CHAPTER XLVIL Antonlus _tapped Mis sword and pointed at the entrance of the cave to make plain his meaning. The Arabian smiled brilliantly. With his sword im one hand and h dagger in the other, he went ljnzut"h the motions of combat. Indicating the soldier with his forefinger, he spoke rapidly to his followers. They nodded and rattled their weapons against the wall. “I wish T could talk to you men” Antonius said wistfully. ““You are fighters after my own heart. The day wore along, the women cooking over the fire and serving the men in groups. They were careful not to mix the dishes in which An- tonius and the Arabians were served with those used by the villagers. The . though, were fed as gener- the others. Aaron had withdrawn by himself to 1 distant portion of the cava and sat motionless, his ¢hin resting on iis knees, his hands lax om the floor be- side him. He had remained thus for two hours or more. Antonius’ curi- osity was aroused and he called to him. The old shepherd' arose and came to the soldier's side. “What troubles you?” asked. Aaron rested his weight upon his staff. “I mourn my sheep,” he sail wearily. ‘““When it became plain that I must flee I soid them to a trader, every one, and placed thex money in Eazra’s hands to' keep for ime. But, soldier, my heart' is heavyi I knew every ewe by name and had carrled every lamb in the bosom of my robe. When I departed from, their sight they bleated and ram to search for me. They knew my call from a di tance and came to me with joy. No man could imitate the call so that it deceived them. “They wandered with me across the mountains and took shelter with me from the hot sun in the shadow of the rocks. When the grass has heen dry and parched I have stripped leaves from the trees to feed them. Antonius I have dressed their injuries. They have been to me like children and, soldier, I love them—and have lost them."” His bosom heaved and two big tears trickled down his withered cheeks. Antonius, somewhat _astonished. sought to comfort hiny *‘You can buy more sheep,” he said, “when this trou- ble is over.” “None like those,” Aaron said gloomily. “They had been mine for 40 generations—a new brood each vear since I was a youth.” He rubbed his hand over his eves. “I took out my sling before dawn this morning, hoping to hit one of Herod's soldiers in revenge for my sheep, but Jared prayed me not to draw so near the village.” He sighed again. The soldler laughed over the singu- Jar outlet that Aaron had sought for his grief. “If your news is true, he sald, “you'll_ have a chance to use that sling. It is a deadly weapon in the hand of a man wko knows Its use.” He stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Have vou heard word, Aaron, of the Arabian woman—of Laila?" “Only this,” Aaron replied. “A man traveling toward the south said he ,had seen her in a village near Lake walking alone and mourn- (fully, her head cast down. He knew she had fled from Herod's wrath and asked if he could help her. But she only looked at him and walked on. She seemed to be in grief.” m Sorr the soldier sald. ““The wed woman is hard in ;and Laila, to make it worse, is an alien and an outcast. Yet I wish ithat she were here.” N “There are enough in the cave now,” sald Aaron. “To bring food lalready is a great task. It must be done secretly, and today I fear it can- not be done at all.” His surmise proved to be correct. L No messengers came from the village fand men sent from the cave returned to report that all paths into Jezreel and near it were barred. After a conference, a party of five went out from the cavern with orders to snare sparrows and doves for food. “I have seen some cranes and peli- cans and swans in the marshes and the rivers,” Antonius offered humor- ously. He was talking to Ezra. At the blank look on the latter’s face, he added: “I only meant to jest. I know they are not fit to eat.” “It is too bad, too,” said the little elder. “They are numerous enough and are fat."” Their discussion ended when the five hunters hastily re-entered. “Soldiers are moving across the mountain and we dare not stir!" cried eA Sauce for Cold Meat Yesterday’s roast is made appe- tizingly new today, served cold with Milani’s French Dressing.

Our store of food is small.” The men silently withdrew to the fire and sat around it without talking. In the farther end of the cave the women began to wail. The Arabian touched Antonius on the leg and looked at him inquiringly. ‘The soldier smiled grimly, touched his mouth, then his stomach and made a small circle of his thumb and fore- finger to indicate a tiny morsel. His companion nodded in understanding and spoke to his followers. They bowed and half automatically tightened the broad girdles that they wore about their walsts. The day passed and night came without further news. At dawn the women brought to An- tonius and the Arablans each a tiny scrap of bread. The men swallowed the bit phillosophically and, waving away the mouthful of wine that was offered them. drank water instead. At the end of the day Aaron told Antonlus that all the food was gone, “We ate too greedily when we first came,” he sald. Another night went by. Scouting partles that had gone out under cover of darkness reported that fires were burning at intervals clear across the mountain range and down $o the banks ordan far to the cast. n, who knew every gully and avery bit of underbrush on the heights, went at daylight, returning to say that Herod's men were searching the moun- tain methodically, foot by foot. “How soon may we expect them her Antonius asked. “There {s only one path to the cave,” the shepherd said, “and the beginning of it is concealed from view. Yet if they search long enough and IF YOU HAD A NEC AS LONG A8 THIS FELLOW AND HAD SORETHROAT TONSILINE The National Sore Throat Remedy SHOULD QUICKLY RELIEVE IT ALL DRUGGISTS “Isn't there another way to escape?” “Nonme. By struggling fram ledge to ledge in heavy underbrush it is possible to leave the cave by another route, but this leads anly to a bald summit, where we shall be seen. And the women and the weaker men can- not go that way. Even I can scarce accomplish it.” He went to the fire and with his staff scattered the logs. “The smoke creeps into view above,” he explained. “We must dwell here without heat untl the time comes for us to go." “We shall die,” Ezra groaned dis- mally, “We cannot live without food, and if we go out we shall be slain.” Jared touched the little elder on the arm. “Ezra, my good friend,” he said soberly, “you are brave, I know, when real danger threatens. Do not cry out now and alarm the women and | the men whose hearts are not bold.” One of his servants who had been keeping watch in the alcove came and whispered in his ear. “‘Strange!” muttered Jared.

A deep silence fell upon the listen- ing group, broken only by the moan- ing of the women. (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.)
