himself: The queen will be angry at my
silence"
But the queen still smiling and did
not look angry.
She spoke first and said, in a voice sweeter
than music:
BE welcome and sit down"
And. with a 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

in honey. But she not listening to him.

But now there came big roar Of armed
horsemen and Balkis saw brave Abner who. at
the head of her guards. came to release MS
queen of whose mysterious disappearance he
had heard the day before.
The mage Sembrobitis and Menkera the eu-
much who standing by Abner's side gave
a loud cry when they saw their prince lying mo-
tionless with a knife in his side They raised
him with the utmost care. Sembrobitis who
was well versed In medical science, saw that
he was still breathing. He dressed the wound
while Menkera wiped the froth from the kings
lips. Then they tied him on horse and bore
him gently to the queens palace.
For a 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 the queen.
Where is she? What is she doing?'
MY lord" said Menkera, "she is in private
conversation with the king of Comagene"
Il must see her!" cried Bathasar.
And he rushed out toward the queens apart
ment before the old man and the eunuch could
stop him. When he came 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 purple bed, with closed
eyes, smiling.
"Oh Balkis Oh my own" cried Balthasar
She turned 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.
Il really do not know what you mean, my
lord. Palm wine agrees not with you. You
must have been a-dreaming.
She rose to her feet and the gems in her
gown clashed like hailstones and shone like
lightning.

my prvy council must assemble. l have no
leisure for explaining the dreams Of 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.

inc ,amn tbroueb the thick atmosphere of the
place reeking brutes fighting with nsts or
knives for a cup of fermented drink, while
others slept with closed fists, under the tables.
Balkis, perceivng some salt fish hanging
from the rafters of the roof said to her COM
panion:
Il should like to eat of that salt fish with
pounded onions"
Balthasar ordered the dish, but when she
had finished eating, he discovered that he had
taken no money with him. He took little con-
Germ and thought they could go out without
paying But the innkeeper barred their way
calling him slave and calling her donkey,
at which Balthasar knocked him down with
his fist. Some of the men, with uplifted
knives, rushed upon the two strangers. But
the black king, Selling hold OF an enormous
pestle used for pounding Egyptian onions,
crushed two of his aggressors and compelled
the others to retreat. He felt Balkis by his
side. which made him invincible. The friends
of the innkeeper. not daring to approach,
hurled at him. from the back of the shop, oil
Jars and cups, lighted lamps. and even the
enormous brass pot wherein a whole sheep
was stewiug. The pot fell with a crash on
Balthasars head and split 1t. He was
stunned for an instant, but. gathering up his
strength, he hurled the pot back with such
vigor that the weight of it was increased ten
fold The crash of tn falling metal was
mingled with horrible groans and with the
shreks of the dying. Taking advantage of
the terror of the survivors and fearing lest
Balkis should be hurt. Balthasar took her in
his arms and ran with her through the dark
and deserted streets.
Il love thee whispered the queen.
And now the moon. peeping from behind e
cloud. revealed in Balkiss half-closed eyes. a
ray Of light damp with tears. They were go
ing down the dry bed of torrent. All Of q
sudden Balthasar's foot slipped on some moss
and they fell down holding one another in q
tight embrace. 1t seemed to them as II the
world of the living had ceased to exist And
when at dawn gazelles came to drink from the
hollows of the stones. the lovers were still
wrapped in oblivion.

end of the year hopes to have it so
far reduced that 1t will be behind but
few months.
For years the supreme court has
been behind time in its work, and,
with the view of expediting it, the
bench was increased several years
ago from three to five members.
Despite that, however, apparently
because of the increase of business.
the court continued to lag behind,
but before the year is at an end it is
expected that it will get its work in
such shape that 1t will be equal to
the record of the courts of other
states.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture a bill was introduced to in
crease the membership from five to
seven. The purpose was to give the
court an opportunity to catch up and
expedite matters in general. The
legislature, however, felt that it was
but a short time ago since the court
increased,and that to again increase
it would not be wise, and killed the
bill.
