CHAPTER XII.


Even before the coming Of the time
appointed, just as the moon was COM
ing up behind the distant horizon.
Adina made his silent way into the
garden of Jephthah's house, and stood
and waited. The hour Of moonrise was
Just what It had been two months be-
fore, on the night Of their parting here,
and in his ears were the same sounds
of the babbling brook and Of the doves
in their house near by. Up and down
the young man paced, his thumbs
thrust into the belt wherewith his
white tunic was held in place, and his
whole body tense and strained with the
mightiness Of his hardly mastered ex-
element. A light glimmered in the
room Of Jephthah. and on this he kept
his gaze, until presently 1t became in a
moment softly shaded, as II to screen
the eyes OF one who slept. Namarah,
indeed, had soothed her father into a
gentle slumber, and when II was known
unto her that he slept she stepped forth
into the garden.
She had even refreshed her from her
Journey and clothed herself in snow
white garments, perfumed with myrrh
and f%rankincense, in which she moved
softly down the garden walks to meet
him whom her soul did love. The
grasses OF summer bent beneath the
soft pressure of her feet, and the vines
divided themselves at the light touches
of her hands. The trees above her were
as the wall of her temple of love. and
the moon pierced through to light 1t.
Adina stood and waited in the spot
made sacred to them by the early
dawnings, as well as by the fruition of
their love; and as the maiden, fair and
white as IL made Of the rays Of the
moonlight, moved softly toward him,
he stretched out his two arms. She
came to them with full gladness and
assurance, as n OF her white doves,
after long wandering, cometh home.
And Adina spake no word; only he
drew her to him, as though he would
never lose her again. AS she rested
so, feeling against her heart the full
throb of his, while that his close clasp
frightened and his breath came quick, ii
seemed to her a moment OF such rap
ture that the thought of her heart came
forth in words, as she said, on the
breath of a low-drawn sigh:
II would that | could die even now!'
And Adina answered:
"And / with thee, that our souls
together might return to God who gave
them"
1T is most sure" said Namarah
earnestly. at may not be such as We
would choose or look for; but He haiti
heard that prayer of mine and thine

In about three hours he had sighted

Hendrick let the reins drop on his
horses neck and proceeded at a walk
ing pace. 1t was a calm, still even
ing, and the horses hoofs made no
sound on the soft sand.
Reaching the orchard the sound OF
voices fell upon his ear, and almost
mechanically he stopped his horse and
listened. 1t was the voice of Nancy

Yes. Paul was right; she was stand

her head upon his shoulder and her
lips u%pturned to his.

change. Since | left you It has lived
on the memory OF those sweet hours
of delirlous happiness when we USED
to sit together in the sunshine anC
plan the joyful future-when we two
shall be always together"
The man on the horse heard the
words that pierced his heart like thu
stab of a dagger. For some moment,
he sat like a statue, his face grim anC
set, and his eyes staring into blank
ness. The steed moved forward OF III
own accord and wandered on for up
wards of an hour. while it's rider 81
wrestling with himself. Then, with
sigh and a sob that almost choked hin
he gathered up the reins and one
more turned towards John Martin

Hosv TO Build Good Roads.

The way to build good roads is to
build them. We have been discussing
plans and methods for a hundred
years. The problem doomed large be-
fore the fathers of the republic. In
1906, when the first steps were taken
for the construction of the old national
road from Cumberland westward, good
wagon roads were to the country then
what railroads are to the couRtry now.
There was necessity for a road be-
tween the East and the West, and it
was built. The government and the
people were interested and the ques-
ton was grappled with in the right
way. The National road in Maryland,
Ohio and Indiana remains to this day
one of the best roads in any of the
states named. The beginning, there
fore, was a good one. The method has
not been greatly improved since. The
success in that one case was in the
spirit in which the work was planned
and the thoroughness with which the
plans were carried out.
