During the next few weeks Johr

Instinct with her powerful al

reason ridiculed impulse and made
it very clear to Cleland that he was

But instinct had this advantage:
she was always awake, whispering
to his mind and heart; and reason
often fell asleep on guard over his

But when awake, reason laughed
at the conspirators, always in am
bush to slay him; and carried mat

Cleland Senior. His parents and
later his wife and son had known
the only sentimental phenomena
which had ever characterized him
in his career. Outside of these ex-
ceptions, reason had always ruled |
him. This is usually the case
among those who inherit money |
from forbears who, in turn, have
been accustomed to inherit and
hand down a moderate but unim
paired fortune through sober gen
erations.
Such people are born logical
when not born fools. And now
Cleland Senior, mortified and irri-
tated by the increasing longing
which bosessed him, asked himself
frequently which of these re really
was.
Every atom OF logic in him counr
selled him to abstrain from what
every instinct in him was desiring

fill the loneliness of his heart and
house - something to mitigate the
absence of his son, whose absences
