A CHANUKA All STORY
Benjamin
By S. FREUDER

Rachel Benjamin was en-
barrassed, as any young lady would
be with two callers on hand, each
urging her to go with him to "a
grand Chanukah ball" Her embar-
rassment was increased by the fact
that both were eligible young men
with almost equal financial pros
poets. Nathan Adler and Gabriel
Herr were employed as statesmen at
a good salary. Neither had capital
enough to start a business of his
own, but the one had a wealthy
brother and the other a rich uncle
who might be willing to give lift
when the occasion arrived.
They differed nightly, however,
in personal appearance and DISPOSE
ton. Nathan was tall and thin, with
jet-black hair and coal-dark eyes;
Gabriel was short and stockily built.
His hair had a reddish tint, and his
eyes were blue: Nathan was a good
talker, positive and aggressive, and
a member of the Socialist party;
Gabriel was somewhat hating in
speech, modest in manner, and OF
an optimistic turn of mind. He was
an ardent advocate of Zionism.
Sparring for time to make up her
mind. Rachel invited both of them
to spend the evening.
"How many candles is it to-
night?" asked Mrs. Benjamin.
MAKE it five, mother" answered
Rachel.
"FiveY exclaimed Mrs. Benja-
min. "Half of the Chanukah al
ready gone, and so is half of my
life. It is just five years since your
father died. A long, dreary time.
What's the use Of Chanukah lights
in a widows home, anyway? A
thousand candles will still leave it in
darkness"

will be lis ht"

a commanding attitude, when you
are ready you may fire."

Mia fame, Joe was ready. Look

at this bright-eyed youngster OF
seven. He stands by his mothers
side, holding in his right hand the
Shammos (the servant" candle used
to kindle the Light and in his left
a prayer book, from which he reads
the benedictions in clear, self-pos-
sessed manner. His whole attitude
shows the proud consciousness Of
doing something which is usually
done by the head of the family.
Joe's act called forth two oppos-
ing currents of emotion in Mrs.
Benjamin's mind, namely, that Of
parental JOY and that of a widows
sorrow. She yielded to both. There
was smile on her face and tear
in her eye.
Presently Rachel opened the piano
and started to play the melody of
the Chanukah hymn, Mo'os Eur. AS
the strains of that simple but sweet
tune struck her fancy to turn back
the clock of time, she was a child
again in far remote country. Her
father was singing the Mo'os Eur,
in which she joined heartily. She
was playing again the Chanukah
games with walnuts for stakes, and
ALL the faces of her playmates rose
up before her mind in the most vivid
colors.
While the mother was reveling in
recollections Of the past her daugh-
ter was wholly absorbed in thoughts
about the future She has seen
twenty summers, which, according
to the East Side standard, means
that her springtime of life is nearly
past. Money she had none. The
few thousand dollars life insurance
legacy left by her father were spent
in her musical education, with the
understanding that she would help
support her mother and her brother
Joe by her piano lessons. Of course,
she could earn money by teaching
music even if she did get married,
and thus discharge her obligations.
The Chanukah dance, she thought,
might be the prelude to the wedding
dance. But which invitation should
she accept? She liked both Nathan
and Gabriel we'll enough, and could

other charmer was away.
These perplexing thoughts were
racking her brain while she listened
with apparent calmness and interest
to the lively discussion on the sub
ject Of Socialism and Zionism which
was carried on by Nathan and Ga
briel, who wed with each other in
extolling their respective causes.
A long and hot argument, tenn
pered by the feminine presence, was
interrupted by the appearance of an
elderly gentleman wearing eye
glasses, a kindly smile, and a neatly
trimmed beard whose color was that

he said, handing him small par

ooh, what is it?" cried Joe, hastily
tearing off the paper ut is Drehdel

"Tee-totum ?" broke in Nathan,
who prided, himself on his knowl-
edge of English. 81 never heard that
word before" and then, after holding
his head in his hand for a few
seconds, he jumped up, striking his
forehead with the palm of his hand,
and shouted gleefully: "I've got it!

to read in a pleasant voice:
