what the West call nerve. That the
crisis through which he had passed was
that of friends life did not lesser
the poignancy Of the experience. lie
had singularly reserved manner and a
rare economy of words also, he had the
refinement and distinction of one who
had, aforctimc, moved on the higher
ranges of social life. He was always
simply and comfortably and in a sense
fashionably dressed, yet there was moth =
ing Of the dude about him, and his
black satin tie gave him an air OF
old worldishncSs which somehow com
PEELED an extra amount of respect. This.
in spite of the fact that he had been
known as one who had left the East
and come into the wilds because of a
woman not his wife.
1t was not, however. strictly true to
say that he had come West because
of a woman, for it was on account OF
three women, who by sudden coincidence
or collusiOn sprang a situation from,
which the only relief was fight.
In that he took refuge, not because
he was n coward, but because it was
folly to fight woman. or three
women. and because it was the only
real solution of an ungovernable stu E
alton. At first he had drifted from
one town to another, dissolute and
reckless, apparently unable to settle
down. or to forget the unwholesome
three. But one day there was a terrible
h.
train. and Lebanon and Manitou made
call upon his skill. and held him in
bondage to his profession for one whole
month. During this time he performed
two operations which the surgeons who
had been sent out by the railway di e
rectors at Montreal declared were
masterpieces.
When that month was up he was n
changed man. and he opened an Office
in Lebanon. Men trusted him despite
his past. and women learned that there
was never n moment when his pulses
beat unevenly in their presence. Ma
than Rockwell had had his lesson and
it was not necessary to learn it again.
To him, woman, save as subject of
his skill. was closed book. He re-
garded them as he regarded himself.
with n kindly cynicism. He never for
got that his own trouble could and
would have been avoided had it not been
for woman's vanity and consequent
cruelty. The unwholesome three had
shared his moral lapse with wide open
eyes. and were in no sense victims of
his: but, disrcgarding their responsi e
bility. they had from sheer jealousy,
wrecked his past, and, to their own sur
prise. had wrecked themselves as we'll.
They were of those who act first and
then think-too late.

Thus it was that both men and women
called Rockwell a handsome man, but
thought Of him as having only crater
of exhausted fires in place of heart.
They came to him with their troubles
even the women ofsNIanitou who ought
to have gone to the priest.
He moved about Lebanon as one who
had authority, and desired not to use
it as one TO whom life was like case
in surgery to be treated with scientific
coolness, with humanity, but not with
undue sympathy; yet the early morning
of the day after Ingolby had had his
accident at Barbazon's Hotel found
him the slave of ap emotion which shook
him from head to foot. lie had saved
his friends life by most skillful opera
tion. but he had been shocked beyond
control when. an hour after the opera :
tion was over, and consciousness re-
turned to the patient in a brilliantly
lighted room. Ingolby said:
"Why don't you turn on the light?'
1t was thus Rockwell knew that the
Master Man, the friend of Lebanon
and Manitou, was-stone blind.
When Ingolby's voice ceased. hOr-
rified silence filled the room for n mo-
ment. Even Jim Bcadle, his servant,
standing at the foot of the bed, clapped
a hand to his mouth to stop a cry, and
the nurse turned as white as the apron
she wore.
Dumfoundcd as Rockwell was. with
instant professional presence of mind he
said:
"No. Ingolby. you must be kept in
darkness while yet" Then he
whipped out silk handkerchief from
his pocket. 1--WE will have light. he
continued. "but we must bsndage you
first to keep out the glare and pre-
vent strain. The nerves of the eyes
have been injured"
Hastily and tcnderly he bound the
handkerchief round the sightlcss eyes
Having done so, he said to the nurse
with unintentional quotation from the
gospel of st. John. and sad irony
"Lct there be light
1t all gave him time to pull himself
together and prepare for the moment
when he must tell Ingolby the truth.
In one sense the sooner it was told the
better. lest Ingolby should suddenly
discover it for himself. Surprise and
shock must be avoided. So now he
talked in his low. soothing voice, tell
ing Ingolby that the operation had
put him out of danger. that the pain
now felt came chiefly from the nerves
of the eye, and that quiet and darkness
were necessary lie insisted on Ingolby
keeping silent, and he gave mild
opiate which induced several hours
sleep.
