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
1nightiness 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. Mamarah,
indeed, had soothed her father into
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
journey 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 low-drawn sigh:
'I>would that could die even now!"
And Adina answered:
And I 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

Take one of those tumblers of which

one Of these strips white, the next
one black, the next one white, and so

Tossing Cards.

Tossing Cards.
Did y u ever try throwing cards in
a hat? It is great fun. Take an old
high hat, place it on the floor, then
let the players stand at a distance
from it-say ten or twelve feet. Use
an ordinary pack of cards and toss
them one by one in the hat, as far as
possible. A prize to him who gets in
the greatest number adds to the in
terest.
After a little practice it is remark
able how skillful one may become.

Filipino Basket Ball.

Filipino Basket Ball.
Basket ball is game that especial:
ly appeals to Filipino boys, but they
do not play it in the American STYLE
In the first place, the ball is really
a small, hollow basket, made of wick
er work, and therefore extremely light.

either side, and they kick the ball to

Dodse-Tag.
All boys who have played ~tag" will
learn very easily how to play dodge
tag" and will like this variation of
the old favorite. The most important
thing to remember is that you must
not run In straight line farther than
any given distance. or any distance
equal to the length between so and 50,
whatever you desire it to be. AS the
one who is ''it" comes to tag" you,
you must dodge him. After you have
played for little while, you find your
self supple as an eel. Just as you
are going to be tagged" and the one
who is "it' is quite sure he has you
this time, with turn of the heel or
toe and twist of the body, away you
go and he is disappointed. There
are only two other rules to remember,
No player can run home" while he is
bein chased, and the player who is
it, must not tag the same person
twice in succession.

each other, the trick being to keep it
over on the other side. Instead of
forcing it forward, as boys do when
playing football here, the rules of the
Filipino game demand a backward
kick, so that the boy must look over
his shoulder and strike out with his
heels, mule fashion.
Sometimes the Filipino boys have
lively skirmishes, in which the ball
does not get all the kicks.
