ROME AND THE JEWS.

The change in the relative position
of the ruling powers in the peninsula
was accompanied by a sad change
in the condition of the Jews. With
the beginning Of the thirteenth cen
fury their long-drawn out tragedy
commenced. And the sources OF
their sufferings were Rome and the
church. 1t is significant fact that
the first massacre of Jews in Chris
tian city Of the peninsula since the
Christian reconquest began was the
work of the crusading knights who
aided Alfonso in the battle of Las
Navas. They fell upon the Jewish
community of Toledo and butchered
a large number, and only ceased
their murderous work when Alfonso
himself and the native Christians of
the city interviewed.
But the real troubles of the Jews
in the peninsula as in all west Eu
ropean countries began with the &C
cession Of Innocent III to the papal
throne, 1106-1216. 1t was he who
inaugurated that ruthless and relent-
less policy of persecution and exter-
mination of heretics and dissenters
from church doctrine and of all who
in any way placed themselves in OPP
position to the will of the church
and it's head, that resulted in all the
horrors of the inquisition, the COM
plete destruction Of the Albigenses
in Southern France, and the slaugh-
ter Of tens Of thousands Of innocent
human beings on the altar of fanatic
faith. What his sentiments toward
the Jews were can be readily sur-
missed. The Jews were the arch
heretics from the point Of view Of
the church. Their very presence in
Christian lands was an atfront to its
claims and pretens:ons. Nor was
their example without its dangers to

the Arabs, were the torch bearers OF
medieval civilization, the represen-
tatives of the best scientific and phil
osophic thought that existed in those
DAYS. What if their heresles should
spread and influence the faithful OF
the Christian fold, even as they had
actually influenced the Albigenses:
Yet, to exterminate the Jews entire
w, which would have been an easy
matter for the church in the days OF
the crusading frenzy, Of the inquisi-
ton, and the unlimited power pos
sessed by the two militant orders OF
the Dominicans and Franciscans,
would have been against the best in
terests of the church, especially since
it was it's desire some day to be able
to demonstrate to the world the
miracle Of the Jews wholesale con-
version, the elimination of the
church's hopes and ambitions. There
fore, the proper policy to pursue was
to make them suffer, to torture them,
to degrade them, to make them the
worlds Outcasts. To this idea pope
Innocent III gave the fullest and
clearest expression when in letter
to noble who had shown himself
friendly to the Jews he wrote: "The
Jews like the fratricide Cain are
doomed to wander about the earth
as fugitives and vagabonds, and
their faces must be covered with
shame They are under no circum
stances to be protected by Christian
princes, but on the contrary to be
condemned to serfdOm :"
When fearing the fury of the new
crusading spirit that was being
aroused in Christian lands, the Jews
applied to the pope for protection.
he showed them his kindnes by pro-
mitigating in their favor what he
called Constitution for the Jews"
in which he conceded to them the
following privileges, that Jews were
not to be dragged by force to be
converted, nor were they to be rob-
bed, injured or killed without judi
cial sanction, nor molested during
their festivals by being whipped and
having stones thrown at them; that
their cemeteries were to be respect
ed, and their dead were neither to
be disinterred nor dishOnored.
Surely, the Jews had no reason for
complaint But lest such consider
ateness make them too proud and

THE WANE OF ISLAM'S
POWER.

The first half of the thirteenth CEN
turv saw the gradual ascendency OF
the two leading Christian states OF
Spain, CASTLE and Aragon, and their
rise to the most dominant position
in the peninsula. The Muhamme-
dan power declined in proportion,
and soon became an almost negll-
gible quantity. The last effort Of
the .Almohades to regain their lost
territory in Spain resulted in the
famous battle of Las Navas de To-
losa in 1912. A large army was
brought over by them from Africa,
in which all the races that protested
Islam were represented. The Chris
tan monarchs of Spain had good
reason to be alarmed when they re-
called some of the former exploits
of their Muhammedan antagonists.
Thereupon Alfonso VIII Of CASTLE
urged Pope Innocent III to declare
a crusade against the intidels, to
which request he readily yielded.
The archbishop of Toledo went
about from court to court soliciting
aid for his threatened flock. Crus-
aiding Knights from England and
France came in large numbers to fol-
low the banner of Alfonso. The
kings of Navarro, Aragon and Por-
tugal lent their assistance The for
tilted city of Salvatierra had already
been captured by the Muhammedans,
ard the Jewish community in con-
sequence destroyed. But the vic
torious army was soon met by Al
fonso and his crusading host at Las
Navas, in the mountainous region
dividing CASTLE from Andalusia, and
in that battle the Muhammedans
were completely routed. SO crush
inc was their defeat that never again
did any Moorish host from Africa
make an attempt to cross the strait
Alfonso died soon after his great
victory, and was succeeded by Fer
dinand III. The territory Of the
Moslems was still further reduced
by him when he captured Cordova,
the choicest jewel in the possession
of his enemies, and afterward Sc

that time. Under him Leon was

CHAPTER XXI.



Once again Poppy Ordway was back
at Daily's. Seemingly nothing had
happened in her absence. Sandry WAS
little stronger, bit more impatient
to be at the work, able to go about the
camp and the tilted meadow. He was
pale still, and to her passionate eyes
more to be desired than ever. She
noticed quickly how wistfully tender
was the face of Siletz, and how the
girl stayed apart from Sandry in a
certain diffidence. This was balm to
her fears and her anxiety.
She went back to her work with re-
newed vigor She was happier here In
this wild country than she had ever

PAINTING With AjrbruSheS,

Painting and vanishing of large
surfaces is now being successfully ac-
complished by means of airbrushes,
which send the liquid paint in a huge
spray all over the object.
At a big furniture factory in New
York they place chair upon revolv-
ing platform under galvanized iron
hood, in the back Of which is an cleo
trio fan drawing the air out into an ex-
haust nue, and in the top of which are
electric lamps in front of refiectors.
The painter stands with an object that
looks like pistol in his hand This Is
the airbrush, which is attached to a
tube leading from tank in which the
paint is under 20 pounds of pressure
furnished by dynamo and is kept con-
stantly stirred. On pressing the trig-
ger the paint Is projected like show
or bath all over the chair.
