Her lips parted suddenly. and her

Hebrew at the entrance lifted the side
without a word and signed him to en-

The Interior was not yet fully fur

The tent was furnished, and nobIy.
The man bowed before Kenkenes,
awaiting the Egyptians further pleas

man bowed again and retired.
Presently some one entered behind
him He arose and turned. Before
him was the most welcome picture his
bereaved eyes could have looked upon.
His visitor was all in shimmering
white and wore no ornament except a
collar Of golden rings. What need Of
further ad0rnment when she was man
tied and crowned with glory Of gold
en- hair? Except that the face was
marble white and the eyes dark and
large with quiet sorrow, it was the
same divinely beautiful Rachel
1t may have been that he was beyond
the recuperative influence Of sudden
Joy or that the unexpected restora ton
OF his love might have swept away his
forces had he been in full strength, but
whatever the cause kenkenes sank to
bis knees and forward into the ca ger
arms flung out to receive him. Her cry

"kenkenes. oh, my love, Not dead
not dead"'
Then it was he learned that she had
kespaired, grieving beyond any com.
fort. for she had counted him with the
drstborn Of Egypt. And even though
thoughts came to him but slowly now
he said to himself:
Praise God, did not think Of it. OF
I had gone distracted with her trou

How rich woman love is in solicitude
: and ministering resource 1t made
Rachel strong enough to raise him and
having led him back to the divan, gen

IONS. The wine was at her hand, and
! she filed the beaker and held it while
be- drank. Then she kissed him and
hiding her face in his breast. wept soft
tears. And, though he held her very
ing to soothe her, he could not speak.
After little she spoke.
