CHAPTER IV Continued
Come then said Jason the
guards have gone that way to Reyk
javik Its this way to Thingvellir
over the hill yonder and through the
Chasm of All Men and down by the
lake to Mount of Laws
Then Jason wound his right arm
about the waist of Sunlocks and Sun
locks rested his lef hand on the shoul
der of Jason and so they started out
again over that gaunt wilderness that
was once a sea of living fire Bravely
they struggled on with words of cour
age and good cheer passing between
them and Sunlocks tried to be strong
for Jasons sake and Jason tried to be
blind for sake of Sunlocks If Sun
locks stumbled Jason pretended not
to know it though his strong arm bore
him up and when Jason spoke of
water and said they would soon come
to a whole lake of it Sunlocks pre
tended that he was no longer thirsty
Thus like little children playing at
make believe they tottered on side by
side arm through arm yoked together
by a bond far tighter than ever bound
them before for the love that was
their weakness was Gods own
strength
But no power of spirit could take
the place of power of body and Sun
locks grew faint and very feeble
Is the sun still shining he asked
at one time
Yes said Jason
Whereupon Sunlocks added sadly
And am I blind blind blind
Courage whispered Jason the
lake is yonder I can see it plainly
Well have water soon
Its not that said Sunlocks but
something else that troubles me
What else said Jason
That I am blind and sick and have
a broken hand a broken heart and a
broken brain and am not worth sav
ing
Lean heavier on my shoulder and
wind your arm about my neck whis
pered Jason
Sunlocks struggled on a little longer
and then the power of life fell low in
him and he could walk no farther
Let me go he said I will lie down
here awhile
And when Jason had dropped him
gently to the ground thinking he
meant to rest a little and then con
tinue his journey Sunlocks said very
gently
Now save yourself I am only a
burden to you Escape or you will
be captured and taken back
What cried Jason and leave you
here to die
That may be my fate in any case
said Sunlocks faintly so go brother
go farewell and God bless you
Courage whispered Jason again
I know a farm not far away and the
good man that keeps it He will give
us milk and bread and well sleep un
der his roof tonight and start afresh
in the morning
But the passionate voice fell on a
deaf ear for Sunlocks was unconscious
before half the words were spoken
Then Jason lifted him to his shoulder
once more and set out for the third
time over the rocky waste
It would be a weary task to tell of
the adventures that afterwards befell
him In the fading sunlight of that
day he crossed trackless places void
of any sound or sight of life silent
save for the horse croak of the raven
without sign of human foregoer ex
cept some pryamidal heaps of stones
that once served as mournful sentinels
to point the human scapegoat to the
cities of refuge
He came up to the lake and saw that
it was poisonous for the plovers that
flew over it fell dead from its fumes
and when he reached the farm he
found it a ruin the good farmer gone
and his hearth cold He toiled
through mud and boggy places and
crossed narrow bridle paths along per
pendicular sides of precipices The
night came on as he walked the short
night of that northern summer where
the sun never sets in blessed darkness
tat weary eyes may close in sleep but
a blood red glow burns an hour in the
northern sky at midnight and then
the bright rises again over the unrest
ed world He was faint for bread and
athirst for water but still he strug
gled on on on on over the dismal
chaos
Sometimes when the pang of thirst
was strongest he remembered what he
had heard of madness that comes of
it that the afflicted man walks round
in a narrow circle round and round
over the self same place as if the
devils bridle bound him like an un
broken horse until nature fails and
he faints and falls Yet thinking of
himself so in that weary spot with
Sunlocks over him he shuddered but
took heart of strength and struggled
on
And all this time Sunlocks lay inert
and lifeless on his shoulder in a deep
unconsciousness that was broken by
two moments of complete sensibility
In the first of these he said
I must have been dreaming for I
thought I had found my brother
Your brother said Jason
Yes my brother for I have got one
though I have never seen him said
Sunlocks We were not together in
childhood as other brothers are but
when we grew to be men I set out in
search of him I thought I had found
him at last but it was in hell
God-a-mercy cried Jason
And when I looked at him said
Sunlocks it seemed to me that he was
you Yes you for he had the face of
my yoke fellow at the Mines I thought
you were my brother indeed
Sit still brother whispered Jason
lie still and rest
In the second moment of his con
sciousness Sunlocks said Do you
-think the judges will listen to us
Nothing else
Nothing
Who is this other man asked thb
Captain
What man said Greeba
Then they told her that her husband
-was gone having been carried off by a
fellow prisoner who had effected the
escape of both of them

They must they shall said Jason
But the governor himself may be
one of them said Sunlocks
What matter said Jason
He is a hard man do you know
who he is
No said Jason but he added
quickly Wait Ah now I remember
Will he be there
Yes
So much the better
Why said Sunlocks
And Jason answered with heat and
flame of voice Because I hate and
loathe him
Has he wronged you also said
Sunlocks
Yes said Jason and I -have wait
ed and watched five years to requite
him
Have you never met with him
Never But Ill see him now And
if he denies me this justice Ill
What
At that he paused and then said
quickly No matter
But Sunlocks understood and said
God forbid it
Half an hour later Red Jason still
carrying Michael Sunlocks was pass
ing through the Chasm of All Men a
grand gloomy diabolical fissure open
ing into the valley of Thingvellir It
was morning of the day following his
escape from the Sulphur Mines of Kri
suvik The air was clear the sun was
bright and a dull sound such as the
sea makes when far away came up
from the plain below It was a deep
multitudinous hum of many voices
Jason heard it and his heavy face
lightened with the vividness of a grim
joy
CHAPTER V
THE MOUNT OF LAWS
I
And now that we may stride on the
faster we must step back a pace or
two What happened to Greeba after
she parted from her father at
vik and took up her employment as
nurse to the sick prisoners we partly
know already from the history of Rer
Jason and Michael Sunlocks Accused
of unchastity she was turned away
from the hospital and suspected of
collusion to effect the escape of some
prisoner unrecognized sh e was ordered
to leave the neighborhood of the Sul
phur Mines But where her affections
are at stake a womans wit is more
than a match for a mans cunning
and Greeba contrived to remain at Kri
suvik For her material needs she
still had the larger part of the money
that her brothers in their scheming
selfishness had brought her and she
had her child to cheer her solitude
It was a boy unchristened as yet save
in the secret place of her heart where
it bore a name that she dare not
speak And if its life was her shame
in the eyes of the good folk who gave
her shelter it was a dear and sweet
dishonor for well she knew and loved
to remember that one word from her
would turn it to glory and to joy
If only I dare tell she would whis
per into her babes ear again and
again If I only dare
But its fathers name she never ut
tered and so with pride for her se
cret and honor for her disgrace she
clung the closer to both though they
were sometimes hard to bear and
she thought a thousand times they
were a loving and true revenge on him
that had doubted her love and told her
she had married him for the poor glory
of his place
Not daring to let herself to be seen
within range of the Sulphur Mines she
sought out the prisoner priest from
time to time where he lived in the
partial liberty of the Free Command
and learned from him such good tid
ings of her husband as came his way
The good man knew nothing of the
identity of Michael Sunlocks in that
world of bondage where all identity
was lost save that A25 was the hus
band of the woman who waited with
out But that was Greebas sole se
cret and the true soul kept it
And soon the long winter passed and
the summer came and Greeba was
content to live by the side of Sun
locks content to breathe the air he
breathed to have the same sky above
her to share the same- sunshine and
the same rain only repining when she
remembered that whileshe was look
ing for love into the eyes of their
child he was slaving like a beast of
burden but waiting waiting waiting
withal for the chance she knew not
what that must release him yet she
knew not when
Her great hour came at length but
an awful blow came with it One day
the prisoner priest hurried up to the
farm where she lived and said I have
sad news for you forgive me pris
oner A25 has met with an accident
She did not stay to hear more but
with her child in her arms she hur
ried away to the Mines and there in
the tempest of her trouble the secret
of months went to the winds in an
instant
Where is he she cried Let me
see him He is my husband
Your husband said the warders
and without more ado they laid hands
upon her and carried her off to their
Captain
This woman they said turns out
to be the wife of A25
As I suspected the Captain an
swered
Where is my husband Greeba
cried What accident has befallen
him Take me to him
First tell me why you came to this
place said the Captain
To be near my husband said
Greeba
Escaped cried Greeba with a look
of bewilderment glancing from face
to face of the men about her Then
it is not true that he has met with an
accident Thank God oh thank
God And she clutched her child
closer to her breast and kissed it
We know nothing of that either
way said the Captain But tell us
who and what is this other man His
number here was B25 His name is
Jason
Jason she cried
- -Kr
Yes who is he the Captain asked
And Greeba answered after a pause
His own brother
We might have thought as much
said the Captain
There was another pause and then
Greeba said Yes his own brother
who has followed him all his life to
kill him
To be continued

TALMAGES SEEBION
PROMPT ACTION THE SUBw
JECT LAST SUNDAY
He That Obstirveth the Wind Shall
Not Sow Ecc XI 4 The Courage
of Convictions a Primary Virtue In
Man Be Bold for the Right
Copyright 1901 by Louis Klopsch N Y
Washington June 23 From a pas
sage of Scriptuse unobserved by most
readers Dr Talmage in this discourse
shows the importance of prompt action
in anything we have to do for ourselves
or others text Ecclesiastes xi 4 He
that observeth the wind shall not
sow
What do you find in this packed sen
tence of Solomons monologue I find
In it a farmer at his front door exam
ining the weather It is seedtime His
fields have been plowed and harrowed
The wheat is in the barn in sacks
ready to be taken afield and scattered
Now is the time to sow But the wind
is not favorable It may blow up a
storm before night and he may get
wet if he starts out for the sowing or
it may be a long storm that will wash
out the seed from the soil or there
may have been a long drought and the
wind may continue to blow dry weath
er The parched fields may not take
in the grain and the birds may pick
it up and the labor as well as the seed
may be wasted So he gives up the
work for that day and goes into the
house and waits to see what it will be
on the morrow On the morrow the
wind is still in the wrong direction
and for a whole week and for a month
Did you ever see such a long spell of
bad weather The lethargic and over
cautious dilatory agriculturist allows
the season to pass without sowing and
no sowing of course no harvest That
is what Solomon means when he says
in his text He that observeth the
wind shall not sow
Crisis Was Not Met
There comes a dark Sabbath morning
The pastor looks out of the window
and sees the clouds gather and then
discharge their burdens of rain In
stead of a full church it will be a hand
ful of people with wet feet and drip
ping umbrellas at the doorway or the
end of the pew The pastor has pre
pared one of his best sermons It has
cost him great research and he has
been much in prayer while preparing
it He puts the sermon aside for a clear
day and talks platitudes and goes
home quite depressed but at the same
time feeling that he has done his duty
He did not realize that in that small
audience there were at least two per
sons who ought to have had better
treatment One of those hearers was
a man in a crisis of struggle with evil
appetite A carefully prepared dis
course under the divine blessing would
have been to him complete victory
Tne fires of sin would have been ex
tinguished and his keen and brilliant
mind would have been consecrated to
the gospel ministry and he would
have been a mighty evangel and tens
of thousands of souls would have un
der the spell of his Christian eloquence
given up sin and started a new life
and throughout all the heavens there
would have been congratulation and
hosanna and after many ages of eter
nity had passed there would be celebra
tion among the ransomed of what was
accomplished one stormy Sunday in a
church on earth under a mighty gos
pel sermon delivered to 15 or 20 people
But the crisis I speak of was not prop
erly met The man in struggle with
evil habit heard that stormy day no
word that moved him He went out in
the rain uninvited and unhelped back
to his evil way and down to his over
throw Had it been a sunshiny Sabbath
he would have heard something worth
hearing But the wind blew from a
stormy direction that Sabbath day That
gospel husbandman noticed it and act
ed upon its suggestion and may dis
cover some day his great mistake He
had a sack full of the finest of the
wheat but he withheld it and some
day he will find when the whole story
Is told that he was a vivid illustration
of the truth of my text He that ob
serveth the wind shall not sow
Lacked Courage of Conviction
Communities and churches and na
tions sometimes are thrown into hys
teria and it requires a man of great
equipoise to maintain a right position
Thirty three years ago there came a
time of bitterness in American politics
and the impeachment of the president
of the United States was demanded
Two or three patriotic men at the risk
of losing their senatorial position
stood out against the demand of their
political associates and saved the coun
try from that which all people of all
parties now see would have been a ca
lamity and would have put every sub
sequent president at the mercy of his
opponents It only required the waiting
of a few months when time itself re
moved all controversy
Let us have war with England if
needs be said the most of the people
of our northern states in 1861 when
Mason and Slidell the distinguished
southerners had been taken by our
navy from the British steamer Trent
and the English government resented
the act of our government in stopping
one of their ships Give up those
prisoners said Great Britain No
said the almost unanimous opinion of
the north Do not give them up Let
us have war with England rather than
surrender them Then William H
Seward secretary of state faced one
of the fiercest storms of public opinion
ever seen in this or any other country
Seeing that the retention of those two
men was of no importance to our coun
try and that their retention would put
Great Britain and the United States in
to immediate conflict he said We
give them up They were given up
and through the resistance of popular
clamor by that one man a world wide
calamity was averted
ra
WVi -
Some of us remember as boy3 huz
zaing when Kossuth the great Hun
garian rode up Broadway New York
Most Americans were in favor of tak
ing some decided steps for Hungary
The only result of such Interference
would have been the sacrifice of all
good precedent and war with European
nations Then Daniel Webster in his
immortal Hulsemann lettter braved
a whirlwind of popular opinion and
saved this nation from useless foreign
entanglement Webster did not observe
the wind when he wrote that letter So
in state and church there have always
been men at the right time ready to
face a nation full yea a world full
of opposition
Bevrare of Overprudence
How many there are who give too
much time to watching the weather
vane and studying the barometer
Make up your mind what you are going
to do and then go ahead and do it
There always will be hindrances It is
a moral disaster if you allow prudence
to overmaster all the other graces
The Bible makes more of courage and
faith and perseverance than it does of
caution It is not once a year that the
great ocean steamers fail to sail at the
appointed time because of the storm
signals Let the weather bureau pro
phesy what hurricane or cyclone it
may next Wednesday next Thursday
next Saturday the steamers will put
out from New York and Philadelphia
and Boston harbors and will reach
Liverpool and Southampton and Glas
gow and Bremen their arrivals as cer
tain as their embarkation They can
not afford to consult the wind nor
can you in your life voyage
The grandest and best things ever
accomplished have been in the teeth
of hostility Consider the grandest en
terprise of the eternities the salvation
of a world Did the Roman empire
send up invitation to the heavens in
viting the Lord to descend amid vo
ciferations of welcome to come and
take possession of the most capacious
and ornate of the palaces and sail
Galilee with richest imperial flotilla
and walk over flowers of Solomons
gardens which were still in the out
skirts of Jerusalem No It struck
him with Insult as soon as it could
reach him Let the camel drivers in
the Bethlehem caravansary testify See
the vilest hate pursue him to the bor
ders of the Nile Watch hi3 arraign
ment as a criminal in the courts See
how they belie his every action mis
interpret his best words howl at him
with worst mobs wear him out with
sleepless nights on cold mountains
See him hoisted into a martyrdom at
which the noonday cowled itself with
midnight shadows and the rocks shook
into cataclysm and the dead started
out of their sepulcher feeling it was
no time to sleep when such horrors
were being enacted
Make Opportunities
Young man you bave planned what
you are going to be and do in the
world but you are waiting for
circumstances to become more favor
able You are like the farmer in the
text observing the wind Better start
now Obstacles will help you if you
conquer them Cut your way through

manded the United States senate with

wind blew the wrong way yet he did

on sowing
Defy Your Antagonists
The Earl of Alsatia a favorite of
Edward IH of England had excited
the jealousy of other courtiers and
one time while the king was absent
they persuaded the queen to turn a
lion loose in the court to test the
earls courage The earl rising at
break of day as was his custom came
into the courtyard and met the lion
and the jealous courtiers from the
windows watched the scene The lion
with bristling hair and a growl was
ready to spring upon the earl when
he undaunted shouted to the monster
Stand you dog Then the Hon
couched and the earl took it by thd
mane and turned it back into the cage
leaving his handkerchief on the neck
of the monster and looking up in tri
umph to the jealous courtiers who he
knew were watching from the win
dows cried out Let him among you
all that prideth himself on his pedigree
go and fetch that handkerchief And
you young man will find a lion in
your way perhaps turned loose by the
jealousy of those who would enjoy
your ruin But in the strength of God
make that lion couch By Gods help
you can do it and defy and challenge
your antagonists The Earl of Alsatia
conquered the lion by stoutness of
voice and the glare of eye but you
may overcome the Hon with the prof
fered strength of an almighty arm and
an almighty foot for God hath prom
ised Thou sjialt tread upon the Hon
and adder The young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet
Columbus by calculation made up
his mind that there must bo a new
hemisphere somewhere to balance the
old hemisphere or it would be a lop
sided world And I have found out
not by calculation but by observation
that there Is a great success for you
somewhere to balance your great
struggle Do not think that your case
is peculiar The most favored have
been pelted The mobs smashed the
windows of the Duke of Wellington
while his wife lay dead In the house
Cnrlsfs Fathomless Mercy
Whether in your life It Is a south
wind or a north wind a west wind or
an east wind that 13 now blowing
do you not feel like saying This
whole subject I now decide Lord God
through thy Son Jesus Christ my Sa
vior I am thine forever I throw
myself reckless of everything else
into the fathomless ocean of thv
mercy
But says some one in a frvolous
and rollicking way I am not like the
farmer you find In your text I do not
watch the wind What do I care about
the weather vane I am sowing now
What are you sowing my brother
Are you sowing evil habits Are you
sowing infidel and atheistic beliefs
Are you sowing hatreds revenges dis
contents unclean thoughts or unclean
actions If so you will raise a big
crop a very big crop The farmer
sometimes plants things that do not
come up and he has to plant them
over again But those evil things that
you have planted will take root and
come up in harvest of disappointment
In harvest of pain in harvest of
despair in harvest of fire Go
right through some of the unhappy
homes of Washington and New York
and all the cities and through the hos
pitals and penitentiaries and you will
find stacked up piled together the
sheaves of such an awful harvest
Hosea one of the first of all the writ
ing prophets although four of the
other prophets are put before him in
the canon of Scripture wrote an as
tounding metaphor that may be quoted
as descriptive of those who do evil
They have sown the wind and they
shall reap the whirlwind Some one
has said Children may be strangled
but deeds never
There are other persons who truth
fully say I am doing the best I can
The clouds are thick and the Wind
blows the wrong way but I am sow
ing prayers and sowing kindnesses
and sowing helpfulness and sowing
hopes of a better world -Good for
you my brother my sister What you
plant will come up What you sow
will rise into a harvest the wealth of
which you will not know until you go
up higher I hear the rustle of your
harvest in the bright fields of heavens
The soft gales of that land as they
pass bend the full headed grain in
curves of beauty It is golden In the
light of a sun that never sets As
you pass in you will not have to gird
on the sickle for the reapingand there
will be nothing to remind you of
weary husbandmen toiling under hot
summer sun on earth and lying down
under the shadow of the tree at noon
tide so tired were they so very tired1
No no your harvest will be reaped1
without any toil of your hands with
out any besweating of your brow
Christ in one of his sermons told how1
your harvest will be gathered when
he said The reapers are the angels
GROWTH OF OCEAN TRAVEL
Ships Now Carry from 125 to 235 Cabin
Passengers
The marked increase in the volume
of ocean steamship travel of late yeara
has occasioned extended comment
among agents of trans Atlantic lines
It is said that many Americans make
six or more trips a year to the other
side where formerly they did not
cross at all Englishmen and Germans
who are engaged in the manufactur
ing trades industrials and even food
raising visit this side much oftener
now Quite a few come to look around
with an idea of ascertaining how
Americans have made such gigantic
commercial strides in such a short
time but the great majority realizing
the necessity for adopting American
methods where practicable come here
to purchase machinery and the like
without which it would be impossible
for them to copy Yankee thrift and in
dustry Not nearly so common on the
ocean ships as he was five or ten years
ago is the English ranchman bound
for the far west He is now In the
mining or engineering business in
Mexico and Central America although
there are still many Britons engaged
in the cattle raising business out west
and throughout Canada Some of the
older vessels of our line shipped a
large number of mules and horses that
were sent to South Africa from New
Orleans for English army service It
