swer and she walked slowly toward
the door. There she turned and looked
back at him He was looking out Of
the window gravely. His face, thin
and pale, ennobled in every line by
suffering and service, seemed to her
for moment to be more than earthly
in it's beauty and power She hesitated.
What she was renouncing began to be
(dimly made real to her. And yet to
lose the things
Slowly she turned her bca'. and
opened the door, stepped out Into the
hall, shut the door and went down into
the library. With sense Of relief she
found the room empty and quietly
went out Of the archway and back to
her fathers house.
But the man that she had left had
cried her name just as she closed the
door. It was just one cry. Then he
struggled down upon his knees, and
for 4 time his soul beat about in the
dark for help, crying and sobbing in it's
poor human weakness over what was
gone. Finally God drew near and COM
forted him When he got up again, he
felt something like sudden illumira-
ton Of his spirit. This woman-was
she not right? How could two walk to-
gether except they were agreed? Ccald
love hesitate or doubt or be uncer-
tain over the future and be love? Did
he care for a heart that must be driven
to his by force or lured to it by pity?
Was the hunger Of life ever satisfied
with the husks Of reality? Up from
the lowly place Of his spirits depres-
sion he rose step by step until he rested
MS affections in his growing fate that
the future would satisfy him with q
human love that knew no such thing as
doubt or fear.
During the day that followed this
growing strength that looked into the
future with confidence he had several
interviews with friends who came to
Hope House to congratulate him on his
recovery and talk over the work Of the
settlement.
Among these callers one day was Mr..
Marsh.
Gordon" ne said frankly after be
had expressed his interest in the pro
posed use Of the property he had turned
over to the settlement, L am deeply
sorry that you and Luella have decided
to so your ways apart. She needs just
your strength. She is going to lead q
life of ainless effort"
1T is best as it is, sir" Gordon had
answered.
There is no possibility Of any recon
ciliation, then:'
NO; we have not quarreled; we have
simply understood There can be no
other way for her or me-
Il am sorry" Mr.. Marsh sighed.
"She needed you, and so Go r."
He spoke wistfully. Gordon read in
it whole history Of human weakness,
struggling up toward light and
strength.
He put his hand into the older mans.
IF my friendship is Of any value to
you, Mr.. Marsh, you have it,
Marsh went away, and Gordon mused
over his future. How far would the
man use his wealth, his education, his
responsibility, to help the weak and
overcome his horror of humanity's sin
and trouble because he learned to love
instead Of temble?
Paul Falmouth was a welcome visit
OF. he was much encouraged over the
results Of the city campaign.
'I learned my share from it." he SAID
