CHAPTER VIII.


On the evening Of the return from
battle of the hosts OF Jephthah, the
Gileadite. Namarah went, as was her
wont, to feed her doves, and as she
stood among them, more white than
was the gown she wore. there came
to her, down the garden-walk, through
the parted branches of the trees, the
young man Adina.
Now, Namarah knew that he would
come. even at this time and place. but
her heart within her trembled, and the
color was not so far gone from out her
cheek but that his coming called 1t
back, like to rose in bloom.
Adina, who had rested from his
travelling and refreshed himself, was
clad this evening, like Namarah, all in
white, in stately robe that swathed
his stalwart body from the shoulder to
the sandals on his feet His beautiful
strong young arms were hid beneath
Its folds. until, as he came up to where
the maiden stood, he reached them
out and folded her tenderly and
strongly against his breast.
Hurt not the bird, Adina." she said,
slowly, as he held her there and knew
not to distinguish between the fiutter-
ing Of the dove and the beating of the
maiden's heart. "It is even thy little
messenger, which did company thee
upon thy dangerous wanderings and
bring me the message of thy heart to
mine."
How knowest thou it is the same,
Namarah," he made answer. seeing
that these snow-white birds Of thine
are like as be garden-lilies?" And as
he spake, he held her still with one
strong arm, while the other hand he
laid above her little one that gently
smoothed the rufied plumage of the
frightened bird.
II knew it even by its travel-stains
and by It's broken feathers. See, the
birding hath cen suffered In our SER
vice." and. as she spake, she lifted 1t
and kissed 1t tenderly, at which Adina
swiftly bent his tall head and kissed
the very spot whereon her lips had
lain upon the bird, saying as he did So:
"Thy kisses are all mine, Namarah,
anu AAAooS CNCu tdhC DtCh lut Uu6 LuaI
thou hast given to the bird. 1t was
Ill done Of thee to besow 1t on another
than him to whom 1t doth by right be-
long. Release the bird that hath too
long engaged the touches of thy hands,
for these be mine also, and tonight l
long for all thy love, seeing that my
heart within me is like to burst with
sorrow" ifhr
Then Namarah swiftly loosed the
bird. which few away and vanished
from their sight. even as the maiden
threw her arms about her lovers neck
and yielded herself to his most sweet
embrace.
II pray thee sorrow not, Adina, my
beloved" She spake low. Thine am
for eternity. and Heavens Joys can
never end. Wilt thou not strive to give
me strength to do the thing that lies
The Holly chieftain., 1900-05-04

before me? Pray for courage'for both
thee and me, for love is sweet and
death seems cruel"
"Ay. death il cruel. cruel!" made an
swer Adina, with that his brow grew
stern. and the very hands that were
about her soft young body clinched as
II In anger.
Nov. may God forgive me-" said
Namarah. FOR the evil word spake.
It even passed the door Of my lips;
without mine own consent. Our God II

not. BY doubt Of His goodness and re-
bellion to His will. He will most likely
deliver NJ both: and II It pleaseth Him
to take my spirit back to Him who
gave It, and so leave thee here upon
the earth. will It seem too hard . thing
to wait with patience until the hour of
thy release from earth and flesh shall
come, when thy spirit shall again meet
miner" atf.
TOO hard thing. Namarah! 1
could walt till eternity were ended
sooner than could love any other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet Is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah; land
my heart Is even warmed and COM
forted to hear thee speak those words.
Nevertheless. there Is thing would
have thee remember. II IL should be,
when am dead, that thou shouldst
ever love another maiden-for thou art
young, and there be others worthy of
thy love. and life alone is long and
sad would not have thee live unwed
because of me. II thou choosest to
marry thou hast my full consent, and
even my blessing from Heaven"
But at her words the young man
thrust her from him almost roughly.
and turned on her the first ungentle
look his face had ever worn to her.
Thou art unkind and cruel unto me.
Namarah." he said. land thy love ia
not like to mine for thee, or thou
couldst not think possible the thing
whereof thou speakest. The soul of
Adina slept within him until, at touch
Of thy soul. 1t walked; and-it lives but
for thee alone. II thou must die, the
desire Of my heart will bestill to thee
alone. and my soul shall even wait fol

Then the face Of each turned 70 each.
and long time they gaxed into each
others eyes, - though their very
souls were barred unto each other. Then
silently their arms entwined, and softly
their lips met and pressed and clung;
and 30 rested they. still upon their
knees. for the moment was sacred at
once to love and to death. The. thought
OF what was to come was In the heart
Of each. and cast around them q great
awe that seemed to wrap them in; but
even over this their pure love tri-
umphed, and the man and the maiden
were shown therein the truth Of Ma
marah's words, that love Is stronger
than death.
Then Adina lifted up his voice and
prayed.
And Namarah. In her gentle voice,
which the words Of Adina's prayer
made now to tremble, answered even
also. amen" sS b
After they got them to their feet
and went in search of the maiden's
father Jephthah. that they might speak
unto him cheering words and comfort
him with the comfort wherewith their
souls within them had been comforted.
And Namarah spoke unto her father
Jephthah, and said:
Let this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months. that I may go
up and down upon the mountains, and
beWail INV unhapnv lot
And he said:

And after this, behold, the face Of the
maiden was no longer sorrowful. but
ever there beamed forth from It a most
calm and shining light that even COM
forted the hearts Of all who gazed on
her.

The chief organizer, who is here
making arrangements for the opening
Of the first lodge In the state, said OF
the objects and purposes of the insti-
tuition: 'The Knights of the Soil is
strictly lodge. 1t is a secret organi-
zation and Its purpose Is to enable the
farmer to combat the industrial trusts
that are pitted against him. For this
reason 1t is sometimes denominated a
farmers trust, though that is q mis-
nomer. 1t is merely a friendly union
by which there shall be concerted ac-
ton on the principal business inter-
ests Of the day. Hs
How may this be done? Why, IN
this way, for example: Some poor
farmer finds that he must, for one
cause or another, sell his crop on a
low market. He realizes that IL he
could hold It, for little while he
could make fair profit, while IL he
Is compelled to sell 1t on-hand he must
make nothing or at most small
profit Now there IL where the farm
ers' organization comes In with its
benefcient assistance. Through 1t the
poor farmer will be able to borrow
from his richer neighbor a sum suf-
flcient to tide him over the time 81
need and the lodge will see that the
lender Is amply protected.
