Tishri clapped her hands thrice, whereupon four dusky Nubian slaves brought big baskets of fruit and muds ions for the ladies. Refreshments were served, wine flowed freely, and there was much laughter, "Now, here's a fortunate youth," cried Tole, raising his goblet on higb and drinking a health of Jether.

As Tisha, clasped in the arms of Jether, toyed with the scarf he wore, Ahab, the servant of Put, who bad been waiting without the gate, approached "Thy pardon, good master," bowed Ahab, prostrating himself before Je- ther. "Amaiden at the gate asks tid- ings of Master tether:" "A maiden asks for me? Who is she?" demanded Jetber, curiously. "I know not." "Row doth she took?" "As one a stranger to the city, all clad in simple white, with leathern san- dals. She draws her veil before her face and says. 'Caust tell me, my good man, how faretb Master tether?"' As Tisha started to raise as If to see the stranger, Jether held her by the arm. Tasha paused and smiled, "Wears she many jewels?" she demanded. "Nay, good mistress, none." "Then bid her come in," ordered Tisha triumphantly. No need to fear this rival if sbe ware indeed s0 plain and unadorned. Struck by a sudden thought, she laughed nod tyre the scarf from Jether's neck. Then as be tried to recover it she ran round and round the garden, laughing hilariously as she waved the scarf in her hands, circling We edge of the fountain, leap- ing over lovers in their wowing and ail the time unrated by the laughing Jetber, wbo wished to regain the scarf. Just as they circled the fountain for the second time and passed the gate- way a slender, girlish figure in simple white, with veil drawn before her face, passed them. She gave a sharp cry of pairs as she beheld the fluttering scarf in the hands of Tisba, with ,lecher laughingly pursuing her. She paused and tulved to Ahab. "Who is she, so strange, so fair?" she cried, tremulously. Allah bowed low at the mention of the wonderful Tisha. "Tbe joy of all Jeresnlem-the most beautiful. the must superb Tisba, whom all mea worship•-Tisba. the beautiful. By wbat name shall 1 au - flounce you?" "Ily name? Naomi" -the girl hesi- tated.

As Jether, his eyes hair silted with tears for a cause he knew not, again wound the scarf around his neck Tisha stole up behind him and asked. "What dost then see?" "Nothing -a sudden thought." he re- plied softly, "a memory drilling on the waves of wine. Perohanre I seem- ed to see a maiden I kuew among the hills et home. Who was she? 1 won- der was it all but a dream. or did I scs Naomi standing here amid all the wickedness of Jerusalem? Naomi -1 wonder." Tisha climbed upon a cushioned di- van, raised a goblet of wine far above her head, ere she drank, and cried, "This night is dedicated to love." Au answering chorus of approval gave a mighty echo, and Tisha leaned over Tether and kissed hen. "Put" she suddenly called, "where art the boasted dancing girls? We would bare entertainment, music, wine and dance." Put clapped his hands thrice and gave a elgual to Ahab, who motioned to one of the Nubians. Within the house the sound of music now grew louder and louder, as the musicians thrummed their harps end clashed the cymbals. The soft voices of lovers were drowned Iry tbe crash of the musical Instruments and the Wallin. ming of the harp strings. Then t1th. in the gate glided half a hundred or more dancing houris, fait' of face, bare- foot, clad in soft and Flowing garmeets which were scant, yet picturesque, dla- playing many bare limbs and ivory shoulders. Round and round they whirled, wtlile Pot and the wealthy young men of Jerusalem gazed ndmir- 'ugly and appiauded at Intervals. Fest- er and faster grew the dance as with one accord the young Women fared the statue of the iiabyloulan Ishtar. and finally in an ecstasy or adoration all cast themselves prostrate upon the ground before the Image. Then the music changed. A weird. tuystle, bar- baric note swept through the air. The leader of the dancers rose and Clapped Icer heeds.

To come to thy feast in better raiment 1 had to promise payment for this mantle." Jether, with a careless laugh• banded him a hundred shekels in gold, where- at Tisha frowned, ylerbel, with a low obeisance, took the money and cried, ";'clay ,!ether's ehilalreu reigns as kings of Israel!"

",1 doom upon this !louse;" thundered the holy man, raising bis staff as though to smite all present, "Noe unto ye who revel here! idolaters, laden with iniquity, the sward of the Lord is turned against you." Tisha broke the spell with a coarse, hard laugh of derision, "A prophet?" she cried. "Pe fools, to listen to such a madman. I know this man, a mender of uets gone mad from starvation. Baring him wine, slaves, and he will not curse us then" But the holy man frownecl as be fair- ly pronounced their doom: "The sword of the Lord is tilled with blood, for it is the day of his venge- auce.

The revelers ceased their riot- ous behavior.
