rich of Kolomea at the house Of Kad-

After the marriage broker had per-
formed his share Of the duty and when
he was sure, that his proposition would
be gladly entertained, he asked for the
hand Of one Of Feuerstine's daughters
for his son Eliam In this he met with
success; but Feuerstlne, who, although
he dressed in Jewish styl and lived up
strictly to each and every command Of
the Talmud, was nevertheless some

that it would be essential for the

the key to my curious theory.
My home was in close proximity to
the only church in town, massive stone
structure with steeples and towers of
lofty height, and although the strict
rules of the Synagogue forbade me to
visit the interior of the church during
worship, I still found opportunities to
ascertain that the auditory was very
pleasantly and comfortably arranged.
On many occasions I observed the
slow and solemn pace of the church

way, men and boys lifting their hats at
the entrance, and all, ladies and gentle.

To see this woman unveiled, was no less
a pleasure, than to behold the beautiful

the table. Eliam offered a blessing
When he had finished, he called out
suddenly, nearly frightened: "Afra, you
did not cut your hair short =
To what purpose?' answered she
dryly," an intelligent women will not
suffer herself to be thus disfgured"
But the Lord commanded Moses,
that a woman who is about to be mar
ried mustcut her hair short
And if that Should be the edict of
Moses, it is nevertheless of very little
consequence to the safety Of our souls,
A woman can be as bad with short hair
as the can be virtuous while is it long
But where will you find such a com
mand of Moses ? In the Thora p
Who the n contends, that Moses has
written the Thora ?' retorted Afra.

Moses did not write the Thora, CON
tinued the beautiful young woman, lea
ming back in her chair, and crossing her
arms over her gently heaying bosom.
Moses could not have written the
Thora, for the 5. book, II. Chpt. tells of
the death or Moses and you will at least
concede, that no human being, not euen
Moses, could give a description of his
own death, and in the same Ch. Verse 7C
it reads: And there never arose another
prophet in Israel, like Moses this also
Moses could not himself have written,
consequently, one Of his successors must
have written it.

nonplused. The words died upon his

Eliam turned crimson and again pale,
he felt ashamed of being unable to an
swer Afla and the more so as, at the
moment her beauty bewitching him, he
had only the thought, this woman does
indeed deserve to be loved.
But the dinner is getting cold, said
Afra.-Eliam said not word, but sit
ting down opposite to her, they finished
their meal.
When this was over, Afra rose and
took Il seat near the window Eliam
viewed her with awe. He left his place
trying to approach her, but it seemed as
if his feet were glued to the floor
Good night!' said she at last and re-
tired to her room. He did not dare to
kiss her, much less felt he encouraged
to follow her. Subdued by woman,
confounded to the utmost, he sat long
while before the opened book Of the
Talmud, but not a look did he give
to the large volume bound in leather;
his only thought was Of his wife,
while she in her room enjoyed a hearty
laugh at his expense.
The next morning at breakfast when
Afra's delicate little hand accidently
touched his own, while she was helping
herself to some sugar, Eliam blushed
like a maiden. The young woman was
evidently much pleased, but she was not
yet fully contented. Having slipped
her coffee, she stepped before the mir
ror, to arrange her luxurious hair and
with great satisfaction she observed,
that he had eyes only for her. Smiling
proudly she said Il am going to town,
to make some purchases. DO you
desire me to accompany you?' quickly
inquired her husband What for?" she
angrily rejoined Il do not intend to
rob you of your yeilod beauty. He
stared aghast, while her beautiful face
flushed with triumph. At that moment
