its own reward Love may feel itself
unworthy and may shrink even from
the unlatching of the shoe lace of the
beloved, yet it joys in its own exist
ence nevertheless. OF course its
greatest satisfaction is in the return,
but there is a sweetness even in the
despair of the truly loving.
Enid Maitland, however, did not
have to endure Indifference, or fight
against a passion which met with no
response, for this man loved her with
a love that was greater even than
her own The moon, in the trite aphor-
ism, looks on many brooks, the brook
sees no moon but the one above him
in the heavens. In one sense his
merit in winning her affection for him
self from the hundreds of men she
knew, was the greater; in many years
he had only seen this one woman.
Naturally she should be everything to
him. She represented to him not only
the woman but womankind. He had
been boy practically when he had
buried himself in those mountains,
and in all that time he had seen no
body like Enid Maitland Every ar
gument which had been exploited to
show why she should love him could
be turned about TO account for his
passion for her. They are not necess-
airy, they are all supererogatory, idle
words To him also love had been
born in an hour. 1t had flashed into
existence as If from the fiat of the
Divine.
Oh, he had fought against it. Like
the cremites of old he had been
scourged into the desert by remorse
and another passion, but time had
done its work The woman he first
loved had ministered not to the spir-
itual side of the man, or If she had
so ministered in any degree it was be-
cause he had looked at her with a
glamour of inexperience and youth.
During those five years of solitude. of
study and of reflection, the truth had
gradually unrolled itself before him.

In humanity two things in life are

That might have been overcome in
ishment, his resolution to withdraw
himself from man and woman until
such time as God completed his ex
piation and signified his acceptance OF
the penitent by taking away his life
held him inexorably.
The dark face of his wife rose be
fore him. He forced himself to think
upon her, she had loved him, she had
given him all that she could. He re-
membered how she had pleaded with
him that he take her on that last and
most dangerous of Journeys, her devo-
tion to him had been so great she
could not let him go out of her sight
a moment, he thought fatuously! And
he killed her. In the queer turmoil OF
his brain he blessed himself for every
thing. He could not be false to his
purpose, false to her memory, un-
worthy of the passion in which he be-
lieved she had held him and which
he believed he had inspired.
II he had gone out in the world,
after her death he might have forgot
ten most of these things, he might
have lived them down. Saner clear

seriousness would have been changed.
But he had lived with them alone for
five years and now there was no put
ting them aside. Honor and pride,
the only things that may successfully
fight against love, overcome him. He
could not give way. He wanted to,
every time he was in her presence he
longed to sweep her to his heart and
crush her in his arms and bend her
head back and press lips of fire on
her lips.
But honor and pride. held him back
How long would they continue to ex-
ercise dominion over him? Would
the time come when his passion ris-
ing like a sea would thunder upon
these artificial entertainments of his
soul, beat them down and sweep them
away?

situations, not so much upon account
of family or of property-the treas
ures of the mountains, hidden since
creation he had discovered and let lie
but because of the youth and posi-
ton of the woman compared to his
own maturer years. his desperate ex.
perience, and his social withdrawal
had reinforced his determination to
live and love without a sign. But he
had long since got beyond this. Had
he been free he would have taken her
like a viking of old. if he had to pluck
her from amid thousand swords and
carry her to beggars hut which love
would have turned to a palace. And
she would have come with him on the
same conditions.

PRESIDENT TAFT ACCEPTS NOMINATION IN SPEECH
 PLAYING SOCIALISTS

iout Constitution, which he asks 10 have upheld by the people.
 He reproVes in no mincinS words sensational newspapers, which as he asserts are trying to arouse the working people of America to wage war upon wealth. And he repudiates the practice of be- Hitting men of wealth and in- fluence, which is indulged in by most of the great newspap- Iers.
 One Of the most striking feat ures of the whole speech is the entire absence of any mention of Theodore Roosevelt. The name nor any direct reference to either the man or his poli- icies does not appear through the whole speech.
 Alaska's representative upon the notification committee was lafet Lindeberg.
 Washington, August 2-Par- ty leaders in discussing the ac- Iceptance speech of Taft assert that it is really a masterpiece. i It is believed by the majority that the keynote of the cam Ipaign as Mr. Taft would have it in his speech is the upholding of the constitution. The Presi- dents legal mind shudders at the thought of introducing any new features into the docn- ment that has stood the nation so well in hand since its birth.
