CHAPTER XXI.
Unreasoninq Passion

In all the vast world only two per-
sons knew that such a man as John
Burt lived-James Blake and Peter
Burt.
John Burt owned stock in thou
sands of miles of railroads. He was
an investor in other great enterprises
and activities. An army of men
worked under his direction, and the
stock market rose and fell at the pres
3ure of his unseen hand. For years
lie had rebelled at the fate which had
made him a recluse, which denied
hun the fellowship and confidence of
his peers. He felt keen joy over
the knowledge that the day was ap-
preaching when he could assume his
true place in the world of vast affairs.
But of earth's countless millions
there was one above all others to
whom he wished to tell his secret.
Ha impatiently awaited the time when
heS could look into Jessie Gardens
face and read the verdict in her eyes.
Were years of patient waiting and
working to be rewarded or unrequit

from there to a farm near bingham.

it strange. Mr.. Blake, that both OF us
are familiar with that out-of-the-way
country? Where was your fathers
farm?"
1T was then known as the old Leon
ard farm. Do you know where Peter
Burt lived-Peter Burt, the old crazy
man who used to pray at night from
the top of the big rock?"
"Yes," said Jessie softly. with lit

James Blake was not deceived by
! the careless tone in which she asked

either mislead Jessie Garden or prove
false to his friend; but for the first

aware of the prodigious amount of lit.

His most curious and eccentric book
was entitled primitive Physic; or, An
Easy and Natural Method of Curing
Most Diseases" 1t was published in
London by Barr G Co. in the year
1743.
The preface is characteristic of the
author. when man came first out of
the hands of the Creator there was
no place for physic or the art of heal

the Sovereign of heaven and earth the

sion. Ho had not yet reached point
where. with calm sclfishncss he could
voice the brutal nphorism OF moral
and physical dcsperadoes: "All Is
fair in love and war;" He was eager
to clear himself of self.accuscd dis.
loyalty to John Burt. and he clutched
mt any defense which would serve as
possible Justification or extenuation.
John Burt was his friend. the found.
er OF his fortunes: tho loyal. trustful
comradc to whom he owed all he was
or could hope to be. Blake knew this.
and yet, with the truth confronting
him and pleading for justice, tho So
phistic arguments and evasions of a
vaulting passion came readily to his
lips.
How do I know John loves her? ?"
he pleaded. 'He has not told me so.
He has sent her no word. He could
have done SO easy enough. She does
not know II he be dead or alive. Is
that the way for lover to act? II
John has lost her 1t is his own fault.
Perhaps he gave her up long ago.
Honestly, believe his hate for Nor
ris is more to him than his affection
for Jessie Garden"
Thus quibbled James Blake. Awak.
ered love loosens million eloquent
tongues to plead for self. and palsies
the voice which should speak for 9TH
ers. The love of man for woman
is the sublimation OF his egoism; his
unconscious exaltation of desire.
