COMPLICATIONS
Chapter 81


In the mothers opinion, Jane had
gone completely mad She could not
understand this turn of affairs.
First il was that Jane really wanted
10 marry Donald, and Donald, due to
IDEAS about poverty and a prejudice
against the restrictions of marriage
inherited from his childhood. was re-
Iuctant TO marry her. Many men
seemed reluctant to take UP the re-
possibilities of marriage-'too self
lsh,' Mrs. Talbot said. But Jane
thought differently.
The woman must marry for her
own protection and that of the chill
dren she is to bear" was the way Jane
put it. Her duty is to propagate
the race"
Seems to me that applies to the
man as WE'LL Mrs. Talbot replied caus-
tlcally, and saved herself thus 4 long
lecture on race psychology which was
one of James pet subjects.
But when she reduced the question
to its simplest form, she could only
get from Jane one answer
This is an impulse on his part. If
he wanted to marry anyone it would
be myself. You may not agree with
all his reasons against marrying, but
the TACT remains that they exist Mar
rage has to be tie, it can't help it.
Even | could not keep him from feel
ing cetain amount of bondage.
AT first it would be all right: he
wouldn't mind it; especially if he went
INTO the mining camp. But when he
came back to the complicated life in
the city, it would be different For
lew years he would not mind. Then
ne would feel tied up, and literally
begin to choke. Then he would hate
me-
It's more important to have his
love than to be his wife. If marrying
, MIN means to kill his love. even after
some years | won't marry him"
He says he'll take YOU along any,
way. Mrs. Talbot spoke as though
she thought Donald capable of throw
ing cloak over James head and car
rying her off bodily. And, in truth,
she knew he was capable of throwing
cloak over her reasoning powers and,
metaphorically, carrying her off her
feet.
And so the subject rested.
But Mrs. Talbot soon had otheri

Enterprise Flour is reliable
It's n1ilIed from sound zoheaf

I takes fine -four to produce fine baking
and fine -four must be milled from
fine wheat. But sound wheat is scarce
this year.
An untimely spring freeze weakened the
crop. Frequent showers in the late harvest
kept it from drying in the shock. Stored
damp, much OF it is weevily and musty.
A llttle-about one carload in hundred
IS good enough to make Enterprise. And
that is the wi heat we buy. 1t costs much
more than the run of the crop, but it's
worth every cent it costs.
Only sound strong gluten wheat will give
Enterprise the high quality that enables it

Only sound strong gluten wheat will make
Enterprise SO reliable that it never causes

Taking up the exposition of his an

there is general habit or disposition
to fail to realize that general truths
apply to ourselves. In illustration he
made reference to facts OF chemistry,
of the microscope, of the telescope
which the average, many may or may
not know with relatively little rela.
tion to his action. In like manner
men are accustomed to assume a re-
luton to moral and spiritual truths.
How often does, the thought of
death, inevitable death, come to us?"
inquired the minister. I'VE know
this mortal life is temporary and
transitory thing. There is no reason
to think your experience and mine
will be exceptional to the rule. But
how often comes to us the realization
that life is fleeting and temporary
thing?
'If We realized the short and brief

give to make our lives count in the
