A JEWISH SOUL
A Story By Joseph Gross.
Continued from last week.

After few visits, Lilienblum sue
cccdcd somewhat in removing the
unfavorablc impression that his
speaking in Yiddish had made upon
her while in the synagogue. She
was surprised to find that he spoke
English, such as would have pleased
her hyper-critical teacher at school.
He impressed her as being thought
full and courteous. He was, indeed,
superior to the other young men she
had met in New York. She gave
him considerable thought, especially
after her mother had told her that
he was very much like her father
had been before their marriage. His
sacrifice for his ideal also raised him
greatly in her estimation. She felt
hattered by his unconcealed admira-
ton, and his unmistakeable lnten-
tons. But he talked so often about
things that were strange to her.
Why should one be concerned about
Palestine, when the South is SO near?
Why should one care to speak Y1d-
dish or Hebrew? Despite his fault
less, elegant speech, there was an IN
defnable something of the foreigner
about him. She could not dissoclate
him from the strange men and
women who had listened to him, and
whom she had been unable to forget.
The more she saw Of him, the more
wildly she recalled, and the more
she was perplexed by what she had
seen and heard that evening. 1t
seemed to her as if she had been in
another planet.
Little by little, that which had
been but dim idea hidden some
where in her mind, forced itself
clearly upon her. Mason & Dixon's

far as Ralston is concerned, that is
why she cannot marry him. She saw
the difference between Greenvale
society and the jewellers of the
Ghetto, and now realized how far
each set was from the other-and
from her.
For days she was as in trance.
She saw Lilienblum and Ralston
walking, each on a different road,
great distance away. She was alone
and depressed. But she could not
