CHAPTER TX.
Latent Passions


The three years which had elapsed
had made a vast change in the rela.
lions between the man and the woman.
In the beginning and for a long time
hers had been the dominant position
So absolutely had she ruled that ia
him she had been as a god. So en-.
tirely had he obeyed that to her he
had been a devotee. Once she discoV.
cred his ductility and had begun to
teach him, the relationships had com.
menced to change. Gradually each had
recognized the humanity of the other.
Together students they had naturally
approached a common level. Every
new knowledge she impaired to him
was an abdicatlon of some of her su.
premacy. Every new knowledge he ac-
quired was an inspiration to her high
level.
Three years is short time in the
educational life of a human being,
but she brought to her side of what
was slowly developing into an equa.
ton the highest training, a natural
ability to impart what she knew, an
absolute devotion to the endeavor and
an entire freedom from other interests.
So fascinating had the experiment
been that she had scarcely missed the
rest of the world. l wonder II he had
been a woman instead of a man if

learned to write, although he knew
what writing was, for she had ex
planned It to him, and had made shift
to teach him the Arabic letters. She
also taught him geography, astronomy
natural sciences, and above all, his
tory. She unfolded the kingdoms OF
this world and the glory Of them be
fore his vision, touching lightly, as has
been the fashion Of such unfolders
upon the misery and the shams. His
was a singular knowledge indeed
There were some things about which
she was reticent, being a woman, and
some things she could not tell him at
all; but being a man, with imagina.

things the more-for these were some

ture!
But the change in the relations be-
tween the two we're not greater than
the change in the woman heTEelf. She
was no longer a philosopher. That
which she had disdained, she admired !;
that which she had abhorred, she loved /;
that which she had refused, she ac-
cepted. She was a Christian in belief
as last. Alone, or practically so, face
to face with God in his world, God in
His Book, God in humanity, her spe-
cious ideas of life and her relationship
to 1t had broken down. She had
learned to kneel beside that man and
pray. She had learned to seek else
where than in herself for power to
enable her to live her life and fulfill
her tasks.
She had not wished to be a Chris
tlan. She had fought against it, strug-
gled with 1t, agonized over it, but a
compelling necessity was upon her.
The convictions Of her conversion tore
the veil from before her face, dispelled
the mist that hung about her. She
saw herself as she was, a woman who
under the influence of wrong ideas,
false conceptions, had branded herself
forever. No. not in the eyes of that

that absorption would have resulted

On his part, he brought to bear upon
developed, an intellect which although
entirely unframed was unusually
acute, a faculty of acquiring knowl-
edge as great as was her ability to i'm
part it and a reasoning capacity which
kept pace with his other qualities. In
deed, the main thing with which she
had to contend at first was his lack Of
application, But SO soon as he had
learned enough to enable him to rea-
lie the Importance of learning more
she had no trouble on that score. It
was as II a mature mind had been
brought to bear upon the problems Of
adolescence. He grappled with things
in that way. Whatever she taught him,
he learned, he mastered all; and the
mastery inspired him to learn more.
His mnemonic ability was prodigious;
for all the years of his life he had not
been storing up the Insignificant, the
immaterial, the unnecessary, in his
brain cells. He remembered all that
she taught him with unvarying accu-
racy. His was a powerful, vigorous
mentality which had known nothing
and upon which she wrote what abe
pleased. To the judgment of man
he added the receptivity and ductility

speak and then to read; then rudi-

In whispered tones that he was hard

Thinks Of His Material Wealth.
We see the man; we see him every
day; we hear his praise in every
breath. He is a land owner, and that
gives position and dignity; he has
large possessions, and the harvest has
been good; he feels there is a neces-
sity for plans for enlargement. He

friend who has rapidly acquired
wealth, and still bends his thoughts

acquire is about him. AS he sits alone
he thinks Of the days labor, and his
thought goes out over his life; he
thinks of his plans and work and of
the results, and Is well satisfied. What
shall he do? His business is crowd

conception Of life was that 1t consist

He chose wealth and worked for it.
Jesus said, and all experience says,
that mans life does not consist in
the abundance of the things which one

piled to him, II she would be there to
see She found herself praying for
affirmation in both matters. Her be-
lief in him would only be belief
founded upon hope until he had been
tried. There was a doubt about him
that must be resolved; she must re.
solve it. She could never be satisfied,
in spite Of her belief, until she had
done so. The very fact that she
thought so keenly upon the subject;
that she was so interested and en-
crossed in the situation was evidence
to her that she cared more for the
man than she had dreamed 1t possible.
And what of him? For once her in
tuition failed her. She wanted to see
him tested and tried; she wanted to
see him tempted and triumphant, but
he was all Of that in those very hours
in which she fancied him so unthink
ing. 1t never occurred to her that he
might entertain an earthly passion for
her. She still, from ancient habit, be-
lieved herself so far above him that
such an ambition would have been lit
tie less than sacrilege to him. She
lulled herself to sleep with that idea.
| She believed, she knew, of course,
that all that was needed was a sug.
gestion from her. To love is the lot
Of man. This man had seen no other
than her. If she said the word, it
would be accomplished. She held
the only key to his heart; her hand
could unlock 1t on the instant. She
forgot the master key and the Master
Hand.
He had controlled that strange
trembling that used to take him wheA
ever he touched her, but she could
feel his pulse beat and throb when by
chance there was any contact even
of the casual between them. Some
times he had asked her strange ques-
tons which she had put by, and some
times she caught him looking at her
in strange ways that sent the blood to
her skin, and sometimes turned her
pale Yet she lived in the FOOLS para
disc. She did not awake to the posi-
bilities of that which she had made
him because her apprehension of him
had not kept pace with his apprehen.
sion Of her. To her he was still in
some degree the creature that he had
been and sometimes she thought upon
her growing love for him with a feel
ing of shame as if it were conde-
scension, derogation.
She did not know what blood was
leaping in the veins of the man and
how he taught himself, because she
had instilled in him honor and de-
cency and Christlike self control, to
repress these things. She did not
know how much faster he had learned
certain things than she had intended.
She did not know how instinctiveIy
he had leaped to conclusions which
she imagined were still latent in his
mind. This was a good man, this
] was an honest man, this was a gen.
tleman, this was a Christian man.
There was no question about his faith.
1t was as simple and abiding as it was
sincere. The early Christians who
had been brought in personal touch
with the Master and his men were
not more faithful, acceptant and de-
voted. Yet this was q very human
man in spite Of all these things, a
man of splendid vigor and health with
all mans impulses, hopes, dreams
and aspirations. And he loved her.
