He shook and trembled as though citified Suddenly a laughing cry from Tisha as she returned to the arms of the sea captain made him in- toxicated with jealousy. He pushed his way through the throng. "I will cast dice with thee," he said unsteadily. Tole. and Nadine exchang- ed glances and nodded, while Merbel, who but a moment ago had refused to lend .Tetber a single shekel. looked at the boy in surprise, wondering where he had secured money with which to gamble. "Ab, Tether, throw thou," cried Put gladly, for he liked Jether, "for a thou- sand shekels." "For a thousand shekels, aye. But throw thou first" replied Jether. "I have drunk mucb, and my hand is un- steady." Put laughed, picked up tbe dice and threw them, The two squares of ivory rolled over and over and settled on their sides. "Seven," he cried, annoyed. ' Jether picked up the two dice. He drew hack es if to adjust his Cabe. He bold his bands out of sight behind the cloth for a moment and changed the dice He threw "Twelve." A cry of surprise at .tether's lucky throw came from all. "Tby money," demanded .letber nerv- ously. "Nay, thou sbalt not quit a winner Two thousand shekels," insisted Put. Jether picked up the two dice, quick- ly exchanged them for the honest ones and tossed the ivory squares to his friend Put. "Two thousand shekels, Throw thou," he said huskily. Put tossed the dice upon the table "Nine," he cried. Jether again picked up the dice, made the same substitution and threw the false dice upon the board. Once more there was a murmur or surprise over the result. "Twelve," spoke ,Tether exultantly "Thy money" "Nay, let us agaln double the stakes," cried Put, half angrily et the turn of fortune. "Four thottsaud shekels I will make it." "Agreed," replied Jether. "hour thorn• sand shekels." He was about to throw with the false dice when be felt his AM gripped ns in a vise. He turned. Merbel, the false friend who had intended to bor- row and had put it off until too late, held his arm and seized the dice from his nerveless augers. "One moment, friends," he cried. "Wait and see. Look!" He tossed the dice upon the table. "Twelve," he said sternly, looking at Jether, who hung his head in shame as be felt the luevitable exposure. "Again it is twelve—once more twelve. Thou wilt find itis always twelve." Slowly Put reached 8091018 the table. 11e picked up tbe false slice and threw. "Twelve," he whispered In surprise, Again he tried. "Twelve, always twelve." The men drew aside from Jether, leaving him as one stricken with the piaague. "A cheat!" cried Merbel. "Thou wouldst cheat my good friend Putt 1 spit upon thee," be added eontemptu- nasry, Put leaned across the table in amnae- meat, unable to realize that Jether, the wealthy spendthrift :father, could real- ty be a common cheat and play with false dice, "I always liked thee, Jether.

"How many here uow will claim thee as a friend," she cried—"thou who didst think to win my love by robbery of thy friends, thou who for a kiss t gave in sport bath done dis- honor to thy father's God? Oh, it was sport, rare sport, to see thee lay thy heart in the dust before me and to see thee beg for what bolder mea would take!" She threw a triumphant and loving F1nnt'e at the giant sea captain, "Now back to thy dogs and sheep!" she added shrilly. "But first take thy last look on Tisha"—she leered, lean- ing over to him—"and take Tisba's last kiss!" With a cry of rage Jether sprang to his feet and would have struelt her as the temptress thrust her saucy face toward hila, but she was too quick and agile, in an instant she cowered be- tween the sbeltm•[ng arms of the giant sea captain.
