At the moment some brigands hap
pened to pass by and saw the two lying on the
moss.
Then they tied them to the tail of donkey
and went along their way with them.
The black king hurting threats OF deatn

in the cold air of dawn, seemed to smile at
some inward thought.

On hearing these insulting words, Balthasar
was incensed with rage; he threw. himself upon
the brigand and squeezed his neck 30 hard that
he nearly strangled him.
But the brigand stuck his knife into him, and
the poor king rolling the ground, looked at
Balkis with eyes in which all life soon seemed
to be extinct.

he coulu not utter word, and he thought to
himself: 1.-THE queen will be angry at my
silence"
But the queen was still smiling and did
not look angry.
She spoke first and said, in voice sweeter
than music:
BE welcome and sit down."
And, with finger which looked like ray
of light she beckoned him to some purple
cushions on the floor.
Balthasar sat down. sighed a big sigh, and
Selling hold of cushion with each hand, he
exclaimed hurried~:

And, speaking thus, he squeezed the cush-

queens neck.

Because love you," said Balthasar.

The king did not know what to say; but
she pressed him:

Then, with a great effort Of memory, he
described the practise Of Ethiopian makers of
sweets, which consisted of stewing ounces
in honey. But she was not listening to him.
Then, all Of sudden:

But now there came big roar Of armed
horsemen and Balkis saw brave Abner who at
the head of her guards, came to release his
queen, of whose mysterious disappearance he
had heard the day before.
The mage Sembrobitis and Menkera the eu-
much who were standing by Abner's side gave
a loud cry when they their prince lying mo-

him with the utmost care. Sembrobitis, who
was well versed in medical science, that
he was still breathing. He dressed the wound
while Menkera wiped the froth from the kings
lips. Then they tied him horse and bore
him gently to the queens palace.
For space of fifteen days Balthasar re-
NAMED in a state of mad delirium. He spoke
continually OF the brass pot and of the moss in
the torrent bed, and cried out for Balkis. On
the sixteenth day, having opened his eyes, he
saw Sembrobitis and Menkera by his bedside.
but he did not see the queen.
where is she? What is she doing?'
"My lord" said Menkera, "she is in private
conversation with the king of Comagene."
IT must see her!" cried Balthasar.
And he rushed out toward the queens apart
ment before the old man and the eunuch could
stop him. When he came near the bed cham
Der he saw the king of Comagene coming out of
it, all bedecked with gold and as bright as the
sun.
Balkis, lying on a purple bed, with closed
eyes, was smiling.
"Oh Balkis! Oh my own!" cried Balthasar.
She turned a cold and hard gaze on him, and
he saw that she had forgotten everything, and
he reminded her Of that night in the torrent bed.

lord. Palm wine agrees not with you YOU

She rose to her feet and the gems In her
gown clashed like hailstones and shone like
lightning.
"My lord" she said, NOW is the time when
my privy council must assemble l have no
leisure for explaining the dreams Of a diseased
brain. Take some rest Adieu!"
Balthasar felt as if he going to die, but
he made an effort to hide his weakness from
the wicked woman, and, flying to his room, he
tainted, his wound having opened again.

Kentucky has been designated as
the home of the mint julep, and its

come the necessity for large amount

1t transpires, however, that the real

is right here in Missouri, whose crop

the queen of Sheba and drank palm wine.

Balks glanced at Balthasar and said:

''Balkis!" exclaimed the king.
He could say no more Seizing her In his
embrace he held the queens forehead beneath
his lips But he saw that she was weeping.
Then he spoke to her in a low, caressing
lightly singing voice, as nurse would to her
babe and he called her his little flower and
his little star
why dost thou weep?" said he. "and
what must I do that thou mayest weep no
more? If thou hast any wish, tell 1t me. and
I shall do even as thou wishest."
She had ceased weeping, and now she was
in dreamy mood. For long time he pressed
her to tell him her wish.
At last she said:
IT wish to feel fear"
AS Balthasar did not seem to understand,
she explained to him that for a long time she
had been wishing to be exposed to some un-
known danger but that she could not, because
both the men and the gods Of Sheba were
watching over her.
"And yet" she added with sigh, IT should
so like to feel during the night, the cold and
delightful thrill of fear go through my flesh!
I should so like to feel my hair stand on end!
Oh! how delightful it would be to be afraid"
She threw her arms round the neck of the
black king and said, in the voice of a beseech-
ing child:

US both go through the town In disguise. Will

He assented and she, running to the win
