When the count and Chain came
into the garden hush fell upon the
gathering Every face was pale Ev-

the eW. who now began to walk
slowly down the line and to look into

seemed to see into their very hearts,

"Ies,' answered the count aloud

he restores the casket.'
Pointing toward the man who had
stepped forward, Chain said:
"This is the mani"
The peasant fell to his knees and
cried:
"Mercy, mercy, excellency. | was
tempted. Pardon.
"Get up. dog. You will not be
punished. Where are the Jewels ?"
Send someone with me and | will
restore them" answered the peasant
The count commanded two of the
servants to accompany the thief, who
went to his house and dug the casket
up out of the ground which formed
the floor of his hut
The great feat of prophecy was
handsomely rewarded by the count
and UNNECESSARILY increased the re-

told them about Chain Sch1neil-

Chains heart leaped with joy.
Drawing himself up to his greatest
height. he said in severe tone:
"Yea, know that thou didst steal
the jewels!'
The peasant burst into sobs, inter
mingled with cries of Save me,

"Rise!" said Chaim AS thou hast

The peasant fell to his knees once

The next morning Count Boris
butler came to Chain and asked him
if he had discovered the thief. Chain
told him that if the count would as
semble all the peasants in his garden
he would point out the guilty one.
In the afternoon the count himself
came to Chains house to escort him
to the garden, where all the trem-

were afraid because. guilty or not,
if the Jewish prophet would accuse
any one of them as thief the count
would accept no denials.
On the way to the chateau Chain
said to the count: "My lord, will
point out the culprit to you on only

"And what is that:'
"This man has repented of his
crime and will restore the jewels to

was sorely tempted. Does not God

tween the Jew and the peasant who
stole the jewels. These statements
led to heated discussion, and when
the company went into the drawing
room for coffee one of the skeptics
suggested that the best way to find
out whether the ew was really
prophet or only charlatan was to
test him.
Send for him. count the doubter
suggested, "and we will give him a
trial"
The count was willing and ordered
his butler to fetch the Jew.
The party then discussed the best
way of making the test, and finally
adopted the following method A lit
tie canary bird was to be taken from
its cage and placed in small safe in
the wall which was closed by Sc
cret panel, and Chain was to be ask
ed what had been done in the room.
The bird was taken from it's cage
and the count attempted to shut it
up in the safe, but just as he was
about to close the panel in the wall
the bird escaped and flew about the
room. 1t was recaptured with diff
ficulty, and a second attempt to place
it in the closet failed in the same
manner. Finally the bird was re-
captured and placed in the safe.
Then the count rang for Chaim He
entered, fearful and trembling, en-
barrassed by all the fine ladies and
gentlemen and could not keep his
gaze from the ground.
Now, Reb Chaim,' - said the
count in friendly tone, 81 want to
prove to my friends here that you
are true prophet. What is it that
we have done here just now?'
Rem Chain began to sway and to
beat his breast, but no inspiration
came to him and no sign was given
by anyone present. Finally in de-
spair he exclaimed:
1.-The first time he succeeded. The
second time he succeeded Bat the
third time he was caught
OF course Reb Chain was speak
ing of himself, but the company in
tsrpreted his exclamation as an or
acular answer to the counts ques-
1lon and all applauded. The count
made little speech, in which he
praised Reb Chaim, and all gentle
men present gave him gold pieces.
Then the Jew learned how near to
fixture he had been.
