HISTORIC FIND IN PALESTINE
chicacoan Reports Discovery of Floor
of Church Dating From Third or
Fourth Century.

DR.. George L. Robinson of the Nc
Cormick Theological seminary, who
has returned to Chicago after a years
study of ruins in Palestine, reports
the finding of an ancient mosaic floor
one mile south of st. Nebo.
The floor was discovered by an
Arabian farmer who dug into the
earth to build a foundation for q
barn." he said. The floor was in
one of the early Christian churches
and was built in the third or fourth
century.
Flowers. animals and Greek in
scriptions are inlaid in most artistic
manner. The mosaic is in a perfect
state of preservation and looks as
though it might have been laid yes
terday."
AS a result of his studies Doctor
Robinson has come TO the conclusion
that the true Kadesh OF Moses and
the Israelites is properly located at
Aim Kadees. Doctor Robinson said he
believed that the Catholics were cor
rect in their contention that Zion is
located on the southwestern hill Of
Jerusalem and that Calvary is under
meath the church of the Holy Sep

Then she turned and disappeared in
the deep cleft between the gigantic
bowlder upon which she had been sit

parison. There, ten feet down, in a
narrow alley Uttered with ragged
stones, lay the crumpIed body of a
man. 1t lay with the left arm doubled

She had found the left arm limp

diagnosed a broken bone. But uncon-

blow on the head. where bruise was

trickled blood.
She lifted her skirt and tore long
strip of cotton from her single petit
coat Then she picked her bare-foOted
way swiftly to the creek bed, where
she drenched the cloth for bathing and
bandaging the wound. When she had
done what she could by way Of first
aid she sat supporting the mans
shoulders and shook her head dubi-
ously.
Finally the mans lids futtered and
his lips moved. Then he opened his

nod was gone.
At last she came to a point where
clearing rose on the mountainside
above her. The forest blanket was
stripped off to make way for fenced
in and crafty fitting field OF young
corn. High up and beyond, close to
the bald shoulders of sandstone which
threw themselves against the sky, was
the figure of man. AS the girl halted
at the foot of the field at last, painting
from her exertions, he was sitting on
the rail fence, looking absently down
on the outstretched panorama below
him.
Samson South was not, strictly
speaking. a man. His age was per-
haps twenty. He sat loose-jointed and
indolent on the top rail of the fence,
his hands hanging over his knees, his
hoe forgotten. Near by, propped
against the rails, rested a repeating

There was a moments pause

until he had assembled a sort of men

The South-HOlIman feud had been
mentioned by the more talkatiye OF
his informers, and carefully tabooed

anything that makes as good a show

There is a saving In buying enough
