HONEYMOON HOUSE
By GEORGE MUNsoN.

'Of what use is my success now"
sighed Robert Loring, when Elsie
cannot enjoy it with me?"
AT t~hirty-two years OF age Loring
had suddenly become well known as
an architect. 1t was his work on the
Municipal building, a subsidiary part
Of which had Unexpectedly fallen to
MIN to design, owing to the death of
the original architect, which had
brought him fame. And now he had
9 e commissioned to build a half-mil-
lion dollar house for John Merivale,
an elderly banker, known Us the rich.
est, most eccentric and most kind
hearted man in the state.
Loring had known Merivale slightly
when he was a boy, but no doubt the
banker had long ago forgotten him.
He had had a hard life. Born in lux
ury, he had been cast into poverty on
the untimely death of his father. At
twenty-five he had married Elsie Foth-
eringall, reputed the prettiest girl in
Baltimore society. Then came the
crash and years Of bitter poverty, cul-
minating in their separation. Elsie
had taken her maiden name again,
and for six years he had not seen her.
Their quarrels had been due to his
poverty. Elsie, accustomed to every
luxury, could not understand living on
Sl5 a week. She had no idea of the
struggles a young professional man
must undergo. She thought Robert
idle. And he had been too proud to
go to her when his income began to
mount, first to two thousand a year,
then to three thousand-now to eight
thousand dollarsl
He sighed, for he still loved Elsie,
and made his way down to old Meri-
yale's office. The same pride which
had led him to shun all his acquaint-
ances now forbade him to remind the
banker Of his former acquaintance
with him. And evidently Merlvale
had not the least remembrance Of
him.
i am going to build myself a man
sion in my old age" he chuckled, and
l have seen your work Oh the Munich
pal building. 1t is splendid, sir. And

Eyes, GUILTY, MY FRIEND"
How a London Paper, by shrewd
Trick, Saved Itself From a Beat
by the Times.

The newspaper special, although
always the cutest of the cute, is some
times SCORED Off by a colleague.
For instance, Sir W. H. Russell, rep
resented the Times at O'ConnelPs
trial in Dublin.
In those days the telegraph was
not, says the London Chronicle, and
as his paper wanted to go one better
than the Morning Herald, its great
rival, Russell hurried back to Lon
don by special boat and train imme-
diately the verdict was pronounced.
As he got out of the cab in Printing
House square a nan in shirt sleeves,
apparently a printer, came up and
exclaimed $50 glad to see you safe
over, sir. So they have found him
guiltyY' Eyes, guilty, my friend"
replied Russell.
The Morning Herald came out
with the new of the bare fact as
well as the Times. The shirt-sleeved
man was a smart representative of
the rival paper.

/ want you to do something equally
good for me, because"-he paused-"I
am going to marry again, and It is
for my bride, Miss F~otheringall."
Loring could hardly repress the cry
that trembled on his lips. There was
only one Miss Fotheringall.
He sat In a daze during the remain
der Of the interview. 1t was evident
that Merivale knew nothing about the
divorce. But how was that possible?
Perhaps he had not associated him
with the name of Elsie's former hus-
band.
Then, could he afford to refuse the
offer? On the regular commission ba-
sis It meant a sun Of $4,000. And,
apart from the money, there was the
certainty that the work would bring
him numerous commissions from per-
sonal friends Of Merivale and 9th
ers.
When Loring left the office he had
accepted the commission. He heard
the bankers words ringing In his ears.
I'm not going to hamper you with
any instructions, my boy. Just build
the house as If it was your own, and
as if 1t was for your own honeymoon"
Loring decided that the chances OF
his meeting Elsie again we're very
slight. Undoubtedly, long before the
foundations had begun to be dug Meri.
vale would have mentioned his name
to his future bride. But the CHASTITY
irony Of the situation Knocked him. Il
was certainly a dreadful situation.
And because of its biting irony he
set to work to build just such a house
as he and Elsie had often planned. in
the days when he looked forward to
the success which had now arrived.
The time came at last when he had
the contractor at work.
Il don't want to see It until it's I'm
ished,' said Merivale to him. Never
mind worrying about my opinions,
young man. Just you get busy and
build q house that's weather proof and
has some stairs in 1t. and a kitchen
and parlor. and I'll let you do It in
your own way"

plans had been completed the house.

Mention of iron crosses recalls the
fact that one of the few civilians ever
decorated with the iron cross was the
late Archibald Forbes, the war cor
respondent, who received it for his
work in the FrancO-G German war, in
which he represented the Daily
News. 1t is almost needless to add,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, that iron
crosses were not scattered promiscu-
oualy in those days, and that to get
one was regarded as a high honor.

1t was some five days later that
Loring received his telephone call.
Meriyale was to motor out to the sub
urb and meet Loring, and he would
take him back in his machine.
Loring found that the banker had
not arrived when he reached the
place. AS he stood looking at the
house the bitter thought would intrude
itself upon his mind that it would
have made Just the place for Elsie
and himself. He had been thinking
of her a good deal lately.

"Elsie!"
And in that instant all the past was
forgotten, and they stood clasped in
each others arms. Merivale was as
completely forgotten as though he had
never existed, never come into their
lives.

they remembered. And Robert, re-
leasing her, looked into her face In
doubt and terror.

whispered.

The Age of Samuel Hanagid.

The Age of Samuel Hanagid.
The temporary decline of the Jew
ish community of Cordova was
compensated by the rise of other
Jewish centers, chief among them
Granada. Berber tribes and Berber
dynasty were now in power in the
southern part of the peninsula,
forming a kingdom that included
the seaport Malaga, with Granada
as it's capital.
Among those who fled from Cor
dova during its dynastic conflicts
and civil disturbances was Samuel
Ibn Nagdela, later known as Samuel
Ha-Nagid (the Prince), who set
tied in Malaga. In his youth in
Cordova he had received instruction
from the leading scholars of that
day and had become proficient lin
guist, having mastered not only
Hebrew, Arabic, Chaldee, but also
Latin, Castilian, and the Berber
language. He had also cultivated
Arabic calligraphy, an art greatly
admired in those days. These &C
complishments soon attracted the
attention of one of his neighbors in
Malaga, who was no less person
age than the vizier of king Habus
of Granada, and who to profit by
his ability, made Samuel his politi-
cal adviser. When the vizier fell i'll
and could no longer attend to the
duties of his office, he recommended
Samuel to the khalif, who appointed
him minister in charge of his dip
lomatic and military affairs. So ably
and wisely did he acquit himself in
the discharge of his duties, that all
the plottings of jealous Moslem RI
walls and enemies against him came
to nought. He rose to still greater
power under the son and success
sor of Habus, who, being weak and
pleasure-loving, practically entrust-
ed the reins of government to his
Jewish minister.
Occupying such distinguished
political position, he naturally be-
came the head OF the Jewish COM
munity of the kingdom, with an au
thority even greater than had been
possessed by Chasdai or Ibn Jan.

The Jews I'm The lb@riam Peninsula
By DR.. S. N. Deinard.

He was known by the title of
Nagid, meaning Prince, and was the
spiritual head of the community and
the president of the Talmudic col
lege. He was indeed distinguish
ed Hebrew and Talmudic scholar
and prolific author. He wrote an
Introduction to the Talmud, al Ing
to it valuable list of all the teach
ers Of rabbinic tradition down TO his
own time; commentary on the
Talmud, dealing with religious
practice and considered by subse-
quent generations an authoritative
guide; collection of prayers in the
form of Psalms, collection of par
ables and aphorisms, and one of
philosophic reflections, modelled at
ter the Biblical books of Proverbs
and Ecclesiastes.
With such an influential man as
Samuel as their chief, the condition
of the Jews of Granada was most
enviable one. The ruling tribes of
Berbers were more favorably in
clined toward them than even to-
ward the native Arabs. Upon the
death of Samuel his son Joseph Sue
ceeded to all his titles and honors,
and at the age of twenty-four oc-
cupied the position of vizier to the
khalif, and of Nagid of the Jewish
community of Granada. Being
equipped with sufficient rabbinic
knowledge, he, too, was the head Of
the college. He was equally we'll
versed in Arabic literature, and
Arab poets sang his praises.
But this period of brilliant sum
shine for the Jews of Granada was
not without it's threatening cloud
upon the horizon. Joseph was not
as wise in his political conduct as
his father had been. He was too
arrogant to his subordinates, many
of whom belonged to the ruling
Berber race, or the native Arabs,
and thus aroused their enmity. Other
chiefs and officials we're envious of
his regal estate. He appointed
many of his coreligionists to office,
and a near relative of his was given
q nositiOn next in Importance to his
own. Thus was the jealousy of the
