CHAPTER XIII
The New World

Kirby took his lady love driving In
a rented tiivvcr. 1t was a Colorado
night, with young moon looking down
through the cool, rare atmosphere found
only in the Rockies. He drove her
through the city to Berkeley and up the
hill to Inspiration Point.
They talked only in intermittent
snatches. Rose had the gift of com.
radeship. Her tongue never ratified.
With Kirby she did not need to make
talk. They had always understood each
other without words.
But tonight their silcnccs were filled
with new and awkward signiiicances
She guessed that an emotional crisis
was ut hand. With all her heart she
welcomed and shranls from it. For she
knew that after tonight life could never
be the same to her. 1t might be fuller
deeper. happier, but IT, could not. hold
for her the freedom she had guarded
und cherished.
At the summit he killed the engine.
They looked across the valley to the
hills dimmed by nights velvet dusk.

There we're battles Of will between the

when he read that his fight had brought
suspicion on him. He wanted to give
himself up at once to the police. They
quarrcled. Shibo always gained the
temporary advantage. but he saw that
under "a grilling third degree his
cOuntryman would break down. He
killed Horikawa because he knew he

This last fact was not. of course. in
Horikawa's confession. But the dread
of it was there. The valet had come to
fear Shibo. He was convinced in his
shrinking heart that the man meant to
get rid Of him. 1t was under some
impulse of self-protection that he had
written the statement.
Shibo heard the confession read with

shrugged his shoulders, accepting the

There is no statute which prevents

To affect to despise public opinion is
merely foolish. It is not necessary to

But there are some things. hardened
into custom by long use, that we must
do or be ostracised. Fortunately most
of the law Of the human herd Is Just.
And as civilization becomes more pro-
gressive, each new statute that is added
is wiser and more worthy Of obedience.

follows them feel their displeasure.
It Is often said that this law has
suppressed genius and made progress
impossible. But It has more often sup.
pressed what was mere pretension to
genius. and forced progress into surer
and safer channels.
THE man who aasrantly and openly

handicapping himself. lie must be
greater genius than any yet born into
the world to get away with It.
George Bernard Shaw breaches vio.
lations Of the law, yet no one more
vigorously conforms to it, even in his
writing. Compare, for example, the
excellent clear prose of Shaw to the
wild and fantastic verse forms of the
futurists, and you will understand what
we mean.
We may not believe in law, but we
must abide by it, for it is the influence
that steadies the world. We may think
that the herd is often wrong, as it is,
but II we try to run counter to it we
suffer, and usually we suffer needlessly.
