Religious Fanatieism of the Ma
tives Makes the Journey One
Of Great Danger.

Rev. Dr. William b. Palmore OF st.
Louis, who has just completed a tour
Of Europe and the Orient. said that
his most remarkable exploit was .
recent nocturnal expedition at the
risk of his life to the tomb on Mount
Hor, in Arabia Petrea. which il re-
vered by three religions a. the burial
place Of Aaron. brother Of Moses. and
first high priest Of the Hebrew theOc-
racy.
Late on the last night Of his stay in
Petrea DR.. Palmors silently stole out
Of the city, attended BY his guide anA
soldiers.
Whea the LITTLE party at last stood
aloas On the mountain top and saw
the desert sleeping far below they
found the mosque to b. rsnshackis
building of white stonss rvdsly pilsl
together and sur0ounted By . round-
ID dome. The guide without scrupls
applied his stolen key to the lock aAA
the door swung opso.
Il found myself in Q chapel about

cording to the Noslem custom. It cor
tained neither seats nor altars- II
vas completely bare save that in the
center stood . cenotaph. or empty sar
cophagus. covered BY . green cloth.
Carved In stone was an inscription In
Hebrew 30 nearly obliterated by time
that I could not decipher 1t. I calcu.
lated that the inscription was more
than 1000 years old. There was also
. legend carved ON the cenotaph In
modern Arabic.
Il had little time to waste, for J
was confident that II the Arabs In the
valley discovered my departure and
traced me to the mosque they would
kill me. In one corner discovered .
hole in the floor. revealing . flight Of
stairs cut in the rock and leading
downward.
Holding my candle aloft, I descend.
ed the steps and found found myself
In an unlighted cave Of no great size.
Like the mosque. 1t was bare and
rude. But across one end were
stretched two chains like sentinels
against :ntruders and behind them
hung 4 tattered curtain.
II stepped over the chains and
swept the curtain aside. The sealed
entrance to a natural vault was re
vealed and this vault was the tomb OF
Aaron"
There was little time for sacred rev.
erie. for. II day broke before he de-
scended the mountain, his errand
might be detected and avenged by the
Arabs Of the valley. SO DR.. Pal
more. after touching the sealed vault
reverently with his hand. ascended
the stairs. passed through the
mosque and stood again in the open
air
His guide gravely locked the door
and concealed the key once more in
mis- garments. The party made its
way safely back to Petra without dis
covery. and within a few hours was
miles aW,y on the return trip north.
