When a long forgotten cousin in
Colorado died and left Miss Mitfield
a round 100000 the entire village,
after having recovered from the
shock, fell to wondering whether the
faded little spinster after having for
SO years pinched and scraped and
plain sewed just to keep soul and body
together. would. after all, get much
comfort from her eleventh-hour opu-
lence.
The state Of Miss Mitfleld's mind
was revealed when her next door
neighbor inquired what she should 90
with her money - did she mean TO
save it?
Save it," Her eyes flashed with
new found scorn. Listen to me, Bet

would cry, raising himself upon his
elbow, and looking up into Rachel's
face, his eyes aflame with Dreams
"Some day | will take his place and
stand at Pharaoh's right hand and
ride in his chariot when he goes to
battle. And | will become a great
warrior and the most powerful man
in Egypt And then, Rachel, will
take thee to wife, and thou wilt no
longer wear rags; nay, thou wilt
shine like princess in gold and in
snowy garments heavy with Jewels >
But Pethis," Rachel reminded
him one day, chow couldst thou
take despised daughter Of the He
breWs to wife?"
But Pethis was ready with his
answer. 81 will gain Pharaoh's ear
and beseech him to free thy people
that they may live in ease and COM
fort as they did in the days Of Jo-
seph," he promised.
"Then | wish that thou vert al
ready man, Pethis,' y sighed Rachel,
''for my people groan under many
burdens and my father says that un
less our God speedily sends us
deliverer we must surely perish.'
She grieved as she spoke, never
dreaming how soon that deliverer
was to come.
For ere many moons strange ru
mors passed among the Hebrews as
they toiled in the brick-yards, and
Pethis told Rachel of two strangers
who had appeared before Pharaoh
and demanded that he set the chill
dren of Israel free Then an age of
wonders began for Egypt strange
plaques which made the land desc
late and the people afraid, from
Pharaoh upon his throne to the
slave who ground the corn in the
courtyard. Yet Pharaoh would not
listen to the word of the God of the
Hebrews and permit his slave-peo-
pie to depart. The land groaned in
those days under new afflictions.
for all growing things sickened and
died; the locusts swarmed above the
face of Egypt; and, at the last, a
darkness SO terrible covered the
earth that no man among the Egyp-
tians dared to leave his house, but
remained behind barred doors, trem-
bling and afraid.
Safe within her fathers hut, for
there was light in the dwelling places
of the children of Israel. little Ra-
chel sobbed in terror. for she was
sore afraid; her mother wept also,

through the hot sands which
scorched her bare, brown feet, carry
ing loaf of black bread in her
basket and a cruise of water upon
her shoulder. Thus she and many
other young children of the House
of Israel brought food and drink to
their fathers and mothers and older
brothers, who toiled from sunrise
until far into the night in the brick
wards of Pharaoh, ruler of Egypt.
But one day it happened that Ra-
chel was somewhat delayed in
bringing the noonday meal to her
parents and brother, and she made
what haste she could, as she hurried
beneath the burning sun. But her
foot slipped and she fell, breaking
her earthen cruise upon the road and
spiling the water that was in it up
on the ground Then Rachel sat
down by the wayside and wept bit
terly; for she knew that ere she
could fetch more water and return
with it to her parents, they would
be back at their labors, and, fearing
the whip of the overseer, would not
dare to bid her approach them, no
matter how sorely they might suf-
fer from thirst
Then, as she wept, she heard a
kindly voice asking, "Why grievest
thou maiden?" and, looking up, saw
a youth of her own years standing
beside her. He was slim and grace
full and carried himself proudly,
while the golden girdle about his
cool white garments and the jeweled
band in his hair proclaimed him OF
some princely house. And Rachel
drew back afraid, for she had been
taught to fear every son of Egypt.
"Do not be frightened girl said
the youth, speaking softly, "for |
will do thee no harm. Tell me why
thou art weeping, and | will seek to
bring thee comfort, for no one hath
ever asked succor in vain of l'ethS,
son of Randor.'
Now Rachel was more frightened
than before, for Randor was chief
over the task-masters in the brick
wards of Egypt. and the children of
Israel had often suffered through
his cruelty. She would have run
away from his son but the boy de-
tanned her, and spoke comforting
words to her until she ceased to be
afraid. Then she told him of the
misfortune that had come upon her.
and wept afresh as she pointed to
the broken cruise. for she grieved

PLAYMATES IN EGYPT
A Passover Story by E. c. Ehrlich.


Ell her burning thirst.
But Pethis laughed little, and
drew flask from his girdle and gave
it to her, and fearing that it would
be late ere she came to her parents.
he himself sought their taskmaster
and bade him allow little Rachel to
go to them Which the man did,
though sullenly, for he knew that
Randor, the father of the youth, was
a mighty man in Egypt.
This was but the beginning of the
friendship between the princely boy
of Egypt and the little daughter of
the Hebrew slaves. Often as Rachel
passed down the road at noon after
bringing food and drink to the brick
yards. Pethis would start from the
bushes by the roadside and greet
her and bid her linger a while that
they might play together. For the
lad had no brothers and sisters of
his own and was often very lonely
for a playfellow.
First he would spread out feast
for her upon the rocks-Wheaten
bread and moist dates and sweet
wine-and she would eat and drink
and be satisfied, wishing that she
might save some Of the dainty food
for her mother, but trembling lest
any might come to know of her
friendship with the Egyptian prince.
Then, screened by the shrubs, for
the lad feared also that word mis- ght
come to his father that he spent
many hours with a daughter of the
Hebrews. the two would toss his
golden ball, one to the other, or run
races, which Rachel would never
fail to win. for she was as fleet of
foot as the wild gazelle upon the
mountains. Then, when they were
wearied with play at last, they would
cast themselves down to rest by a
tiny stream of water they had dis
covered among the rocks. Here
Rachel would weave garlands from
the flowers Pethis gathered, and
bind them about her dark head, as
she told him the stories she had
heard from her father-of Abra-
hams leaving his home for strange
country, and Jacob who dreamed OF
ladder down which great, white
winged angels descended as he slept,
and Joseph whom his brethren had
sold as a slave. In his turn, PethiS
would tell her wondrous tales of
the gods of his people and the deeds
of strength and valOr wrought by
the warriors of his fathers house.

ticket at the prima aries on June o. he
has issued the following formal state
ment of his withdrawal from the
race:
Some weeks ago at the solicitation

hermit the use of my name IN connec-

tor. The encouragement given me
and assurance of support has been all
that / could expect and OF nature
that I feel is quite complimentary,
but conditions have developed since
NV early decision that now appear to
make it inadvisable for me to con-
time in the race, and / have decided
TO withdraw, suggesting at the same
time that those who intended to sup
mort me cast their votes for Clarence
Hull who is a capable and worthy
anplicant for the position. / am not
unmindful of the many warm friends
who were supporting my candldacy
and 7 wish to assure these OF my sim
cere appreciation. There are times
when a candidate should look at the
larger welfare of the party and make
sacrifices along those lines. My with.
drawal is made with the belief that
the interests of the republican party
in Lee county, of which | am mem
Der. can be better served in the pres
ent primary election and is so taken,
with malice toward none and charity
toward all. The success of Mr.. Hull
win be a personal pleasure to me as
I am sure it will prove to be to my

NOTICE,

Attention is called to the fact that
it is unlawful to throw or burn grass,
weeds or other material in the streets
and renders the person so doing liable
to Imprisonment or fine. Great trouble
has been experienced by the city by
reason of persons throwing cut grass
and rubbish in the streets, and same
being carried into sewer inlets and
stopping them up.
The ordinance against throwing
rubbish in the streets will therefore
hereafter be strictly enforced.
