SYNOPSIS
D aniel O’Neill, & powerful. *eif-
made man, forcts his only daugh
ter, Mary, Into a loveless mar
riage with the Impecunious and prof
ligate Lord Raa, so that his ambi
tion to have his descendants the right
ful heirs of the one earldom In KUan
may be realized. Mary, a convent-
raised young woman, shocked to find
her husband a man of sordid, sensual
passions, refuses utterly to have any
thing to do with him until such time
as he can prove himself worthy of
her love. During the honeymoon
abroad Alma Lier, a divorcee, who had
been expelled from the convent Mary
attended In Rome, attaches herself to
the party and makes the "honeymoon
trip” a long series of slights and In
sults for Lady Raa.
At last Lady Raa becomes certain
of the infidelity of her husband and
of his misconduct with Alma Ller. On
her return to London Mary encounters
her old play-fellow, Martin Conrad,
who has returned from his triumph
ant expedition to the Antarctic.
Drawn Into ever closer relations with
the only man for whose friendship she
had ever cared, Mary finally awakes
to the fact that she Is hopelessly In
love with Martin. Terrified by this
knowledge, and finding herself more
and more In love with Martin, she
determines to run away from the
cause of her distress, and go home.
Mary’s home-coming to Castle Raa
Is a sad affair. Her husband fills the
tumble-down old mansion with his
fast friends from London, Including
Alma Ller, who assumes control of
the household. Ultimately the illness
of her father offers Mary excuse for
escape from the Intolerable environ
ment. But before visiting her old
home Mary appeals In turn to her
Bishop and to her father’s lawyer,
only to be told that neither church
nor state can offer any relief from her
false position. She returns next day
to Castle Raa to find that Martin Is
arriving for a farewell visit, and that
by Alma Ller's deceitful scheming
the whole house party has gone off for
a few days’ cruise
During her three days alone with
her lover Mary fights a grim battle
with temptation, only to find on the
lost night that her faith In renun
ciation and the laws of the church
is a fragile thing compared with
her overwhelming love for this
pure-hearted man. With Martin’s
passionate words, "You are my real
wife. 1 am your real husband," ring
ing In her brain she forgets every
thing else, and with strong steps
walks across the corridor to Martin's
bedroom. This is the action which
Martin has advised as being the only
course open to them which Is sure to
bring the one result they have decided
to attain -Mary’s divorce from Lord
Raa.
Mary decides, after the departure
of Martin Conrad, to hide herself in
London. She Is driven by fear of
Lord Rua’s discovery of her unfaith
fulness to him; she Is equally afraid
of the venomous tongue of Alma
Ller. She Is no sooner settled In a
cheap, little boarding house In Ix>n-
don than a great hue and cry Is raised
by her father. Of all persons, It Is
Mildred, that one truest friend of her
convent days, who ferrets her out; but
for Mary’s sake she breaks a vow and
refuses to give her up. Then comes
the report of the loss of Martin’s ship
^n the Antarctic. The report Is false,
but Mary, who flees from Mildred to
a still more obscure part of I^ondon,
Is plunged Into the depth of black
despair from which she Is saved only
by the birth of her child. Mother
hood Is poignant with Joy and sorrow,
but poverty compels Mary to deny
herself of even Its privileges; she de
cides to leave her child with a poor
family In Ilford while she searches for
| employment.
Memorandum by Martin
Conrad.
M Y great-hearted, heroic
little woman!
All this time I. in my
vain belief that our expedition
was of some consequence to the
world, was trying to comfort
myself with the thought that my
darling must have heard of my
safety.
But how could I imagine that
she had hidden herself away in a
mass of humanity—which ap
pears to be the most impenetra
ble depths into which a human
being can disappear!
How could I dream that; to the ex
clusion of all such Interests ns mine,
she was occupied day and night,
night and day, with the Joys and
lorrows, the raptures and fears of
the mighty passion of Motherhood,
which seems to be the only thing in
life that is really great and eternal?
Above all, liow could I believe that
tn London Itself, In the heart of the
civilized and religious world, she was
going through trials which nmke
mine. In the grim darkness of the
polar night, seem trivial and easy?
It la all over now, ami though,
thank God, I did not know at the
time what was happening to my dear
one at home, It is some comfort to
me to remember that I was acting
exactly as If I did.
From the day we turned back I
heard my darling’s voice no more.
But I had a still more oerplexlng and
tormenting experience', and that was
a dream about her. In which she was
walking on a crevassed glacier toward

a precipice which nhe could not see
because the brilliant rays of the au
rora were In her eyes.
Anybody may make what he likes of
that on grounds of natural law, and
certainly It was not surprising that
my dreams should speak to me in
pictures drawn fro m the perils of my
dally life, but only one thing matters
now—that these experiences of my
sleeping hours Increased my eager
ness to get back to my dear one.
My comrades were no impediment
to that, I can tell you. With their
faces turned homeward, and the wind
at their backs, they were showing
tremendous staying power, although
we had thirty and forty pretty con
stantly, with rough going all the time,
for the snow had been ruckled up by
the blizzard to almost impassable
heaps and hummocks.
A Message.
On reaching our second installation
at Mount Darwin I sent a message to
the man at the foot of Mount Erebus,
telling them to get Into communica
tion (through Macquarie Island) with
the captain of our ship In New Zea
land, asking him to return for us as
soon as the Ice conditions would per
mit, and this was the last of our Jobs
(except packing our instruments tight
and warm) before we started down
the ‘‘long white gateway” for our
quarters at the Cape.
With all the heart tn the world,
though, our going had to be slow. It
was the middle of the antarctic win
ter, when absolute night reigned for
weeks, and we had nothing to alle
viate the darkness but the light of the
scalding moon, and sometimes the
glory of the aurora as It encircled
the region of the unrlsen sun.
Nevertheless my comrades sang
their way home through the Bullen
gloom. Sometimes I wakened the
echoes of those desolate old hills my
self with a stave of "Sally’s the Gel,"
although I was suffering thoughts of
what the damnable hypocrisies of life
might be doing with my darling, and
my desire to take my share of her
trouble whatever it might be.
The sun returned to us the third week
in July. Nobody can know what re
lief that brought us except those who
have lived for months without It. To
s**e the divine and wonderful thing
rise up like a god over those lone
white regions is to know what a puny
thing man Is In the scheme of the
world.
I think all of us felt like that at
sight of the sun, though some (myself
among the rest) were thinking more
of It ;ts a kind of message from
friends at home. But old Treacle, I
remember, who had stood looking at
it in awed solemnity, said:
"Well, I’m d !”

THEN President Chauncey De-
' vere Appleton ascended the
platform to preside at the
149th convening of the Children’s Con
gress, called in session extraordinary,
he did not take a seat in the presi
dent’s chair, as was his custom, but
remained standing in rather a con
strained, unnatural attitude.
The secretary read the report of
the previous meeting; the treasurer
reported three pennies, a marble and
a gumdrop in the treasury; Tommy
Nuckles, aged 3, sang. "Oh, I’m a
Pirate Brave,” breaking down on the
second verse in stage fright; Leoni
das Smith, when called for an open
ing prayer, could think of nothing but
"Now I lay me,” and repeated that;
and through it all the president re
mained standing.
The sniffling of three sleepy chil
dren; the whispered scoldings given
them by older sisters; the wails of
one little girl who dropped her doll
and broke it, and the restless move
ment of 40 pairs of feet were all that
disturbed the solemn hush when
President Appleton wiped his brow
and waved his hand in token that he
was ready to speak.
“The thought I will give you to
take home to-day,” he began, the
weight of a sad experience giving
gravity to his voice, "is that none of
you must take your mothers literally
"I am 7, and while I believe that I
have reached an age of dignity and
wisdom, my mother does not always
agree with me."
A groan swept the house that
caused the sleeping delegates to
awaken and cry to go home.
“Overcome with pain recently,” he
resumed, “at the slap I received from
my sister when I used her oil paints
in decorating my dog, I broke Into
tears.
” ‘Don’t cry,’ said my mother. ‘Be
a man!’
"‘Be a man!’ It sounded good to
me, and I resolved to be one.
"That evening I watched my father
closely, and the next day I tried to ‘be
a man.’ I grumbled about my break
fast, I picked up the morning paper
and scattered it all over the house; I
collected father’s cigar stumps and
left one on the piano, two In the fern
dish, three on the dresser, and four,
with ashes and matches, on the din
ing room tablecloth. I threw one of
my slippers under the bed anil hung
the other on the bathroom door
knob; I hung ties on everything, from
the pictures in the parlor to the hall
chandelier; I threw the contents of
the top chiffonier drawer on the floor,
and was swearing about my collar
button, when my mother heard me.
"’I am trying to "be a man!’” I
cried when she grabbed me. ‘You told
me to be a man!’ I wailed when she
began to punish me.
“Brother and sister delegates, my
appeal was in vain!” i
Then he turned and walked stiffly
and painfully from the platform. Ho
hadn’t sat down during the entire ses
sion.
Every week for months and months I carried a large black bag of ready-made garments back and forth to the large shops in the West End.
Oh, how I dreaded those trips, haunted as they were by the terror of accidentally meeting Sister Mildred. Again and again I was ready to give
up, but always that one thought came, and I whispered to myself: “For baby’s sake.” I did not dare even to ask my employer to give me
something else to do, for I could not forget his words as he had said with a significant smile: “You vill be gradeful and convenience your em
ployer, mine child.” Still, in spite of my fears, I never saw a familiar face among the multitudes that passed through the streets like waves under
the moon at sea. But what sights I saw for all that! What piercing, piteous proofs that between the rich and poor there-is a great gulf fixed!

In order, but received one piece of
alarming Intelligence—that the at
tempt to get Into wireless communi
cation with our ship had failed, with
the result that we should .have to wait
for her until the time originally ap
pointed for her return.
That did not seem to matter much
to my shipmates, who. being ‘•nugly
housed from blinding blizzards, set
tled down to amuse themselves with
sing-songs and story tellings and
readings.
But, do what I could, to me the de
lay was dreadful, and every day, in
the fever of my anxiety to get away
as soon as the ice permitted, I climb
ed the slopes of old Erebus with
O’Sullivan to look through powerful
glasses for what the good chap called
the ‘‘open weather.”
Thank God, our w'ooden hou**e was
large enough to admit of my having
a cabin to myself, for I should have
been ashamed of my comrades hear
ing the cries that sometimes burst
from me lh the night.
It la hard for civilized men at home,
accustomed to hold themselves under
control, to realize how a man’s mind
can run away from him when he is
thousands of mile.s separated from his
dear ones and has a kind of spiritual
certainty that evil is befalling them.
I don’t think I am a bigger fool
than most men in that way, but 1
shiver even yet at the memory of all
(he torment I went through during
those days of waiting, for my whole
life seemed to revolve before me. and
I accused myself of a thousand of
fenses which I had thought dead and
buried and forgotten.
Some of these were trivial in them
selves, such as hot and intemperate
words spoken in childhood to my
good old people at home, disobedience
or ingratitude shown to them, with
all the usual actions of a naughty
bov, who ought to have been spanked
and never was.
But the worst of them concerned my
darling, and came with the thought
of my responsibility for the situation
in which I felt sure she found her
self
A thousand times I took myself to
task for that, thinking what I ought
and ought not to have done, and then
giving myself every bad name and my
conduct every damning epithet.
Up and down my cabin I would
walk with hands buried in my pock
ets. revolving these thoughts and
working myself up, against my will,
to a fever of regret and self-accusa
tion.
Talk about purgatory—the purga
tory of our dear old Father Dan!
That wag to come after death mine
came before, and. by the holy saints,
I had enough of It.
Three months passed like this, and
when the water of the sound was open
and our ship did not appear, mine
was not the only heart that was eat
ing itself out, for the spirits of my
shipmates had also begun to sink.
In the early part of the Antarctic
spring there had been a fearful hur-
icane, lasting three days on the sea,
with a shrieking, roaring chorus of
fiends outside, and the conviction now
forced itself on my men that our
ship must have gone down in the
storm.
Short Rations.
Of course, I fought this notion hal'd,
for my last hopes were based on not
believing It. But when, after the
lapse of weeks, I could hold out no
longer, and we were confronted by
the possibility of being held there an
other year (for how were our friends
to know' before the ice formed again
that It was necessary' to send relief?)
I faced the situation firmly—measur
ing out our food and putting the men
on shortened rations, 28 ounces each
and a thimbleful of brandy.
Bv the Lord God, it is a fearful
thing to stand face to face with slow
death. Some of my shipmates could
scarcely bear it. The utter wlitude,
the sight of the same faces, and the
sound of the same voices, with the
prospect of nothing else, seemed to
drive most of them nearly mad.
There was no sing-songing among
them now, and what speaking I over
heard whs generally about the great
dinners they had eaten, or abr^it their
droamu, which were usually of green
fields and flower beds, and primroses
and daisies—daisies, by heaven, in a
world that was like a waste!
As for me, I did my best to play the
game of never giving up. It was a
middling hard game. God knows, and
after weeks of waiting a senj*e of
helplessness settled down on me such
as I had never known before.
I am not what is called a religious
men, but when I thought of my darl
ing’s danger (for such I was sure it
was) and how I was cut off from her
by thousands of miles of impassable
sea there came an overwhelming
longing to go with my troubles to
somebody ftronger than myself.
I found It hard to do that at first,
for a feeling of shame came over me,
and I thought:
"You coward, you forgot all about
God when things w r ere going well with
you, but now that they are tumbling
down, and death seems certain, you
whine and want to go where you nev
er dreamed of going In your days of
ea?e and strength.”
I got over that, though there’s noth
ing except death a man doesn’t get
over down there—and a dark night
came when (the ice breaking from
the cliffs of the Cape with a sound
that made me think of my last even
ing at Castle Raa) I found myself
folding my hands and praying to the
God of my childhood, not for myeelf,
but for my dear one. that He before
Whom the strongest of humanity wer
nothing at all, would take her into
His fatherly keeping
"Help her! Help her! I can do no
more."
A Glad Sight.
It was Just when I was down to
that extremity that it pleased Provi
dence to come to my relief. The very
next morning; I was awakened out of
my broken sleep by the sound of a
g\in, followed by such a yell from
Treacle as was enough to make you
think the sea-serpent had got hold ol
his old buttocks.
“The ship! The ship! Commander!
Commander! The ship! The ship!”
And, looking out of my little win
dow, I saw him. with six or seven
other members of our company, half
naked, Just as they had leaped out of
their berths, running like savage men
to the edge of the sea, where the Sco
tia. with all flags flying (God bless
and preserve her!), was steaming
slowly up through a grinding pack of
broken ice.
What a day that was! What shout
ing! What hand-shaking! For O'Sulli
van It was Donnybrook Fair with the
tall of his coat left out, and for Tre
acle it was Whitechapel road with
"What cheer, old cock?" and an un
quenchable desire to stand treat all
around.
But what I chiefly remembered is
that the pioment I awoke, and before
the Idea that we were saved and about
to go home had been fully grasped by
my hazy brain, the thought fleshed to
my mind;
“Now you’ll hear of her! M. C.
The Unforgettable.
rpHE door of No. 10 was opened
by a rather comely .woman of
perhaps 30 years of age, with
a weak face and watery eyes.
This was Mrs. Oliver, and it oc
curred to me even at that first sight
that she had the frightened and eva
sive look of a wife who lives under
the intimidation of a tyrannical hus
band.
She welcomed me. however, with a
warmth that partly dispelled my de
pression, and I followed her into the
kitchen.
It was the only room on the ground
floor of the house (except a scullery),
and it seemed sweet and clean and
comfortable, having a table in the
middle of the floor, a sofa under the
window, a rocking chair on one side
of the fireplace, a swinging baby’s
cot on the other side, and nothing
about it that was not homelike and
reassuring, except two large photo
graphs over the mantelpiece of men
stripped to the waist and sparring.
“We’ve been looking for you all
day. ma'am, and had nearly given you
up," she said.
Then she took baby out of my
arms, removed her bonnet and
pelisse, lifted her barrow coat to ex
amine her limbs, asked her age.
kissed her on the arms, the neck,
and the legs, and praised her with
out measure.
"And what’s her name, ma’am?”
"Mary Isabel, but I wish her to be
called Isabel."
"Isabel; a beautiful name, too! Fit
for a angel, ma'am. And she is a lit
tle angel, bless her! Such rosy cheeks!
Such a ducky little mouth—such blue
eyes—blue as the bluebells in the
cemet’ry. She's as pretty as a wax-
work. she really is. and any woman
in the world might be proud to nurse
her."
A young mother is such a weakling
that praise of her child (however
crude) acts like a charm on her. and
in spite of myself I was beginning to
feel more at ease., when Mrs. Oliver’s
husband came downstairs.
He was a short, thick-set man of
about 35, with a square chin,
a very thick neck, and a close-
cropped, red, bullet head, and he was
in his stocking feet and shirt sleeves,
as if he had been dressing to go out
for the evening.
I remember that it flashed upon
me—I don't know why—that he had
seen me from the window of the
room upstairs, driving up in the old
man’s four-wheeler, and had drawn
from that innocent circumstance cer
tain unfavorable deductions about
my character and my capacity to pay.
I must have been right, for as sfton
as our introduction was over, and I
had interrupted Mrs. Oliver’s praises
of my baby’s beauty by speaking
about material matters, saying the
terms were to be four shillings, the
man, who had seated himself on the
sofa to put on his boots, said in a
voice that was like a shot out of a
blunderbus:
“Five.”
“How'd you mean, Ted?” said Mrs.
Oliver, timidly. “Didn’t we say four?”
"Five,” said the man again, with a
still louder volume of voice.
I could see that the poor woman
was trembling, but assuming the
sweet air of persons who liv e in con
stant state of fear, she said, “Oh, yes.
It w r as five; now I remember.”
I reminded her that her letter had
?*aid four, but she insisted that I must
be mistaken, and when I told her 1
had the letter with me. and she could
see it if she wished, she said, "Then it
must have been a slip of the pen in a
manner of speaking, ma’am. We alius
talked of five. Didn’t we. Ted?”
“Certainly,” said her husband, who
was still busy with his boot?.
I saw what was going on, and I felt
hot and angry, but there seemed to be
nothing to do except submit.
“Very well, we’ll say five then,” I
said.
"Paid in advance,” said the man.
and when I answered that that would
suit me very well, he added:
The Last Coin.
“A month in advance, you know.”
By this time I felt myself trembling
with fear, for w'hile I looked upon all
the money I possessed as belonging
to baby, to part with almost the whole
with indignaton, as well as quivering
of it In one moment would reduce mt
to utter helplessness, so I said, turn
ing to Mrs. Oliver, “Is that usual?”
It did not escape me that the un
happy woman was constantly study
ing her husband’s face, and when he
glanced up at her with a meaning
look she answered, hurriedly, "Oh,
yes, ma’am, quite usual. All the worn,
eu in the Row has it. Number five,
has twins and gets a month iri
hand with both of them. But we’ll
take four weeks, and I can’t say no
fairer than that, can I?”
"Bu 1 . why?” I asked.
“Well, you see, ma'am, you’re—
you’re a stranger to us, and if baby
was left on our hands—not as we
think you’d leave her chargeable a?
the saying is. but if you were ever ill
and got a bit back with your pay
ments—we being only pore people—*
While the poor woman was floun
dering on in this way my blood was
boiling, and I was beginning to ask
her If she supposed for one moment
that I meant to desert my child, when
the man, who had finished the lacing
of Ills boots, rose to his feet, and ss.id.
“You don’t want yer baby to be giv
over to the Guardians for the sake oi
a week or two, do you?”
That settled everything. I took out
my purse and with a trembling hand
laid my last precious sovereign on the
table.
A moment or two after this Mr.
Oliver, who had put on his coat and
cloth cap. made for the door.
“Evenin’, ma’am," he said, and with
what grace I could muster I bade
him good-bye.
"You aren’t a-going to the ‘Sun*
to-night, are you, Ted?” asked Mrs.
Oliver.
"Club.” uaid the man, and the door
clashed behind him.
I breathed more freely when he was
gone, and his wife (from whose face
the look of fear vanished instantly)
was like another woman.
"Goodness gracious!” she cried,
with a kind of haggard hilarity,
"where’s my head? Me never offer
ing you a cup of tea. and you looking
so white after your journey.”
I took baby back into my arms
while she put on the kettle, uet a
black teapot on the hob to warm,
laid a napkin and a thick cup and
saucer on the end of the table, and
then J:«at on the fender to toast a little
bread, talking meantime (half apol
ogetically and half proudly) about her
husband.
He was a bricklayer by trade, and
sometimes worked at the cemetery
which I could see at the other side
of the road (behind the long railings
and the tall trees), but was more gen
erally engaged as a sort of fighting
lieutenant to a labor leader whose
business it was to get up strikes. Be
fore they were married he had been
the “Lightweight Champion of White
chapel," and those were photos of his
fights which I could see over the
mantelpiece, but “he never did no
knocking of people about now,” being
"quiet and matrimonucl.”
In spite of myself, my heart warmed
to the woman. I wonder It did not
occur to me there and then that, liv
ing in constant dread of her tyran
nical husband, she would always be
guilty of the dissimulation I had seen
an example of already, and that the
effect of it would be reflected upon my
child.
It did not. I only told myself that
she w T as clearly fond of children and
would be a kind nurse to my baby.
It even pleased me, in my foolish,
motherly selfishness, that she was a
plain-featured person, whom baby
could never come to love as she
would, I was sure, love me.
Time to Go.
I felt better after I had taken tea,
and as it was then 7 o’clock and the
sun was setting horizontally through
the cypresses of the cemetery, I knew
it was time to go.
I could not do that, though, with
out undressing baby and singing her
to sleep. And even then I sat for a
while with an aching heart, and Isa
bel on my knee, thinking of how 1
should have to go to bed that night,
for the first time, without her.
Mrs. Oliver, in the meantime ex
amining the surplus linen which 1
had brought in my parcel, was burst
ing into whispered cries of delight
over it, and, being told I had made
the clothes myself, was saying, "What
a wonderful seamstress you might be
if you liked, ma’am!”
At length the time came to leave
baby, and no woman knows the pain
of that experience who has not gone
through It.

COMES OUT A RIBBON—LIES FLAT ON THE BRUSH
Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A HARD TASK.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty years old, while
my girl is seventeen. Her father
favors me, but her mother objects
to me. for which she gives no rea
son at all and is trying to per
suade her daughter to give me up.
I have an A No. 1 character, no
bad habits except smoking, and
earn a good salary with an ex
cellent chance of advancement.
Whenever I call on this girl her
mother treats me like one of'the
family, but when I am gone she
talks about me. How can I make
myself liked by her, as I want to
marry this girl in two or three
years. We love each other.
GEORGE.
No mother likes to lose a good
daughter, and often she objects with
out any reason more definite than
this.
You must persevere; conduct your
self in a manner with which she can
find no fault, and respect all her
wishes and foibles. You have won
the daughter; now' you must court the
mother, and good luck to you!
FOOLISH IF YOU DON’T.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a younp' man four years my
senior for the past fifteen months.
He is fickle-minded, and when
making an appointment with me
always seems to find an excuse
every once in a while for not
coming, and then I am left in the
lurch.
Do you think it would be prop
er for me to go out with others?
He says he cares for mo very
much. HEARTBROKEN.
You are encouraging him in h i
neglect by letting him continue it.
Go with others, and may you
and w r in the love of some man who
will treat you better.

Colorado
Is Bigger than Imagination
The brush of fancy can’t paint upon the canvas of
the mind as wonderfully as nature’s titanic hands have
built here in the birth-spot of the mighty Rockies.
But Colorado is a condition as well as a picture.
You’ll not only see a country different from any
under the stars, but you’ll be a different human the
moment you stand in the shadows of her majestic
ranges and bathe your worn and sluggish city-dulled
being in the vital, sparkling, clean, clear, sweet air
of the great American Highlands.
