CHAPTER vi.


Now when the sun began to sink
toward the west, Namarah called 10
her maidens, and arrayed herself in
garments richly wrought and beauti-
full, as one hat keepeth a great feast.
Her robe was all of white, embrOid-
cred with gold, and the encrusted folds
fell heavily about the splendid curves
of her most noble figure. In her loos-
ened hair were twisted chains OF gold
that wrapped it in and ont, and made
a light and darkness beautiful to see.
About her shoulders, which her robe
left bare, she wrapped a scarf OF
golden tissue, through which her
cleaning neck and arms shone fair as
moonlight seen through sunbeams.
And when the maidens and all the
household of Jephthah wondered to see
her so adorned, she spake, and said
unto them:
II go to meet my father Jephthah
and his host returning from victory"
And when they asked her:
How knowest thou that he hath
won the day, and is returning?"
She made answer, as the saying was:
"A little bird hath told me-"
And they knew not how true indeed
were the words she spake.
And as the sun sank lower and lower
and 1t began to draw toward evening,
behold. there fell upon the ears OF Ma
marah and her maidens the distant
sound Of tramping horses and anon
the notes OF a trumpet.
They be notes OF victory: even as
thou hast said" spake one of the maid
ems, while Namarah stood and listened,
breathless and half troubled, like an
image OF too perfect joy. And Mama
rah said:
81 will even go forth to meet them"
Whereat her maidens wondered, for
IL was her custom to await her father
within the house, a feeling Of timidity
ever preventing her from appearing
before the eyes OF the soldiers. But
now there showed in all her bearing
a very noble pride, so that she looked
no longer a shy and trembling maiden,
but a woman and the daughter OF a
~conqueror. There was a most rich
hue OF roses on her cheeks, and her
great eyes blazed and sparkled, so that
Namarah looked that day a being OF
such glorious beauty as none who
looked IN her had ever seen before.

and avowed that I have found favvs
in his eyes. The white bird will bear
to thee those tidings, and before set
Of sun we shall be with thee. God
grant to me, o maiden, that thy heart
may reach forth to mine with the same
love wherewith I feel mine reach to
thee, as I write these lines, to be held
in thy dear hands beneath thy dear
eyes. THY ADlNA.'
Now, as the maiden Namarah read
these words, there rose within her so
great a rapture that her very face did
glow and become radiant with JOY.
For until her eyes had rested on tho
young man Adina. she had known not
what IL was to feel the mighty o
wherewith a tender virgin loveth, with
her soul and heart at once, the youth
whose nobleness and virtue command
her worship and devotion, and the ex-
ceeding joy of this moment wrapped
her soul in n great wave OK ecstasy.
that make the shining Of her eyes Ike
unto the light of stars. To feel that
Adina loved her, he who was unto her
eyes the very prince Of men, and that
her well-beloved father looked with
favor on their union was a bliss so
great, that almost she felt as IL her
heart within her must burst for very
Joy. AS she sat in her chamber alone.
and read again and yet again the pre-
cious message that the bird had
brought, such visions as ever fill the
minds OF maidens when love is ONE
in truth passed like pictures before
her. She saw herself meeting with
Adina without the need of concealment
and she felt again those arms about
her and those kisses on her lips, at the
mere memory Of which she thrilled.
She saw the calm delight upon her be-
loved fathers face, as he blessed her
union with Adina, and gazing further
yet into the future, she saw herself
the happy wife and mother.
