wondrous light was gone from them:
for their spirits had fed together, and
the glare OF sunshine upon them re-
vealed that they were even the faces of
the dead.
And it was even so that God deliv-
cred them. This was His time and
place, and He had chosen His own way.
And that the vow which Jephthah had
vowed might be accomplished, the
body of the maiden Namarah was laid
upon the altar and with it the body Of
the young man Adina, a burnt offering
unto the Lord.
And as the fires upon the altar be-
gan to sink, an object that seemed to
fall straight from out the sky dropped
down and fell into the flames; and 10!
it was the body of snow-white dove,
which had been even dead before 1t
touched the fire upon the altar.

The Origin Of Trusts.

Centuries ago, when the individual
found that his business was growing
too large for him to handle, he took a
partner. They formed a trust in a
small degree. Fifty years ago, the
partnership form Of business began to
give way to the small corporation, as
business men found that corporation
afforded better facilities and protection
to their business. More recently cor
porations grew in size until we have
experienced the very large surpora-
tons called trusts. In nearly every
case these are neither more nor less
than partnerships, the only difference
being in extent and degree. The in
crease in the worlds volume of bust
ness has compelled the growth from
the original partnerships to large cor
poraticns.

l,s CHAPTER XI.-(Continued.)
And when Namarah and her maid
ems reached the house of Jephthah, be-
hold it was hung with mourning, and
though the doors were wide, there was
neither friend nor servant to be seen.
SO Namarah entered silently, and took
her way toward the apartment of her
father Jephthah; and as she came unto
his door, she turned and spake unto
the maidens, bidding them stay with
out in the hall while she went in alone.
And as she thrust open the door and
came into the presence of her father
Jephthah, behold he to was dressed in
mourning garments, and he leaned
upon the breast of the young man
Adina, who was also clad in sackcloth;
and the faces of both men were white
as BIO the faces of the dead; and Adina
had grown gaunt and hollow-cheeked
and lost his ruddy color, while
her father Jephthah was as one grown
old before his time.
And Namarah spake no word, but
shutting close the door behind her, she
went and put her arms about the neck
Of her father, but her eyes she gave
unto her lover.
Her hood had fallen backward, and
her white face rose from out its SOL
emn mourning draperies as a fair
flower springing out of earth; and her
eyes, made large and luminous through
Hastings and vigils, seemed as the very
windows Of her spirit; and in their
depth Adina read love unspeakable,
unquenchable and not to be surpassed.
He understood her tender thought in
clasping first her father before her
touch sought his, for it was by reason
of her father that this blow was come
upon them, and she felt he had great
need of comfort and the assurance of
her deep, unchanged affection; but in
that long, deep look into her lovers
eyes, she gave him her whole self. For
moment they rested in that look,
quiet and calm as the deeps of ocean,
and then the maiden spake:
Il pray thee leave me now, Adina,"
she saith, softly, as the voice of Jeph-
than her father brake into great sobs
while she smoothed his snow-white
hair, and stilled him as mother might
her babe. II would be with him alone,
that my courage fail not; for he hath
more need of comfort than either thou
or /. Return to me an hour after moon
rise in the garden"
And Adina bowed his head and went.
with never so much as touch Of her
hand to feed the mighty hunger of his
love, howbeit that look in her eyes
which rested on him still, even as he
left her presence, was as draught
divine wherewith the thirst Of his soul
might be quenched.

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 it became in
moment softly shaded, as if to screen
the eyes of one who slept. Namarah,
indeed, had soothed her father into a
gentle slumber, and when it was known
unto her that he slept she stepped forth
into the garden.
She had even refreshed her from her
tourney and clothed herself in snow
white garments, perfumed with myrrh
and frankincense, 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 it.
Adina stood and waited in the spot
made sacred to them by the early
dawnings, as we'll as by the fruition of
their love; and as the maiden, fair and
white as if 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 one 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, it
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:
Il 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.

would choose or look for; but He hath

The Delagoa Bay Seizure.

New York. Jan. IA special to the Her.

from Berne, Switzerland, indicates that
the award Of the Swiss arbitration trd-
bune in the claims against Portugal aris-
ing out Of the seizure of the Delagoa bay
railroad, will not be determined for six
months or a year.
In view of the announcement made by
the Tribunal several months ago that it
expected to render its award during the
fall, the authorities had anticipated that
the matter might be settled any day. The
delay attending the award, it is said in Of
ficial circles, has no reference whatever
to the African war.
Even should the Portuguese territory in
South Africa have been transferred to
the British government before the SUBJ
mission of the award it Is said in official
circles that Portugal would still be liable
for the amount of the claim. Once the
award Is made, no difficulty is expected

Washington, Jan. 2.-The session of the

with the great powers of Europe and Japan

China had been eminently successful and
that favorable responses had been received

sia and Japan. The only country addressed
which has not yet responded is Italy, and
a favorable answer is also expected from
her. Secretary Hays statement fully con-
firms the information in the Associated

cess of the negotiations was extremely
gratifying to the president and cabinet as

development OF commerce with the great
empire of China. Secretary Root was not
