56,000,000 IN RUM 1S SEIZED, 19HELD Hi-Jackers’ Bathtub Party Leads to Raid on One of Biggest Warehouses. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 5.—Six million dollars’ worth of liquor was in Ppossession of prohibition agents today in what is sald-to be the largest hond- ed warehouse in America, and 19 men, not connected with the warehouse, were under indictment as marine boot- leggers and hi-jackers, who champagne bathtub party while a Coast Guard destroyer chased thefr vessel. The warehouse, owned by the Keap Warehouse, Inc., was selzed yesterday by men under Prohibition Adminis- trator Chester P. Mills, who sald he had information the liquor was not being handled in accordance with the law. About two weeks ago 23 barrels of medicinal whisky were stolen from the warehouse by robbers, who shot and wounded a policeman in making their escape. The warehouse con- tains 6,000 barrels of whisky. Mr. Mills said he expected to test and regauge all of the liquor. The story the champagne bath- tub party was revealed in Court when Walter Weider was ar- ralgned. Two indictments alleged that the schooner Elma took aboard 4,190 cases of liquor last May f enother ship off Cape Hatter: jackers planted in the crew, charged, then seized the ship, locked up the officers and proceeded to emu- late a famous Broadway bathtub arty, with a grizzled hi-jacker in a londe wig taking the part of the chorus girl. The party was in prog- ress when the Coast Guard destroyer Manning overtook the Elma, the in- dictments declare. S T. 8. Envoy Goes to Nicaragua. Arthur H.

CHAPTER XXV. ‘The messenger was one of the serv- ants of Ezra’s household. Panting, and pale from a run of many miles, he bowed before the soldier and gave his message. | Jared had been taken to Tiberias, had been seen in Bethshean, and Aaron, the shepherd, was in search of him there. Antonius’ comrades | were marching toward the sea, and | Ezra himself was in pursuit of them. “And,” said the servant, “it is said that Herod himself awaits the coming of Jared, with an executioner, who will put him to the torture.” Maryam leaned against the wall, her face buried in her arms. Her mother rocked from side to side, her eyes dry, her cheeks and lips white. The servants wailed, but Antonius impa- tiently motioned them to be silent. “My leg!” he growled. “By Jupiter, it my leg were only healed for this one night.” He poured a cup of wine and handed it to Ezra’s messenger. “Or, added, “if only Omar could be_found!” The servant drained the cup and set “The Arabian woman is in Bethshean,” he said, casually. ‘“She was seen in the crowd when Jacob the publican was thrust into prison there.” “In_ Bethshean!” said Antonius, thoughtfully. “Laila is resourceful, and- ' He turned sharply to Maryam. “Girl,” he sald, “you are strong and swift of foot.” The girl disclosed her tear.stained face. *“What does my lord wish?" she asked. “Get you a beast to ride upon, and hasten to Bethshean; inquire where Laila lodges; tell her what has be- fallen your father and bid her take ment nfficials.

I e “But there are robbers abroad,” she idly, “and night is falling, “‘So you'd rather let your father ' he finished for her. The girl threw out her hands. Oh, no! No! No!" She spoke to one of her father's servants, and the man ran out the door. “I forgot myself,” she sald to An- tonius. “I would proudly dle to save my father.” Her manner became en- treating. “You will forgive a poor I have not been used to danger, and I only faltered for a moment.” He answered dryly: Do not falter again tonight—or by tomorrow’s sun- set they will have taken your father's flesh from him, bit by bit She cov ears with her hands, and tears coursed down her cheeks. It was only a few moments until the servant came back with a donkey that had been tethered in the sheep corral behind Jared's house. Maryam mounted the animal, and, with no fur- ther word, departed, beating the little beast with a stick to urge him to an unaccustomed speed. Ezra's servant also went his way. “Such messengers to deal with!” Antonius grumbled, half to himself, as he eettled his cushions for an- other night's vigil. “A whining girl and a servant who shakes and trem- bles over a 10-mile run " He laid his sword carefully down a fold of his coverlet, and concluded, with a short laugh—*"and a soldier who can’t move one leg." ‘The road between Jezreel and Beth- shean wound around a flank of the mountain, and was deep with mud from the Winter rains. When Maryam returned to the house where her mother and Antonius waited the next day was well advanced. She drew up the donkey before the door. “Well?" barked the scldier.

"usua has—recelved—your message, and—-" She drooped and fell to the ground. Two of the maids of her father’s household ran and picked her up. Her garments, and even her face, were plastered with mire. ‘The donkey, his flanks quivering and soaked with perspiration, turned his head to look at the inert bundle that the servants lifted, his ears pricked until the points of them nearly touched. Then, with a toss of his head, he turned and plodded toward the familiar corral. “A good animal,” Antonius said. He watched the women working over the unconscious Maryam. ‘“Let her lie,” he sald, unconcernedly. ‘“Her mission is done for this time, anyway. She will recover presently and tell us_more about it.” The girl's eyes opened soon, but immediately closed in heavy slumber. “First she faints, then she goes to sleep!” commented Antonius. “Wom- en_are of soft stuff.” i Maryam’'s mother did not answer him, but hovered over her daughter, bathing her face with cold water and chafing the limp, cold wrists. Antonius already had breakfasted, and he whiled away the next ho in shaving himseif. When this W done he watched the sleeping girl for a time, “Wake her up!’ he said at last. The mother hesitated. Antonius reached for an earthen pot that had contalned meat and tossed it toward the slumbering Maryam. The vessel landed on her chest with a thump. She sat up and looked about her. ““What- * she began in bewilder- ment. “Father—" She pressed her hands to her face a moment. “I am hurt.” She felt of her| bosom where the pot had landed. 1l “That didn't hui Antonius snld.l “Wake up and tell us what occurred | in_Bethshean.” The girl rubbed her temples and slowly arose. “Bethshean?’ she asked vaguely. ‘‘Bethshean?” Then her eyes widened, and she gasped. “Oh, I had forgotten!” She sank back on the couch again and her lips quivered. “Don't weep now,” commanded the | soldier. ‘Tell me what happened: last night.” The girl obeyed, speaking at first wear or at the ball match or for all nal social occasions, Gude's nthemums are the sea- W %‘ e W BROS.

So he took word to his kindred, who were in bed and asleep, and they aroused themselves and went forth, and before two hours had passed they led Lalla to me.” “What did she say?” asked An- tonfus.

"You people have no life—no spirit,” he went on. “This girl who lies asleep here”—he jerked his thumb Maryam—*“is worth all of you put together, twice over. And Laila’ he smiled at the recollection—“she at | 5, 1926. would as happily knife me as give me food. A spirited woman.” He lapsed into contemplation. Toward evening another servant from Ezra's household appeared to report the faiflure of his own mission. He had been sent southward. “Go and sleep,” Antonius sald. Maryam by this time had awak- ened and was directing the malds in their preparation of a full meal. “I shall be unclean, my lord,” she said, unhappily, “for having been in this house and eaten with a Gentile.” |/ “I know,” the soldier answered. “I've heard of the strict rules of the Jews. But it's better to be unclean than in_ prison.” She sighed. “My lord does not un- derstand,” she said. “But when my father returns we all shall be cleansed.” Antonius raised himself on his el- bow, and stared. “Returns?”’ he cried. “Do you think your her may return?” “Why not?” she asked. “If he Is set free he will return.” - Antonius laughed, shortly: “Girl, he said, “if vour father gains his freedom, it must be by bribery or vio- nd he never will return so s Herod reigns!” “(Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.)
