CHAPTER V Continued
IV
Then in that breathless silence Ja
son stood erect and said in a firm
clear sonorous voice You know who
I am Some of you hate me Some
of you fear me All of you think me
-a sort of wild beast among men That
Js why you caged me But I have
broken my bars and brought this man
along with me
The men on the Mount had not time
to breathe under the light and fire
that flashed upon them when Jason
lifted his clinched fist and said O
you that dwell in peace you that go
to your beds at night you that eat
when you are hungry and drink when
you are thirst and rest when you are
weary would to God you could know
by bitter proof what this poor man
has suffered But I know it and I
can tell you what it has been Where
is your Michael Sunlocks that I may
tell it to him Which is he Point
aim out to me
Then the people drew a deep breath
for they saw in an Instant what had
befallen these two men in the dread
shaping of their fate
Where is he cried Jason again
And in a voice quivering with emo
tion the Judge said
Dont you know the man you have
brought here
No yes yes cried Jason My
brother in suffering my brother in
misery thats all I know or care
But where is your Michael Sunlocks
I have something to say to him Where
ds he
Jorgen Jorgensen had recovered
himself by this time and pressing for--ward
he said with a cruel smile
You fool shall I tell you where
lie is
Heaven forbid it said the Bishop
stepping out and lifting both hands
before the Governors face But in
that instant Jason had recognized
Jorgen Jorgensen
I know this old man he said
What is he doing here Ah God
3ity me I had forgotten I saw him
at the mines Then he is back And
now I remember he is Governor
again
Saying this an agony of bewilder
ment quivered in his face He looked
around
Then where is Michael Sunlocks
he cried in a loud voice Where is
he Which is he Who is he Will
no one tell me Speak For the mer
ciful Christs sake let some one speak
There was a moment of silence in
which the vast crowd trembled as
one man with wonder and dismay The
Bishop and Judge stood motion
less Jorgen Jorgensen smiled bitter
ly and shook his head and Jason rais
ed his right hand to cover his face
from the face of the insensible man
at his feet as if some dark fore
shadowing of the truth had swept over
him in an instant
What happened thereafter Jason
never knew only that there was a
shrill cry and a rustle like that of a
swirl of wind only that someone was
coming up behind him through the
-walls of human beings that still stood
apart like riven rocks only that in a
moment a woman had flung herself
over the prostrate body of his com
Tade embracing it rising it in her
arms kissing its pale cheeks and sob
bing over it My husband my hus
band
It was Greeba When the dark mist
bad cleared away from before his eyes
Jason saw her and knew her At the
same instant he saw and knew his des
tiny that his yoke fellow had been
Michael Sunlocks that his lifelong en
emy had been his life- sole friend
It was a terrible discovery and Ja
son reeled under the shock of it like
a beast that is smitten to its death
And while he stood there half blind
half deaf swaying to and fro as if the
earth rocked beneath him across his
shoulders over his cheeks and his
mouth and his eyes fell the lash of the
tongue of Jorgen Jorgensen
Yes fool that you are and have
been he cried in his husky voice
thats where your Michael Sunlocks
Is
Shame Shame cried the people
But Jorgen Jorgensen showed no
pity or ruth
You have brought him here to your
confusion he cried again and its
aot the first time youve taken this
part to your own loss
More he would have said in the
merciless cruelty of his heart only
that a deep growl came up from the
crowd and silenced him
But Jason heard nothing seen noth
ing felt nothing knew nothing save
that Michael Sunlocks lay at his feet
and that she was coaxing him caress
ing him and kissing him back to
life
Michael she whispered Michael
USy poor Michael she murmured
while she moistened his lips and
parched tongue with the brenni vin
from the horn of some good man
standing near
Jason saw this and heard this
though he had eyes and ears for noth
ing besides And thinking in the
-wild tumult of his distempered brain
that such tenderness might have been
his should have been his must have
been his but for this man who had
Tobbed him of this woman all the
bitterness of his poisoned heart rose
up to choke him
He remembered his weary life with
this man his sufferings with him his
love for him and he hated himself for
it all What devil of hell had made
sport of him to give him his enemy
for his friend How Satan himself
must shriek aloud to see it that he
who had been thrice robbed by this
man robbed of a father robbed of a
mother robbed of a wife should in
Ms blindness tend him and nurse him
and carry him with sweat of blood
overtrack less wastes that he might
save nim alive for her who waited to
claim him
Then he remembered what he had
come for and that all was not yet
done Should he do it after all
Should he give this man back to this
woman Should he renounce his love

and his hate together his love of this
woman his hate of this man Love
Hate Which was love Which was
hate Ah God They were one they
were the same Heaven pity him
what was he to do
Thus the powers of good and the
powers of evil wrestled together in
Jasons heart for mastery But the
moment of their struggle was short
One look at the piteous blind face ly
ing on Greebas bosom one glance at
the more piteous wet face that hung
over it and love had conquered hate
in that big heart forever and forever
Jason was recalled to himself by a
dull hum of words that seemed to be
spoken from the Mount Someone was
asking why he fcad come there and
brought Michael Sunlocks along with
him So he lifted his hand partly to
call attention partly to steady him
self and in a broken voice he said
these words
Men and women if you could only
know what it means that you have
just witnesses I think it would be
enough to move any man You know
what I am a sort of bastard who
has never been a man among men
but has walked alone all the days of
his life My father killed my mother
and so I vowed to kill my father I
did not do it for I saved him out of
the sea and he died in my arms as
you might say doating on the mem
ory of another son That sons moth
er had supplanted me so I vowed to
kill him for his fathers sake I did
not do that neither I had never once
set eyes on my enemy I had done
nothing but say what I meant to do
when you took me and tried me and
condemned me Perhaps that was in
justice such as could have been met
with nowhere save here in Iceland
yet I thank God for it now By what
chance I do not know but in that
hell to which you sent me where all
names are lost and no man may know
his yoke fellow except by his face if
he has seen it I met with one who
became my friend my brother my
second self I loved him as one
might love a little child And he lov
ed me yes me I could swear it
You had thought me a beast and shut
me out from the light of day and the
company of Christian men But he
made me a man and lit ud the dark
ness of my night
His deep strong voice faltered and
he stopped and nothing was audible
save the excited breathing of the peo
ple Greeba was looking up into his
haggard face with amazement written
upon her own
Must I go on he cried in a voice
rent with agony I have brought him
here and he is Michael Sunlocks My
brother suffering is my brother in
blood The man I have vowed to
slay is the man I have tried to save
Some of the people could not restrain
their tears and the white faces of the
others quivered visibly
Why have you brought him here
asked the Judge
At that moment Michael Sunlocks
began to move and to moan as if
consciousness were coming back to
him Jorgen Jorgensen saw this and
the proud composure with which he
had looked on and listened while Sun
locks lay like a man dead left him
in an instant
Why have you brought Michael
Sunlocks here asked the Judge
again
Why has he brought him here
said Jorgen Jorgensen bitterly To
be arrested Thats why he has
brought him here See the man is
coming to He will do more mischief
yet unless he is prevented Take
him he shouted to one or two of the
guards from Krisuvik who had come
with Greeba and now stood behind
her
Wait cried the Judge lifting his
hand
There was no gainsaying his voice
and the guards who had stepped for
ward dropped back
Then he turned to Jason again and
repeated his question
Why have you brought Michaei
Sunlocks here
At that Jorgen Jorgensen lost all
self control and shouted Take him
I say And facing about to the
Judge he said I will have you know
sir that I am here for Denmark and
must be obeyed
The guards stepped forward again
but the crowd closed around thorn and
pushed them back
Seeing this Jorgen Jorgensen grew
purple with rage and turning to the
people he shouted at the full pitch of
his voice Listen to me Some min
utes past I put a price on that mans
head I said I would give you twenty
thousand kroner I was wrong I will
give you nothing but your lives and
liberty You know what that means
You have bent your necks under the
yoke already and you may have to do
it again Arrest that man arrest both
men
Stop cried the Judge
These men are escaped prisoners
said Jorgen Jorgensen
And this is the Mount of Laws and
here is Althing said the Judge and
prisoners or no prisoners if they have
anything to say by the ancient law
of Iceland they may say it now
Pshaw your law of Iceland is noth
ing to me said Jorgen Jorgensen
and turning to the crowd he cried
In the name of the King of Den
mark I command you to arrest those
men
And in the name of the King of
Kings said the Judge turning after
him I command you to let them
alone
There was a dread hush for a mo
ment and then the Judge looked down
at Jason and said once -more Why
have you brought Michael Sunlocks
here Speak
Before Jason could make answer
Jorgen Jorgensen had broken in
again
My guards are at Reykjavik he
cried and I am here alone You are
traitors all of you and if there is no
one else to arrest that enemy of my
country I will do it myself He shall
go no further Step back from him
tvtf rt --
So saying he opened his cloak drew
a pistol from his belt and cocked it
A shrill cry arose from the crowd
The men on the Mount stood quaking
with fear and Greeba flung herself
over the restless body of Michael Sun
locks

A Question of Expediency
The Boston Transcript says that
there can be neither escape from nor
evasion of the conclusion that tinder
authority of the Porto Rican decision
congress can maintain a colonial sys
tem Then the Tran script says
Today there maybe a disposition in
some quarters to say that the people
will not acquiesce in the supreme
courts decision any more than it ac
cepted the Dred Scott judgment as
final but that disposition will pass
away It is but the ebullition of a
heated moment The people will ac
cept if for no other reason than it will
see the vast moral distinction between
the case of Dred Scott and that of Porto
Rico The former was in its essence a
case of morals the Porto Rico tariff is
in its essence simply a question of ex
pediency
It is strange that such a statement
as this should be made by a newspaper
printed in the shadow of Bunker Hill
monument and within the sound of
the waves that dash against the harbor
made famous by the Boston Tea Party
There is no vast moral distinction
between the case of Dred Scott and
that of Porto Rico
At the time of the Dred Scott de
cision slavery was an institution recog
nized by our constitution Dred Scott
was a slave who sued in the federal
courts for freedom He was put out of
court on the ground that although he
had been taken into territory covered
by the Missouri Compromise he was
yet a slave and therefore not a citizen
and having no standing in the federal
court
At the very time that the supreme
court denied to Dred Scott the right to
sue for his freedom there were then in
the southern states at least 3000000
human beings in slavery and not one
of these would have the legal right to
sue for his freedom If the Dred Scott
matter was purely a moral one then
how did it happen that no proceeding
was taken in behalf o the 3000000
slaves The reason was that however
immoral the institution might have
been slavery in certain states had a
recognized legal standing In the
Dred Scott case then a purely legal
question was presented to the court
In giving its sanction to the slavery of
this human being the supreme court
had at least the excuse that slavery
was recognized by our constitution and
our laws however inconsistent it may
have been with our declaration of in
dependence
In the Porto Rican case was involved
the right of taxation explicitly fordid
den by the constitution If a case were
presented involving the proposition
that a tariff duty be levied on goods
going to and coming from the state of
Massachusetts the Boston Transcript
would very readily recognize that a
great moral as well as legal question
was involved in the proposition Such
a tariff would be illegal because ex
pressly prohibited by the constitution
Such a tariff would be immoral because
every section of our union is entitled
to equal opportunities and equal privi
leges with every other section
As the Boston Transcript says of the
Porto Rican tariff so the slave owners
of the Dred Scott period said of that
case it was a question of expediency
Every public wrong sought to be per
petrated under conditions where fund
amental law must be violated has been
excused on the ground that it was sim
ply a question of expediency
Both the Dred Scott and the Porto
Rican cases were cases of law The
element of immorality enters in both
it is true But the Porto Rican case
has the advantagethat the immorality
sought to be accomplished under the
guise of a statute is forbidden by the
letter of the fundamental law and re
pugnant to the spirit of American in
stitutions The Dred Scott case in
volved an institution likewise repug
nant andinconsistents with our declar
ation of independence but an institu
tion nevertheless formally sanctioned
by our constitution and laws of that
period
If there are no morals in the Porto
Rican case there were no morals in the
Boston Tea Party
If there is no morality in the conten
tion of the Porto Ricans that they be
given equal advantages and opportuni
ties with other sections of the country
of which they are a part then theie
was no morality in the contention of
the men of the revolutionary period
Mr Foraker announces that the Ohio
campaign is to be fought out on na
tional issues This is an interesting
announcement because Mr Forakers
lieutenants were always loud in declar
ing that state compaigns should be
fought on state issues when they
thought that the easiest way of win
ning
The civil government of the Philip
pines will be answerable to the war
department Onejaf the first tasks set
for the Filipinos is to learn the intri
cacies of our elastic language-
Of course Kansashasrenderedthanks
to the administration for permission to
harvest a bumper wheat crop
It is amusing to read in a high tariff
organ words of rejoicing because Amer
ican manufacturers are competing suc
cessfully with foreign manufacturers
The high tariff organs are continually
shrieking for protection against com
petition
The Ohio republicans havo learned
that it is not their part to think All
they have to do is to accept
Mr Beveridge should hasten home if
he expects to get his presidential boom
inflated before frost time
Harrison vs Brown
In his now famous or infamous
opinion Jnstice Brown sought to re
assure our Porto Rican subjects by
telling them that they could safely de
pend upon the benevolence and kind
ness of congress in the exercise of that
bodys unrestrained possession of
power The Pittsburg Post reminds
us that Justice Brown on this point
was well answered by the late Benja
min Harrison In the January num
ber of the North American Review
General Harrison had an article en
titled The Status of Annexed Ter
ritory In that article he said it was
expressibly absurd that the constitu
tion does not apply but all these pro
visions in it are in full force notwith
standing
Then General Harrison said
It should be asked further wheth
er the rule of uniformity of taxation is
a part of the law of our civilization
for without it all property rights are
protected The man whose property
may be taxed arbitrarily without re
gard to uniformity within the tax dis
trict and without any limitation as to
the purposes for which taxes may be
levied does not own anything he is a
tenant at will But if these supposed
laws of civilization are not enf orcible
by the courts and rest wholly for their
sanction upon the consciences of presi
dents and congresses then there is a
very wide difference The one is own
ership the other is charity The one
is freedom the other slavery however
just and kind the master may be
Our fathers were not content with
an assurance of these great rights that
rested wholly upon the sense of justice
and benevolence of the congress The
man whose protection from wrong
rests wholly upon the benevolence of
another man or of a congress is a slave
a man without rights
It would be interesting to hear what
Benjamin Harrison would have to say
in the presence of such a decision as
was delivered by Justice Brown When
congress levied the Porto Rican tariff
GeneralHarrison referred to it as a
serious departure from right princi
ples What would he have thought
had be known that the highest court
in the land had solemnly given its sanc
tion to that serious departure from
right principles
Toying With the Constitution
The Boston Journal thinks the op
ponents of imperialism should be
thankful because of the supreme
courts Porto Rican decision The
Journal says that had the court held
that the constitution followed the flag
and extended over our new
possessions it would be impossible to
alienate any of these islands in the fu
ture This is so according to the
Journal because there is nothing in
the constitution that warrants the sur
render of any territory or any people
once formally pronounced American
Will the Journal take another look
at the constitution and discover if it
can any authority therein either di
rect or implied for the government of
subject peoples
For people who are so ready to ig
nore the constitution so quick to set
themselves above the constitution the
imperialists are very prompt to rush to
the constitution to find prohibitions
against doing that which they do not
want to do and authority for doin g
that which they want to
Is Is All Caution In the Cuban Affair
When the Cuban commission visited
Washington they were told by Secre
tary of War Root that the Piatt amend
ment was the law of the land that the
president was powerless to change that
law and before the executive could ob
tain authority to act in the premises
the Piatt amendment as a whole must
be adopted
The Piatt amendment as a whole has
been adopted and now the Washing
ton dispatches say that the administra
tion counsellors have concluded that it
would not be wise for the president to
act in the matter of withdrawing the
troops from Cuba even after a govern
ment shall be organized there until he
shall have submitted the question of
American evacuation to congress It
is stated that the president has fully
made up his mind that he will not act
upon his own responsibility in the
premises
Is it possible to regard all this as
mere caution and a desire to conform
to the laws and the equities of the sit
uation Are not the people justified in
suspecting that there is a vust amount
of insincerity and hypocrisy in the ad
jninistrations attitude on the Cuban
question
The man who believes that he bene
fits himself by taxing himself poor to
make others rich is not in a good posi
tion to poke fun at those who believe
in the faith cure
General MacArthur still acts on the
assumption that telling about it not
stealing the commissary goods is what
menaces the military situation
It is estimated that 75000 yards of
ribbon will be required to properly fit
out Great Britains South African war
medals This is only about three yards
of ribbon for each British soldier who
who has died in the unjust war upon
the Boers
The money the shipping subsidy pro
motors ask for would make habitable
many millions of acres of western arid
land But the benefits of irrigation
would be enjoyed by the many while
the subsidy would be enjoyed by the
CAREER FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Sack Should Pit Herself for Soisatblnsr
as a Vocation
The strenuous life of today demands
that a young woman no less than a
young man should have definite ideas
concerning a career and that her edu
cational work and particularly her
college training shall be along the
line of preparation for such career At
least this is the opinion that is en
tertained by the up-to-date girl and her
family and the number of young girls
who are entering the professions or
fitting themselves for business life
proves that the contingent of the com
munity which believes In professional
or business careers for women is a
large one and steadily growing There
is one woman in town a prominent
worker In clubs and philanthropic as
sociations who has carved out a ca
reer for herself in a literary way and
is desirous and even anxious that her
boys and girls shall have a definite
life work Three of the children havo
pretty well defined ideas as to what
they desire to make their life work
including the elder girl who is yet at
college The remaining child the sec-
ond daughter has no settled opinions
as to her career and her mother in
discussing her childrens futures with
a friend said recently in response to
her visitors comment upon the pretti
ness of this young girl Yes she is
pretty but there it ends She is just
a dear pretty goose without any spe
cial ability br inclinations and I sup
pose shell have to marry The tone
more than the words conveyed the im
pression that marriage was the opposite
of a desirable career and the resort
only of the girl with mediocre talent
supplemented by considerable personal
charm although the woman who mado
the observation was the happiest of
wives and has never entirely recov
ered from the effects of her husbands

DAN DALYS GOLF STORY
He Hits Upon Stage Jokes Sot Made to
Order
Stage jokes are rarely made to or
der said Dan Daly to a writer in the
New York World Mine turn up in
all sorts of queer ways In a barroom
the other night I heard a fellow say
he was going to open a saloon on
Broadway Who did you ever whip
asked the bartender The next night
I worked it into The Girl From Up
There and it gets a bigger laugh
than anything else I say My most suc
cessful stage joke the golf story
came to me by accident too One after
noon while lounging about the Casino
stage I picked up a scrap of news
paper that had evidently been used to
wrap up something In glancing it
over I found the golf story credited
to Exchange I dont even know what
paper it was as part of the page was
torn off It looked like one of those
patent insides used in small towns
The odd thing about it all was that I
was never allowed to tell the whole
story You know it goeson to explain
that after you hit the ball you walk
a mile and that if you find it the same
day you win At that point the audi
ence thought the climax had been
reached and laughed The first time I
tried to finish the story but nobody
heard me and I never tried it again It
would have been useless The story
continues that if you dont find the ball
the same day you send your man to
look for it the next and if he finds it
he wins After awhile I saw that the
audience was right and that the story
really ended better where they insist
ed it should At first though it mada
me pretty mad
Giants Kettles In Minnesota
Tn the Interstate Park near Taylors
Falls Minnesota has been discovered
a singular group of giants kettles
or potholes covering an area of two
or three acres and ranging in diameter
from less than a foot to 25 feet and
in depth from one foot to 84 feet They
have been bored in exceedingly hard
rock and in many cases they are like
wells in shape the ratio of width to
depth varying from one to five up to
one to seven Mr Warren Upham
ascribes jheir origin to torrents fall
ing through glacial moulins at the
time when the northern territory of
the United States was burled under
ice As with similar pot holes else
where rounded boulders are occasion
ally found at the bottom of the cavi

Earthquake Swallows a afce
An earthquake wrecked several
buildings in the town of Aulton Mex
ico and then passed on to Zopothon
where it sported with the waters of a
big lake At first the waters seemed
in a state of great agitation and then
they subsided and gradually disap
peared The earthquake had caused a
fissure in the bed of the lake and
through this the lake had passed out
of sight
