wish must be his, or else every victory
he had ever gained would be swept
aside and made of no value. He must
accomplish. or die!
He was without God, this man; he
had nothing within him which con-
coded, for moment, greater power
than his own. In all his mental i'm

who excused their lack of strength by
ascribing it to mysterious something
beyond the control of any man. He
tolerated the popular notion that there
must be God, as he tolerated codes
of social ethics; the conventions which
laid down, for instance, what gentle
man might or might not do, externally,
and still remain a gentleman. In the
meantime, if man-made law came be-
tween him and the accomplishment of
his ends, he broke it, without trace
of thought that he might be wrong.
Laws were the mutual safeguard Of
the weak, to protect themselves
against the encroachment of the
strong; and it was in the equally nat
ural province Of the strong to break
down those safeguards. In the same
way he disregarded moral laws. They.
too, were for the UNFOLDING Of the
weak, and the mere fact that they ex.
listed was proof enough that they were
an acknowledgment of the right of the
strong to break them.
There is a mistake here. It lies In

fervidness Of his heart, of his mind,
of his spirit, of his body. He worshiped
it!

his determination to have her, but 1t
was the terrific need of her which had
grown up in him. Have her? OF
course he would have her! II she
would not come to him willingly, he
would take her! She was not to be
considered in it any more than he had
considered any other adverse factor in
the attainment of anything he had de-
sired. He was possessed of rage
now, which centered itself upon one
object, and one alone. Gail! She was
his new summit. his new peak. the
final one where he had planned to
rest; but now his angry thought was
