After eight years of married life,
Mark Sabre discovers that he had
cut himself off from human sym
pathy and appreciation. His pro
saic and snobbish wife, Mabel, fails
to understand his poetic tempera
ment. At the firm of Fortune, East
and Sabre, school and churx-'i out
fitters, Sabre is undermined by
jealousy and a partnership, once
promised to him, is promised to an
associate. Twyning. Suddenly one
who understan k; him returns to his
life. This is Nona, an old sweet
heart, now th • wif -of the dashing
Lord Tybar. Sabre learns that she
is unhappy wdh Tybar and Nona
tells him that she rhose wrong: “I
ought to have married you, Marko.”
The breach’between Mabel and Sa
bre widens. Then Sabre learns
that Twyning his become a part
ner.
Go On With the Story.

Sabre remained standing at his
desk. He had a tiny ball of paper in .
his hand and he rolled-,it round be-j
tween his finger and thumb, round I
and round and round and round,
... In his mind was a recollection:
“You have struck your tents and •
are upon the march.”
He thought, "This has been com-1
ing a long time . . . It’s my way of
looking at things has done this. I’m ;
getting so I’ve /nowhere jto turn.
It’s no good pretending I don't feel,
this. 1 feel it most frightfully . . .
It was rottenly done. Behind my
back. Plotted against me, or they
wouldn’t have sprung it on me like
that. This frightful feeling of being
alone in the placi. More empty at
home . . Anu now there’s this.
. . . ‘You have struck your tent,
and are upon the march’ . . . Yes.
Yes ...”
He suddenly recollected Nona’s
letter. He took it from his pocket
ami opened it; and the second event
was discharged upon him.
She wrote from their town house.
“Marko take me away—Nona.”
His emotions leapt to her with most
terrible violence. He felt his heart
leap against his breast, as though
engine of his tumult, it would burst
its bonds and go to her. He struck
his hand upon the desk. He said
aloud. "Yes! Yes!” He remembered
his words, "If you ever feel you can’t
bear it, tell me.—Tell me.”
He began to write plans to her. He
would come to London tomorrow
. . . She should come to the station
if she could; if not. he would be at
the Great Western Hotel. She could
telephone him there and they could
arrange to meet and discuss what
they should do . . . He would like

to go away with her directly they |

see to. He wrote, "But I can only '

His pen stopped. Familiar words! •

a sword across the pas .age of his
thoughts. "But 1 can only lead you
downwards. I cannot had you up

As with sword—
He sat oaek in his cnatr and ga?.ed '
upon this armed intrude - to give it |
battle. |
IIL . , !
The morning passed and the after
noon wni’j still he at, no more mov
ing than to sin-c lower in his -ea: is
the battle joined and as he most
dreadfully suffered in its most dread
ful onsets. Towards live o’clock he
put out his hand without movingI
his position and drew towards him
the letter he had begun. The action
was as that of one utterly undone.
(He very slowly tore it across, and
! then across again, and so into tiniest
■ fragments till his fingers could no I
: more fasten upon them. He dropped
his arm away and opened his hand,
■and the white pieces fluttered in a
I little cloud to the floor.
Presently he drew him elf up to
the table and began to write, writing
; very slowly because his hand trem
-1 bled so. In half an hour he blotted
the few lines on the last sheet:
| ... So, simply what 1 want to
I do is to let our step—if we take it—
:be mine, not yours. We shall fo’
; get absolutely that you ever wrote.
I It’s as though it had never been
written. On Tuesday I will write
ami ask you, “Shall I come up to
you?” So if you say ’Yes,’ the action
I will have been entirely mine. It
I will start there. This hasn’t hap
j pened. And during these days in
i between, just think like anything
I over what I’ve said. Honor can’t
have any degree, Nona, any more
j than truth can have any degree;
I whatever else the world can quibble
to bits it can’t partition those; trth
is just truth and honor is just honor.
And a marriage vow is a pledge of
honor, and if one breaks it one
break’s one < honor, never mind what
the excuse is. Then- s no conveiv
able way of arguing out of that.
That’s what I shall ask you to do on
| Tuesday, and Km just warning you
Iso you shall have time to think be
i forehand.
; He took his pen, and steadied his
hand and wrote:
"And your reply, when I ask you,
I whichever it is, shall bring me light
: into darkness, unutterable dark
j ness.—M.’
He could hear the homeward
movements about the office. It was
time to go. He wheeled his bicycle
to the letter box at the corner of The
Precincts. As he dropped in his let
ter, the evening edition came bawling
around the corner.

He shook his head at the paper
the boy held out to him and rode
away. What had that kind of thing
to do with him?

Unutterable darkness! He lived
within it during the days that fol
lowed while he awaited the day ap
pointed to write to Nona again.
Whatever she said when she asked,
whichever way she answered him, he
would be brougnt relief trom his in
tolerable stress. If she maintained
honor above love, his weakness, he
I knew, would be welded into strength,
as the presence of another brings
enormous support to timidity; if she
declared for love— his mind surged
within him at the imagination of
bursting away once forever the
! squeamish principles which for years,
hedging about his conuuct on this
! ide an on that, had profited nothing
; those on whose behalf they had been
| erected and his own life had deso
i lated into barrenness.
He was little disposed to divert at
j tention to the international dis
' turbances which now were rumbling
! across the newspapers in portentiou
' and enormous headlines. Ireland
! was pressed away. It was all Europe
j now—thrones, chancelleries, coun
cils, armies.
The cauldron whose seething and
bubbling had entertained some, fid
geted some, some nothing at all con
cerned, suddenly boiled over, and
poured in boiling fat upon the
flames, and poured in flames upon
the hearth of every man s concerns.
On Friday the Stock Exchange
closed. On Saturday Germany de
li.arid war on Russia. In Sunday’s
I papers Sabre read of the panic run

hearth of every man’s concerns . . .
All hb concerns, the crisis with
Nona, with his honor and his love,
that awaited determination, were
disputed their place in his mind by
the incredible and enormous events
that each new hour discharged upon
the world.

The news of Tuesday morning
caused him at six’ o’clock in the
evening to have been standing two
hours in the great throng that filled
JJarket Square gazing towards the
" offices of the County Times. Our
mobilization, our resplve to stand by
France if the German fleet came
into the Chanel; lastly, most awful
ly pregnant of all. our obligations t<
Belgium—that had been the morn
ing s news. That afternoon tne prime
minister was to make a statement.
A great murmur swelled up from
the waiting crowd, a great move
ment pressed it forwaid toward the
County Times offices. On the first
floor balcony men apepared dragging
a great bogrd faced with paper, oi.
the paper enormous lettering. Th<
board was pulled out endways. The
man last through the window took :
:.tep forward and swung the letter
into view.
PREMIER’S STATEMENT
ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY
EXPIRES TONIGHT
Sabre said aloud, "My God! War!’
As a retreating wave harshly with
drawing upon the reluctant pebble:
there sounded from the crowd a<
enormous intaking of breath. Ai
instant’s stupendous silence, the
■cave noised for return. Down! A
shattering roar, tremendous, word
less. The figure of Pike, the editor
ar.neared upon the balcony, in hi
shirt sleeves, his long hair wild about
his face, in his hand that which
caught the roar as it were by the
throat, stopped it and broke it out
anew on a burst of exultant clamor.
A Union Jack. He shook ii madly
with both hands above his head. The
roar broke into a tremendous chant.
“God Save the King!”
