THE STORY.

IOAB, the captain of the armies of
q Israel. had openly espoused the
cause OF Adonijah, and daily now the
heir-apparent to the throne was to be
seen riding through the streets OF
Jerusalem In regal style, and many
were the admiring and approving
glances which followed the gorgeous
procession Of chariots and horses and
out-runners. II had been a long time
since King David had been seen in
public, and when 1t had become known
that all efforts had failed on the part
OF the court physicians to rouse him
out of the semi-stupor into which he
had fallen, the people realized that
the days Of their beloved king were
numbered. But sorrowful though their
hearts were and reluctant to part with
the great King David, they knew that
soon a new ruler would take his place
on the throne. No one seemed to know
whether the king had chosen the n
who should rule in his place, or not,
and so when Adonijah, the Oldest living
son OF David, had prepared him chart
OTIS and horses and unner to go be.
fore him, 1t was generally accepted
that he was to succeed to the throne.
And this feeling was strengthened by
the action Of Joab, and frequently the
grizzled old warrior was to be seen
riding with Adonijah in the %latter's
chariot.
But one thing troubled Adonijah. Up

the high priest. a most important con
dition of success. He knew he could
not hope to win over Zadok, who was
associated with Abiathar In the high
p~riestly office, but he had found Abb.
affair more friendly to his cause, and
felt that II he could get him to take a
stand in his favor. the Endorsement OF
zadok would not be needed.
However, In consultation with Joab,
he had gone ahead with his plans,
and had arranged for q great gath.
ering of his followers, at which II
vas expected that formal recognition
Of his claims to the throne would be
made, but as the time approached for
the banquet he grew more and more
anxious about Abiathar. He felt he
must have him present.
Has any word come from Abiathar,
the high prlest?" he demanded from
his servant one day Immediately after
his return from the daily ride through
the city's streets.
None, my lord" the servant replied.
A dark frown %overspread the hand
some face and he started to enter the
open door, when a sudden resolve
seized him.
Recall the chariot" he said sharply
to the servant standing near, and iIv
a trice he was whirling OFF In the
direction Of the high priests house.
"Abiathar shall give me an answer
this day." he muttered savagely.
A loud shout from the driver and
the sudden stoppage OF the chariot
aroused him from his reverle. In turn

Waste, Much Waste.

the prodigious waste of the

chief Of the technologic bureau of tho
geological survey, calls attention to
the fact that in the coal-mining opera.

one-half of the total coal supply is be.
ing left underground; that water as
a source Of power is being wasted day
after day and year after year to the
extent Of millions of horsepower, and
that forest fires have burned more
lumber than has been used In the
building Of homes or in the industries.
Prof. Holmes says that the waste Of
coal is appalling. Every possible
means should be adopted, he declares,
for reducing this waste to an absolute
minimum, In order that the country's
fuel u may suffice for the fu-
ture. as for the present needs of the
Ration. At present rates of waste and
consumption he sees an end Of the
coal supply by the year 1000.
