INCURABLE. (Continued.) He staid on, bending awkwardly over her. "So siok, so Biofc, bo eiokl" moaned the grandmother. ' 'Thou Bayest they have compassion on thee m their talk, " he murmured at last, half depreoatingly, half rwentful- ly. "Have they none on me?" Her silence chilled him. "But thou hast compassion, Sarah," he urged. "Thou understandest. " Presently she reopened her eyes. "Thou art not gone?" she murmured. "No; thou seest I am not tired of thee, Barab, my life. Only" — "Wilt thou wash my skin and not make me wet?" she interrupted bitter- ly. "Go home. Go home to her!" "I will nob go home." "Then go under, like Korah." He shuffled out. That night her lone- ly hell was made lonelier by the open- tog of a peephole into paradise — a para- dise of Adam and Eve and forbidden fruit. For days she preserved a stony silence toward the sympathy of the in- "Goodby, then," he stammered. mates. Of what avail words against the flames of jealousy m whioh she writhed? He lingered about the passage on the next visiting day, vaguely remorseful, but she would not see him. So he went away sulkily indignant, and his new housemate comforted him, and he came no more. When you lie on your baok all day and all night, you have time to think, especially if you do not sleep. A situa- tion presents itself m many lights from dawn to dusk and from dusk to dawn. One such light flashed on the paradise and showed it to her as but the portico of purgatory. Her husband would be damned m the next world, even as she was m this. His soul would be cut off from among ita people. On this thought she brooded till it loomed horribly m her darkness, and at last she dictated a letter to the matron, asking Herzel to come and see her. He obeyed and stood shamefaced at her side, fidgeting with his peaked cap. Her hard face softened momentarily at the sight of him; her bosom heaved; suppressed sobs swelled her throat. "Thou hast Bent forme?" he mur- mured. "Yes; perhaps thou didsfc again im- agine I was on nay deathbed?" she re- plied, with bitter irony. "It is not so, Sarah. I would have come of myself, only thou wouldst not see my faoe." ''I have seen it for 30 years. It is an- other's turn now. " He was silent. "It is true ali the same. I am on my ; deathbed." He started. A pang shot through his breast. He darted an agitated glance at her face. "Is it not so? In this bed I shall die, but God knows how many years I shall lie m it." Her calm gave him an unoanny shudder. "And till the Holy One, blessed be he, takes me thou wilt live a daily sin- ner," ''I am not to blame. God has stricken me. I am a young man. " "Thou art to blame!" Her eyea flash* ed fire. ' 'Blasphemer, life is sweet to thee, yet perhaps thou wilt die first!" His face grew livid. "I am a young man, "he repeated tremulously. "Thou dost forget what Rabbi Eliezer said, 'Repent one day before thy death' — that is today, for who knows?" "What wouldst thou have me do?" "Give up"— "No, no, " he interrupted. "It is use- less. I cannot. I am so lonely. " "Give up," she repeated inexorably, "thy wife." "What sayest thou? My wife! But she is not my wife. Thou art my wife. " "Even so. Give me up. GivemeGett (divorce)." His breath failed; his heart thumped at the suggestion. "Give thee Gett!" he whispered. "Yes. Why didst thou not send me a bill of divorcement when I left thy home for this?" He averted his face. "I thought of it," he stammered, "and then" — "And then?" He seemed to see a sar- donic glitter m the gray eyes. "I— l was afraid. " "Afraid?" She laughed m grim mirthlessuess. ' 'Afraid of a bedridden woman!" "I was afraid it would make thee un- happy." The sardonic gleam melted into softness, then became more terrible than before. "And so thou hast made me happy instead!" "Stab me not more than I merit. 1 did not think people would be orael enough to tell thoe." "Thine own lips told me. " "Nay, by my soul," he cried, atWv tied. ' "Thine eyes told me, then. " "I feared bo, " he said, turning them away. "When she— oame into my house, I— l dared not go to see thee. That was why I did not come, though I always meant to, Sarah, my life. I feared to look thee m the eyes. I fore- Baw they would read the seoret m mine, J so I was afraid. ' ' ! "Afraid!" she repeated bitterly.] "Afraid I would scratch them out!} Nay, they are good eyes.
