CHAPTER III.

AS he told the story of the young
mans bravery and self-devotion, Ma
marahs eyes grew brilliant, and her
breath came thick and fast; and as
Jephthah dwelt upon the imminent
danger that had threatened both, a
look so terrified came into her face
that he said again, as he had said so
often:
Thou lowest thy old father too
much"
1t often happened, after this, that
the young man Adina would come to
the house in company with Jephthah,
or by his ordering or permission, and
make his way to the great room where
were kept all manner of pieces of ar
NOR and weapons, and other trappings
of war. And at times it transpired that,
as he approached the house, Namarah
would be in the garden feeding her
doves. Sometimes he would pass on
with only a gracious reverence to her,
but again he would wax holder and
come near, laughing with her to see
the white birds scatter at his approach,
and then, as he would stand very still
by Namarah's side, settle back content
eddy at her feet and go on with their
breakfast. He delighted to see her
feed them from her mouth; and they
soon grew so accustomed to him that
they would fly to her without needing
him, sometimes perching for a moment
on his shoulders, and hopping thence to
hers.
"They are carrier BIRDS" she said
one morning, as he stood beside her
thus. She looked up in his face and
smiled. but quickly her eyes dropped
to the doves at her feet.
Hast thou tested them?" he asked.
"And will they. indeed. bear tidings to
thee from ATARI"
"Truly.I cannot tell thee of mine own
knowledge" she made answer; but l
know II is their nature. and feel as
sured that IL one of my birds should be
taken far away II would return to me"
Maiden. I well believe it," he re-
piled. And at these words, so gently
spoken, 10. there came into her cheeks
again that treacherous rose-color
which he alone. or the mention Of him,
had power to summon there.
"Dost thou believe it," she made an
,sEer. Then. truly thou mayst test it

err means of precaution when passing

There is one thing for which an en-
gineer is noted. This is the absolute
obedience of orders. He is brought up
on that from the time he starts to fir
ing till he becomes graduate and
takes charge Of an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor of others, and,
of course, never loses the main point.
There is a story told illustrative Of
this. Two men were applicants for
positions on one of the railroads in
Boston not long ago. They both want
ed to be engineers, and there was but
one place vacant. The superintendent
before whom they appeared asked one
a question, which ran after this fash
ion: Suppose you were on siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one vas
asked the question, and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: Il
dunno That is the conductors job,
not mine" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and IL they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
a respectful distance, with his cap in
his hand. and was asked the same
question. Il tell you, sir" he said,
'if the orders looked all right, and |
thought the signature was good and
all that, l would stand on that siding
forever" II guess you had better re-
port to the roundhouse for duty said

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CHAPTER II.-(Continued.)

CHAfIEH ll.-(Contlnued.)
She knelt behind the curtain of her
window as the troop came near, es-
corting their leader to his home, but
her father knew this way of hers, and
sent a glad glance upward as he dis
mounted Adina saw and understood
the look, and quick as thought, glanced
upward. too; but while the look Of
Jephthah fingered on Namarah's case
ment, the look of the young man was
hastily withdrawn, and even in the
golden flush of the sunset the hue of
his cheek deepened. Namarah saw
that it did, and the consciousness sud
denly reminded her that she was
thinking of some one else beside her
Father, at the moment of his return
from battle, and that was thing that
had never happened before. She rose
Ito her feet and flew down the stairs
Ito meet Jephthah at the entrance to
mis- chamber, as the body of soldiers
0passed onward down the street.
n Into his arms she sprang, her soft
flesh crushed against the metal of his
sarmor, and her hands clasped tight
gabout his neck; nor would she loose
her hold when he had kissed and fon-
{dled her repeatedly.
i "Dost thou love thy old father so
>indeed?" he asked. And art thou
trembling? Why, maiden, thou art
IA soldiers child, and battles are his
daily work. Wilt thou never lose thy
timorousness? Thou lowest thy old
father too much, my little one. Thou
shouldst have some one else to spend
kthy woman's heart upon. I would
kfain see thee married, with a husband
and children of thy own to love"
But at these words, behold the
Hmaiden burst into great sobs, and
lung to his neck weeping, and de-
laring earnestly that she wanted no
N usband-she wanted no love that
would separate her from her father.
Then did Jephthah soothe and caress
her full tenderly, until the smiles had
Scattered the tears, and she took his
hrmor from him, as was her custom,
Rnd led him to his favorite seat, that
lie might rest.
4 AS she stood holding the great breast
plate in her little hands, she said sud-
denly:
"Am not I as good an armor bearer
vas the tall young man thou sentest
Rre this morning." Whereat she
tAhed, softly and blushed again.
THAT thou art" answered Jephthah,
fondly. mo one could perform the
Office better than thou dost do it. But
what thoughtest thou of the young
man Adina?"
"He seemeth to be a soldier-like
young man enough" Namarah an
swered,' carelessly, and fell to polish
ing with fold of her white gown the
shield she was holding.
Thou carest as little for him, see,
as for the others of his kind; but, Ma
marah, see that thou ever treatest him
kindly when he cometh in thy way
But for his courage in the sudden at
tack this morning, thy father might be
with thee now dead instead of living"

When Housekeepers Are Frightening the

Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re-
markable winter Is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dlngy look OF
the home interior. The question OF
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use of such cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. 1t can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
1t Is long lasting.
