A JEWISH SOUL
A Story BY Joseph Gross.
CONTINUED from last week.. }

during the next lew weeks MIL
decai was very busy. He was al
most constantly at the store, or
with his brokers and agents looking
after the sale of his property. Grad
ually, the merchandise was sold, as
we'll as the land and the bank stock.
Even their home was disposed of.
His eyes were misty when he signed
the deed. He grieved also upon
transferring the railroad lots. But
we must leave behind no bridges by
which to return" he said.
Despite his exhausting work,
new spirit seemed to have ia ken
hold of Mordecai. He was happier
and more buoyant than he had been
for years. A crushing burden was
taken off his mind Almost every
evening he spent in studying sacred
Hebrew works, with a JOY that he
had not felt at any time since his
coming to Greenvale.
Their departure was but day or
two off. The morning and the early
afternoon had been taken up in re-
ceiving many friends, who came to
bid them farewell, and God-speed.
Later in the afternoon Mordecai and
Deborah sat on the porch for some
time in silence, thinking, thinking.
Mrs. Halprin wondered what New
York was like. She had seen that
city for only few minutes at night,
on her arrival in America, just be-
fore starting South She still re-
membered the deafening noise, and
wondered how she would live there.
She regretted having SO long de-
tanned her husband in Alabama Had
they left earlier, the pain of part
ing would not have been so in
tense. Now she had really learned
to love the South passionately, and
was scarcely able to restrain her
tears, while their daughter sang old
Southern melodies for their guests.
Gcnevieve had looked forward
with glee to the trip to New York
the great, wonderful New York.
She was in high spirits, and re-
NAMED in the house longer than her
parents to entertain some of her
own joyous young friends who lin
gered behind. One by one, these,
too, left. The last to bid her goodby
were Chandler Ralston and the
young Jewish cottongrower, Nor
tom Warburg.
A peculiar, melancholy feeling
now came over her. $50 we're
really to CO." she said with a sigh.
"And all for fear of my marrying

wrong for me, it surely is wrong
for him, too. Can it be that Chand-
Ter and his people don't know or
don't care? That is scarcely pos
sible. They are too noble for that.
Then why didn't they raise the ques-
ton? What is the difference be-
tween Warburg and Ralston, any
way? Both are of good appearance,
Americans, Southerners, and might
even be taken for members of the
same family. Why should one man
be a Jew, and another Christian?
What is the meaning of these words?
What is the difference" 1t all
seemed SO strange, SO puzzling to
her.
Her eyes followed the two young
men as they walked down the road
together. Suddenly it occurred to
her that she should probably have
told her father of her acquaintance
with the young Hebrew. Perhaps
that would have stayed his action.
And yet, what was there to tell
She and his sister had been at col
lege together, and were very close
friends. At one of the commence
ment exercises she met Morton. He
visited the college again and spent
some time with Genevieve. Sew
cral months later, Miss Warburg in
vited her to spend the mid-year va
cation at their beautiful home on
Princes Island, a short distance
from the Alabama coast, in the Gulf
of Mexico. There Morton had even
neglected his duties on the planta
ton to be with her. But, perhaps,
that was only because of his true,
Southern chivalry. At the Estate
Ball." he seemed not at all pleased
that she had come there with Raj
ston. Was that really jealousy?
During the reception at their home
that day he had several times en-
deavored to speak to her alone, but
because of the presence of others,
he could not He looked so sad
when he left, too.
Did she really care for him? She
didn't know She certainly thought
more of him than of any other young
man she knew, with the possible
exception of Chandler. And yet,
she was not positive that she loved
him. What, then, was there to tell
her father. She couldn't expect him
to break up his plans upon mere
possibility, and it might even irri
tate him to be told Of it at this time.
She looked at him as he sat there,

allied what was in his mind what
he had suffered through all the
years. She regretted keenly that
she had not been more attentive to
the studies that were so dear to
him. 1t would have caused him SO
much joy. Perhaps, too, she could
understand why the thought of a
possible marriage with Ralston had
so intensely affected him. Poor,
dear, papa" she murmured, land
all because of me- Her heart went
out to him.
Mordecai, too, was meditatlve. His
mind wandered back to the days of
his youth, and to his escape from
Russia. He thought of his early
struggles in America, and recalled
with gratitude the many acts of
kindness shown him by the people
who had been strangers to him. He
wondered if they understood his mo-
tives for leaving. There, in the dis

ago He had, indeed, "made good,'
but had he not paid too dearly for
it? Had he only followed his first

daughters future, how much sorrow
would he be spared? Now he had
wealth, experience, friends, Ameri-

the country. But ah, for the vigor,
the zeal, the hopes and plans of 20
years ago! His lips moved silently
in a fervent prayer for strength to
take up anew, in the North, the
ideals of his youth.
His thoughts were interrupted by
