CHAPTER |.
Midst the Hills Of Judea.

T He setting sun, disappearing
over the western hills toward
III the distant Mediterranean, cast
lcngthening shadows from the
great 1g tree which sheltered the arch
way in the garden wall. Far off in
the distance a single trumpet sounded,
faint and indistinct A nearer trumpet
echoed and re-echOed the sound. A
shepherd hidden in a nearby valley
took up the silvery notes upon his own
instrument and sounded the tidings
that the day was DER.
Upon the silken canOpied roof of the
house of Jesse, of the tribe of Judea,
a maiden sat embroidering a girdle.
She was fair and slender, with brown
ISL hair, which hung i'll two long braids
across her shoulders. But, while she
piled her needle industriously and
seemed devoted to her task, she ever
and anon shaded her eyes to gaze visit
fully out over the horizon. Far in the
distance the sheep were peacefully
grazing upon the hillside, even now be-
ing herdcd together by the watchful
shepherds and their dogs in prepare
ton for the coming of the night. To
the east and to the west the maiden
cast her eyes in vain, for what she
saw satisfied her not. To the north
lay Hebron, the ancient city where the
great King David had first reigned,
and beyond that-sOmewhere to the
north, so the maiden had heard-was a
great and wOndrous city of beautiful
buildings, great palaces, rich caravans
and fashionably dressed folk-Jerusa-
lem. But of all this the maiden knew
naught and had no desire to learn.
With a sigh she resumed her work
upon the girdle.
Inside the house of Jesse all was eX.
element, for the morrow was the
hallOwed day when none might labor
in the fields. The trumpets called the
men from the fields and the women
from their labors to prepare for the
evening mail which should precede the
approaching festival. In the courtyard
by the well the faithful Rissah, she
who had been in service as handmade
EN- to Hnldah, wife Of Jesse, these
many years, gathered up the clean lin
en- which had been washed by two
girls kneading the garments with their
clean bare feet in a trough Of water.
Nearer the house the women grinding
corn between two large fat stones had
already ceased their labors and were
gathering up the grain.
A trumpet blew again-nearer. 4
shepherd was bringing I'm part Of his
nock. Eagerly the girl, watching from
the roof, ran down the great eight of
Stone steps which led to the courtyard
and approached the newcomer

The girl clazped her hands together
nervously.

What Is Alfalfa?
! 1t is not a hay; it is a 1egume and belongs to the same plant family
as the pea bean, peanut, etc. Less than an acre was first planted,
but the yield for 1916 was valued at S1GOO0nO0o, and there are
/ now seven million acres under cultivation. 1t has proven unques-
tonably that the same nutritious and medicinal properties Of AL
4 FALFA that produce such wonderful results in animals are equal
1 ly beneficial to man. Experts say that ALFALFA contains a
| greater percentage Of nutrtive and medicinal than any otherce'eal.
