LETTER THE THIRD.
San StefanO. Mnrch


Dear Philip: | have just received
yours OF the 22d. You need have no
misgivings. never take offense at
what you say. You are the only
preacher whose homilies | can read
without WEAKNESS; besides, under any
other circumstances your warning let.
ter of remonstrance would have been
justified. AS il is, however, 1t is un.
necessary.
Let me begin by telling you that |
am leaving San Stefano this after
noon. Do you remember my brother
Arthur, in Ceylon, wanted me to go
out there some time ago and help him
in his tea plantation?
/ A day or two back | had another
letter from him. renewing the offer
and urging me if | could accept it to
l~start at once. He says be badly
needs assistance, and the proposals he
( makes are most generous So I'm of
to Genoa to-day to catch the steamer
| there.
/ / can't stay here any longer. love
her. Philip, honestly and truly, as /
have never loved before and believe
that she in her innocent heart has
come to care a little for me. Any
how. her mother came to me yester-
day and asked me if my attentions to
her daughter meant anything. Meant
anything! They only meant the
whole amount of pure and unselfsh
love that I'm capable of feeing-but
/ could not say that. | could not ask
her to allow her daughter to marry
me-could 1? You know something
Of what my life has been these last
few years. Why. I've hardly a decent
friend in the world save yourself. and
there is not single woman of my
acquaintance whom | could bear TO
see in the same room with her.
Even II could afford to marry
what sort Of a husband should | make
to sweet child like that? 1t is ter.
ribly true saying that one can't touch
mud without some of it sticking, and
have dabbled too freely in the miro
to escape being besmirched.
SO I'm going away. For once in my
life / shall have the satisfaction OF
knowing that I'm doing the straight
thing like TO think that my devo-
ton to her has kindled within me a
spark of something less base. some.
thing that my utterly selfish passions
have not altogether consumed. IL is
but a mere flicker, though; it will need
much tanning to glow with steady
flame.
Later write this at Genoa, where
/ have just arrived.
| saw her once again and said good (
by quite iestingiy and spoke lightly
Of our next meeting. God knows what
II cost me TO do so. There we're tears
in her eyes. Pbilip-tears because /
was leaving her.
It was hard then. but did not give |
way. She saw me last with a smile /
on my lips; no doubt she thinks I've /
a heart OF stone But II might make !
her more unhappy to think that | /
cared.
have not prayed for a score Of
years, but I think there was some
thing like a prayer in my heart as 1
drove away. A vague and shadowy
petition on her behalf, to the Giver Of
all good things. | don't suppose |
shall ever see her again.
Well. I'm on to Ceyion- Ny boat
