Unfitted for duties which must be fulfilled, physically incapacitated for the responsibilities of life mere school-girls in many instances the chains they have assumed become cables of iron, whose heavy weight crushes into the heart, erasing for ever the footprints of affection, and leaving instead the black marks of deadly hate. Then comes the struggle for supremacy.
Faulkner said, ran into the drive and stooped over him; then he started in pursuit of the murderer, of whom he may possibly have obtained a sight. There was not enough snow under the trees for him to follow the footprints, he therefore ran to the edge of the wood, and then to the road, in search of the man's track.
He must have gone before daylight, for the beds of vegetables and flowers were trampled down at random by deep footprints with long spaces between; there were marks of heels on the garden-wall and the mortar was crumbled slightly on top. The brother and sister went out on the road skirting the fortifications. There it was impossible to follow the footprints.
When dawn made it possible to do so effectively, the squaws began to whip out the trail of the six renegade Indians, and the chance footprints of those who bad gone ahead to leave the false trail for the white men to follow. Very painstakingly the squaws worked, and the young ones who could be trusted.
When I returned, my colleague was standing with his hands behind him, gazing with intense preoccupation at the footprints. He looked up sharply as we approached, and called out to us to keep off the path if possible. "Stay here with the machines, Willett," said he. "You and I, Jervis, must go and see where our friend went to when he left the path, and what was the burden that he picked up."
Monsieur Robert Darzac's footprints are also like the murderer's, and yet he is not the murderer!" The President turning to Madame Mathieu asked: "Is that in accordance with what you know occurred?" "Yes, Monsieur President," she replied, "it is as if Monsieur Rouletabille had been behind us." "Did you see the murderer running towards the end of the right wing?"
Before the close of the day they came upon traces of a numerous band traveling on the great trail between east and west, and they also found among them footprints that turned out. These Willet and Tayoga examined with the greatest care and interest and they lingered longest over a pair uncommonly long and slender. "I think they're his," the hunter finally said. "So do I," said the Onondaga.
"The Klootchman she came from the river. The man he carry her from the water in his arms." "How do you know that, Joe?" The Indian pointed to certain footprints which were much more deeply marked than the others. "The man he carry heavy weight when he make these, and the Klootchman she weigh, how much? One hundred and ten pounds, sure.
Yet it must have seemed a pretty sure thing that the station wouldn't be watched, and it's those nervy things, doing the obvious, that skilful criminals get away with all the time. I needed only one look at him, and I had the answer to the mystery of the footprints.
But when we return to our first proposition, that all religion in its origin, fundamental essence and ultimate purpose is not only one and the same, but is natural and common to all humanity; that its processes are a continual revelation in nature and human experience in man's continuous progress onward and upward in the scale of human attainment; and that the Bible, and all other literature of its kind, merely records a part of these processes and revelations in nature and experience, by which we are able to read the footprints of human progress in the past, and that these various writers, mostly unknown, merely recorded what they saw, felt, believed or understood at that time to be the truth; then all these difficulties of interpretation and sources of division vanish, and these books take on a new value and importance that they never otherwise attain.
