the defence did not want the CONVEX

The defendant became irritated at
the questions of the district attorney

OF the things he said yesterday because
he was tired out. The witness assert

Do We Love More Than Once
Confnuei tpm
Continued from page 4

with the world now is that it does not love
enough. It is the only solution to the everyday
problems"
"Oh, yes" said the Bishop quietly, "love is
necessary on all lines, and the first line is the
sweet love between man and woman"
The kind the Greeks meant when they said
that two people could be made mad over each
other only by the inspiration of god, said
the Dreamer.
I'VE may not be mad twice." put in the Bur
gomaster; but we are certainly other things
twice. The human heart to is like vast
inn, where many come and go and but few
tarry. And l very much doubt if one ever
mains permanently.
The Bishops Summary
THE Bishop was quiet. A fine gravity had
settled on his face. The perfume of the
roses was strong and sweet. I took one from
head and regarded us kindly. His eyes had the
faraway expression of one dealing with some
large abstract issue.
when we are young" he said at last,
1--WE cherish the poetic illusion that we love but
once. We seem to have some exalted view of life
and time that recognizes only years going on
serenely without break. Nothing else occurs
to us. All is untried and all is therefore posi-
ble This is beautiful and in its place at the
time but is it to be verified as we grow older9
Never! Life as we dream it and life as we live
it are two different things. / want to deal only
with the man meet in the street every day. l
want to get down to bedrock and see him as he
is, and not as he dreamed or l dreamed-that
he would be! And the man meet in the street
every day is above all very dependent being.
Life is so full of twists for him that it takes
every minute for him to be able to get just
what he get, without holding outfor what
he wants to get. And sometimes there is an
awful desolation which sweeps over him, aw
full sense of the futility of it ALL awful 1oneli
ness both outer and inner-and along comes
some sweet woman, and the whole world is
changed for him! He has fallen in love, and he
sees everything with different eyes. Life is no
longer incomplete. 1t is worth while. The des-
olation is gone Wastes that have been barren
blossom like the rose. He is spurred to some
mighty achievement. He himself is going to
do and be!'
The Bishop spoke so earnestly that without
knowing it we found ourselves leaning forward
on the table elbows, listening breath
1ess1y. The light shining direct
faces brought out racial features only,-high
cheekbones, shape of the eye socket, line of the
chin. All the little things of life fell away from
us.
The scent of the white rose in my hand thrust
itself upon me very insistently. The odor
transported me to some far away fairy realm.
The wind whispered softly in the trees outside.

sand times to keep a man in love-why, then
let him love thousand times. There is nothing
that gives such feeling of strength and sup
port as warm personal love. And human
beings are weak at the best. They go right on
making mistakes every day, and that is what
makes them human beings. They would be
gods if they did not. But, ah! they need props,
and they need guidance and they need some
thing to sustain them, and they get lonely
and that is where love does its great work for
them. 1t makes somebody believe in them and
depend on them, and then they believe in them
selves, and that is the time they do some good
in the world"
"Bravo!" said the Burgomaster at seems
to me you are getting down to fundamental
facts"
We'll, it is so, answered the Bishop gently.
1T is wonderful thing when people get it
into their heads that they are not going to make
any more mistakes. Love transforms every
thing. 1t makes man believe that he is going
to be wise and that he is going to be good and
that he is never going to make mistakes again
and that IS very, very good thing for him
and everybody else
But don't you think love is greatly over
estimated?" asked the Burgomaster. "Of
course there are worse things man might do
than fall in love. / am bound to admit that
AS occupation it certainly keeps one very
busy; but need it keep quite so busy and
in just such way? All sorts of wild and foolish
things are done in its name"
Il am not speaking OF those emOt1OnS WHICH
merely borrow the name of love temporary
LABEL" responded the Bishop. 81 am talking
of genuine affection"
Loves Selfshness
A H, but Lowell" replied the Burgomaster,
shaking his head in negation. You mean
jealousy and selfishness do you not? For that
is what it seems to be nine times out of ten. 1t
wants, wants, wants, all the time, and it always
wants for self! There is foggy haze of feeling
that comes to all of us when young,
which we call love. But why could it not be
garded merely some mental disease from
which we shall soon recover? 1t is not to be
given medicine, of course; but might we not
say to it, Well, know you are here, and you are
most remarkably uncomfortable; but l know
that sometime you will go away, and it is a
question merely of keeping quiet until you do ?"
Even the Bishop smiled. LAS mental atti-
tude that is all right and very superior" he
said; but you have to deal with things as they
are and not as you able to perceive they
should be-"
The Dreamer looked up at the Burgomaster
scornfully. His blue eyes blazed red with some
inward fire. Throw everyone of your books
out of the window he said. Throw every
one out! And at the same time eliminate all
that has made the world beautiful since time
began! Then reconstruct life with love left out!
What have you? Where is the song, and the
poem, and the picture? Where is the dream
for which men have given their red blood?
Where is the dream for which men have given
their life? Why, man, to dethrone love would
be universal calamity! The only real trouble

is that a person named Cook about a
century ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-one. To avert
this he built high tower and shut his
son in the topmost room with the in
tention of secluding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by ac-
cident a viper was taken up in fagot
to the room to light the fire. and 1t

was called Cooks Folly, and that Is Its
