Endelig bod Roxy Konen Farvel og rakte
Nancy Haanden. Nancy tog den og holdt den ct
0jeblik, mems hendes Ansigt fortrak sig, og hendes
hele Legeme skelvede. Hun f6lte sin egen Yd-
mygelse dybt, mems hun stadig mere beundrede
Roxy, og hun havde EN- nesten dyrisk Lyst til at
bliye kelet for, som var blevet endnu langt storre,
siden hun f6lte sig som ct Udskud.

og stammede wilde De we're ked af at kysse

1 dette 0jeblik erindrede Roxy de Ord, som
Whitaker hayde sagt til hende ON Morgenen: der
er ingen Forbud mod at prove paa at vere saa til
giyende og saa god som Gud'', men hendes rene
Kvindesind holdt hende tilbage fra den syndige
Pige ct 0jeblik. En- F9lelse af den Uret, hun sely
havde lidt, steg OPP hende. Men hun gentog for
sig selv Ordene: ,,tilgivende, som Gud tilgiver, ;"
og sluttede Nancy sine Arme. Denne gred og
hulkede paa hendes Skulder. Stakkels uvidende
S%kabning, som hun var, omtumlet af Lidenskabens
Storm, men dog til sidst modtagelig for den code
Indflydelse, der kom til hende gennem hendes FG-
lelser, gennem Skam og Nederlag og Tilgivelse og
Befrielse.

,,Jeg Wide enske, De yilde'', sagde Roxy.

Nancy.
,Ja, det vii VIZ, sagde Roxy og red hjemad
mod den anden Del af sin Opgave. Hun var tract
og udmattet af Anstrengelse og Sindsbeyagelse. AT
og til paa den LANCE Ridetur gjorde hendes HJerte
Oprer, fordi hun havde omfavnet Nancy. Men
hun gentog we'd sig selv: ,,Hvad I have gjort mod
en- af disse, have I gjort mod mig" Hun havde
ofte we'd Vekkelsesmeder bedt Mennesker ON at
fayne Kristus. Men selv nu al hendes aandelige
Nedtrykthed lyste det for hende, at hun aldrig
saa fuldelig havde favnet Kristus, som da hun tog

Roxys T~ilbagekomst.

Efter Wittakers natlige Beseg havde Mark
veret travlt beskeftiget med at ordne sine Sager,
s9 at han kunde forbade Landet. Den samme
Torsdag Formiddag kom hans Svoger Barlow dels
for at besSge Mark, men hovedsagelig fordi han
haabede at kobe Garden med Poplerne til haly
Pris. Og Fredag og Lerdag havde Mark vgret
traylt beskeftiget. bet var ON Natten, naar For
retningskravene hvilede, at han fSlte sig elendig
og fortvivlet. En- ung og ~ergerrig Mand lever i
Fremtiden og en- nydelsessyg Mand Nutiden. Men
Marks Fremtid var ~pludselig bleyen til intet.

Han MATTE 10 vide, at Tidens Lob Wide Byen

blew boende der. Men Elendigheden we'd hans nu-
verende Udelukkelse og Vanere, var ham alt for
hard til, at han skulde treste sig we'd Folks frem-
tidige Glemsomhed. Folk samledes Kirkerne,
men han turde like gaa ind af Frygt for at bliye
stirret paa som en- Esau, der har solgt sin F9rste-

bet var med den Slags triste Tanker, at han

Han besluttede at Sc hende igen EN- eneste Gang.
Kaprifolierne voksede omkring Vinduet som for
tire Aar siden. Han valgte dette Gavlvindue, hvor-
til saa mango Minder knyttede sig. Han saa ivrig
ind at Vinduet. Hun sad foran ham, bleg, mayer

saa er at dadle. 0g nu har jeg sat mig for at for.

Onde for os a~llesammen".
rHvilken Kvinde, du er!'' udbrgd Mark. Der
'er like den Mand i Verden, der er verdig til at

lagde Hovedet ned paa Bordet og tav.
Efter nogen It'd spurgte han: ,Hyilken AT

,,Det er bedst like at tale derom nu, Mark.
Kan du like overlade Diet til mig?' sagde Roxy.
oJeg vii overlade alt til Dig, sagde Mark.
ia, saa er hele Sagen / Orden, Mark, hvis
du vii tilgive mig?" sagde Roxy.
sJeg tilgivel" raabte Mark.
,Ja, du maa tilgive mig, at jeg var saa streng
imod dig og hjalp F%ristelsen i Stedet for at hjal-
pc dig, sagde Roxy.
oAa, sig Diet like tiere'', udbr6d Mark. ,Hvis
du taller ON, at jeg skal tilgive dig, saa gaar jeg
fra Forstanden"
,Saa maa du tilgive Nancy, sagde Roxy.
,,Jeg kan let nok tilgive hende, hvad jeg har
ldt, for Diet kan visit omtrent gaa lige OPP, er ieg
bange for. Men Diet er f~rygteligt at tenke sig hen

ge Diet. Jeg er like den, der har Ret til at gaa /
Rette med nogen Synder paa Jorden. Jeg kunde
tilgive Dj9velen, at han er en- Djnvel efter alt,
hvad jeg har gjort."
Men du maa tilgive dig selv", sagde Roxy.
,,Du og jeg kan like bygge wort Liy OPP sammen,
hvis du oliver we'd at tenke saadan. Du maa haa-
be paa Diet bedste, ellers bliver Diet kun ct usselt
Liv, vi faar. Jeg har tenkt Diet altsammen igen-
mem i Dag. Jeg vii gerne, at du skal prove at
tilgiye dig selv for min Skyld'.
Mark svarede like.
Her har jeg nu ellers siddet lenge, Mand,
med min Hat paa. Og du har like givet mig ct
Kys eller 6nsket mig velkommen HEM, sagde
Roxy.
,,Elsker du mig like, Mark?"
Efter en- Pavse syarede Mark langsomt:
,Nej, Roxy, jeg TOR like vove at sige, at jeg
elsker dig; men Gud alene we'd, hvor jeg tilbeder
dig. Jeg kunde kaste mig paa Kne for dig. Jeg
Wide gerne vere din Slave.
MEN Diet bryder jeg mig like om", sagde
Roxy nasten ~utaalmodigt. ,Hvis du like kan til
give dig selv saa meget, at du kan we're noget mere
end Diet, saa MATTE jeg lige saa gerne like vere
kommen'.
Roxy reiste sig OPP og stod nu we'd Bordet lige
over for Mark. Han stettede endnu Hovedet
mod Bordet. Han rakte Haanden I'D og forte hen
des Fingerspidse til sine Leber og kysede dem
after og after.
