Serious Relsps~. -.
ST. PAUL, Nov. l9.-The hopes raised
by favorable bulletins regarding SEM
ator Davis condition that were sent
ont Saturday evening were rudsly
shattered by that issued during the
night. It now appears that the tenn
porary rally was but the precursor Of
q relapse. which leaves the senator in 4
very precarious condition. Tho most
ominous symptom is the return Of the
delirium, and from the general tone Of
the report, it looks a. though tho emu
cannot be far distant. -zs.s... L.

At break Of day next morning. Ma
marah, accompanied by her maidens.
dressed all In sad garments OF mourn
ing, passed through the streets OF Miz-
peh and wended their way toward the
mountains. and, as they passed along
behold the people came forth of their
houses to look upon them. and ever as
they saw the maidens. in their sack
cloth and ashes, men and women, and
even little children, lifted up their
voices and wept, for the vow that Jeph-
thah had vowed was known unto all
the people; also that the maiden Ma
marah was gone. according unto Gus
tom, to bewail upon the mountains
with the maidens. her companions.
And as the maidens walked with sad
and measured steps, the maiden Ma
marah walked ever at their head, her
stately height and noble form swathed
in sackcloth. And, although the hood
Of her mantle hid her face from view,
the people said she sobbed in passing,
because that they saw the fluttering
rise and fall of her breast beneath the
folds Of her gown. i
But Namarah was not weeping. Her
brow was calm and solemn, and her
great eyes serene as be stars. Her
vigil had made her pale as the ashes
wherewith she had sprinkled her. gar
ments, but the look of her face was
strong and confident, and ever she
whispered in the silence of her heart
"He will deliver"
As the town was left behind, and the
rugged mountain path up which they
were to wend their toilsome way was
come in view, Namarah paused. and
the maidens who followed, pausing
also, say her part the folds of her gar
ment and take therefrom the mes
senger-dove which had already served
so faithfully. She spake no word,
neither looked she to the right nor the
left, while all the maidens wondered.
but lifting it to her lips she gently
kissed 1t, then raising her arm above
her head she held 1t on her open palm.
giving 1t little impulse upward, at
which 1t spread its wings and flew,
with sure and steady fight backward
along the path that they had come.
Namarah stood and looked at 1t until
the whiteness Of its feathers was even
one with the whiteness of the clouds.
and then she turned about and began
to climb the mountain-path. her maid
ems following. Then were there tears
in her eyes. in that moment, which
overflowed and fell upon her cheek, but
no eye there was that saw them.

CHAPTER TX.

Then Namarah came again into his
arms, and while they clasped her close
with loves true tenderness, behold the
maiden began softly to weep. and said:
Il am even satisfied to die tonight,
knowing love like thine II die
and thou livest, I beseech thee that
thou wilt be even as son unto my
father Jephthah, for his heart is brok-
en- within him. and by reason of his
VOW he giveth up his only child"
THAT will I maiden" saith Adina;
and II so be that shall live and thou
diest, that will even be my work In
life. All, Namarah, my most holy and
most beauteous love. hast thou thought
upon the weariness and darkness of
the life that l will lead without thee,
even through youth and manhood and
old age?"
Yea. beloved. have thought of it,"
she answered-''be sure that I have
thought Of with a heart made wild
with anguish, and 1t seemeth unto me
that thy fat. Is even harder one than
mine. But now that we have spoken
OF these things. and thou knowest my
thoughts and wishes concerning thy
life, II thou are left to live it out with

let us even, SO far as in us lies, Danish

now, Adina, and let us pray this
prayer, even In the silence of our
hearts,"
And side by side. upon the grass be-
meath the white light of the moon, they
knelt together. hand in hand, and lifted
up their hearts. So still and silent was
the night that the little brook which
ran through the garden, down at the
foot OF the hill. could be heard gurg-
ling over Its stones, and the notes of
the doves In their house near by sound
ed mournfully and pleadingly in their
ears. The soft wind Of the summer
night played lightly over their bowed
heads, running Adina's golden curls and
blowing against his throat a long tress
Of Namarah's silky hair. Long time
they knelt there. their bodies touching
only in that close hand-clasp, but their
souls fused into one.
When they rose from their knees and
stood erect In the pale moonlight, both

fair white raiment, they turned and
