INCURABLE. m (Continued.) 6een my heart? For 20 years they have been my light. Those eyes and mine ( have seen our ohildren die. " Spasmodic sobs came thiokly now. Swallowing them down, she said, "And she — did she not ask thee to give me Gett?" "Nay, she was willing to go without. She said thou wast as one dead — look not thus at me. It is the will of God. It was for thy sake, too, Sarah, that she did not; become my wife by law. She, too, would have spared thee the knowl- edge of her." "Yes, ye have both tender hearts! She is a mother m Israel, and thou art a spark of our father Abraham. " "Thou dost not believe what I say?" "I oan disbelieve it and still remain a Jewess." Then, satire boiling over into passion, she cried vehemently: "We are thrashing empty ears. Thinkst thou I am not aware of the judgments —I, the granddaughter of Reb Shloumi? Thinkst thou lam ignorant thou oouldst not obtain a Gett against me — me, who have borne thee ohildren, who have wrought no evil? I speak not of the Beth-Din, for m this impious country they are loath to follow the judgments, and from the English Beth-Din thou wouldsfc find it impossible to obtain the Gett m any oase, even though thou didst not marry me m this oountry nor according to its laws. I speak of our own Rabbonim — thou knowest even the Maggid would not give thee Getfc mere- ly beoause thy wife is bedridden. That — that is what thou wast afraid of." "But if thou art willing, " he replied eagerly, ignoring her scornful skepti- oism. His readiness to aocept the saorifice was salt upon her wounds. "Thou deservest I should let thee burn m the lowest Gehenna, " she cried. ' 'The Almighty is more meroiful than thou, " he answered. "It is he that hath ordained it is not good for man to live alone, and yet men shun me, people talk, and she — she may leave me to my loneliness again." His voice faltered with self pity. ' 'Here thou hast friends, nurses, visitors. I — l have nothing. True, thou didst bear me children, but they withered as by the evil eye. My only son is across the ocean. He hath no love for me or you. " The reoital of their common griefs softened her toward him. "Go, " she whispered. ' 'Go and send me the Gett. Go to the Maggid. He knew my grandfather. Ho is the man to arrange it for thee with his friends. Tell him it is my wish. " "God shall reward thee. How can I thank thee for giving thy consent?" "What else have I to give thee, my Herzel, I, who eat the bread of stran- . gers? Truly says the proverb, 'When one begs of a beggar, the Herr God laughs!' " ' "I will send thee the Gett as soon as possible." "Thou art right; I am a thorn m thine eye. Pluck me out quickly. " "Thou wilt not refuse the Gett when it comes?" he replied apprehensively. "Is it not a wife's duty to submit? Nay, have no fear. Thou shalt have no difficulty m serving the Gefcfc upon me. I will not throw it m the messenger's face, and thou wilt marry her?" "Assuredly. People will no longer talk, and she must bide with me. It is my one desira" "It is mine likewise. Thou must atone and save thy soul." < He lingered uncertainly. "And thy dowry?" he said at last "Thou wilt not make claim for oom- pensation?" "Be easy. I scarce know where my cesubah (marriage certificate) is. What need have lof money? As thou sayest, I have all I want. Ido not even desire to purchase a graye — lying already so long m a charity grava The bitterness is over." He shivered. "Thou art very good, to me," he said. "Goodbyl" Ho stooped down. She drew the bed- olothes frenziedly over her face. "Kiss me not I" "Goodby, then," he stammered. "God be good to theel" He moved away. "Herzell" She had uncovered her faoe with a despairing cry. He slouohed back toward her, perturbed, dreading she would retract. "Do not send it. Bring it thyself. Let me take it from thy hand. " A lump rose m his throat "I will bring it," he said brokenly. The long days of pain grew longer; the summer was coming, harbingered by sunny days that flooded the wards with golden mockery. The evening Her- zel brought the Gett Sarah could have read every word on the parchment plainly if her eyes had not been blinded by tears. She put out her hand toward her hus- band, groping for the document he bore. He placed it m her burning palm. The fingers closed automatically upon it, then relaxed, and the paper fluttered to the floor. But Sarah was no longer a wife. Herzel was glad to hide his burning faoe by stooping for the fallen bill of divorcement. He was long picking it up. When his eyes met hers again, she had propped herself up m her bed. Two big round tears trickled down her oheeks, but she received the parchment oalmly and thrust it into her bosom. "Let it lie there," she said stonily— "there, where thy head hath lain. Blessed be the true Judge 1" "Thou art not angry with me, Sarah?" "Why should Ibe angry? She wan right. lam but a dead woman. Only no one may say Kaddish for me — no one may pray for the repose of my soul. I am not angry, Herzel. A wife should light the Sabbath candles and throw m the flro the morsel of dotigh, but thy house was desolate. There was none to do these things. Here I have all I need. Now thou wilt be happy too." "Thou hast been a good wife, Sarah," he murmured, touched. "Recall not the past. We are stran- gers now," she said, with recurrent harshness. 7 "But I may come andseethoe — soino- tlmes?" Ho had stirrings of remorse as the moment of final parting came. (To be continued.) Eykn a glance at their windows will show thai Craighead & Berryman are determined to maintain Iheirre.putation « B the leading tailors and outfit eri—lAdvt)
