putsd babe. With bowed head the pre-
tended mother, standing awaits the execu-
toner as no swings the lated child In readi-
ness 10 cleave IL in twain with his Keen
edged sword: while the true mother, her
heart rent with maternal anguish, throws
herself at his feet and stays the bloody
hand which would have made her childless
The story OF the judgment is briefly
told. Two women came before the
king, each calming that she babe was born
To her and that the others had died in the
night, as they were together and none save
those two in the house at the
time. Then said tue king,
"the one saith this Is my son that liveth
and thy son ia dead; ara the other satin
nav, but thy son is dead and mine is livinr.
Thereupon he ordered him a sword to OIL
vide the living child in two. when spske
the true mother, my lord, give her tue
living child aud In no wise slay IT," But
the other said, "let it neither be mine nor
thine, but divide it, Then the king an.
swered, give her the living child and
in no wise clay IL; she is the mother
thereof"

The whale story, in which Jonah took
pretty prominent part, is presented on this
car. Just exactly whether the sketch shows
