: Poor fellows, I'm sorry for them.
Sorry for whom?
The six new ones, ! mean,
Boys, I've been along thar, and thar
amt g stump along that path what's not
got my toe marks on It.
About the 7th hour OF the 14th day OF
the month Sept temper q cariyan OF Amale-
kites, clad in strange yestments, carrying
staYes IN their hands and horse muzzles
on their faces, passed throughout the
length and breadth OF the land OF Judea,
and set them down upon the grazing lands
of one John whose surname ls Cromer,
whose dwelling is near unto the going out
Of the street which is called Jerusalem;
and they did call loudly unto the dwellers
in the land saying, IF so be that there be
any among you SO hardy as to come out
and contend with us for the mastery;
let them come, and We will put them be-
meath our feet"
And when they bad thus boasHully dis
ported themselves for time, certain OF
the Jews, nine in number. throwing OF
their mantles, girding up their lclns and
putting of their sandels, went out to
them, Saying: .Oh, ye Amalektes. We
have seen thy strange devices with our
eyes and with our ears have We heard thy
boashngs."
aKnow that we, have consulted among
ourselves. and are come out to contend
with you after whatsoever manner you
may desire" ~
Whereupon, the Captain Of the Amale-
kites did station guard at the three cor
ners of plot Of ground so cubits long
and 80 cubits broad, and near unto the
centre did be place one OF the men who
held in his hand a ball. Facing this man
and behind the last corner stood the horse
muzzle, from which, strange TO say, hung
the aims and legs OF man. In and
around the plot were stationed Gthers
of those who came with hum.
Which, when he had done, he ened IN
loud voice: Oh, ye Jews! place ye man
on the vacant corner OF the plot, place IN
his hand a steve, and let him try bus
cunning against the cunning OF. the
man before him. Then spoke the
captain Of the Jews to one OF the men,
saying: aYe have heard. Whatsoever he
sayeth unto you, that do ye.
Then the man-whieh was one OF the
Jews, Joseph by ame-taking the staVe,
stood on the corner.
ssUpon which, the Amalekite threw with
all his might the ball at the Jew, seeing
which the Jew struck like unto an lrate
father when he chastizeth his son, and
striking the ball threw it to the ground
with great force, many cubits off. Seeing
which, he straightway ran to take the
guards on the corners OF the plot. :.
Now the plot was guarded alternately
by one time by the Amalekites and an
other by the Jews to the end OF the con-
test. 5
And now, when they had made an end
Of stirring the Captain of the Jews spoke
unto the Captain of the Amalehtes, say
ing: aWhat think ye now, O Captain OF
the Amalekitesg -
Whereupon, the Captain OF the Amale-
Kites and they which were with him did
rand their clothes and did fall upon the
ground; throwing dust upon their heads,
crying: aIn: the soup! In the soup!p
And behold, when the maidens, which
had come from the land Of Amalek, saw
that their strong men did bow them in the
dust before the Jews, they did laugh at
them and deride them, saying: $50 play
With the children. ride calf-back and tarry
IN jericho tilI your boards be grown"
Where, now. is your boasted strength?
where is your speed2 Gesthee hence, for
We Will have none of you.
We will dwell in Judah and their people
shall be our people.
