The chapter In which the text is
found is a great chapter In the life
of this unusual man. and marks a
crisis In his temporal caret- and in
his spiritual experience: and the lat
ter was of far more Importance. for
God was making this man a new head
OF the race which he had designated
as his own. There are three i'm.
portant scenes In the chapter. Morn.
ing. when the angel host met him:
afternoon. when he received news that
Easau was coming to meet him and
this news stirred him to fear and
brought him to prayer; and night.
when he was alone with God and
there wrestied man with him. In
these scenes the temporal and spir
itual life OF Jacob begin anew and
two lessons stand out clearly: First,
God demands spiritual men for spir
itual work second. surrender to God
is the only but the necessary condi
ton to this spiritual life. At the
end OF the struggle we read that God
blessed him there.

MOSAIC LAWS FAR ADVANCED
Peculiar Distinction of Permitted and
Forbidden Foods Has Been Vim
dictated at Last.

There have been gathered a 'collec-
ton of facts TO prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on a line
with the modern rules of hygiene. but
in some cases in advance of them,
says Harper's Weekly.
The Jew thousands of years before
Christ, settling in a semi-tropical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to
day in our markets as the most SAM
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results of his re-
searches in bacteriology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did
not forbid infected poultry as food. 1t
was only a few years ago that German
specialists discovered that fowl tuber-
culosis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the
Gentle world did not fully accept I'M
til a century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods of the
year, but the removal of whole fami-
lies in summer out TO camps, where
for a time they could live close to ma
ture. Many of the laws of Moses were
prescriptions intended for the health
of both mind and body.

cied he heard the whirring of great
wings above him. The sound passed
through his mind like the shadowy
fancy of a dream He hardly felt the
sand shoveled away or the hands that
hoisted him from the pit. 1t was the
taste of brandy in his throat and the
long succeeding draught of cooling
water infinitely grateful; above all it
was the agony of the returning circu-
lation in his limbs that brought him
back to consciousness.
When he opened his eyes he found
himself lying in the shadow of great
aeropiane. At his side stood an officer
wearing the uniform Of the Italian
aerCaautical corps. Within the ma
chine, strapped carefully to the up
rights, her face pale as death, her
eyes closed, ws.s the unknown lady.
But when Paul stared, not yet quite
sure of his surroundings, into the
face of the man who had rescued him
he was more amazed than st anything
that had occurred during his adven-
ture. For this was Captain ION Holz-
rath, whom he had met in antagcnism
on the Long Island shore that day
when he had his first ,Ieeting with
Mademoiselle.
The captain gazed into Paul's fare
steadfastly; he knew him, too.
Il am glad that we have met again"
he said. 1t is a far cry from the COM
mand of an Austrian battleship t, ehat
of an aeroplane scout in the Italian
army. you think Nevertheless, many
things are possible which might seem
impossible to you now, as you will

toward the camp in as orderly pre-
cision as though their riders still con

The battle had become general now
Screened as he was by the cover of
the palm trees. Paul was out of the
immediate zone of rife fire, but the
shells tore over him, hurting the
boughs upon the sand and delviue
graves among the debris of the dunes.

the Italians occupied the oasis they
found nothing but the bodies of those
who had fallen. They halted there
some half mile from Paul. They did
not find him.
He saw men pass nearby by at
times, but could not cry for aid, for
his swollen tongue Glove to the roof
of his parched mouth and all his
senses seemed about to fail him. He
felt the pangs of imminent dissolu-
ton. He closed his eyes. waiting for
death. He had no longer any fear, for
he had seen her horse go down; and
he knew that few of those who had
trepid ride into the zone of death
He did not feel the burning sun that
beat on him. He did not see the
shimmering wastes of sand, nor taste
the sand drift in his choking throat
But he heard the softly whispered
words that came to him; and as a
man in a dream who does not dare to
wake lest the vision vanish. he
listened.
A soft hand soothed his brow. At
last, venturing to open his eyes, he
knew that his dream was true
For she crouched at his side-the
woman who had been the cause of all
his venturings. she who had drawn
him from the placid existence of his
Long Island home to dare and do
among the world of men. And all the
scorn had faded FRI her face; only
with looks of compassion: now she
soothed him and stroked his burning
forehead
She crouched at his side and he
saw that her white burnouse was spot
ted with blood from a Gripping wound
which had left her arm limp and help
less

pered, and the sound of his name.

through his swollen lips. You have

day since l found you, only to lose
you. And | have never learned your

But you were so impatient. Paul"

struggle or resist. Silently he await
end. But when the sand reached the
level of Pauls throat the soldier pat
ted it down, ceased his labors, looked
at his companion, laughed; and the
pair trudged back among the palms
again. .
They had buried their victim to the
throat and left him there, head
above the desert, apparently cut of at
the throat, to suffer death from the
broiling heat of next DAYS sun-un-
less some prowling beast discovered
him.
The sun had long since sunk. 1t
was quite dark, save for a galaxy of
brilliant stars that seemed to drift
through the flying cloud. A cold wind
rose. Immobile in the sand, Paul felt
all his limbs tortured with cramps of
intense agony; after awhile these
were succeeded by a merciful numb
ness which crept icily from the chilly
depths and enveloped him, plotting
out all sense and consciousness. 1t
reached his brain as though a clammy
hand we're laid on it, gripping it with
it's relentless fingers. Paul swooned
away.
He must have been unconscious all
through the night, for when he opened
his eyes the east was rosy with the
dawn. A crashing sound beat on his
ear-drums, thunderous and prolonged
Paul was awake and alert now. There
was no mistaking that sound; il was
the noise of artillery, and as he lis
tened it broke forth in long and con-
tinuous roar. while shells burst
among the palm trees and flung
boughs to earth and drove great.

from the rolling dunes to the right
line of little figures in yellow swept
forward-;iny figures, like toy sol
diers. each carrying a rife as it raced
toward the trees. 1t halted, extended,
disappeared, rose from the sands
again. and a roar of rife shots crack
led and spluttered. The Italians were
attacking the Arab-Turkish camp.
Then hoarse shouting was heard,
and figures of men on horses broke
from among the trees, riding toward
the line of rif1emen. They drove for
ward in a compact body, in line of
columns, riding with intrepid reckless
ness against their enemies. And at
their head, not a hundred yards from

There was exultation in his voice.

Their voices hardly made them
selves audible across the wilderness
of sand.

he asked again
She shook her head family and fell
forward beside his grave. Paul closed
his eyes. He had no further wish to
live. He swooned into what he thought
was eternity
1t was long afterward that he fan
