H “If you move, you die!” he thundered. | _Behind him the other occupants of the room started awake, gasping. The figure in the doorway spread its arms. “Peace be with you." It was a deep, quiet voice. “I am ron, the | shepherd, and I come as a friend.” The soldier dropped his arm. A sigh of relief arose from the women and the two manservants in the dark interlor of the house. | “I bring news of Jared,” continucd | the shepherd. He stepped into the room. “Who are these people whom I see behind von?" he asked. “Jared's family Antonius said The occupants of the house could see Aaron, dimly, as he leaned upon | his Jong staff. “Jared was arrested upon false charges,” the shepherd said. An exclted babble arose from Maryam, her mother and the serv- tants. “Peace!” shouted the soldier. “Keep quiet, fools, so I can hear what the shepherd has to tell.” The chatter subsided, and Aaron went on: “Word travels fast in Galilee, and this tale has just come: Herod 'the Tetrarch has been told that the Parthians and Arabians plan a great raid om Galilee, and that they intend to take him away a prisoner. He also has been told that Jared ac- companied a party of Arabians as far as the Jordan, and that he is in their confidence. “He was arrested on the charge of stealing the brass trays he sold yesterday—but he is to be brought before Herod for treason.” A Dblank silence followed these words. Then the voices of the women ar wailing. 3 ilence!” Antonius roared. ‘‘Peace! Must we have this foolish weeping when there are things to be done?” He lay qulet for a time. as the noise of the women subsided into clicking sobs. | “Aaron,” he sald, “you have done {well to tell me.

He will be guilty and executed unless | something is done.” ryam's mother xirl sought to quiet her, la. said Antonfus, reflectively, I know he is not guilty.and—" he turned his head toward the women. “Peace!” he ordered again. “If he could be brought before the courts of the Jews, he would escape,” sald_Aaron, hopefully. “Herod will not send him before the Sanhedrin,” said Antonius. ‘“‘He | will sit as judge himself—and condemn him. I cannot go to give testimony.” He stopped again. “Can I bear any word for you?” asked the shepherd. Antonius waited a moment before he replied. “Yes,” he sald. “‘Discover Omar, who calls himself the Persian. He left Jezreel niuny hours ago. I do not know which way he marched, but he must be found. If you cannot_find him, find my comrades. the soldiers. for they rescued Jared and me from the Arabians. But hasten—if you delay too long, Jared will be tortured and executed.” The women, in the blackness of the inner room, were moaning now, in grief and terror. “I wish,” sald the soldier, { patiently, “that 1 had left you vour house.

B —but to no one else” Antonius said. “There are too many spies and informers abroad in Galilee to talk freely of such thing as this.” “1 wanted to ask Ezra to give us aid,” the shepherd said. “He can send his servants in each direction.

Maryam, muffied in her mantle, slipped out the door, and soon re- turned with a coal of fire from her home. The servants brought dried grasses and twigs from Laila's store behind the house, and soon they had a fire burning upon the floor, the smoke finding its way through an aperture in the roof. Without waiting for orders, the women heated food over the fire, and offered it to Antonius. “An excellent thought,” he approved, “I am hungry from watching.” They served him, and waited until he had finished eating before they took any of the food themselves. Then, crouched beside the little fire, they ate, and talked of the danger in_which’ Jared lay. The circle of men and women still was awake when daylight came. “Shall we go to our own home? asked Maryam, after the women had rolled up their beds. tay here,” Antonius directed. “When a_man is arrested on such a Those Old and servants,” shricked.

The soldier laughed. “They’ll not take you,” he said. “I shall not sleep again until you are safer than you are now."” He settled back among his cushions. One of the manservants was dis- patched for furniture from Jared's house, and hangings. By noontime, the shabby dwelling in which Laila had made her home was converted into a sightly place, so far as the in- terfor was concerned. The women fed Antonius from time to time, and hovered about him { with great solicitude. he said. “I ought to set with a wife or two and some slaves.” He glanced about the room with satisfaction. “It is pleasant to be waited upon, and served with meals each hour, and drink cach half-hour.” In the course of the morning he had shaved himself with a razor brought by one of Jared's men, and occasionally he inspected himself in a silver mirror. g “I am becoming pale by lying in- doors,” he sald to Marvam. “Soon I shall look like a patrician, who travels under a canopy and never faces the sun except in war.” “It must be a grievous thing,” the girl sald, thoughtfully, “to dwell in a land where all the men look {ll. “[1” he ecried, indignantly. “The men of Rome are said to be the most T think up a_ household, PAINTS & GLASS 1334 N.

It may be that he will not come again.” She went on with her work of decorating the walls with bright- colored fabric, and arranging_ tables and deep couches along the walls.

Once or twice she fancied that she caught an echo of distant thunder—the almost-forgotten voice of the stern God of her puritanical fathers. Then one night, the strident voice which made her dart blindly from the stage—and the unimaginable tragedy that drove her forth from a horrifying world of unrealities. ) Fleeing from what?

ARE FoReIiGN MISSIONARIES SaNTs OR Busy -Bopies? By Charles A.Selden Just what sort of people are these foreign missionaries— saints or busy-bodies; self-seeking intriguers or pioneers of a new era for down-trodden millions? To get the an- swer to this question—the real answer, not the answer of the globe-trotting, fox-trotting tourists, or the com. mercial foreign resident intent on exploitation — Mr. Selden travelled thirty thousand miles and interviewed three hundred experts of almost every race and creed. His illumin. ating findings are set forth in a series of articles, the first of which ap- pears in the November issue of The Journal, now on sale, ten cents. SEX AND NICOTINE By 8.
