its lights and bearings the informa-
tion that had been given to him. He
tortured himself by the deliberate
slow recalling of every detail, and
then, quivering as If under the stimu-
lus of some blow upon raw wound,
he reviewed his own conduct. Enlight-
enment came to him in that dark and
silent hour. He discovered first of all
that he loved her; that the check and
counter-check and variation and alter
alton in his emotions had been swept
away in great development of a
more transcending feeling. If she
should ask him that question on the
morrow as to whether he loved her
as he had on that never-to-be-forgot-
ten night, he would still answer no,
because he loved her more.
And then he discovered that he
wanted her more than he had ever de-
sired her before: that she was more
necessary to him than ever he had
dreamed she would be; that here was
no question of honor or duty, indeed,
but OF love, overwhelming, obsessing.
And then he admitted that she was
purity. even holiness itself; that he,
had behaved to her like a cur; that
he had been neither grateful, nor kind,
nor tender, nor loving. He began to
wonder fearfully If, after having
failed 80 egregiously and terribly,
there was any possible chance that she
could ever care for him again. Fate
had brought her into intimate contact,
he realized. with two men. One had
treated her outrageously in the be-
ginning and had nobly made amends.

HOW EASTER IS FIXED.
II Must he First Sunday After Four
teenth Day of Calendar Moon.

IL Must he First Sunday After Four
teenth Day of Calendar Moon.
Whether Easter falls in chilly
March or sunny April Is question of
Importance, to every holiday maker.
The earliest day on which Easter can
fall is March 90, says the London Ex-
press. Only once in the last century,
and not once in this century, was this
early date Easter day. Twice in the
nineteenth century 1t fell on March %
and this will be the date only once In.
the present century-in the year 1918.
The latest possible Easter day, is
April 25. This was the, date once in
the last century and will be once In
the present-in 1943 Five weeks sep
orate these extremes, SO that the ques.
tion of date involves about two hours
of daylight and considerable differ
ence In temperature. Most Casters
fortunately will happen in April. Dur
ing the next twenty years there will
be sixteen April casters and only four
In March.
Originally the Christian Easter was
the same day as the Jewish feast OF
the Passover. but in early ChriAtian
times change was made. The Pass
over is the 14th day of the Paschal
moon and Easter was fixed as the first
Sunday after the 14th day.
The fixing Of the day is compli-
Gated and difficult process. 1t must
follow the vernal equinox, and SD the
solar year has to be taken into ac-
count. 1t must follow the fourteenth
day of the Paschal moon, and conse-
quently the lunar month has to be con-
sidered, and with these conditions the
days of the week have to be recon
ciled. as Easter day must be a Sun
day.
The rule observed is that Easter
ehail.be the first Sunday following the
fourteenth day Of the calendar moon,
which happens on or after March 81.
This calendar moon is not the real
moon Of the heavens, but an imagin-
AIRY moon, created for ecclesiastical
purposes.
Nor is March 81 always the date of
the vernal eq'-inox. 1t is usually the
goth and sometimes the 10Th. The
date of Easter is therefore quite arti-
fetal. i
On the date of Easter most of the
great church festivals depend. The
beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, is
determined by the date of the end,
Easter Sunday, and so is Whitsunday.

The Repentance That Came Too Late.
For the first time In his life the man
Of the island played the coward. He
was afraid to be alone. The others,
the officers Of the ship, that is, not
Langford-he had gone back, to his
own yacht, declining the captains in
vitation to dinner-would have re-
spected the islanders mood and have
left him to himself. but It was evi-
dent that he craved their isociety.
Whitaker and the old chaplain sus-
pected how it would be with him, but
they knew that sooner or later he
would have to retire to rest. and soon
ser or later he would be alone.
And then his grief was so obvious,
that in accordance with natural and
commendable tendency they strove to
cheer him up. They encouraged him
to ask questions, They told him
many things in reply that the woman
could not have told him; that he had
half dimly suspected, but had not
known. They cleared up to him many
things which had seemed mysterious
and strange to him
And on their part they marveled at
the things he did know, at the thor
ioughness with which he had been
taught, and at the wonderful acute
ness Of perception which he displayed.
The woman had marveled at it, too,
but she had become used to 1t in three
years OF intimacy. They saw 1t Inn
mediately with greater surprise.

long hours passed until the striking
