CONTINUED from last week.

It was on a Sunday morning when She
finally steeled herself to make the call.
She walked several times around the
block where Mr.. SingletOns residence
stood, trying to think what to say. AS
she mounted the steps, leading to the
main entrance, she caught sight OF Mr.
Singleton as he turned from the window.
Her heart fluttered The butler answer
ed the bell and after few moments re-
turned to announce that Mr.. Singleton
was not at home. Her knees weakened
falling almost into swoon, but she sup
ported herself by resting against the
wall She brought her hand over her
eyes, stood perplexed for few moments,
the butler cycling her curiously. Finally,
she summoned strength to say: please
tell Mr.. Singleton that I saw him at the
window as l entered. I will not leave
until he sees me-"
The butler disappeared again for
few moments and when he reappeared
he drew aside the portierres, leading to
the drawing room, and beckOned Mrs.
Schloss to enter.
what can I do for your Mr. Single
ton asked her icily.
Mrs. Schloss smiled sadly.
GA good deal,' she answered.
"It seems to me- said Mr.. Singleton,
chat you have attained your ambitions.
You have succeeded in ensnaring my
son. What more do you want?"
'It is unfair!' exclaimed Mrs. Schloss.
"You know that my husband and I did
all we could to prevent the marriage"
eyes, you did," he drawled sluringly
"you haven't even made an effort to stop
them"
"How can you say that, Mr.. Single
ton? You know what a shock it has been
to my husband and now you come along
and deal him another blow. I haven't
shown him your letter for fear of ag-
gravating his condition. I have come
here to ask you to re-instate him"
"Ha, ha, ha,' laughed Mr.. Singleton,
"you want me to take my enemy into
my own camp and treat him with the
cordially of friend. You Jews are
crafty lot"
Mrs Schloss felt the sting of his words,
but being at his mercy considered it
fool-hardy to retaliate.
eff you were a good Christian, Mr..
Singleton, you would do what I ask
"And if you were good Jews, you
would have never allowed the marriage.
The trouble with you people is that you
are over-zealous, over-ambitious. You
try to force your way into quarters where
you are not wanted. You have abomin-
able traits. You forge your way ahead
either through your arrogance or syco-
phancy. Disgusting!"
"Mr. Singleton, have not come here
to discuss with you the vices or virtues
of our race. The fact that we continue
to live after nations more powerful have
been wiped off the face of the earth prov
es that there must be some good in us. !"
"It simply proves that you are always
crawling back into your shell when you
are attacked, never having the courage
of your own convictions, never standing

use dilating upon the subject For the
present I am satisfied that | have acted
rightly and | cannot see my way clear
in re-instating your husband
Mrs. Schloss was non-plussed. she
realized the hopelessness OF the sltuatlon'
the futility of effort to convince Single
ton of his unjust stand. He desired TO
humiliate her, to square accounts Win
her for by-gone days. There was only
one way to win him to her side. She
instinctively felt that he wanted to re-
duce her to that point of self-sacrifice.
Her womanhood revolted at the thought,
filled her heart with venom against the
man. If she had dagger in her pos
session she would thrust it into his
heart. Yes, she erred in coming; unless
she was ready to yield to the demand
uppermost in his mind, words were USE
less. An ironical smile lurked at the
corner of his lips. She fathomed his
shady thoughts. Drawing herself up to
her full height she eyed him with dis
trustful mien for a few moments, then
exclaimed:
"You are a BEAST" and swept out of
the room.
Minnie received word of her fathers
collapse while she and Arthur were
spending their honeymoon at Catalina
Island For couple of weeks, she had
been living in a world OF dreams. En-
dowed with susceptible senses and
cheerful spirit, the sweet scented, balmy
air of California, the mild blue skies, the
peaceful blue waters of the Pacific,
coupled with Arthur's extreme love and
DEVOTION filled her heart to overlooking.
Only now and then, when her thoughts
strayed to her home, to her father to
Bernard, qualms of conscience disturbed
her peace of mind. If her dear ones
could only share her happiness! What
a beautiful world it would be!
The news of her fathers illness came
like a thunderbolt from clear sky. The
thought that she was the cause of his
affliction was insufferable. For several
days she lay in bed with high fever, al
most Frustrated, talking deliriously and
incomprehensibly. Arthur was constant
ly at her side, endeavoring to calm her
by directing her thoughts to other chan
nels; but his efforts were in vain, her
mind could harbour no other thoughts.
When she had recovered from the
shock, she and Arthur Immediately start
ed east. She was, however, completely
transformed. Her natural vivaciousness,
her exuberant enthusiasm left her. She
became pensive, morose; and during the
whole journey, she sat for hours in the
observation car mournfully gazing at the
scenery that unfolded itself to her view
as the train pulled and tugged onward.
She imagined conditions at home worse
than they actually were. Who knows!
Her father might be dead by the time
she reached his bedside! The idea was
tormenting! Oh, if she could only undo
it ALL Yes, as dearly as she loved
Arthur, if necessary to save her fathers
life, she would?
81 have killed him! I have killed

face to face that you desire Arthur as
son-in-law When / called on you, you
and your husband hemmed and hawed
like a couple of schOol-children You
cannot tell me anything about the Jews,
Mrs. Schloss, 1 have employed thousands
of them"
Mrs. Schloss suddenly found herself
in a serio-comic position. Having shed
her Jewish skin, she was now obliged to
crawl back into it to withstand the as
pensions cast upon her race.
"My husband is as devoted Jew as
you can find" Mrs. Schloss spoke
TREMENDOUSLY, hurt by her antagonists
slurs His condition is a proof that he
feels deeper about the marriage than you
do and that he would not barter his Jew
ish soul for all the Singleton millions"
"Your husband perhaps, but you, you
have tried to make the Singleton millions
serve as a stepping stone to your social
ambitions"
"That is not true, Mr.. Singleton. The
only thought that entered my mind was
Minnie's happiness. I knew that the
children loved each other and for this
reason I was willing to overlook every
thing. And even if I am at fault, why
punish Mr.. Schloss?'
Because it is the only way I can
get back at you. You see l am perfect
ly frank-I regret, Mrs. Schloss, that I
cannot comply with your request"
Good heavens! you don't know what
it means to U.S. Mr.. Schloss shaved for
you for twenty years, he looked out for
your interests as if they were his own
and now after he had given you the best
of his years, you throw him out as if he
were an outcast. I ask you in all fair
ness, is it right?"
81 beg of you, Mrs. Schloss, do not
wax sentimental. You are a very clever
and calculating woman. You know per-
fectly we'll the reason for my taking this
step and if you don't I repeat, did it
to punish you. So what's the use OF
wasting words?"
"But by Furnishing me, you punish my
husband, Mr.. Singleton"
cts unfortunate, Mrs. Schloss, most
unfortunate"
Mrs Schloss took several steps for
ward, faced him squarely and remarked
bitterly: please do not try to deceive
me and deceive yourself / know the
reason why you want to punish me. l.
is not because, as you say, on account of
Arthurs marriage to Minnie but because
of another incident that happened at the
time I was in your employ. Why not
be truthful? 1t must give you great
pleasure to have this naughty woman
as you called me, to come here begging
on her knees for favor"
do not be SO ridiculous, Mrs. Schloss,
I have not invited you to come here In
fact, l did not care to receive you, you
know that, so why dig up the past?"
Because the past is responsible for
your present conduct or you would have
not discharged my husband for you know
full we'll that he, at least, has done all
in his power to prevent the marriage
