CHAPTER XXI.
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
dng headily to his brain.
After all the dubious stumblings he
had come to the end of the road, to
find awaiting him the great accusa-
ton and the great reward BY the un-
Rnswerable logic of results, in its eff
feet upon others and upon himself. his
deed had proved itself a crime. Right
or wrong in the highest ethical fields.
the accepted social order had proved
Itself strong enough to make it's 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 a
soldier in the ranks of the convention
ally righteous. True, the devotion of
a loving woman. aided by a train of
circumstances strikingly fort&itous
and little short of miraculous, had
averted the final price-paying in penal
retribution. But the fact remained.
He was n felon.
Into this gaping wound which might
otherwise have slain him had been
poured the wine and oil of great
love: a love so clean and pure in
its own well-springs that 1t could
perceive no wrong in it's object
could measure no act of loyal devo-
zion by any standard save that of its
own greatness This love asked
nothing but what he chose to give. II
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
q door and thrust him out upon the
edge OF precipice and left him to look
down into the abyss of the betrayers-
the pit of those whose gift and curse
Ii IS to be the pace settlers. In a flash
OF revealment it was shown him that
with the great love had come a grea,
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
ne was face to face with a fanged
choice which threatened to tear his
heart out and trample upon 1t; and
again he recorded his decision. con
ftrning it with an oath The price was
too great: the upward path too steep:
the seif-denial it entailed too sacrifi

terror of the room was as dark as a

SCISSOR of invisible danger No such
warning was vouchsafed him when he
leaned across the end of the writing
