CHAPTER XXV.
There was sleet that evening, with a
wboq£fng wind, but neither this storm
nor that other which so Imminently
threatened him held place in the con
sciousness of Bibbs Sheridan when he
came once more to the presence of
Mary. All was right In his world as
he sat with her, reading Maurice Mae
terlinck's "Ailadlne and Palomldes."
And while the zinc eater held out to
bring him sucb golden nights si these,
all the king*a horses and all the king's
men might not serve to break the
spell.
Blbba read slowly, but in a reason
able manner, a« if he were talking;
and Mary, looking at him steadily
from beneath her curved Angers, ap
peared to discover no fault. It had
grown to be her habit to look at him
whenever there was an opportunity.
It may be said, in truth, that while
they were together, and It was light,
she looked at blm all the time.
When he came to the end Of "Aila
dlne and Talomldea" they were silent
a little while, considering togetber;
then be turned back the pages and
said:
"There's something I want to read
over. This:
Too would think I threw a window
open on the dawn. . . . She hae a soul
that can be eeen around her—that takes
you In Its arm* Ilk* an ailing child and
without laying anything to you console*
you for everything. . . , I *hall never un
dentand It all I do not know how It
can all be but my kneee bend In spit* of
me wh«n I cpeak of It . . .
He stopped and looked at her.
"Ton boy!** said Mary, not very
clearly.
"Oh, yes," he returned. "But it's
true—especially my knee*!"
"Ton boy!" she murmured again,
blushing charmingly. "Yon might read
another line over. The Drat time I
ever saw you. Bibbs, yon were look
ing Into a mirror. Do it again. But
yon needn't read It—l can give It to
you; 'A little Greek slave that cam*
from the heart of Arcady!*"
"II I'm one of tbe bands at the
Pump works—and going to stay one,
unless I have to decide to study
plumbing."
"No." She shook ber head. "Ton
love and want what's beautiful and
delicate and serene; ifs really art that
7°9 J**®* to your life, and have always
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPIEMBER 21, 1916
wanted. You seemed to me. from the
flrjlJ the most wistful person I had
ever known, and that's what yon were
wistful for."
Bibbs looked donbtful and more
wistful than ever; but after a moment
or two the matter seemed to clarify
Itself to him. "Why, no."
Wanted something else more than that
I wanted yon."
. "And here I ami" she laughed, com
pletely understanding. "I think we're
like those two In "The Cloister and
the Hearth." I'm Just the rough Bur
gundlan crossbow man, Denys, who
followed that gentle Gerard and told
everybody that the devil was dead."
"He Isn't, though," said Bibbs, as a
hoarse little bell In the next room be
gan a series of snapplngs which
proved to be ten, upon count. "He
gets Into the clock whenever I'm with
you." And, sighing deeply, be rose
to go.
"You're always very prompt about
leaving me."
"There's one little time In the twenty
four hours when I'm not happy. It's
now,-when I have to say good night.
But now's the bad time—and I must
go through It, and so—good night."
And he added with a pungent vehe
mence of which he was little aware.
"I hate It!"
"Do you?" she said, rising to go to
the door with him. But he stood mo
tionless, gazing at her wonderlngly.
"Mary! Your eyes are so—" He
stopped.
"Yes?" But she looked quickly away.
"I don't know," he said. "I thought
Just then—"
"What did you think?"
"I don't know—lt seemed to hie that
there was something I ought to under
stand—and didn't"
She laughed and met his wondering
gaze again frankly. "My eyes are
pleased," she said. "I'm glad that you
miss me a little after you go."
"But tomorrow's coming faster than
other days, If you'll let It," he said.
She Inclined her head. "Yes. I'll—
'let It'!"
"Going to church," said Bibbs. "It Is
going to church when I go with you!"
She went to the front door with him;
she always went that far. They had
formed a little code of leave-taking,
by habit, neither of them ever speak
ing of it; but It was always the same.
She always stood in the doorway until
he reached the sidewalk, and there he
always turned and looked back, and
she waved her hand to him. Then he
went on, half-way to the new house,
and looked back again, and Mary was
not In the doorway, but the door was
open and the light shone. It was as
If she meant to tell him that she would
never shut blm out; he could always
see that friendly light of the open
doorway—as If It were open for him to
come back, If he would. He could see
It until a wing of the new house came
between, when he up the path.
The open doorway seemed to him the
beautiful symbol of her friendship—of
ber thought of him; a symbol of her
self end of her Ineffable kindness.
And she kept the door open —even
tonight, though the uleet and fine «now
swept in upon her hare throat and
arms, and her brown hair was strewn
with tiny white utara. Hl* heart
leaped as he turned and saw that she
was there, waving her hand to him, as
If he did not know that the storm
touched her. When he had gone on,
Mary did as she always did —she went
Into an unlit room across the hall from
that In which they had spent the eve
ning, and, looking from the window,
watched him until be was ont of sight.
The storm made that difficult tonight,
but she caught a glimpse of him under
the street lamp that stood between the
two houses, and saw that he turned to
look back again. Then, and not before,
she looked at the upper windows of
Roscoe's house across the street. They
were dark. Mary waited, but after a
little while she closed the front door
and returned to her window. A
moment later two of the upper win
dows of Roscoe's bouse flashed Into
light and a hand lowered the shade of
one of them. Mary felt the cold then
—-It was the third night she had seen
those windows lighted and that shade
lowered. Just after Bibbs had gone.
Bibbs stopped at his last look back
at the open door, and, with a thin
mantle of white already upon bis
shoulders, made his way, gasping In
the wind, to the'lee of the sheltering
wing of the new bouse.
A stricken Oeorge, muttering hoarse
ly, admitted him, and Bibbs became
aware of a paroxysm within the bouse.
Terrible sounds came from the li
brary: Sheridan cursing as never be
fore; his wife sobbing, her voice rising
to an agonized sqoeal of protest npon
each of a series of muffled detonations
—the outrageous thumping of a band
aged hand upon wood; then Oumey,
sharply Imperious, "Keep your band
In that sllngl Keep your hand in
that silng, I say!"
"Look!" Oeorge gasped, delighted to
play herald for so important a tragedy;
and be renewed upon bis face the
ghastly expression with wblcb be bad
first beheld the rains bis calamitous
gesture laid before the eyes of Bibb*.
"Look at 'a lamldal statue!**
-Gazing down the ball, Bibbs saw
heroic wreckage, seemingly Byzantine
—painted colossal fragments or a shat
tered torso, appallingly human; and
glided and silvered heaps of magnlfl
cence strewn among ruinous palma
like the spoil of a barbarians' battle.
YEere had been a massacre In the
oasts—the Moor bad been hurled from
his pedestal.
"He hit 'at ole lamldal statue," aald
George. "PowP*
"My father?"
"Yessub! Pow! he hit *er! An' yon'

said. "I pick 'er np when he done

Bibbs—yon' ma tell me tnhn 'er ovuh

Blbba read the telegram qnlckly. It
was from New York and addressed to
Mrs. Sheridan.

nothing less than Insufferable for hia

Crisd.
father, was about to mske his escape
Into the gold-and-brocade room when
be heard Sheridan vociferously de
manding his presence.
"Tell him to come In here! He's out
there. " I beard George Just let him In.
Now yoe'll see!" And tear-stained
Mrs. Sheridan, looking out Into the
ball, beckoned to ber son.
Bibbs went as far as the doorway.
Gurney sat winding a strip of white
cotton, his black bag open upon a
chair near by; and Sheridan was strid
ing up and down, bis hand so heavily
wrapped In fresh bandages that he
seemed to he wearing a small boxing
glove. His eyes were bloodshot; bis
forehead was heavily bedewed; one
side of his collar had broken loose,
and there were blood stains upon Ms
right cuff.
"There's our little sunshine!" be
cried, as Bibbs appeared. "There's the
hope o' the famliy—my lifelong pride
and Joy! I want—"
"Keep your hand In that sling," said
Ourney, sharply.
Hherldan turned upon him, uttering
a sound Ilka a howl. "For Ood's sake,
sing another tune!" be cried. "You
said you 'came as a doctor but stay
as a friend,' and In that capacity you
undertake to alt up and criticise ma—"
"Oh, talk sense," said the doctor,
and yawned Intentionally. "What do
you want Bibbs to say?"
"You were slttln' up there telHn' me
I got 'hysterical'—■hysterical,' oh Lord!
You sat up there and told ma I got
'hysterical' over nothin'! You aat op
there tellln' me I didn't bava as heavy
burdens ss many another man you
knew. I Just want you to bear this.
Now listen!" He swung toward tbs
quiet figure waiting In the doorway.
"Bibbs' will yon come down town with
me Monday morning and let me start
you with two vice-presidencies, a di
rectorship, stock and sslarles? I ask
yo"."
"No, father," said Blbba, gently.
Sheridan looked at Ourney and then
faced his son once mora.
' "And I'd like the doctor to bear:
What 'II you do If I decide you're too
high-priced a workln- man either to
live In my house or work In my shop?"
"Find other work," said Blbba.
"There! You bear him for youraelf!"
Sheridan cried. "You hear what —"
"Keep your band In that sling! Yes,
I bear him."
Hherldan leaned over Ourney and
shouted. In a voice that cracked and
broke, piping Into falsetto: "He thinks
of beln' a plumber !He wants to be a
plumber so be can think!"
He fell back a step, wiping bis fore
bead with the back of bis left band.
"There! Tbat'e my son! That's the
only son I got now! That's my chance
to live," he cried, with a bitterness
that seemed to leave ashes In bis
throat "Tbat'e my one chance to
j live—that thing you see In the door
way yonder!"
Doctor Ourney thoughtfully regard
ed the bandage strip be bad been
winding, and toaaed It Into the open
bag. "What's the matter with giving
Bibbs a chance to live?" he as Id. cool
ly. "I would If I were you. You've
had two that went Into business."
Sheridan's mouth moved grotaaqnely
before be could speak. "Joe Ourney,"
he said, when he could command hlm

the responsibility for the death of my
son James?"
"I sccuse yon of nothing," said the
doctor. "Bat Just once I'd like to have
It out with yon on the question of
Bibbs—and whlls he's here, too." He
got up, walked to the Are, and stood
warming hla hands behind his bsck
and smiling. "Look here, old fellow,
let's be reasonable," he said. "You
were bound Bibbs should go to the
shop again, and he did go, and he's
made good there. Now, see: Isn't
that enough? Cant you let him off
now? He wants to write, and how do
you know that be couldn't do It If you
gave him a chance? How do you know
he hasn't some message—something
to say that might make the world Just
a little bit happier or wiser? I'm not
speaking as doctor now. But I tell you
one thing I know: If yon take him
down there you'll kill something that
I feel is in him, snd It's liner, I think,
than his physical body, and you'll kill
It deader than a door-nail 1 And so
why not let It live? You've about
come to the end of your string, old
fellow. Why not stop tblj perpetual
devilish fighting and give Bibbs his
chance?"
Sheridan stood looking at blm fixed
ly. "What 'fighting?' "
"Yours—with nature." Ourney sus
tained the daunting gaze of bis fierce
antagonist equably. "You don't seem
to, understand that you've been strug
gling against actual law."
"What law?"
"Natural law," said Ourney. "What
do you tlilnk beat you with EdltbT
Did Edith, herself, beat you? Didn't
she obey without question something
powerful that was against you? Edith
wasn't against you, and you weren't
aginst her, but you set yourself against
the power that had her In lta grip, and
It shot out a spurt of flame —and woo
In a walk! What's taken Roscoe from
you? Timbers bear Just so much
strain, old man; but you wanted to
send the load across the broken bridga,
and you thought you could or
coax the cracked thing Into standing.
Well, you couldn't! isow here's Blbba.
There are thousands of men fit for the
life you want blm to lead —and so Is
he. It wouldn't take half of Blbba'
brains to be twice as good a business
man as Jim and Roscoe put together."
"What!" Sheridan goggled at blm
like a zany.
"Your son Bibbs," said the doctor,
composedly. "lilbbs Hherldan has the
kind and quantity of 'gray matter' that
will make blm a success In anything—
If be ever wakes up! The thousands
of men fit for the life you want blm to
lead aren't lit to do much with the
life he ought to lead. Blindly, he's
been fighting for the chance to lead
It —he's obeying something that begs
to stay alive wltbln him; and, blindly,

set your will to do It. Let me tell you

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, II Cor. Iv, 1, to v, 4
(Quarterly Review) —Golden Tout, II
Cor.
by Rev. D. M. Stearns. .
LESSON T— Paul at Thessalonica and
Berea, Acta xvll. 1-15. Golden Text.
Acta v, 31, "Illm illd God exalt with
Hla right hand to be a prince and a
Saviour." May we BO gee these men
of Cod going from place to place
preaching Jesuit Christ crucified, risen,
and coming again, that we shall decide
to do likewise at all costs, knowing
that everywhere some will believe,
though others believe not.
LESSON ll.—The Thessalouian Chris
tians, I Thess. | and Iv, 13-18. Colden
Text, I Thess. Iv, 14, "Them that are
fallen asleep In Jesus will God bring
with Him." It Is refreshing to note
how these |ieople received the message,
not as from mou, but from God; how
effectually it wrought in them and how
they proclaimed It to others, seeking
to please God and not men (I, 8; 11, 4).
LESSON lll.—l'aul at Athens, Acts
xvll, 1(1-34. Colden Text, Acts xvll, 28,
"In Him we live and move and have
our being." In this gentile city, very re
llgious, but wholly Idolatrous, Paul
preached Christ as the Creator of all
things and the sustalner of natural
life In all Ills creatures, but also as
crucified and risen from the dead and
tho appointed Judge of all mankind.
LESSON IV.—Paul at Corinth, Acta
xvlll, 1-22. Coldeu Text, Acts xvlll, 9,
"Bo not afraid, but s|>eak and hold not
thy peace." Working at tils trade of
tentmaklng, along with Aquiia and
Prlscilla, he continued at Corinth a
*eur and six months teaching tho word
of God among them (Xvlll, Jl). The
opposition was great, but a night visit
from the Lord Himself with the gra
cious message of verses 0, 10, was an
unusual strength and encouragement
Lehdon V.—The word of' the croaa, 1
Cor. I, 18, to u, 2. Golden Toit, Gal.
vl, 14, "Far be It from me to glory
save In tlie cromi of our Lord Jexun
Christ." Although I'h ul knew nucb of
tlio wisdom of tlili world, he renouno
cd It all for Jesua Chrlat, who bad be
come to him the power of God and the
wisdom of God and who wna made
unto him and to nil believer* wladom,
righteousness, aanctlflcatlon and re
demption (I Cor. 1. 17. 18. 21. 24, 30).
Lkhhon Vl.—The grcateat thing In the
world, I Cor. xlll. Golden Text, I Cor.
*lll, 13. "Now alilileth faith, hope,
love, those three, and tlie grouteNt of
theae In lovo"—greater than the gift
of tonguex or undemanding myaterlea
or the power to work miracle*, for God
la I.ove, but without faith It la luipoa-
Millie til please God.
LEMON Vll.— The grace G f giving, II
Cor. lx. Golden Text, Acta xx, 33, ••Re
member the word* of the Ixml Jeaua
that lie Himself Hiild, "It 1m more bleat
ed to vive than to receive." Giving la
ea«y when the love of Chrlat con
atriiliiN na, IwauM* of 11 1m great grace
and love to UH, and when we remem
ber flint we have nothing that we
have not received, that all thlnga come
from lllrn and we can only give Him
IIIH own which lie linn flint given to ua.
LKaaoa Vlll.—The riot at Kpheaua,
Acta xlx. 20-41. Golden Text, I Tim.
vl, 10. "The love of money la a root of
all kinds of evil." The record of the
riot IM the leant important part of thin

part of 111IM chapter tell* of Paul'*
