "You
mustn't grieve about it," he said,
gently. you have done no more
than your plain duty. He made you
do it in the first instance; he would
have made you do it in the second
if he could have known the circum-
stances"
She turned upon him quickly and
he dared not look into her eyes.
"How do you know he did that?"
she queried; and though he would
not trust himself to look, he felt all
that he might have seen if he had

CHAPTER XIV.

In after time Griswold could never
satisfactorily account for the i'm
pulse which sent him to wander aim
lessly through the deserted streets
of the town after leaving DR.. Farm
hams and parting from the other
dinner guests.
But this night the thought of Mrs.
Holcomb's and the quiet room was
curiously repugnant, and so he
roamed, like any vagrant, far and
wide, drifting at length to the rail-
way crossing and beyond, and COM
ing to some sense of the actualities
only when he found himself in the
neighborhood of the iron works.
AT this he would have turned back.
Since the closing of the works the
plant had been guarded nightly;
first by the inner circle of deputies,
and later by an outer Gordon of the
striking workmen. This outer guard
had latterly been maintained in re-
liefs and made continuous, ostensibly
to show the good will of the strik-
ers and their readiness to protect
the property; but really. as Girls
void knew, to forestall any move on
the part of himself and Ray1ner to
supply the places of the men with
imported labor.
1t was chance collision with this
outer guard that brought Griswold
alive to the actualities. Two men
| stepped out of the shadow of tree
and halted him. But at the word
one of them recognized him.
ooh, it's you, Mr.. Griswold. Beg
pardon, sir, but you see we have to
be sort O. careful"
Griswold's smile was openly cyni-
cal. "Your carefulness is a good
bit overdue, Martin. 1t should have
begun before you made this sense
less strike"
Now the man Martin was in some
sort leader among the discomfort
ed workmen. and he asked nothing
better than chance to argue the
point with one of the bosses.
"There's two sides to. that, Mr.
Griswold, and you hain't seen but
one. You don't know what it means
to earn your bread from day to day
like we do"
"Don't -" said Griswold, smiling
again, this time without the Gym.
icism. perhaps 1 don't. and again
perhaps 1 do. You're an older man
than I am, Martin, but I'll venture tc
say that I've gone lacking more
meals in year than you have in
your whole lifetime
The man was silenced for mo-
ment, but presently found tongue
again.
"Then what makes you so tarna
ton hard on us fellows?" he de-
manded. eff you've known what q

"About what?"

lows that helped earn the money to
build it ought to have some little

Now this was one of the founda
ton stones in Griswold's theories
and in his book; that the laborer is
entitled, not to dividend share in
| the product of his labor, but to the
entire product. But as yet he was
only broad enough to lay down the

Greek Monks, Belief.

1t is firm belief of the eastern
monks of the Greek church that God
will not allow a monastery to be
burned. When the Russian monas-
terry of st. Pantelcmon, at Mount
Athos, was burned a few years ago,
the Greeks, who constitute the great
majority of the 5000 monks on the
peninsula, maintained that their Rus
sian brethren had brought the calam-
ity on themselves, because they had
fire engines and extinguishers, and
did not trust wholly in God. Now
the neighboring Greek monastery of
st. Paul, which had no fire engines,
has recently been utterly destroyed
by fire. 1t is said that the monas-
terry of st. Paul was the only one at
Mount Athos which has ever been
visited by woman. The wife of a
British ambassador landed from her
yacht one day on its tiny pier and
insisted on entering the church. In
consequence the monks, relieving
each other by relays, for 40 days and
nights maintained continuous serv-
ice of prayer to purify the church
from this communications Y.

on for 1t,

An old soldier belonging to we'll
known line regiment had gained the
unenviable reputation of being known
as 'sting," or, in other words, one
who comfortably manages to live on
another's pay, relates London Spare
Moments.
Pay day having come and gone,
things looked rather blue for him
when the time for opening the can
teen arrived. But not for long; he
soon espied his bed chum not far
away, and, calling him over, he en-
gagged him in conversation, finsxly per-
suading Paddy-a recruit, by the way
to sell pair of pants, saying it was
foolish to have more kit about one than
necessary.
Accordingly Pat went to his room,
and, providing himself with a new
pair of pants, returned and gave them
to the man, who forthwith proceeded
to dispose of them.
Needless to say, an enjoyable evening
followed, and on leaving the canteen
the 'sting" Remarked:
you're good boy, Pat, and I'll

"Och, you need not bother" said
Pat. "Sure, it's your own pants We
