~ WORLD DICTATOR

tianity changes Jews. Not a bit OF

the same thing. And you will sec

something will happen to me-"
He brought his hot face close to
Norvel's and Norvel hoped that his
own expression would not betray his
eager wish that something would
happen to Rud.
And then, then at last, when they
think the time is ripe, they will
push one of the real race into my
place, and you will have a Jew

Solomon. with wives and concubines
all complete. So that the promise
be fulfilled and the Jews will inherit
the earth! That is the eternal
dream of the Jews and they will 90
on dreaming 1t. Unless we deal with
them, Norvel-noW."
So far Rud was following in the
footsteps of his German precursor
Hitler. but 1t is to be remarked that
quite unlike Hitler. he never be-
trayed any traces of that physical
race mania which is so frequent
an aspect of sexual abnormality
He regarded the Jews as a conspir-
acy. Hitler regarded them as a
biological pressure, multiplying
around him and his kind. He felt
personal and intimate hate for
them. But Rud had no sense of
kind. The relative reproductive
vlgor OF black men or yellow men
or Arabs or the like never troubled
his imaginations even in their worst
phases. 1t was always the con-
spiracy he dreaded. And derision
Even his murder of Chiffan was due
not so much to sexual jealousy as
to the feeling that Chiffan Knocked
his enterprise in that direction. In
sexual matters he was deficient
rather than abnormal; his funda-
mental feeling about women was
not desire but fear.
Suspicion Increases.
1t was not merely the planning of
the last and greatest of all pogroms
that fevered the now almost un-
sleeping brain of Rud. Perpetual
vigilance Is the seed of madness.
His mind was fostering now with
suspicion whenever two or three
were gathered together In any sort
of cooperation Every sort of as
sociation made him uneasy, every
professional solidarity made him
uneasy. He had never subdued his
fear of medical men after that vim
dictive trial and execution of Bod
1sham's doctors. He felt all the
doctors were now his enemies. Then
there were men of science. The
physicists, the mathematicians
seemed tame cats for the most part;
the biologists, the psychologists were
more outspoken; but they all hung
together. They too, he felt, had
their shibboleths. their hidden un-
derstandings. They too looked at
him now with incommunicable
thoughts in their eyes. He sus-
pected even the teachers of math-
ematics and physics. Olders found
him one day puzzling over text
book of mathematical crystallo-
graphy, trying to detect the treason
behind the pinacoids.
His doctors he subjected to the
most searching questioning. He
was always consulting fresh ones
secretly and then confronting them
with any apparent contradiction
from the diagnoses he had extracted
from. their fellow experts. His gen.
eral maloise increased. He was
ceasing to eat as we'll as ceasing to
sleep.
Al this stage it was that suddenly
he bethought himself of Carstall
and turned to him, with a profound
distrust of all other doctors.
In spite of his f1atterers and Wor-
shippers, in spite of his growing
sense of divinity, Rud had still a
curious feeling about Carstall left
over from the days of Hooplady
House-a faint, exalted snobbish-
ness. 1t came to him now as a
thing supremely desirable that Car
stall should be willing to stand over
him and fend off these impalpable
things that menaced him. He had
always wanted Carstall to care for
him-from their earliest meeting
Now he decided that Carstall should
indeed care for him-that Carstall
should leave whatever else he hap
pened to be doing at the time and
become Rud's personal attendant.
