[SPAM] d the exciti

Ze with those sufferings which rend the entrails and make a man question
if there is a God in heaven. But I shall know it where I am. No mounded
earth can keep my spirit down when John Poindexter feels his doom. I
shall be conscious of his anguish and shall rejoice; and when in the
depths of darkness to which I go he comes faltering along my way----
"Boy, boy, you have been reared for this. God made you handsome; man has
made you strong; you have made yourself intelligent and accomplished.
You have only to show yourself to this country girl to become the master
of her will and affection, and these once yours, remember _me_!
_Remember Evelyn!_" Never had Thomas been witness to such passion. It
swept him along in a burning stream against which he sought to contend
and could not. Raising his hand in what he meant as a response to that
appeal, he endeavored to speak, but failed. His father misinterpreted
his silence, and bitterly cried: "You are dumb! You do not like the
task; are virtuous, perhaps--you who have lived for years alone and
unhampered in Paris. Or you have instincts of honor, habits of
generosity that blind you to wrongs that for a longer space than your
lifetime have cried aloud to heaven for vengeance. Thomas, Thomas, if
you should fail me now----" "He will not fail you," broke in the voice
of Felix, calm, suave, and insinuating. "I have watched him; I know him;
he will not fail you." Thomas shuddered; he had forgotten Felix, but as
he heard these words he could no longer delay looking at the man who had
offered to stand his surety for the performance of the unholy deed his
father exacted from him. Turning, he saw a man who in any place and
under any roof would attract attention, awake admiration and--yes, fear.
He was not a large man, not so large as himself, but the will that
expressed itself in frenzy on his father's lips showed quiet and
inflexible in the gray eye resting upon his own with a power he could
never hope to evade. As he looked and comprehended, a steel band seemed
to compress his heart; yet he was conscious at the same time that the
personality before which he thus succumbed was as elegant as his own and
as perfect
