"Margery," he began, when the in
terval of thoughtful heart-searching
had done its illuminative work, what
would you say if 1 should tell you
that your some day has already

She started as if he had thrust a
knife into her. Then she slipped out
Of his arms and caught up his hand
to press it against her cheek.

He was shaking his head slowly.

81 was afraid it wouldn't" she
sighed, "but 1 had to try. Are they

He did not answer in words, but she

drew her to her feet.

CHAPTER XXX.
The Desert and the sown.

The Desert and the SoWn,
Through streets in which the village
quiet of the summer night was undis-
turbed save by the scattering tinkIe of
the lawn sprinklers in the front yards,
and the low voices of the outdoor
people taking the air and the moon
light on the porches, Griswold Jared
homeward, the blood pounding in his
veins and the fine wine of life mount
ing headily to his brain.
After all the dubious standings he
had come to the end of the road, to
find awaiting him the great accusa-
ton and the great reward. By the I'M
answerable logic of results, in its eff
feet upon others and upon himself, his
deed had proved itself crime. Right
or wrong in the highest ethical fields.
the accepted social order had proved
itself strong enough to make its own
laws and to prescribe the far-reaching
penalties for their infraction. Under
these laws he stood convicted. Never
again, save through the gate Of atone
ment, could he be reinstated as
soldier in the ranks OF the convention
ally righteous. True, the devotion of
a loving woman, aided by a train of
circumstances strikingly fortuitous
and little short of miraculous, had
averted the final price-paying in penal
retribution. But the fact remained.
He was felon.
Into this gaping wound which might
otherwise have slain him had been
poured the wine and oil of a great
love; a love so clean and pure in
it's own well-springs that it could
perceive no wrong in it's object;
could measure no act Of loyal deYo-
ton by any standard save that of its
own greatness. This love asked
nothing but what he chose to give. 1t
would accept him either as he was, or
as he ought to be- The place he should
elect to occupy would be its place; his
standards it's standards.
Just here the reasoning angel opened
a door and thrust him out upon the
edge of a precipice and left him to look
down into the abyss of the betrayers-
I the pit of those whose gift and curse
it is to be the pace settlers. In a fash
Of revealment it was shown him that
with the great love had come a great
responsibility. Where he should lead,
Margery would follow, unshrinkingly,
unquestioningly never asking whether
the path led up or down; asking only
that his path might be hers. Instantly
he was face to face with a fanged
choice which threatened to tear his
heart out and trample upon it; and
again he recorded his decision. con-
frming it with an oath. The price was
too great; the upward path too steep;
the self-denial it entailed too sacrih-
cial.
We have but one life to live, and
well live it together. Margery, girl.

New Definition.

1.-The study of etymoIogy," says the
Philadelphia Record, causes no end
of trouble among that class of school
children whose knowledge of English
is limited to words which figure in the
ordinary street conversation. and
many curious results have followed.
The custom usually observed by the
teachers is to require such a definition
of the word, then its derivation, and
finally a sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word "Hgament"
fell to the lot of rather diffident boy
recently. He defined it properly as "a
band" but followed up the correct
derivation with this remarkable SEN
tence: Il was wakened up last night
by hearing brass igament going
down the street"

for better or for worse" was his apos-
trophic declaration, made while he was
turning into Shawnee street a few
doors from his lodgings; and a minute
later he was opening the Widow Hol-
combs gate.
The house was dark and apparently
deserted as to its street-fronting half
when he let himself in at the gate
and ran quickly up the steps. The
front door was open, and he remem-
bered afterward that he had wondered
how the careful widow had come to
leave it so, and why the hall lamp
was not lighted. From the turn at
the staiThead he felt his way to the
door of his study. Like the one below,
it was wide open; but someone had
drawn the window shades and the in
terror of the room was as dark as a
cavern.
Once. in the noveI-writing, follow
ing the lead of many worthy predeces-
sors, Griswold had made much of the
sixth sense; the subtle and indef1n-
able prescience which warns it's pos
SCISSOR Of invisible danger. No such
warning was vouchsafed him when he
leaned across the end of the writing
table, turned on the gas and held a
lighted match over the chimney of the
workinglamp. 1t was while he was
still bending over the table, with both
hands occupied, that he looked aside
In his own pivot chair, covering him

and drawn the window shades and
otherwise prepared the trap.
You bought a couple o. these little
playthings, Mr.. GriswoId," said the
man quietly. Keep your hands right
where they are, and tell in which
pocket you've got the other one"
Griswold laughed, and there was a
sudden swapping OF invisible bonds.
He dismissed instantly the thought
that Charlotte Farnham had taken him
at his word; and if she had not, there
was nothing to fear.
