Disturbing Dreams

Jeho-Sheba withdrew to where the
children were at play and taking Ella
kin in her arms burst into tears. Sa-
lone went and threw her arms around
the boy and wept too--she knew not
why
Zachariah and Eliakim wondered at
the scene and as boys do not like to
be wept over by women, Elial1im drew
himself away and went off to play with
Zaehariah-the two asking each other
the cause of the outburst of grief and
affection.
Then they asked Salome-but she
only said that she had wept because
her mother had and that she was sure
something awful was about to happen
TO Elialxim.
Then, in spite of his struggles, she
kissed him and told him that she would
always be his little wife-which infor-
nation did not seem to interest the boy
at all.
Meantime in her palace Queen
Athalie was talking with her counsel
ors. She had not been herself she said
for several days.
For three nights in succession she
had dreamed of a child--a child which
threatened her. She knew that some
ting was going to happen"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-14
JehOiada's Plans

That night the chief priest said to his
wife: 1.-The time has come for US to
speak. We may no longer conceal what
we know
My lord, 1 yield to your wise coun-
sells" replied Jeho-Sheba. but with what
power can you oppose the queen? Whom
can you trust? What soldiers can you as
semble?"
Then Jehoiada told her of the plans he
had laid.
For some time he had been testing the
chief men of the city, seeing whom he
could trust and who had sold themselves
to the will of Athale.
He had secretly increased his Levites-
the fighting men Of Judah-and had al
ready considerable force concealed In
the temple.
He had also gathered in all the priests
he could and had increased the order,
filling 1t with men true and fearless and
capable of fighting.
He had gathered arms quietly and Sc
cretlySa great store of them-and had
them hidden in the temple. He had bound
all his priests and Levites by most sol
emn oath.
He had not expected to act now, but
at any moment Athalie might force his
hand.

Afraid-Of What?

The counselors, naturally, put her
forebodings down to the stirring con-
science of an old woman who had i'm
bued her hands in the blood of her
grandchildren.
What could happen to the mighty
Alfalfa? The only thing that threat
ened her-and that was almost too
contemplate to notice-was the REM
nant of the worshipers of Jehovah
who, under that arch-traitor, the CHIEF
priest, still fingered in the temple.
Athalie should drive them out at
once and for all and build an altar
to Baal upon the site of the temple.
Then there could be no doubt that
tive story of the hidde nhoards Of
David secreted in the temple was true.
1t was a shame that these treasures
should not be in the possession of the
Queen.
The line of David was extinct.
Around whom could the Jews rally:
Was she afraid of few priests-sh,
with her well-disciplined Tyrian SOL
diers filling her barracks?
The courage of the Queen revived

and became again the fiery avenger C.

To Show His Treasures

Then turning to Abner. he said TT is
true that David left a treasure here
And since the queen seems to know OF
it she shall be satisfied. Let her
come, attended by her officers. provided
she keeps far off from the sacred altar.
Arrange with her the number of her
train. She shall see with her own eyes
the treasure David left here. She says
We are children and priests here, l be-
lieve. and SO cannot fear to visit us.
AS to the child, l will take him I'M

fastened back to the queen.

Evil Days

Tor six years had she reigned, and,
though no longer young-in fact inclln-
ing toward old age-her will was as un-
bending her blood-thirstiness as great
her hatred of the ancient race of Kings
and their religion as inYeterate as ever.
In the Temple of Solomon a few priests
still kept watch before the Ark of the
Covenant and conducted the sacred rites.
But the worshipers had fallen away and
it was as much contempt as anything else
that prevented Athalie from entering into
the sacred place and ousting the rem
nants of the ancient religion of Moses
and Aaron.
Evil days, indeed, had the Church OF
the Lord fallen on under Athalie Of Tyre.
Jehoida was the high priest, and with
bis family, dwelt in the house near the
temple.
1t was n loving and devoted family,
that of the high priest, and it would have
been a happy one had not the dark
fortunes which hung over the kingdom
and the constant detection from a pure
religion to the obscene worship of Baal
cast a gloom over every Jewish house
hold in whic hthe ancient glories of the
kingdom were remembered and in which
the old religion was still practiced.

"I have avenged my family. I have

New Tuberculosis Cure

losis before a gathering of physicians and

Dayid's Heir

Slowly the curtain before which they
stood was drawn up, and seated upon
throne with the crown of David upon
his head was the boy who had been
known as Eliakim, but who was in rea.-
ity Joash, David's heir.
When Athale had made a slaughter
pen of the royal nursery Joash had been
stabbed and left for dead.
But faithful nurse stealing after the
massacre into the chamber of horrors
had found life in the infant body ana
child to Jeho-Sheba, who had reared tho
boy up under the name of Eliakim.
And now Joash sat upon the throne of
his fathers and wore the crown or
David.
Queen" cried the chief priest, do you
recognize King David's heir? Behold
your grandson, Ahaziah's son. Here"
of the robe the boy wore. lat least you
recognize the marks of your own dagger
And see, she kneeling by the side of the
throne is his faithful nurse, whom you
will remember"
For an instant Atha.e stood amazed
and terrified. Then rousing herself she
cried ont:
."Treasonl Fraud Soldiers. red me of
this traitor and this impostor."
Soldiers of God draw near" cried the
chief priest, and forth sprang the Lew
ties and the armed priests Athalie saw
the trap she was in.

the queens visit to the chief priest,
and various versions of what she had
said to Eliakim and of his answers ID
her. -- h.i
Somehow an impression ran abroad
that great things for Judah were on the
wind---that some resource, hitherto un-
known to the people, was about to be
made use of by the priest.
Yes, and far out beyond the city
walls into the country the rumors ran.
It was a wave of hope that swept over
Judah. And yet why no one could tell
his neighbor
The queen had had an interview with
an unknown boy who served the alta-
in the temple. and had flown into fury
against the chief priest and his asso-
ciates. These were the only definite
things among the rumors.
But, nevertheless, the apostates who
for their own gain or peace, or in order
to please their rulers, had gone over 10
the worship of Baal now Stunned his
affairs.
The wavering secretly sent in their
allegiance to whatever the chief priest
might have in hand. The faithful took
heart and in groups sought the temple,
there to abide the issue.

Ruled by the Tyrian

THE fierce and cruel Athalie reigned
over the kingdom of judah.
4 Daughters of Ahab and Jezebel,
she felt a deadly enmty to all the race
of the house of David.
She had married Jehoram, King Of Ju-
dah. and when he died and his son and
hers, Ahabiah, died. she saw an oppor-
tunity for putting into execution all that
she had so long mediated and plotted Of
vengeance.
Could she forget the disgraces and
death that the Jews had wrought upon
her mother and her father?
She was Princess of Tyre and had
been gradually bringing into Jerusalem
Tyrian soldiers. Secretly or openly, had
she been establishing the worship of
Baal in the kingdom and curtailing the
power and influence of the priests of
Jehovah.
When her son died she acted, and,
bursting into the royal palaces with her
Tyrians, she turned the royal nursery
into a shambles, killing, as she though,
all her grandchildren and all of the seed
of David.
Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah
were terrorlzed. The old line of Kings
seemed to be extinct; the city was gar
risoned by foreign mercenaries and the
affairs Of Baal were erected on every
hand.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-14
Could Wait No Longer

The chief priest saw the kingdom or
Judah disolying around him. He avs
the altar sof the Most High being for
sakedn. He resolved upon action, though
he knew that what he was about TO un-
dertake would, II 1t failed. be the cause
of the death of himself and of all those
whom he held most dear
He had intended TO wait longer until
he upon whom he most relied TO re-estab-
iish the old order should be no more
fiteed TO take the part which in his mind
he had already assigned him.
But he could wait no longer or there
would be nothing left to save.
He was the more impressed with this
fact when, on the anniversary of the
day when the Law was given from the
mount, old Abner came to the temple.
Abner, when there had been a King in
Judah, had been one of that King
chief officers.

The Chief Priests Plot

Meantime the chief priest said to the
captain of the Levites: "As soon as
the Queen has passed the gates close
them suddenly. That very movement let
our trumpet blow a note of defiance"
Athalie came into the temple with
her train. Hidden all about was a su-
perior number of Levites and armed
priests. which she did not see. She
saw a few priests standing before a
curtain and in their center the chief
priest, Jeholada.
"Deceiver, author of foul plots" she
cried when she saw him, where is the
treasure you are to show me-the treasure
left by David? And where is that young
boy, another treasure you must resign to
me?'
You shall be satisfied replied the
chief priest. 81 am about to show both
at once"

Old Mule Dies

ert Holman, near Springfield, was named
Mike and was broken to work by Holman

on Mike was finally dubbed Old Mike and
sold as a plug" to Manuel Douglas, an
old negro, who, with his cart and Old
Mike, has been a familiar figure ON the
streets of Springfield for more than 30
years, says Springfield, Tenn, dispatch
TO the New York World
Old Mike passed in his checks this week
as the oldest mule Tennessee ever pro-
duced, being at his death 43 years old
Old Mike saw Springfield when it was
emerging from simple village into a
town. He saw wooden buildings give way
to modern buildings of brick and stone as
he plodded his solemn way hauling slop
from the back yards of hotels and old
boxes and rubbish from the Easements of
business houses.

Caught in a Trap

"IIa, knaves," she shouted, ''remem-
Der that this temple is still beleaguered
by my soldiers. l hear even now their
shouts. Tremble, you rebels, succor is
at hand"
But the shouts which Athalie had heard
from her soldiers were shoutes of panic.
When the trumpet of Judah blew;
when the Tyrian mercenaries knew that
the Queen was in the power of her ene-
mics; when rumor ran outside the walls
that the heir of David had just been
crowned in the temple; when the popu-
lace at this fast spreading rumor began
to threaten them; when, with dismay,
they realized all their principal officers
were caught in the trap with the Queen;
when the Levites and the priests made a
sortie shouting, 'The sword of the Lord
and of Gideon" they fled in wild panic,
and left the Queen to her fate and Jeru-
salem to the troops sent out by the chief
priest.

The Enundlinp Eliakim

The family of the hign priest consisted
of his wife Jeho-Sheba, his daughter, Sa-
lone. his son, Zacharia. and his adopted
son. Eliakim.
Eiakib was said to be founding
upon whim the wife of the chief priest
had taken compassion, and he was
brought up in the temple to the service
OF the altar.
Generally he passed for the true son
of the chief priest-few, indeed, remm-
bered or thought of his being only an
adopted son.
The two children. Eliakim and Sa-
lone. young as they were, took con-
slant delight in each others company.
To Salome there never was such a noble
and wise boy as Eliakim. and to Eliakim
there never was such a pretty and WIN
some girl as Salome.
The young Zacharia was never jealous
OF the preference which sis sister Sa-
lone showed for the adopted brother. and.
IN fact, all three children loved each
other devoted1y and were loved devotedly
by their parents whom they loved In re-
turn.

Her Two Conditions

How did you get here throkch the
besieging forces?" every one asked !;
'how did you get out of PRISON.
Abner said that Alfalfa had confined
him in loathsome dungeon and seat
word to him that he was to stas there
until the temple had been burned, when
she would have the pleasure of putting
him to the torture
But he said that he had been in tho
dungeon scarcely an hour when the
queen sent for him. She seemed anx-
ious and dispirited.
"Abner." she said, pointing out of the
palace windows, you see that the
temple is entirely surrounded by NV
troops In a short time the flames will
leave of 1t but pile of ashes. in spite
of all that your God can do to save ii.
'Yet upon two conditions can the
temple be saved and the priests re-
deem their lives. Go tell them upon
these conditions 1 will let them live.
'I am weak to have temporized so
long. But they see my power now and
must yield or die There is no escape
for them.''

Danger Threatening

II come to Worship said Abner. ''bui
my heart is troubled. The queen medl-
tates thy ruin. She would tear thee from
the altar,
"rhe apostate priest Mattan, has con-
WINGED her that there are hidden in the
temple vast stores of treasure amassed
and left by David, This he has told her
she~ should take by force
"Also he keeps irritating her against
yourself. He keeps telling her that you
are power still and should be got rid of
THUS he appeals alternately to her love
of gold and her fear-for fear she does
in spite of her haughtiness, and will fear
as long as there is remnant of the old
servitors of the temple left and Jehovah
is still worshiped in Jerusalem.
For the past two days the queen has
been meditating something against you
