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
love that was greater even than
her own. The moon. in the trite aphor-
ism, looks on many brooks. the brook

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 a 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 II from the fat 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. OF If she had
so ministered in any degree 1t 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.
Conclusions vastly at variance with
what be had ever believed possible
as to the woman upon whom he had
first bestowed his heart, had got into
his being and we're in solution there;
this present woman was the precipitant
which brought them to life. He knew
now what the old appeal Of his wife
had been. He knew now what the
new appeal of this woman was.
In humanity two things in life are
inextricably intermingIed. body and
soul Where the function Of one be-
gins and the function OF the other
ends no one is able to say. In ali
human passions are admixtures of
the earth earthly. We are born the
sons Of old Adam as we are reborn
the sons OF the New. Passions are
complex As in harvest wheat and
tares grow together until the end, so
In love earth and heaven mingie ever.

When she had met him she had been

very greatly over their present feel

would be the use Of worrying over
those things? There was metal more

FIRST THINGS

The first noble of the English peer age was William Fitz-Osborne, who was made Earl of Hereford, by Will liam I, s56 years ago today. Other titles of nobility conferred soon after ward were Earl Of Salisbury, Walter d'Evreux; Earl of Derby, Henry de Ferrers; Earl of Northumberland Copsi and Earl of Chester, Gerodus Twenty-two other peers were created during the reign of this sovereign. The first peer created by patent was Lord Beauchamp of Holt Castle, by Rich ard II, in 1887 The first peer in Scot land was the Earl of Angus, the title conferred on GiIchrist by Malcolm III in 1037. In Ireland the first peer ere ated after the obtaining of that king dom by Henry II, was John de Courcy as Baron of Kinsale. The peers of Fn gland were first summoned to con- suit with their sovereign by royal writ in 1905. In the early days titles were usually conferred only for successes in warfare and statesmanship, but of late years numerous literary and sci entiic men have been elevated to the peerage.
