CHAPTER XIII—Continued
— 20 —
He had an odd reeling of not know¬
ing what was going to happen as he
left Eunerdale and enrered his home.
He could feel himself under a strain
roused by the nearness of explanations
which tf was Claire's right to hear and
his duty fo make, it would he hard
to talk about Carla, as he must, even
should Claire Id her wisdom ask for
nothing.
Claire was waiting for him in her
room. This act of thoughtfulness
pleased him. She knew that in a
peculiarly embarrassing moment they
should he alone. Both were sensi¬
tive. each a little fearful of what one
or the other might betray in their
first greeting. He was thinking this
when he went to her. As her door
closed behind him. his first Impression
was of a room filled with flowers.
Claire, like Carla, loved them. The
air was delicately fragrant with their
perfume. Claire was bending over a
mass of white roses when he entered,
and then came toward him with both
hands held out Site did not put her
nrms about film or oiler him her lips,
yet never had he seen such a light of
happiness shining In tier eyes, lie
made a movement to aiss her, but she
drew bat'k in such a way that her
act seemed scarcely to be repelling
him.
“Not new, Paul. Not until we have
talked. Then, if you want to kiss me,
you may."
She way astonishingly free ol the
tension which he had anticipated, and
as she stood with her “tigers clasped
warmly about his, telling him how
glad she was that ne was alive, and
how doomed to despair and unhappi¬
ness she would have been if he had
not lived to return to her, he won
dered If it were Claire, his wife, who
was talking to him, or anotlier Claire
—some one he had never known. For
she seemed, all at once, to have drawn
herself farther away from him than
she had ever been, but Id such a
sw >et and friendly way that the
change in her seemed one which could
not bring hurt with tu
It was Ciuire’s fight that was hard
est It was goit 7 to take a Joan of
Arc courage to say what she had
planned to say.
She made him sit near her, so they
were facing each other.
“Paul, we are going to be honest.
You will promise me that?”
He knew be was preparing to equivo¬
cate as he gave his word. A lie to
sate Claire from hurt was more cred¬
itable than truth. The Impulse to
shield her, to keep from her all sus¬
picion of his love for Carla, swept
over him as he looked at her. She
was like the flowers on the table, as
easily crushed, he thought. More
vividly than ever he saw the differ¬
ence between her and Carla. Carla
would fight on through tragedy, even
to death. Claire, suffering more,
would droop and fade like a petal in
a rose, shrinking from the quicker
and more physical action which the
other would find for himself He was
not analyzing himself, or her. The
thought—like a picture—impressed
Itself upon him, and Claire, gazing at
him in these epic. Introspective mo¬
ments, as if partly seeing the swift
visioning in his minu. surprised him
by saying:
“Paul, I wonder if you know, Just
how much I honor and respect you.
1 wonder if you realize how fine you
are. I have failed to play my part—
as your wife, i have not let you
know these things as 1 should. The
fault in our lives is not yours, it is
mine, 1 think i could have made you
love me. Yet I saw the unfairness of
it unless 1 could make myself love you
first. 1 hoped and prayed for that.
“There wasn't love when we were
married, on either side. You did not
love me. not in the w»y you wanted
to love a woman, and my feeling for
you was an immeasurable respect and
admiration for an honorable gentle¬
man. It seems trite and superficial
to say that the interests of our fam¬
ilies brought us together, does it not?
But It Is true. I wanted to love you.
But 1 discovered—after a little while
—that something was in my way.”
“1 know,” he found himself saying.
“You couldn’t love an animal, Claire.
1 was that, until the day you came to
the Mistassini. I have been blind and
brutal. God knows 1 am only half
Worthy of you!”
“And Carla?”
So softly did his wife speak Carla’s
name that for a moment it seemed as
if he had not heard it.
“We have promised ourselves to be
honest,” she continued. “Do you re¬
member a letter I wrote you from
Paris in which I said I was coming to
you and that 1 was sure a more im
portanr thing would happen for us In
your woods than any journey, like
your promised one around the world,
could give?”
“Yes. i remember.”
“Do you know—now—wby I told
you that?"
“1 have only wondered."
“It was because I had seen, because
l had ead between the lines of your
letters, because I knew at last a great
love had come into your life, and that
Carla Haldan had brought if to you
You do not love me. You love Carla
And. loving her, you would sacrifice
everything for my sake.”
His fabric ot lies was gone, his
soul laid bare under the gaze of his
wife's eyes.
“I want to hear you say It, Paul."
She was repeating Carla's words whis¬
pered to him in the blackness of flie
earth. “That is why I came to you
there. A woman may hide her love
from a man, but not from another
woman, and it was impossible for
Carla to keep her secret from me.
Yours was still more open, though I
saw you making a magnificent fight.
I know, Paul. But 1 want to hear it
from your lips. I must hear It. Do
you love Carla Haldan?"
“Y'es, 1 love her.’’
“More than any other woman In the
world?”
”1 could only love one woman in
that wav."
He was conscious or having struck
a deadly blow, a hurl he would rather
have died than inflict upon t'laire. It
had dragged itself from him in spite
of his determination, and he waited
for nis punishment, its effect on her.
Claire’s eyes did not waver. She did
not flinch, a starry, radiant light
came into her face, and she gave a
breathless, half-articulate cry, not of
shock or of pain, bln of joy. He saw
ttie blood flushing her cheeks, the
tenseness leaving her body, and they
sat for a time in silence, neitiier mak- i
ing on effort 10 speak.
Then he said:
“1 thought l would hurt you. And ,
you are glad I"
“Yes, I am glad. I thank God you
love Carla.”
She rose to her feet, and took a
letter from the table. She was trying
to keep from crying as she gave it
to him.
”1 want you to rend it and then
come buck to me,” she said. “This
evening, if you will, Paul. I lack the
courage to tell you things. You will
understand when you open it, alone.”
He went to ttie Kirke-Durand build¬
ing and lost himself in the human
stream going up with the elevators.
On one of the floors was an office, al¬
ways ready for him. He shut himself
in and locked the door.
lie opened the letter. There were
many pages, closely written In Claire’s
hand. With almost childish candor
they began to tell him of a woman’s
fight to triumph over herself. I.ike
an indestructible redolence they
breathed the sureness of Claire’s faith
in herself. Without emotional effort
she told him that unless Carla had
come into his life she would never
have let him know what she was
about to reveal. There was no man
in tile world more worthy of a wom¬
an’s love than he, she said. Yet, from
the beginning, she had been unable to
build tier respect and admiration into
greater things she should have given
him. That was one reason why, re¬
pelling tlie thought of making him
care greatly for her when she could
not love him, she had kept herself
away from him so much. One's pas¬
sion for another, in Its holiest form,
was guided by a single force. One
might stem that and hold it back,
but it was impossible to make it die.
Such a love was Carla’s for him.
Then she spoke of another man. It
was of Jimmy Eunerdale, the sculptor,
who was driving his way so persistent¬
ly to success. She had accepted Jim¬
my almost as a brother during her
girlhood, but very soon after her mar¬
riage the truth had come to tier, she
said, and had grown stronger with
each year. She cared for Ennerdale
Just as Carla cared for him. It was
Paul who might have been her broth ;
er, with such frank and unembar
rassed simplicity did she confide in
him. Stie knew that Eunerdale loved
her, and repeated that a man could
not conceal that fact from a woman,
though he did not express it in words,
and she was sure Jimmy had no Idea
of her sentiment toward him. This
love for Jimmy was the other reason,
the more vital of the two, which had
held her aioof from Paul. She loved
Jimmy’s work and wanted to become
a part of IL She had never held It to
be possible, and had not thought of
it in tiiat way until she knew that he
loved Carla.

TO SHAKE
HANDS; KILLS HIM
Man Gets Penitentiary
Sentence.
Sioux Falls, S. D.—A refusal to
shake hands inis resulted in tlie slay¬
ing of one man and Hie lodging of tlie
man who killed him in tlie state peni¬
tentiary in Sioux Falls to serve u life
term.
The murdered man was William E.
Lewis, connected with the state high¬
way department of South Dakota and
father of Don Lewis, state lire insur¬
ance commissioner, while the slayer
was Jose Lopez, a Mexican, who had
been employed on ranches in western
South Dakota. The slayer gave his
uge as 21. His victim was 70.
On the morning of tlie slaying Mr.
Lewis was in his car about a half
mile from a state highway ten miles
east of Newell, northeast of tlie Black
Hills, lie was acting ns checker for
road building crews working on the
highway. Lopez, according to his own
statement afier he was captured, went
to the car and asked Mr. Lewis for a
drink of water. The old man gave
him ihe water ns requested.
Then the Mexican, who was in a
half crazed condition from drinking
marijuana, a strong intoxicating drink
made from certain roots, requested
Mr. Lewis to shake hands with him.
This the latter refused to do, and
started getting info his car, having
stepped from the car to give the Mexi¬
can the drink of water.
The Mexican grasped him and
pulled hirn from the car, and as he
was doing this Mr. Lewis pulled a
knife from his pocket with which to
defend himself. A scuffle resulted and
the Mexican was cut slightly on one
hand. This caused him to “see red,”
and, drawing Ids own knife and with
that snatched from Mr. Lewis in ttie
other hand, lie commenced cutting
and slashing tlie old man with both
knives. The blade of one of tlie knives
penetrated the brain of the victim,
death resulting instantly.
Lopez then went to Newell and re¬
ported he had killed a man and the
body of his victim was found after a
search on a side hill where ttie battle
to Hie death had taken place.

AMOS, A HERDSMAN CALLED OF
GOD TO BE A PROPHET
LESSON TEXT—The Book of Amos.
GOLDEN TEXT—1 heard the voice
of the Lord saying. Whom shall 1
send and who will go for us? Then
said I. Here am I, send me.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A Shepherd Who
Became Great.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Shepherd Who
Became Great.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Answering God’s Call.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—Work That Serves God.
I. The Call of Amos (1 :1).
He was a herdsman and gatherer
of sycamore fruit (7:14). As a herds¬
man ids income was not sufficient,
therefore, lie supplemented it by sell¬
ing sycamore fruit. He was not u
prophet by succession, neither was he
trained in the prophetic schools, lie
sat not at the feet of any greut teach¬
er. God called him from a humble
life to staud before Hie king. A proph¬
et is one who forthtelis more espe¬
cially than foretells. Mis primary work
was proclaiming God's message rather
than predicting events to come.
II. To Whom Was Amos Sent (1:!)?
God sent him primarily to Israel,
ttie northern nation. Though he was
from Judah, his ministry was to be pri¬
marily to Israel. It was during tlie
reign of Jeroboam 11 when tlie north¬
ern kingdom had reached its highest
state of prosperity. This prosperity,
ns is usually the case, was accom¬
panied with a condition of luxury, cor¬
ruption. and gross wickedness.
III. Amos’ Message.
1. Sins denounced (2:6-8; 6:1-0).
(1) Avaricious greed (2:0-8).
a. Sold tlie righteous for silver
(v. 6).
The judge for * bribe of silver de¬
clared the innocent to lie guilty.
b. Sold tlie poor for a pair of slices.
The word “shoes" doubtless means
sandals, the price of which was com¬
paratively small.
c. Pants after Hie dust of tlie earth
(v. 7).
The word “pant" means to eagerly
desire. So avaricious hud these men
become that they even grasped after
Hie earth which tlie downtrodden poor
cast upon their iieads in mourning
their misery.
d. Turned aside tlie way of the meek.
These grasping rich men turned
aside those who (lid not stand up lor
their rights.
e. Licentiousness (v. 7).
It was not merely the case of fall¬
ing into sensuous sin but indulgence
witii a definite purpose of insulting
God and dishonoring ids berry name.
(2) Reckless security (6:l-3).
They were living in a ‘-fool’s para¬
dise" and closing their ey*?s to Hie ap¬
proaching storm of judgment predicted
by tlie prophet. They regarded their
city as impregnable. The strength of a
nation is its righteousness, not its
wealth and armaments
(3) Luxury (vv. 4-6).
Their luxury expressed itself In:
a. Extravagant furnGuie (v. 4).
They had beds of ivory, which means
perhaps wood inlaid witii ivory.
h. Laziness (v.4).
Many stretched themselves on their
couches, living lives of indolence.
c. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4).
They bought what they desired re¬
gardless of its cost,
d. Adorned their reasts with music
(v. 5).
They sang idle songs, even invented
musical Instruments for this purpose.
e. They drank wine (v.6).
They drank from bowls, indicating
excessive drinking. Though their feasts
were adorned with refinement of mus¬
ic, they ended in drunkenness.
(4) They failed to grieve for Joseph
(v. 6).
Joseph here stands for Ephraim and
Manasseh.
2. The remedy proposed (5:4-9).
The prophet called upon them to
return to God. He said, “Seek ye me
and ye shall live.” The Implication is
that while as yet the divine judgments
are stayed an opportunity is offered
for them to turn to God. “Seek” means
applying for help. The time to repent
is while judgment is stayed. In their
turning to God they were to renounce:
(1) Idolatry (vv. 5,6).
They were to turn away from the
places of idolatry—Bethel, Gilgal, and
Beersheba. God's judgment was to
strike these places.
(2) Cease to pervert judgment (v 7).
Turning judgment to wormwood im¬
plies the bitterness of the perversion
of judgment to the Injured.
(3) Cease to dethrone righteousness.
Leaving off righteousness is thought
to mean that unrighteousness was al¬
lowed to take its place. He now for
the third time urged them to seek tlie
Lord.
Praise the Lord
Good is the Lord—his loving kind¬
ness and his tender mercy are beyond
all my thought! I will therefore praise
him loudly, sweetly, with my whole
heart, and with the buoyancy of ecsta¬
tic love.—Joseph Parker.
Trifles
“In conduct do not make trifles
of trifles. Record the smallest action
as being either right or wrong, and
make a conscience of little things.’’—
Spurgeon.
Government Films Abroad
Uncle Sum’s own official movie in¬
dustry seems to be reaching consid¬
erable proportions. Tlie Department
of Agriculture films now cover 250
subjects, and are beginning to be
in fairly strong demand from for¬
eign governments. Tlie government
of Uruguay, for instance, recently
ordered 136 copies of official films,
while other countries inlying the
films included Mexico, Cuba, Nica¬
ragua, Haiti, Colombia, Peru, Ar¬
gentina, Brazil, Dominion of Canada,
South Africa, New South Wales, Bel¬
gium, Holland, Japan, Turkey, Ger¬
many and Soviet Union.
Different Matter
Husband—And what did you pay
for that hat?
Wife—Nothing,
Husband—Well, that is cheap!
How did you manage ii?
Wife—I told the milliner to send
you Hie bill.—Dorfbarbier (Berlin).
Futility of Anger
Anger is not only tlie prevailing
sin of argument, but also its great¬
est stumbling block.—Gladstone.
