CHAPTER XXI.

The Last Resort of Kings and Men.
The sudden entrant upon a quarrel
between others is invariably at dis
advantage. Usually he is unaware
OF the cause of difference and general
ly he has no idea of the stage Of de-
velopment of the affair that has been
reached. Newbold suffered from this
lack of knowledge and to these dis
advantages were added others. For
instance, he had not the faintest idea
as to who or what was the stranger.
The room was not very light in the
day time. Armstrong happened to be
standing with his back to it at some
distance from the window by the side
of which Enid stood. Six years nat
urally and inevitably makes some diff
ference in a mans appearance, and it
is not to be wondered that at first
Newbold did not recognize the man be-
fore him as the original Of the face in
his wife's locket, although he had stud
led that face over and over again. A
nearer scrutiny longer study, would
have enlightened him of course, but
for the present he saw nothing but
stranger visibly perturbed on one side
and the woman he loved apparently
f1ercely resentful, stormily indignant,
confronting the other with an up
raised hand.
The man, whoever he was, had af-
fronted her, had aroused her indigna-
ton, perhaps had insulted her, that
was plain. He went swiftly to her
side, he interposed himself between
her and the man.
Enid he asked, and his easy use
of the name was a revelation and an
illumination to Armstrong, who is
this man, what has he done?"
It was Armstrong who replied. IF
Newbold were in the dark, not so he;
although they had never spoken, he
had seen Newbold. He recognized
him instantly, indeed, recognized or
not, the newcomer could be no 9TH

than he. There was doubtless no 9th
er man in the mountains. He had ex-
pected to find him when he approach
ed the hut and was ready for him.
To the fire of his ancient hatred and
jealousy was added a new fuel that
increased it's heat and fame. This
man had come between Armstrong and
the woman he loved before and had
got away unscathed; evidently he had
come between him and this new wo-
man he loved. Well, he should be
made to suffer for it this time and by
Armstrong; own hands. The in
slant Newbold had entered the room
Armstrong had thirsted to leap upon
him, and he meant to do it. One or
the other of them, he swore in his
heart, should never leave that room
alive,
But Newbold should have his chance.
Armstrong was as brave, as fearless,
as intrepid, as any man on earth.
There was much that was admirable
in his character; he would not take
any man at a disadvantage in an en-
counter such as he proposed. He
would not hesitate to rob a man Of his
wife if he could, and he would not
shrink from any deceit necessary to
gain his purpose with woman, for
good or evil, but he had his own ideas
Of honor, he would not shoot an en-
envy in the back for instance.
Singular peryersion, this, to which
some minds are liable! To take from
a man his wife by subtle and under
hand methods, to rob him Of that
which makes life dear and sweet
there was nothing dishonorable in
that! But to take his life, thing OF
infinitely less moment, by the same
process-that was not to be thought
of. In Armstrong; code it was right,
it was imperative, to confront q man
with the truth and take the consequent
ces; but to confront a woman with lie
and take her body and soul, if so be she
might be gained, was equally admir-
able. And there are other souls than
Armstrong; in which this moral in
consistency and obliquity about men
and women has Judgment!
Armstrong confronted Newbold
therefore, lustful Of battles; he yearn-
ed to leap upon him, his fingers itched

When a Hero Faltered
By ESTHER MILDRED GRAVES

George, for heavens sake, so. The
child will be lost"
George turned toward her q face
white with fear.
'Oh, George
This was ALL She saw that he was
terror stricken. A veteran at standing
up against shot and shell, he was n
raw recruit at meeting fire. She gave
spring and dashed mp the staircase.
The act Of his brave little wife was
needed to enable George Converse to
master constitutional weakness. Ida
had not reached the top step before
her husband Larted past her with the
cry go back" How he got through
the FIRE and smoke that intervened be-
tween him and his boy, why he was
not burned mortally by the one or
suffocated by the other, he nor any one
else ever knew. Reaching the room he
sought, knowing that he could not
bring the child out by the way he had
come. he cried to his wife:
go below the window
Ida ran down and out, seizing a
blanket by the way. In the yard she
found several neiShbors who had been
attracted by the fire. At the same mo-
ment George threw up a sash above.
Without a word those present seized
the blanket, and the boy was dropped
safely into 1t.
Az soon az George ConvsEss sav that
his son was safe he began to remem-
ber the fear Of flre that had paralyzed
him. 1t was nll gone. the shame he
felt only remaining. But one idea fill.
ed his mind-to wipe out the stain.
Jump" cried those below, holding
the blanket under the window.
George sat down on the window sill,
took pipe and n tobacco pouch from
his pocket, filed the pipe, lighted 1t
and began to puff us coolly as If there
were no IRE.
Jump" repeated the crowd. 'The
roof may fall at any moment"
I'm going back the way came" "
he said doggedly.
"If you do you are a dead man"
Then I'll be n dead man."
He turned from the window, but,
hearing the agonizcd call Of his wife,
bent over the sill. The look she gave
him told him that he had no need to
vindicate himself in her eyes, and lie
remembered that il he were lost she
would be left to continue TO support
herself and their children. He jumped
into the blanket.
From that moment George Converse
became an Industrious worker and
made his family happy and comforta.

Verses 14.-True benevolencc.
One Of the weaknesses Of the orien-

impressively exhibited in Hinduism,
In Buddhism and In Mohammedanism

Of men," The motive for showing
practical kindness must not be self

relief. DO not sound a trumpet"
Make no attempt to draw the atten-
tion Of any audience to your gener-

the custom for aims to be given at the
synagogue service. I'm the streets"
where a crowd of beggars can always
be gathered. ''They have their re-

is brought out in the translation, They

1t has already been received in the ap-
plause of the spectators. Indeed, this
was what they desired. True aims
