Tell me what it Is. Tell me, Dnve. Perhaps I can help." Dave was silent for a moment, watching her. Suddenly it occurred to him that Edith Duncan was beauti ful. If she had not qulto tho fino features of Irene she had a certain softness of expression, n certain mellowness, even tenderness, of lip and eye; a certain womanly delicacy "Edith," he Bald, "you'ro white. Why Is It that the woman a man loves will fall him, nnd tho woman ho only likes stays true?" "Oh!" she cried, nnd ho could not jguess tho depths from which her cry "Yes," He Answered, "I Have to a Man." Kill was wrung, asked you, sorry." ... "I should not have Dave," she said. "I'm They stood a moment, neither wish ing to move nway. "You said you had something that must be done at once," Bhc reminded him at length. "Yes," he answered. "I havo to kill a man. Then I'm going to join up with tho army." Her hands were again upon him. "But you mustn't, Dave," she pleaded. "You can't fight for your country then. You will only Increase Its troubles in these troubled times. Don't think I'm pleading for him, Dave, but for you, for the sake of us for tho sako of those who care." He took her hands In his and raised them to his shoulders and drew her fnco clope to his. Then, speaking very slowly, and with each word by Itself, "Do you really care?" he said. "Oh, Dave!" "Then come to my room and talk to me. Talk to mo I Talk to mo I For God's sake talk to mo! I must talk to someone." Sho followed him. Inside tho room he had himself under control again. He told her the story, all he knew. When ho had finished she arose and walked to one of tho windows nnd stood looking with unseeing eyes upon the street. For the second time In his life Dave Eldcn had laid his heart baro to her, and again after all these years ho still talked as friend to friend. That wns It. She was under no delusion. Dave's eyes were as blind to her love ns they had been that night when he had first told her of Irene Hardy. And sho could not tell him. Most of all she could not tell him now. . . . She had waited all these years, and still sho must wait. Dave's eyes were upon her form, silhouetted against the window. It oc curred to him that In form Edith was very much like Irene. Ho recalled that In those dead past days when they used to rldo together Edith had re minded him of Irene. When sho stood silent so long ho spoke again. "I'm afraid I haven't played a very heroic part," ho said, somewhat shamefacedly. "I should havo burled my secret In my heart; burled It oven from you; perhaps most of all from you. But you can advise me, Edith. I will valuo whatever you say." Sho trembled until she thought he must Bee her, nnd sho feared to trust her voice, but sho could delay a reply no longer. "Dave," sho said at length, "why should you tnko Conwnrd's word In such a inntter as this?" MI didn't take Conward's word. That's why I didn't kill him nt once. It wasn't hla word, It was tho insult that cut. But sho tried to save him. Bho throw herself upon me. Sho would havo taken tho bullet herself rather than lot It find hlra. That was what that was what" "I know, Dave." Sho had to hold herself in check lest tho tenderness that welled within her, nnd would slmpe words of endearing sympathy fa her mind, should find utterance In jppeech.

Be cause If you loved Ircno a week ngo you love her tonight" "Edith," ho snld, "there Is no way of explaining this. You can't under stand. I know you have given your self up to a life of service, nnd I honor you very much, and all that, but there are somo things you won't be able to understand. You can't under stand Just how much I loved Irene. Have you never known of lovo being turned to hate?" "No. Other impulses may be. but not love. Lovo can no more turn to hate than sunlight can turn to dark ness. Believe me, Dave, If you hate Irene now you never loved her. Lis ten: 'Lovo bcareth all things, bullev cth all things, hopcth all things, en durcth all things' 1" "Not all things, Edith; not nil things." "It says all things." Dave was silent for somo time. When he spoke again sho caught a dif ferent sound In his voice a tone ns though his soul in those few moments had gone through a lifetime of expe rience. "Edith," he said, "when you repeat ed those words I knew you had some thing that I have not. I knew It, not by words but by the way you snld them. You made mc know thnt In your own life, if you loved, you would bo ready to enduro all things. Toll me, Edith, how may this thing be done?" She trembled with delight at the new tone In his voice, for sho knew that for him life would never ngrln be the empty, flippant, selfish, irre sponsible thing which In the past he had called life. "In your case," sho said, "tho course is simple. It Is just a case of for giving." He gazed for a time Into the street, while thoughts of bitterness and re venge fought for domination of his mind. "Edith," he said, at length, "must I forgive?" "I do not say you must," she an swered. "I merely say if you nre wise you will. Nothing, It seems to mc, is so much misunderstood as forgiveness. Tho one who Is forgiven may merely escape punishment, but the on who forgives experiences a positive spir itual expansion." "Is that Christianity?" ho ventured. "It is one side of Christianity. The other side Is service. If you nre will ing to forgive and ready to serve I don't think you need worry much over the details of your creed. Creeds, after nil, are not expressed In words but In lives. When you know how n man lives you know what he believes always." "Suppose I forgive what then?" "Service. You are needed right now, Dave forgive my frankness your country needs you right now. You must dismiss this grievance from your mind, nt least dismiss your resent ment over it, and then place yourself at the disposal of your country." "That Is what I had been thinking of," he said. "At least that part about serving my country, although I don't think my motives were ns high as you would make them. But tho war can't ln&r. It is unbelievable." "I'm not so sure," she answered gravely. "Of course I know nothing about Germany. But I do know some thing about our own people. I know how selfish nnd Individualistic and sordid and money-grnbblng we hnve been; how slothful and Incompetent and self-satisfied we have been; und I fenr it will take n long war and sac rifices and tragedies altogether be yond our present Imagination to make us unselfish nnd public-spirited nnd clean and generous. I nm not wor rying about tho defent of Germany. If our civilization is better than that of Germany wo shall win, ultimately, and if our civilization is worse than thnt of Germany we shall be defeated ultimately and wb 6hall deserve to be defeated. "But I rather think that neither of tho alternatives will bo the result. I rather think tliat the test of war will show that there nro elements In Gor mnn civilization which nro better than ours, nnd elements In our civilization which nro better than theirs, nnd that the good elements will survive and form tho basis of a new civilization better than either." "If that Is so," Dave replied, "If this war is but tho working of Immu tablo law which proposes to put nil the elements of civilization to the supremo test and retain only thoso which nro Justifiable by that test, why should I or anyone else fight? And," ho added, ns on afterthought, "what about that principle of forgiveness?" "Wo must fight," sho nnswered, "be causo it Is tho law that wo must fight ; because it Is only by fighting thnt we can Justify tho principles for which wo fight. If we hold our principles ns be ing not worth fighting for tho now civi lization will throw thoso principles in tho discard. And that, too, covers the. question of forgiveness. Forgiveness, In fact, does not enter Into the con sideration at all. "We most fight; not because we hate A By Robert J. C.

The Impulse must be love, not hate." She hnd turned and fneed him while she spoke, and ho felt himself strange ly carried nway by tho earnest ness of her argument. What n wonderful woman she was I And ns lie looked nt her ho again thought of Irene, nnd suddenly he felt himself engulfed In n gloat tenderness, nnd he knew that even yet "What am I to do?" he said. "What am I to do?" In the dnrkness of her own nhndow she set her teeth for that nnswer. It was to be tho crowning act of self renunciation nnd It strained every liber of her resolution. "You hnd bettor go overseas nnd enlist In England," she told him calm ly, although her nails were biting her palms. "You will get quicker action thnt way. And when you como back you must see Irene, nnd you must lenrn from your own heart whether you really loved her or not. And If you find you did not, then then you will bo free to to to think of somo other womnn." "I am afraid I shall never care to think of nny other womnn," ho nn swered, "except you. But somo way you're different. I don't think of you as a womnn, you know ; not really, In n way. I can't explain It, Edith, but you're something more something better than nil that." Ho had sprung to his feet. "Edith, I can never thank you enough for what you have said to me tonight. You havo put some spirit back Into my body. I ntn going to follow your ndvlce. There's n train east In two hours and I'm going on It. Fortu nately my property, or most of It, has dissolved the way It came." Sho moved toward him with extend ed hnnd. "Goodby, Dave," sho said. He held her hnnd fast in his. "Good by, Edith. I can never forgot I can never repay all you have been. It may sound foolish to you after all I have said, but I sometimes wonder If If I had not met Irene If " Ho paused nnd went hot with embarrass ment. What would she think of him.? An hour ngo he hnd been ready to kill or be killed In grief over his frus trated love, and nlrendy he was prac tically making love to her. Hnd he brought her to his room for this? What a hypocrite he was! "Forgive me, Edith," he said, as ho released her. "I am not quite my self. ... I hold you In very high respect as one of God's good women, Goodby 1" CHAPTER XIV. When Irene Hardy pursued jOnvt from the house tho roar of his motor car was already drowned In the hum of the city streets. Hntless, sho ran the length of a full block; then, real izing the futility of such a chase, re turned with almost equal haste to her home. "What Is tho mcntilng of this?" sho demanded of Conwnrd. "Why did he threnten to shoot and why did he leave as ho did? You know. Tell me." '!I am sure I wish I could tell you," snld Conwnrd with nil his uccustonied suavity. In truth Conwnrd, having somewhat recovered from his fright, was in rather good spirits. Things hnd gone better than ho hnd dared to hope. Elden wns eliminated, for the present, nt nny rate, nnd now was the time to win Irene. Sho stood beforo him, flushed nnd vibrating nnd with fln'shlng eyes. "You're lying, Conwnrd," she said de- "You'ro Lying, Gonward." llberately. "First you lied to him, and now you Ho to me. Thero can bo no other explanation. Whero Is that gun? Ho snld I would know what to do with It." "I havo It," said Conwnrd, partly carried off his feet by her violence. "I will keep it until you nro a llttlo moro reasonable, nnd perhaps a llttlo moro respectful."
