Nor did I think this practice justified by the confession made in the Preface, importing, that the Compiler had taken the particulars he deliver'd from the Writings of others. For, this general and perfunctory acknowledgment neither doth right to particular Authors, nor, by naming them, enables the Reader to know, whether the things deliver'd come from persons fit to be credited or not: And therefore, since 'tis but too likely, that such Concealment of the Names, if not Usurpation of the Labours of the Benefactors to Philosophy, will prove much more forbidding to many others to impart their Experiments, than as yet they have to our generous Author; it seems to be the Interest of the Commonwealth of Learning openly to discountenance so discouraging a practice, and to shew, that they do not think it fit that Possessors of useful pieces of

Rh And learn, as latent fraud is shown In others’ faith, to doubt his own.

“With dream and falsehood, simple trust And pious hope we tread in dust; Lost the calm faith in goodness,—lost The baptism of the Pentecost!

“Alas!—the blows for error meant Too oft on truth itself are spent, As through the false and vile and base Looks forth her sad, rebuking face.

“Not ours the Theban’s charmëd life; We come not scathless from the strife! The Python’s coil about us clings, The trampled Hydra bites and stings!

“Meanwhile, the sport of seeming chance, The plastic shapes of circumstance, What might have been we fondly guess, If earlier born, or tempted less.

“And thou, in these wild, troubled days, Misjudged alike in blame and praise, Unsought and undeserved the same The skeptic’s praise, the bigot’s blame;—

“I cannot doubt, if thou hadst been Among the highly favored men Who walked on earth with Fénelon, He would have owned thee as his son;

“And, bright with wings of cherubim Visibly waving over him, Seen through his life, the Church had seemed All that its old confessors dreamed.”

“I would have been,” Jean Jacques replied, “The humblest servant at his side, Obscure, unknown, content to see How beautiful man’s life may be!

“Oh, more than thrice-blest relic, more Than solemn rite or sacred lore, The holy life of one who trod The foot-marks of the Christ of God!

“Amidst a blinded world he saw The oneness of the Dual law; That Heaven’s sweet peace on Earth began, And God was loved through love of man.

“He lived the Truth which reconciled The strong man Reason, Faith, the child; In him belief and act were one, The homilies of duty done!”

So speaking, through the twilight gray The two old pilgrims went their way, What seeds of life that day were sown, The heavenly watchers knew alone.

Time passed, and Autumn came to fold Green Summer in her brown and gold; Time passed, and Winter’s tears of snow Dropped on the grave-mound of Rousseau.

“The tree remaineth where it fell, The pained on earth is pained in hell!” So priestcraft from its altars cursed The mournful doubts its falsehood nursed.

Ah! well of old the Psalmist prayed, “Thy hand, not man’s, on me be laid!” Earth frowns below, Heaven weeps above, And man is hate, but God is love!

No Hermits now the wanderer sees, Nor chapel with its chestnut-trees; A morning dream, a tale that ’s told, The wave of change o’er all has rolled.

Yet lives the lesson of that day; And from its twilight cool and gray Comes up a low, sad whisper, “Make The truth thine own, for truth’s own sake.

“Why wait to see in thy brief span Its perfect flower and fruit in man? No saintly touch can save; no balm Of healing hath the martyr’s palm.

“Midst soulless forms, and false pretence Of spiritual pride and pampered sense, A voice saith, ‘What is that to thee? Be true thyself, and follow Me!’

“In days when throne and altar heard The wanton’s wish, the bigot’s word, And pomp of state and ritual show Scarce hid the loathsome death below,—

“Midst fawning priests and courtiers foul, The losel swarm of crown and cowl, White-robed walked François Fénelon, Stainless as Uriel in the sun!

 knowledge should be strongly tempted to envy them to the Publick, to the end onely that a few Compilers should not be put upon so reasonable and easie a work, as by a few words or names to shew themselves just, if not grateful.

But not to keep the Reader any longer from the perusal of these Tracts themselves, I shall conclude with intimating onely, that what our Author saith in one of them concerning the Insufficiency of the Chymical Hypothesis for explaining the Effects of Nature, is not at all intended by him to derogate from the sober Professors of Chymistry, or to discourage them from useful Chymical Operations; forasmuch as I had the satisfaction, some years since, to see in the Authors hands a Discourse of his about the Usefulness of Chymistry for the Advancement of Natural Philosophy; with which also 'tis hoped he will e're long gratifie the Publick.

44   “Yet in his time the stake blazed red, The poor were eaten up like bread: Men knew him not; his garment’s hem No healing virtue had for them.

“Alas! no present saint we find; The white cymar gleams far behind, Revealed in outline vague, sublime, Through telescopic mists of time!

“Trust not in man with passing breath, But in the Lord, old Scripture saith; The truth which saves thou mayest not blend With false professor, faithless friend.

“Search thine own heart. What paineth thee In others in thyself may be; All dust is frail, all flesh is weak; Be thou the true man thou dost seek!

“Where now with pain thou treadest, trod The whitest of the saints of God! To show thee where their feet were set, The light which led them shineth yet.

“The footprints of the life divine, Which marked their path, remain in thine; And that great Life, transfused in theirs, Awaits thy faith, thy love, thy prayers!”

A lesson which I well may heed, A word of fitness to my need; So from that twilight cool and gray Still saith a voice, or seems to say.

We rose, and slowly homeward turned, While down the west the sunset burned; And, in its light, hill, wood, and tide, And human forms seemed glorified.

The village homes transfigured stood, And purple bluffs, whose belting wood Across the waters leaned to hold The yellow leaves like lamps of gold.

Then spake my friend: “Thy words are true; Forever old, forever new, These home-seen splendors are the same Which over Eden’s sunsets came.

“To these bowed heavens let wood and hill Lift voiceless praise and anthem still; Fall, warm with blessing, over them, Light of the New Jerusalem!

“Flow on, sweet river, like the stream Of John’s Apocalyptic dream! This mapled ridge shall Horeb be, Yon green-banked lake our Galilee!

“Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more For olden time and holier shore; God’s love and blessing, then and there, Are now and here and everywhere.”

Without the walls of Strasburg, by the Rhine, Pondering the solemn Miracle of Life; As one who, wandering in a starless night, Feels momently the jar of unseen waves, And hears the thunder of an unknown sea, Breaking along an unimagined shore.

 * And as he walked he prayed. Even the same

Old prayer with which, for half a score of years, Morning, and noon, and evening, lip and heart Had groaned: “Have pity upon me, Lord! Thou seest, while teaching others, I am blind. Send me a man who can direct my steps!”

 * Then, as he mused, he heard along his path

A sound as of an old man’s staff among The dry, dead linden-leaves; and, looking up, He saw a stranger, weak, and poor, and old.

 * “Peace be unto thee, father!” Tauler said,

“God give thee a good day!” The old man raised Slowly his calm blue eyes. “I thank thee, son; But all my days are good, and none are ill.”

And I. we may consider, that there may be three differing ways of treating Historically of Particular Qualities. For either one may in a full and methodical History prosecute the Phænomena; or one may make a Collection of various Experiments and Observations whence may be gathered divers Phænomena to illustrate several, but not all of the Heads or Parts of such an ample or methodical History; or (in the third place) one may in a more Rh

 TEA-PARTY IN TLACOLULA 45

‘“ Don’t want any,’’ he snapped, turning his face away as if he had been offered a plate of Mexicans, and leaving Kate with the dish suspended.

Mrs Norris quickly but definitely took the plate, saying :

“ Judge Burlap is afraid of Sesame Seed, he prefers the cave shut.”” And she handed the dish quietly to Cipriano, who was watching the old man’s bad manners with black, snake-like eyes.

‘“ Did you see that article by Willis Rice Hope, in the Ezcelsior? ** suddenly snarled the Judge, to his hostess.

‘1 did. I thought it very sensible.”

‘‘ The only sensible thing that’s been said about these Agrarian Laws. Sensible! I should think so. Why Rice Hope came to me, and I put him up to a few things. But his article says everything, doesn’t miss an item of import- ance.”

é Quite ! ’ said Mrs Norris, with rather stony attention. If only saying would alter things, Judge Burlap.”’

‘ Saying the wrong thing has Jone all the mischief! *’ snapped the Judge. ‘‘ Fellows like Garfield Spence coming down here and talking a lot of criminal talk. Why the town’s full of Socialists and from New York.”

Mrs Norris adjusted her pmce-nez

‘ Fortunately,” she said, * they don’t come out to Tlaco- lula, so we needn’t about them. Mrs Henry, let me give you some more tea.’

‘“ Do you read ’* the Judge spat out, at Owen, in his big shell spectacles, was evidently a rag to his irritable fellow-countryman.

‘ No! ”? said Owen, round as a caanon-shot.

Mrs Norris once more adjusted her eye-glasses.

 confin'd way content ones self to deliver such Experiments and Observations of the Production, or the Destruction or Change of this or that Quality, as, being duly reason'd on, may suffice to shew wherein the nature of that Quality doth consist, especially in opposition to those erroneous conceits that have been entertained about it. Of the First of these three ways of treating of a Quality I pretend not to have given any compleat example; but you will find, that I have begun such Histories in my Specimens about Fluidity and Firmness, and in the Experiments, Observations, &c. that I have put together about Cold. The Second sort of Historical Writings I have given an Instance of in my Experiments about Colours; but in these ensuing Notes, the occasion I had to make them having obliged me chiefly to have an eye to the disproval of the errours of the Peripateticks and the Chymists about them, I hope I shall not be thought to have fallen very short in my Attempt, if I have (here and there) perform'd what may be required in the Third way of writing Historically of a Quality; my present Design being chiefly to give an Intelligent and Historical Account of the Possible Mechanical Origination, not of the various

 Phænomena of the particular Qualities succinctly mentioned in these Notes; though, my secondary end being to become a Benefactor to the History of Qualities by providing Materials for my self or better Architects, I have not scrupled to adde to those, that tend more directly to discover the Nature or Essence of the Quality treated of, and to derive it from Mechanical Principles, some others (which happen'd to come in my way) that acquaint us but with some of the less luciferous Phænomena.

II. That you may not mistake what is driven at in many of the Experiments and Reasonings deliver'd or propos'd in the ensuing Notes about Particular Qualities, I must desire you to take notice with me, what it is that I pretend to offer you some proofs of. For, if I took upon me to demonstrate, that the Qualities of bodies cannot proceed from (what the Schools call) Substantial Forms, or from any other Causes but Mechanical, it might be reasonably enough expected, that my Argument should directly exclude them all. But since, in my Explications of Qualities, I pretend only, that they may be explicated by Mechanical Principles, without enquiring, whether they are explicable by any other; that which I need to prove, is,

Rh brothers. Was this unity on the industrial field? And is it any wonder that the men accustomed to so scab upon their fellow-workers in a labor struggle should also scab it upon their class in a political struggle? Is it not rather common sense to expect that the recognition of the necessity for concerted common action of all workers against the capitalist enemy in the industrial battle ground must precede the realization of the wisdom of common action as a class on the political battlefield? The men who are taught that it is all right to continue working for a capitalist against whom their shopmates of a different craft are on strike are not likely to see any harm in continuing to vote for a capitalist nominee at the polls even when he is opposed by the candidate of a Labor organization. Political scabbery is born of industrial scabbery; it is its legitimate offspring.

Instances of this industrial disunion could be cited indefinitely. The Longshoremen of the Port of New York went out on strike. They at first succeeded in tying up the ships of the Shipping Trust, great as its wealth is, and in demonstrating the real power of labor when unhampered by contracts with capital. The Shipping Trust was taken by surprise, but quickly recovered, and as usual imported scabs from all over the country. Then was seen what the unity of the working class on the industrial field amounts to under present conditions. As scab longshoremen unloaded the ship, union teamsters with union buttons in their hats received the goods from their hands, loaded them into their wagons, and drove merrily away.

As scab longshoremen loaded a ship union men coaled it, and when the cargo was safely on board

One Way of Love (Lee)/Chapter 16

Richard returned to Chicago it was found that Seth's liking for him had taken practical form. He had made a will giving to Richard all the property of which he died possessed.

The fortune was not large, but enough to pay his college debt, raise the mortgage, and leave a comfortable sum for his mother—enough, indeed, to make her a woman of importance in the neighborhood.

She protested in a mild way when Richard proposed to settle the money on her. But he had grown too masterful for her. In the end she enjoyed the feeling of importance that an assured income gave her. She refused to accompany him to Chicago. It was all “Out-West” to her and very far away.

Derring found himself speeding towards Chicago, wondering whether this unexpected turn of fortune would make marriage nearer for him. But when they met he did not ask her. They assumed the old easy relation as if there had been no separation. Life sped on with days too full of content to ask promises from the future.

When the time of parting came in June he found that he could let her go with less dread than he had thought possible. The time would not be long, and with the increased freedom that had come to him in money affairs he could run East during the vacation. If trouble came to her, or harm, he could be with her in a few hours. It was with light heart that he saw her go.

He had accompanied her to the train and provided her with all the comforts for the journey that love could suggest. Between the leaves of one of the books was tucked a letter. He had not told her it was there. She would find it. The train began to move. “Good-by,” he said hurriedly, “I shall come to you if you need me. In any case I shall see you soon.”

He sat up late, working on an article for the next day. When at last, tired and exhausted, he threw himself on the bed, he fell at once into a sound sleep. He slept long and heavily. He started up with a sense of suffocation—Where was he?—What was the matter?—Was the house on fire? Before he was fairly awake he knew that the room was quiet—so quiet that he could hear the ticking of his watch. Then an awful fear came upon him—she was in danger. Great God, how the feeling mastered him! He sprang up and looked at his watch—three o'clock. He dressed quickly and went out-of-doors. He could not stay in the house. It suffocated him. He must move about or go insane.

Instinctively he turned towards the Lake. A light, fresh breeze greeted him as he came to the breakwater. He lifted his face to meet it. It would blow these foolish notions out of his brain. He had been dreaming and had been frightened by his own fancies.

He slackened his pace, listening to the soft lapping of the water against the breakwater, and looking up to the stars. Then again fear took possession of him and he quickened his step until at last he broke into a run, driven by an awful, nameless dread.

Thus he alternated between hope and fear until the first faint line of dawn appeared across the water. As he stood looking at it, longing for day to break, a sudden peace came upon him. He drew a quick breath as the tension gave way. She was safe once more. This time he did not question his mood. He knew with quiet certainty that all was well with her.

He turned away from the dawning sky and walked home. Throwing himself once more on the bed, he slept soundly until the breakfast hour. As he entered the dining-room, his heart gave a sudden leap and stood still. He thrust something far down below his consciousness. It was not a thought, it had not shape enough for that, it was formless, unrecognized.

The two young men bending eagerly over the morning paper looked up as he came in. “Have you seen the paper?—Awful accident—Miss Gordon's train.”

He reached out his hand for the paper. They gave it to him and left the table. Their departure left him alone. But he gave no sign. He unfolded his napkin and spread it across his knees before he took up the paper. He opened it and glanced down the column.—He had known before he looked.—In the list of those killed—“Helen Gordon, Chicago.”

He did not read the details of the accident. He merely noted the place where it occurred. Then he folded the paper and gave his order for breakfast. If he ate little, no one knew it. He took plenty of time for it. He listened to the discussion of the accident that went on as the boarders, one after another, came in to breakfast.

When he left the house he knew that he had exactly half an hour to report his absence at the office and catch the east-bound express. It was more than enough. He did not want to be alone and think. He saw before him long years in which he would have time to think. To-day he must go to her. He might be needed. He had said that he would come if she needed him, and that he should see her soon—“I shall see you soon.” How the wheels caught up the words and tossed them back to him. They reiterated with clanking monotony—“I shall see you soon—I shall see you soon.” Underneath the rattle and roar, between the shrieks of the engine, in the midst of the conversation around him, he heard them with awful distinctness, and wondered vaguely if he should go mad before he reached her.

He found her after a short search. He was directed to a small house, a little distance from the scene of the wreck. When he announced his errand the woman of the house looked at him closely.

“If your name is Derring, I have something for you,” she said. She disappeared for a moment and returned with a small parcel. She handed it to him.

He turned it over in his hand. There was no writing on it. “Are you sure it is for me?” he asked doubtfully.

“She was not strong enough to direct it. But she told me your name just before she died at daybreak. She said you would be sure to come, and I must give it to you.”

That he would be sure to come. Yes, she had known. He turned abruptly to the window and looked out across the flat, monotonous country. He could not trust himself to open it yet. He held it in his hand. “She was not able to direct it.” The first tears filled his eyes.

When at last he undid the parcel Seth's ring flashed in the sunlight. Underneath it was a small folded slip of paper. His fingers trembled a little as they smoothed the crumpled lines: “Loved-One,—be brave. I would gladly have lived for you. But it was not to be. I shall come back to you if I can. But if not” The last words straggled down the page and were lost.

“But if not.” Derring crushed the paper in his hand and turned to leave the house.

“Don't you want to see her, sir?”

He looked at the woman blankly, stupidly. Without a word he turned towards the door she indicated. It closed behind him and they were alone together once more. He had not thought her face would be so peaceful—nor so far away. He could not understand how she could seem so far away. She was here, close beside him. He could touch her. He put out his hand and softly stroked her cheek. He did not bend to kiss the quiet face. She was too far away for kisses. “She would come back to him if she could—But if not” Good God! How was he to bear it? He turned swiftly away. He could not stand there—near her—with that mocking, immeasurable distance between them.

He went straight from the house to the office of the superintendent and offered his services in caring for the injured. A surgeon was about to start on his rounds. Derring had been detailed to help him. The first patient was a young man about his own age. The leg was to be amputated just above the knee. Derring held his hand while the operation was preparing, speaking to him now and then and wiping the perspiration from his forehead. When all was done and the white sheet was being drawn smoothly in place once more, he struggled to consciousness, reaching out his hand for Derring and begging him not to leave him.

But the surgeon interposed promptly. “No, I can't spare him. He is too valuable. You would have had a tougher time if he had not been here. He shall come back to you by-and-by. Drink this and go to sleep.”

So Richard spent the day in the midst of suffering. Everywhere the magnetism of his touch soothed restlessness, and his personality put courage into faint hearts. No one guessed that he was carrying a hurt deeper than any he looked on or that his heart was wrung by keener suffering than any that he soothed.

Twice during the day he stole into the room where she lay, and, standing by her side, tried to span the infinite distance between them by the inspiration of love. But it was hopeless. Always he saw before his eyes a high, cold wall of darkness and at its foot a crouching figure with fingers creeping here and there to find some. opening or crevice, and, failing in this, beating itself till the blood trickled down. He knew that it was only his diseased imagination. But always the figure was there, and close at hand was the quiet face with its tranquil smile—so far away and indifferent to pain.

At night her brother came—a frank, manly young fellow, with her eyes. Derring explained his presence briefly. “I loved your sister. She never promised to marry me. But she knew I loved her.”

“She wrote about you. She said” He stopped abruptly. Their hands met in the grasp of sympathy, and then Derring left the house for the last time. He did not go again to the quiet room. She was not there. She was nearer his own heart than that.

An hour later he watched—until it was out of sight—the train that bore her away. He turned his face one more towards Chicago.

threw himself into work with the intensity of despair. He worked early and late. He dared not give himself time to think. Beauty had gone from the world—interest from life. Work was the only thing left. He plodded on in a dull, monotonous fashion. It served to kill time, and there was the chance of losing himself, for a little while, in his task.

He would work for days with feverish eagerness, for the sake of these few minutes of working oblivion, in which he could lose himself, until the dull pain that always preceded his return to consciousness became too strong to be ignored. When he turned to question its meaning, memory stood always at hand to place the burden once more on his shoulders.

Except for these brief minutes there was not an hour in the day when his loss did not press upon him. To his tortured imagination he was like a man torn in two, one-half to be buried out of sight, the other to live on, suffering and enduring, till the jagged wound should heal. At every turn his thoughts went out to her—only to be met by the hopeless blank of her death. For months the thought of her had been the last in his mind at night, the first to greet him on waking. Now he sat up until worn out with work and loss of sleep. And if then sleep would not come, he counted sheep jumping over a wall, watched water falling from a high precipice down—down,—or reached out his hand for the opiate that stood always at hand. Anything was better than the hopelessness of memory.

Perhaps the hardest part was the utter loneliness of it all. He had turned to Helen with every pleasure or sorrow. Now he was called upon to face the greatest sorrow of his life alone—absolutely alone. He seemed to have lost the sense of human kinship.

Sometimes a sudden sight would touch his heart—two lovers walking together. He would follow them as long as he dared, noting every glance and gesture between them. It comforted him to feel that love was still in the world—although it had gone from his own life.

Except for this slight link he was cut off from his fellow-beings—adrift on a shoreless sea. He did not feel that others suffered as he was suffering, that many a gallant ship that passed with colors flying was freighted with a burden as heavy as his own. He clung with pathetic eagerness to a belief that others were happy and found life worth living. For, as time went on, he found the question of the worth of life forcing itself upon him with cruel insistence—not as a speculation, but out of the bitterness of life. It met him at every turn. It stood waiting at his bedside to greet him when he woke and it followed close at his side through the day. Why should he take up the burden of another day? No one depended on him—would mourn for him. His mother?—She was now independent of his help. She did not need him. No one needed him. One plunge and he would know whether death ends all, or whether in a new life one may meet or make new happiness.

Gladly would he have died. In hopeless, desperate fashion he prayed for death. But something—intangible—still held him from taking his own life. He did not perceive that there were depths of misery lower than any to which he had yet fallen. Had he foreseen the trackless country over which he was to wander, he would have laid down his life in despair at the outset. But the sight was mercifully withheld from him, and he pressed steadily on, unloved and unloving, but hugging close to his heart one delusive belief—love was still in the world. Not for him, but for others, life was still worth the living.

How or when this belief escaped him he never knew. He awoke one day to the awful conviction that even this had been taken from him—that nothing remained between him and absolute despair. He had been a fool. How could any love—even as pure as theirs—how could even this make life worth living? It was at best a frail, uncertain thing, liable to snap at any moment and leave life empty, desolate—like his own. No, life was a mistake. Derring could fancy it the gift of some arch-fiend who lay back, laughing in his sleeve, as from afar he watched men rushing here and there, pushing and scrambling, cheating, swearing, dying—for what? For a will-o'-the-wisp, a mirage, a child's fable.

Thus despair took hold on him. But the effect was not what one would have foreseen. It drove him towards his fellow-men. In his first grief he had been moody and reserved, speaking seldom and then only of the most matter-of-fact details of work. Now he sought companionship. He courted conversation. But his conversation was sharp and cynical in tone. No subject was too sacred or too tender for his wit. It was as if the fiend had taken him far above and had showed him that all is vanity and vexation of spirit—transient, fleeting, beginning nowhere and ending in nothing—too trifling to mourn over and surely not worth enthusiasm.

Every one in the office felt the change. Many a young fellow who came under the lash of his tongue wondered vaguely what had come over Derring. But no one guessed the cause. For although he seemed so open and bluff, he was more reserved than ever.

Thus two, three—six years passed. Then a change came over him. The bitterness passed from his heart and left only a great pity for mankind. It was a cruel thing to create a race capable of suffering and condemn it to a life of fruitless striving! The hopelessness and the misery haunted him—day and night. He became very gentle. Even towards sin and vice he showed a leniency that surprised his fellow-workers. His own grief had become to him a very small thing—hardly worth a heart-throb in comparison with the curse under which the human race struggled. He would gladly have died to bring a ray of light to men. He began to understand, dimly, that the sins of the world may be laid on one man. But with the understanding came a conviction of the hopelessness. Every true man must suffer, must stoop to take the burden on his shoulders—some to bear it even to a cruel death—but never must one dare hope that because he suffered another should be free.

For himself, as the years went by, he questioned no more. Life and its meaning had reduced itself to this—to help those that are in trouble—this much he had gathered from the wreck. He knew that it was only a fragment, a negative sort of comfort. But it was better than the blank apathy of indifference. It was something to live for.

But happiness—living, thrilling happiness—was for him a thing of the past. That it could ever come to him again he did not for a moment dream. Life was upon him. He must endure it as bravely, as helpfully as he might. But never might he hope for a joy that should make it perfect, or for a reason that should justify the suffering.

One Way of Love (Lee)/Chapter 18

day had been unusually warm in the office, but otherwise no different from other days.

When Derring came home at night he threw himself on the bed to rest before dressing for dinner. It had become a common thing for him to stop to rest now and then during the day—how common, even he himself did not realize. He was less introspective than formerly. He worked instead of speculating or dreaming. When he found himself too tired to work he rested for a little, as he was doing now.

It had taken him long to learn the art of resting. But he had at last gained the power to turn aside at any moment from the rush of life and yield himself, body and mind, to a quiet restfulness.

As he lay in the half-darkened room, his eyes closed, his breath coming and going lightly between parted lips, it was easy to see that the past ten years had not all been as peaceful as this. The thick hair, pushed carelessly back, was streaked with gray. The exuberant vitality of the face and frame had given place to a worn look of passive strength. Ten years should not so change a face were it not that ten years, as men count time, are sometimes a cycle.

Derring was not thinking of the past, however, nor of himself. He was resting, gaining strength for the next work that lay before him.

At last he rose and began to move about the room, making ready for dinner. Suddenly he stopped, bewildered, putting his hand to his head. What had happened? A change too subtle to be put in words had come over him while he rested. He looked at his face in the mirror, half expecting to see some sign. It was not there. But deep in his heart he felt it throbbing—thrilling. Life was, after all, worth living! Nay, more, it was a wonderful, beautiful thing. The feeling did not take words. It was too pervasive, too complete, for that. No mere thought could have carried such weight of conviction. It was too simple for a chain of reasoning. Yet it carried belief. He had reasoned carefully and logically to the opposite conclusion. How was it?—Life could not be worth living. Since there is no permanent happiness, existence has no reason for being rather than for not being, and no certainty of an outcome that shall justify suffering. He smiled at his careful logic, swept away by the force of pure conviction—Life was worth living!

It lay before him simple as daylight, and as clear. His mind ran ahead. He must find the work he could do well, and do it. Herein lay happiness. Then let him help others to find their place. He would have joy of heart and the purpose that makes life reasonable. It mattered little about the immortality of the soul. Three-score years and ten was immortality. The structure of the universe betrayed a master plan. To live in unison with this plan, to aid in its execution—if only for a few years—was enough.

He turned to the window and, drawing up the shade, looked across the broken lines of chimney-pots and roofs to the western sky. His heart leaped to meet it. Beauty had come back to the earth. He stood drinking it in with the eagerness of a traveller who sees home at last. He had not known how his artist nature had hungered for it through the years. The tears came into his eyes as he looked. A tangle of chimneys and gables against a twilight sky, but full of subtle beauty. Would it stay with him?—Where had it been? There in the outer world—but hidden from him because he was unworthy? Or in his own soul languishing with its sickness? Then in a moment it came to him—it was not in the world, nor in his soul. It was the soul itself coming to consciousness, recognizing itself, beholding its own features, as in a glass—existence reaching its highest form in the consciousness of the soul. He stood awed before it. It seemed to stretch away into space, wonderful, lofty, but close about him.

He went down to dinner with an eager interest. Everything had become transformed. Men and women were no longer machines wound up to run through a definite term of pain, and calling on his sympathy and help. They were divine—capable of the highest happiness. He felt like leaping, exulting, crying aloud in fulness of joy at the beauty of life and human kinship.

“Derring was more like himself to-night than he has been for years,” remarked an elderly man to his companion as Derring passed from the room where they sat smoking after dinner.

The speaker was a quiet, thoughtful man with observant gray eyes. He was the only one left of those who had been in the house ten years before. “He always used to be like that,” he went on, “full of life and a kind of magnetism. He drew you.”

Derring passed out of the house and down the street, walking with swift, eager feet. He felt cords of sympathy drawing him to those he met. He walked until late at night, seeking out the busiest streets and pressing in close among those who thronged them. He was intoxicated with humanity and the joy of life. He must come close to it. He was thrilling with a sense of exultation—all this living, surging crowd, capable of perfect development of the divinest joy!

When he returned to his room, he did not retire immediately. There were letters that must be written before he slept. He had thought, as he walked, of two or three young men whom a word from him might help to better positions. He must not miss his opportunity. Life was short. He longed to bring happiness to the world.

He fell asleep, planning for the coming day. It seemed strange to look forward to the morrow with anything except a sense of dull endurance.

When he wakened he could not, for a moment, account for the feeling that wakened with him. Like a child, half awake, he groped in memory to recall the gift that yesterday made him so happy. Then it came to him. It had not failed him. It was not a passing mood. He was awake, alive, in a world full of beauty and love.

One Way of Love (Lee)/Chapter 19

morning sun was streaming into Derring's private office. Two young men were waiting for him. They had come to consult him about a piece of work in the slums.

Derring himself kept out of slum work. He always answered, when pressed to give himself to it, that he had no call that way—and a man needed a very strong call or a great deal of cheek to thrust himself unasked into a man's home—even though the home happened to be a poor one. A man's castle might be only one corner of a room, but it was his castle still, fortified by all the laws of identity and individuality. For himself, Derring declared, he had not the courage to invade it. If a man had a genuine call to the work, let him do it and thank the Lord that called him.

For the dilettante philanthropists who posed amid the picturesque squalor of the slums he had only the keenest shaft of ridicule. It was his insight that made those who were taking up the work in earnest seek his advice. While he had not gone into it in person, he was cognizant of every step taken, and often, by his shrewd counsel, balanced the sentimentality of over-enthusiasm.

The young men were waiting to consult him as to the best way of dealing with a pair of philanthropic cranks who persisted in thrusting themselves into the work and who, by their obtuseness, were undoing the best results of the past year. While waiting for Derring and discussing the situation, they had drifted into talking of his fitness for the work and of the strange delicacy that kept him from it.

“He stands ready enough to help any of us fellows that come to him. But I suppose that's just it—these people don't get in his way and we do. Lucky for me, I did!”

A laugh rippled the undercurrent of the speaker's words. He was seated in an office-chair, his hat thrust back, a shock of reddish-brown hair rising straight above the broad white forehead. He looked as if he might be the driver of an express cart or of any vehicle that rumbled and rattled. In reality, he was an artist of much promise. His sketches had in them depth of sentiment that gave even greater promise than their technique. Three years ago no one had believed that he would ever be anything more than a dabbler in art. He had had plenty of money and was leading a free, devil-may-care life, sowing to the wind and complacently looking forward to the whirlwind. Now his success was spoken of as a thing assured. He had, as he put it, “got in Derring's way,” and, once there, he had found surrender easier than escape.

“I wonder,” he went on thoughtfully, “what it is about him that holds you so? He doesn't seem to do anything in particular. But somehow after you once know him you can't get along without him.”

His companion sat lost in thought. “I think it is because Derring needs us,” he said at last.

“Needs us?”

“Yes. I never knew a man that needed people as he does. He gives himself and never asks. But a love like that must carry with it a need. If Derring so much as lays his hand on my arm, I feel a power between us—a sort of spiritual magnetism that I can no more resist than I can resist my own heart. It somehow asks as well as gives.”

“Oh, well, Conway, you're a poet. You can't expect a mere artist like me to understand anything that can't be put into black and white. But he's good enough for me.”

“For your philanthropic cranks,” said Derring as they laid the case before him, “you must have an organization.”

They protested in one breath.

“I know. You think that as soon as a movement has taken on organization it has lost its vitality. That is a mistaken view of the case, my young friends. Organizations were invented to give employment to cranks. You must make offices and put them in. They will have so much to do running the offices that they will let “the poor” alone for awhile. When a movement is well under way it must have an organization as a life-preserver.”

“I suppose it must,” said the artist with a sigh. “Can you help us about the constitution if we come around to-morrow?”

“Come to my room at ten. I'll be free then.”

They rose to go. But the poet lingered a minute.

Derring looked jt him inquiringly.

“It's nothing,” he said, smiling, “I was only wondering if I might come a little early?”

“To-night?”

“There's something I want to ask you about—if I may.”

“Of course. Come” He paused. “I was going to take a walk beforehand,” he said. “Why couldn't you”

“Meet you?”

“At the breakwater—yes. At nine-thirty.”

The poet's face lighted. “I will be there. It's something I can't decide for myself”

“Then don't expect me to.”

“No. You will help me to see it. I am not sure of myself.”

G-osse, P. H. — Actinologia Britannica : a History of the British Sea Anemones and Corals.

The recent British Actinoida (==■ Zoantharia s. Heliantlwida) are here minutely described, and illustrated by numerous coloured figures. The author distinguishes seventy-five species, and adds definitions of the principal varieties of each. All the species receive English names. A tendency is shown to multiply un- duly the number of genera and families. A detailed account is given of the anatomy of the Actinia?, which contains some new facts, especially with regard to their stinging apparatus. The most valuable part of the work is that which treats systematically of the non-adherent forms. Under the name of ■ conchula' a curious organ is described, which appears to be a modification of the oral extremity of the single gonidial groove in some of these creatures.

A table is appended, showing the distribution of the species, so far, at least, as at present known, around the different parts of our coast.

Dr. Gray, following Brandt, regards Hyalonema as a Zoan- tharian, and not, as he first supposed, a genus allied to Gorgonia. He believes that the living Hyalonema finds its proper habitat in a peculiar kind of Sponge, within the substance of which one end of the coral is firmly embedded. He thinks also that the two species of Hyalonema, and one of Hyalocliceta, described by Brandt, may, possibly, be varieties of the same form.

had found Conway waiting for him at the breakwater. They paced up and down, watching the path of light across the water.

The poet broke the silence. “You don't know her.” The tone was defensive.

Derring smiled a little. “Tell me.”

The poet waited. He threw out his hand with a quick gesture. “She is everything! When I am with her, I can think—feel—be. I am fluid. She makes me free.”

When he paused the water, lapping at the breakwater, sounded softly. The moonlight lay about them.

Derring's face, in the light, held a rapt look. “That is love,” he said.

The other looked at him. “You mean it is really in me—that she—Lucille—gives nothing?” His hand made the quick gesture again. “You don't understand.”

“Tell me,” said Derring.

“She makes me see things—not what she says. She doesn't say poetical things”

“Or do them?” suggested Derring.

The poet gave a short laugh. “She has an athletic school for girls—a training-school. I think that's really what they object to,” he added,—“my friends.”

“Do they?”

“Everyone—unless it's you.”

“No—I don't object.”

The poet turned to him eagerly. “You have seen her?”

“The other night—at the play.”

“She is glorious!” His eyes questioned Derring's face.

“Perhaps. She reminded me of someone”

“I know—George Sand?”

“Yes.”

“She is like her.”

“Yes.”

There was a long silence between them. The breeze from the Lake had freshened. Little ripples scudded in the moonlight. Faint clouds drifted above them.

“I should not mind being Chopin,” said the poet. His eyes were on the Lake.

“No.”

“He had his life. His heart was freed.”

“Yes—and broke.”

“I know. I can't say it—yet. But somehow I feel it. He had all that life could give—even death—because of love.”

“And because he held it,” said Derring.

The other started. “You advise me”

Derring shook his head, smiling. “Don't put it on me. You know—better than I can. I only know that without love there is nothing. It is what life means—love—great or small. Out of the heart of it we came and to it we shall return. The heart must love if it would live. If a man turns from it, puts it away, is afraid of it—loses it” He stopped suddenly. A picture of the wood-road flashed before him and Seth Kinney's bent figure, short and stolid. That was what had happened to Seth. He had shut his heart. He ceased to live.

In a few words Derring sketched the story of Seth's life. “That's what I mean,” he said. “He let love go. His life shrivelled.”

The poet's eyes glowed. “I shall hold it,” he said quietly, “and if she fails me”

“You will still have love.”

“Yes.”

“You will love some one—something'

“Like Shelley?” The poet stole a smile at him, half-humorous.

“Like Shelley, if you will,” said Derring, “or like Dante. The true sip and the fickle drink at the same spring. All that is good in Shelley came from his fickleness. It is the soul that is dissolved—freed by love—that makes glad the world. When love goes, the soul grows hard, compact—useless—except to fight with.”

“Except to fight with?” said the poet. “I am no fighter.”

They had turned again and were walking to the north. Clouds obscured the moon. The dusk was faintly luminous. Far up the distant road a pair of crimson eyes glowed through it, from an approaching vehicle.

With one accord they turned to watch the Lake. A summer storm was gathering. Lightning played here and there, in open flashes, on the dark water. Deep mutters of thunder followed it challengingly. The wind had lulled. A silence held the air, fluttering with light. Upon it, in the distance, sounded the faint purr of the crimson-eyed vehicle. It resolved itself into the puffing approach of an automobile. For a moment the moon strove to reassert itself. A silver shimmer came in the darkness. The striking of the clock boomed through it. They counted the strokes.

“Ten o'clock,” said Derring. “They will be waiting for us.”

“Just a minute,” pleaded the poet.

The hush of darkness gathered itself. Through it sounded swift, whirring puffs of the automobile—louder and nearer—with hurrying, clanging bell.

Derring glanced over his shoulder. They were racing with the storm. Then he saw. The thing was past control—rushing upon them madly. It had left the roadway. It whirred swiftly. The face of the chauffeur glared, fixed and white. With a swift turn of his arm Derring seized the poet. He thrust him—straight across the path of the thing—out of danger. He lay, face down, his arms still outspread to save his friend.

The rain fell in torrents when they lifted him. It fell on his upturned face and relaxed hands. The face, beneath the rain, was strangely sweet, as if a hand of love had touched it.

These observations relate chiefly to the colour, spicules, and sarcode substance of what is believed to be a new species of fresh- water sponge. Little is said of the reproductive bodies.

" I think, (says M. Lemaire), that the Infusoria so abun- dantly diffused in nature, and which have been proved to occup in the seminal fluid of almost all known animals, and in the male organs of nearly every plant, constitute the primum movens of the pheno- mena of fermentation, of germination, and of fecundation, but that, for their action to manifest itself, contact (reunion) with albuminoid matters seems indispensable."

One Way of Love (Lee)/Chapter 20

night was warm, but a breeze came from the Lake, fitfully. It greeted Derring as he opened the door of his room after dinner.

Groping his way to the on his desk, he had a sense, as he went, of displacing, in the darkness, other forms and personalities. He often felt it in coming into a vacant room—always if the room was dark or half lighted—that sense of other forms giving way to his, retreating, gliding past, with noiseless being. Always for a minute they jostled him, as if unable to escape. Then, in a breath, his presence filled the room—to the furthest living corner. There was no one there.

He found the droplight and reached for a match. The breeze stirred again and blew against the hand that held the match to the droplight. He shaded it with his other hand, and the light flared up into his tired face. His eyes smiled absently. He was thinking of the poet and his troubles.

Derring had more than half guessed them. He had been revolving in his mind all day what he should say to him. The woman was a strange creature. Derring had studied her face the night before at the play. It was heavy, with deep lines, but there was something fine in the eyes. He recalled them now—wistful and magnetic.

He pushed back the papers on his desk with a little sigh. Why should they come to him with their troubles? He was strangely tired. But with it all, underneath, beat a sense of coming release. Groping for it, as he seated himself at the desk, he took up his pen and threw off the depression with an effort. He was only tired. He would go away next week for a rest. Meantime Reaching for a sheet of paper he began to write.

He wrote rapidly, referring now and then to the letters he had pushed aside, sealing each note as it was finished and laying it on the pile at hand. When the last one was done, he ran over the scattered letters before him, filing some for reference, tearing others across and throwing them into the waste-basket.

He looked at his watch—nine o'clock—half an hour yet. Rising he stretched himself and looked about the room. He moved to the window. It was a moonlight night and shadows hung luminous everywhere, irradiating bricks and tiles and trees. From a tower near by the clock sounded, spreading sonorously in the still air. The curtain swayed a little in the breeze and he looped it back. Returning to his desk and moving the droplight to the table he drew a big chair beside it. He searched among the books on the table and took up a volume of poems.

The poems were Conway's. He had seen most of them before—in manuscript. But he wanted to read them again. He had not decided what to say to his visitor. The room was very still. Something burred at the screen, tapping it with light touches—a June bug, perhaps. Derring paid no heed. He was absorbed in the page before him. The light fluttered a little and he looked up impatiently. He turned it down, glancing towards the open window. He took up the book again. But the poems had lost their hold. His eye was on the page, but about him, around him, something stirred. He raised his eyes slowly, looking towards the window. Against the screen, faint against the moonlight, he saw it—her face—smiling to him, the eyes shining mistily. He half rose, stretching out his hands to her. He sank back. The face was gone. But her voice, softly, was speaking to him through the distance: “You are coming—coming—coming”

With a quick exclamation he turned. The light at his side had gone out. The room lay in darkness. He stared before him. She was not there. No one was there. It was the common prosaic darkness of a June night.

branches into the interior of the spaces, and which by their anas- tomoses constitute a rather loose plexus, in the midst of which in some cases a central space is left. Among these capillaries and in connection with them, and with the connective tissue of the septa, is found an extremely close, but at the same time very delicate network composed, if not exclusively, yet for the most part of anastomosing cells ; and in the meshes of this plexus the well known forms of Lymph- corpuscles are lodged.

This fine network, was supposed by Eckhard to represent a system of serous canals communicating directly with the blood vessels. But Heidenhain, was unable to trace any communication of the kind by means of injection, and Prof. His, has fully satisfied himself, after numerous observations, that no such connexion really exists.

A minute account of the structure of the Thymus gland is given, and the results of the author's and of Friedleben's observa- tions respecting its functions are stated. Prof. His considers that lymph- corpuscles are continually formed by the division of the cell-like bodies contained in the capsules of the acini, and that these corpuscles gradually find their way into the central canal, and are conveyed by special canals into the lymphatics, and ultimately into the blood where they are converted into red corpuscles.

Capellent, De. and Pagenstechee. — Mikroskopische Untersuchun- gen uber den innern Ban einiger fossilen Schwamme. Z. W. Z. x. p. 364. (c. fig.) #

In the Meinoires de la Societe d'Emnlation du Departement du Doubs, 1859, Prof. Etallon describes among the numerous fossil sponges of the " Scyphia-kalk," near St. Claude, in the Departement du Jura, a peculiar family named by him the " Diktyonocoelidise." The species in question are said to be dis- tinguished from all other fossil and recent forms, by a quite pecu- liar internal structure. This structure is the more interesting that it bears a close resemblance to that of the Ventriculites of the chalk, as described by Mr. Toulmin Smith. The structure alluded to, consists in the existence in the substance of the fossil sponge of anastomosing tubes or canals, which may be straight and toler- ably regularly disposed, or tortuous and irregular. These canals are found partially or completely filled with calc-spar or oxide of iron. The authors, however, are disposed to believe, and show very good reasons for their belief, that these canals in the fossil were not really such in the living sponge, but rather that they re- present an original horny skeleton, and consequently that the Diktyonocoelidiae of Prof. Etallon do not differ intrinsically from the horny sponges. And they apply the same arguments in oppo- sition to Mr. Toulmin Smith's notion that the Ventriculites belong to a class of animals more highly organized than the sponges.

36 union marine engineers set up steam, and union seamen and firemen took it out of the dock on its voyage to its destination. Can men who are trained and taught to believe that such a course of conduct is right and proper be expected to realize the oneness of the interests of the working class as a whole against the capitalist class as a whole, and vote and act accordingly? In short, can their field of vision be so extensive that it can see the brotherhood of all men, and yet so restricted that it can see no harm in a brother labor organization in their own industry being beaten to death by capital?

Contrast this woeful picture of divided and disorganized “unionism” in America with the following account from the New York Sun of the manner in which the Socialist unionists of Scandinavia stand together in a fight against the common enemy, irrespective of “craft interests” or “craft contracts”:

“A short sojourn in Scandinavia, particularly in Copenhagen and the southern part of Sweden, gives one an object lesson in socialism. In some way or other the socialists have managed to capture all the trade unions in these parts and between than have caused a reign of terror for everybody who is unfortunate enough to own a business of any sort. Heaven help him if he fires one of his help or tries to assert himself in any way. He is immediately declared in ‘blockade.’“This socialist term means practically the same as a boycott. If the offending business man happens to be a retail merchant all workmen are warned off his premises. The drivers for the wholesale houses refuse to deliver goods at his store; the truckmen refuse to cart anything to or from his place, and so on; in fact, he is a doomed man unless he comes to terms with the union. It is worth mentioning that boycotting bulletins and also the names and addresses of those who are bold enough to help the man out are published in leaded type in all
