When he finally came downstairs. he
found no one in the house. At nrst ne
felt strangely oppressed. Afterward ne
felt relieved. He had chosen his life,
as he had said, and his choice had seri-
ously begun. AS he laid his hand on
the door to open it the consciousness
of his uncertainty regarding Luella
Marsh swept out of his thought even
the sense that he was actually bidding
goodby to the home he had known for
thirty years. Would this woman he
loved as never in all his life before
would she choose the life he had
chosen? She was rich, or her father
was. She was gifted. an aristocrat by
birth and training, woman OF strong
and original personality. with many
impulses not yet known even to John
Gordon. He was almost startled at the
sudden realization that he was in igno-
rance concerning her actual character
"a far AZ the present crisis was con-
cerned. Yet he knew that according
to her answer now would depend the
shaping of his own future. They had
become engaged while he was in his
last year at the university. Then he
had gone abroad, and their correspond
ence had evidently deepened their re-
spect and affection. He had written
her of his religious experience-not in
detail, but her answers had apparently
satisfied him. His choices, ambitions.
longing for service. had all followed so
unanimously on the event of his reli-
gious crisis that he had not ventured
to say to her in letters what he had
begun to experience as profound con-
viction. Every moment now. there
fore, he felt with growing astonish-
ment, confronted him with an unknown
problem, although the woman in all
the world to him was at the heart of
all that was great and possible.
He opened the door and stepped out.
The roar of the city smote his senses
with new meaning as he went down
the steps and entered the stream of the
city's life. He would go at once to
Luella Marsh. Whatever it was to be
for him, suspense was not bearable.
Hitherto he had emphasized his own
| love for her. Henceforth he must know
| to what extent she loved him, for hui
| mainly had now become part of the
creed of his life, and the woman who
was to share all with him must love
humanity as well as-himself. The
| people-he was one Of them now.
| Would she love him as such, or would
| she cling to the traditional seltshness
of her position?
Thus John Gordon, as he turned his
back on his fathers house, faced his
| future as the human current bore him
on, its destiny irreyocably woven into
! his own.

been talking to Luella Marsh for sew
eral minutes His face also was grave,
almost solemnly so, but there was a
growing expression of uneasiness upon
It as she turned her head toward her
lover.
81 think so-yes," she said slowly.
I'm other words, you mean no." said
John Gordon, smiling slowly.
Luella Marsh returned the smile and
then became instantly grave again.
81 would like to ask you a few more
questions. May I?'
"Of course"
"Then don't know that am quite
clear in my mind as to your exact rea-
sons for leaving your own home. Will
you try to make me understand that"
"Luella"- He paused, and for the
frst time fear grew upon him that
he was going to fail to make her un-
derstand the real crisis in his life.
Was this the attitude Of the woman
who could prove to be the companion
he would need? Would she hesitate
and demand all these proofs and rea-
sons, all these explanations2 And yet
he felt the need Of her. She had thus
far satisfied him, and as he faced her
now there was only one prayer in his
heart, and that was that she would
finally cast in her lot with his and say:
"Where thou goest will go. Thy peo-
pie shall be my people and thy God
my God"
He began his explanation while Lu-
ella leaned her chin on her hand and
watched him with deepening serious
ness.
