A JEWISH SOUL
A Story By Joseph Gross.
V |.

A heavy, omlnous silence settled
over the house. After a few mo-
ments, Mordecai went up to his
study, took out number of He
brew volumes, and tried to read, but
in vain-he could not concentrate
his mind. His thoughts wandered,
and the letters jumped all over the
page. He closed the books, and be-
gan pacing up and down the room.
Again and again he looked impa-
tiently at the clock, comparing it
with his watch Several times he
called to his wife, asking her as to
the hour at which Genevieve might
be expected home, although he we'll
knew it. Then he sat down in his
armchair and pulled away vigor-
ously at one cigar after another, as
the leadcn hours crept along.
He was undergoing terrific
struggle His wife noticed it. Sew
cral times she was on the verge of
saying something to cheer him, or
at least to interrupt the serious
trend of his thoughts; but, some
how or other. her usual tact failed
her, and, being uncertain Of her
ground, she felt that it was safer
not to speak. She regretted keenly
having urged that Genevieve be per-
mitted to go. She had believed that
no harm would come of it, and
saw in it just enough risk and i'm
propriety to spice it, and tempt her
feminine nature. But seeing her
husbands disquietudc, she, too, be-
gan to fear shat an unwise step had
been taken, and became alarmed
The hour grew late. She asked
him if he was ready to retire. His
answer came bluntly, NO." Soon
he arose and walked to the window.
He bent far out, and tried to pierce
the darkness of the long road with
his eager, searching eyes. He
looked back at the clock, though he
knew 1t was yet to early tor their
return.
"What a fool | am he NUT
tered several times, in a conscious
effort to assure himself "What is
there to worry about: They'll be
back in a little while, and that will
be the end of it. What is there
unusual about a girls going out
with a young man: Nothing will
happen; nothing can happen. She
loves me and she knows how much
| love her He is perfect gentle
man, a Ralston, a real Southcrner."
Here he cndcavored to smile at his
own folly. "And yet" he continued,

go, he held her little hand tightly in
his, gradually raising it to his lips.
Her father waited brcathlcssly to
hear whether she would invite Raj
ston to call again She did not.
My own little girl, after all !" he
exclaimed, smiling for the first time
that night. In moment, however,
tormenting doubt entered his
mind. Didn't she say something
about a second visit He fancied
that he did hear it, AS he watched
Ralston walking off slowly to his
car, apparently in deep thought, he
specialized upon the nature of the
young mans plans.
Here | am, silly daddy" Morde-
cal suddenly heard her cheerful
voice, and felt her soft arms about
him. Here | am, safe and sound,
still your daughter-a daughter of
Israeli" She was about to tell him
of the wonders of the ball, when,
she noticed his haggard face, and
felt his cold hands.
"What is it, papa, darling," she
said. "Are you still sorry | went?
Are you angry at me? Have really
done wrong?"
"No, pet" he replied slowly, and
in weak voice. 81 am angry at
myself have done wrong, not you.
But go to bed now. Well talk
about it in the morning."
When Genevleve arose from her
sweet, pleasant slumbers, it was al
most midday. She was about to
rush off to the store to greet her
father, when her mother whispered
to her that he had been up all night
in the library, and had better not
be disturbed When he came home
for lunch, a little later, she noticed
that he was pale, and aged, even
more SO than on her return from the
ball. And yet, there was look Of
determination in his face. Appar-
emily he had decided upon a definite
plan of action. Later, arriving at
the store, she saw the employees,
cxcitedly packing, classifying, mark
ing. Outside were a number of no
tees announcing his withdrawal
from business.
ct is all settled now, my DEAR"
her mother explained to her upon
her hurried return from the store.
1--WE are moving to New York.
SO Mordecai had bluntly told her
during the afternoon. with an accus-

out together, they seemed such
charming couple, and SO happy in
each others company. She knows
that | will never again let her go
out with him, to say nothing of
marrying him. They will be alone
for several hours. She may tell it
to him. What if he dared not
finish the thought.
Again he paced to and fro, while
the large designs of the paper on
the wall seemed to turn into striking
portraits of the elder Peixotto, as
he had seen it Is years before. Es-
pecially were the eyes prominent.
But there was no longer sadness or
warning in them. Reproach, indig-
nation and contempt met his gaze.
"a fine idealist, indeedp he read
in them: "Your wealth was more
to you than your faith. You've bar
tered your God-given birthright for
a pot of gold. You have even
brought your only child as sacri-
flee upon the altar of Mammon. A
loyal Jew, indecd!'
Mordecai went into the next room,
but there, too, the insistent, elo-
quent eyes followed him. He even
closed his own to shut out the vi
sion, but to no avail In despair,
he turned to them with a silent
plea for help, for advice, at least for
a suggestion. Their look became
more kindly as they seemed to reply:
arise, Take thy wife and daugh-
ter and get you out Of this place.
God grant it be not already too
late"
1t was two o'clock when Morde-
cal heard the welcome sound of a
machine approaching the house. The
couple had left the ball at midnight
while the festivities were at their
very height. Genevieve remem-
bercd her fathers last words and
look, and wanted to be home early,
to reassure him to allay his fears.
TO please her, Chandler had driven
the car like mad. Hearing its ap-
proach, the anxious father rushed to
the window of his study, his heart
palpilating. The young people
alighted. Their conversation was
tritc and brief. She had had very
pleasant evening, and thanked him
for it, he had enjoyed himself very
much, and was most appreciative.
Yet, to Mordecai's feverish ears,
even this seemed long and rather
familiar Her companion made sew
cral efforts to continue the CONVEX
sation, until she reminded him of

in on Washington that Capt. Richmond
Pearson Hobson, former member OF
the house, is whooping 1t up in earnest
