Hail to thee, Amon-Ra," he be-

who unrolled the skies and built
the foundations of the earth. o
god Of gods, appears before thee
this woman, Merapi, daughter Of
Nathan, a child of the Hebrew race
that owns thee not. This woman
blasphemes thy might; this woman
defies thee; this woman sets up her
god above thee.

Roi withdrew and Seti stood for
ward.
Know, o god Amon," he said,
addressing the statue as though
he were speaking to a living man,
from the lips Of me, thy high
priest, by birth the Prince and
Heir Of Egypt, that great things
hang upon this matter here in the
Land of Egypt, mayhap even who
shall sit upon the throne that thou
givest to its kings This woman of
Israel dares thee TO thy face, say.
ing that there is a greater god than
thou art ard that thou canst not
harm her through the buckler of
his strength. She says, moreover,
that she will call upon her god to
work a sign and a wonder upon
thee. Lastly, she says that if thou
dost not harm her and if her god
works no sign upon thee, then she
is ready to be handed over to thy
priests and die the death of bias
phemer. Thy honor is set against
her life, o great God of Egypt, and
we, thy worshippers, watch to see
the balance turn"
Seti withdrew, taking his stand
by Userti, and Ki stood forward
and said:
20 Anon, thy SaCrificer, / thy
Magician, to whom thou giVest
power, the priest and servant Of
Isis, Mother of Mysteries, Queen of
the company of the gods, call upon
thee. She who stands before thee
is but a Hebrew woman. Yet, as
thou knowest well, o Father, in
this house she is more than woman,
inasmuch as she is the Voice and
Sword of thine enemy, Jahveh, god
of the Israelites. She thinks, may
hap, that she has come here of her

"She does well to keep there" |"
said Seti; Il think that II she came
out those priests would murder her
II they could. Also there are
others,s and he glanced back at the
chariot that bore Userti In state.
Say. Ana, can you interpret all
this mattere'
Not /, Prince. thought that
perhaps your Highness, the high
priest Of Anon, could give me light.

ders in thick darkness. XII and the
rest swear that this Israelite Is q
,sorceress who has outmatehed their
magic, but to- me It seems more
simple to believe that what she
says is true; that her god Is greater
than Anon"
"And if this be so, Prince, what
are we to do who are sworn to the
gods Of Egypt?'
Bow our heads and fall with
them, suppose, Ana, since honor
will not suffer Us to desert them"
Even II they be false, Prince?"
81 do not think that they are
false, Ana, though mayhap they be
. less true. At least they are the
gods Of the Egyptians and we are
Egyptians" He paused and
glanced at the crowded streets.
then added, "See, when / passed
this way three days ago was re-
ceived with shouts OF welcome BY
the people Now they are silent,
every one"
Perhaps they have heard Of
what passed in the temple"
Doubtless, but It is not that
which troubles them who think that
the gods can guard themselves.
They have heard also that would
befriend the Hebrews whom they
hate, and therefore they begin 70

when Pharaoh shows them the
way?"
Prince" l whispered, what VIII
you say to Pharaoh?"
That depends on what Pharaoh
says to me. Ana, IL / wiz not de-
sert our gods because they seem
to. be the weaker, though Il should
prove to my advantage, do you
think that would desert these He
brews because they seem to be

INJURED, and as we descended from
the chariot he thanked me with q ,
look.
We passed through the great hall
to that same chamber where Phar-
aOh had given me the chain Of gold.
Already he was there seated at the
head Of the chamber and wearing
on his head the double crown.
He ordered the door to be closed.
AS he did so, an officer Of the
household entered and said that a
messenger had come from the He
brews who desired speech with
Pharaoh.
Let him enter,P said Meneptah.
and presently he appeared.
He was a Wild-eyed man Of mid
die age, with long hair that fell
over his sheepskin robe. To me
he looked like a soOthsayer. He
stood before Pharaoh, making no
salutatiOn. -

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

n RINCE sETI, heir to the
throne Of Egypt, forms a
strong liking for Ana,
learned scribe, and takes him into
his palace at Tanis as his private
librarian. While walking through
the city they see an old Hebrew
slave brutaIly slain by an Egyptian
captain. The slain mans daughter,
Merapi, known for her beauty as
Moon Of Israel" appeals to Seti,
who promptly orders the captain
beheaded. In Pharaoh's court the
next day two prophets Of Israel de-
mand the release Of their people.
When Pharaoh refuses they curse
him and his land. At Sets request
his father sends him into Goshen
to investigate the tales of injuJtice
70 the Hebrews. With him, lest he
be too tender-hearted, is sent his
cousin, Amenmeses.
To insure the royal succession

Anon, as / know, that she is sent
by the great prophets of her pe0
pie, those magicians who guide her
soul with spells to work thee evil
and to set thee, Anon, beneath the
heel OF Jahveh. The stake seems
small, the life Of this one maid, no
more; yet it Is very great.
This is the stake, o Father:
Shall Anon rule the world, or
JahVeh? If thou fallest tonight,
thou fallest for ever; If thou dost
triumph tonight, thou dost triumph
for ever. In yohder shape of stone
hides thy spirit; in yonder shape

palace of Pharaoh, whittier ner
Highness, the Princess, refused to
be his companion, and for the tirst
time we talked together Of that
which had passed in the temple.
Have you seen the lady Me
rapi?" he asked of me.
I answered no. as was told that
she was sick within her house and.
Law abed suffering from weariness-
on knew not what.
The Washington times., 1919-04-20

we're closed as though she we're
asleep. Then Merapi said:
20 high priest OF Amon-Ra, has
your god worked his will on me,
or must I wait longer before call
upon my God?"
DO; what you win or can, woman,
and make an end, for almost It is
the moment Of dawn when the tenn
pie worship opens"
Then Mefapi clasped her hands,
and looking upward prayed aloud,
very sweetly and simply, saying:
20 God Of my fathers, trusting in
Thee, /, q poor maid Of Thy people
Israel, have set the life Thou CAV
est me in Thy Hand. If, as / be-
lleye, Thou art the God Of gods, /
pray Thee show sign and a won
der upon this god Of the Egyp-
tians, and thereby declare Thine
/. Honor and keep my breath within
my breast. II it pleases Thee not,
then let me die, as doubtless for
my many sins / deserve to do. o
God Of my fathers, / have made
my prayer. Hear it or reject it
according to Thy Will"
Once more there was silence.
Then again that wind blew, very
strongly, extinguishing the lamps,
and, as II seemed to me, whirling
away Merapi from where she was,
so that now she stood to one side
Of the statue. The sanctuary was
filed with gloom, till presently the
first rays Of the rising sun struck
upon the roof. They fell down,
down, as minute followed minute.
TIL at length they rested like
sword Of fame upon the statue OF
Amon.Ra. Once more that statue
seemed to move. thought that II
lifted its stone arms to protect its
head. Then in a moment with a
rending noise, its mighty mass
burst asunder, and fell IN small
dust about the throne.
Behold my God has answered
me, the most humble Of His ser
wants." said Merapi in the same
sweet and gentle voice. Behold
the sign and the wonder!"
"Sorceress!" hissed Userti, and
fled as did all the others, save
the Prince, Bakenkhonsu, / Ana,
and XII, the Magician.
We stood amazed, and while we
did so XII turned to Merapi and
spoke. His face was terrible with
mingled fear and fury, and his eyes
shone Ike lamps. Although he did
but whisper, who was nearest to
them heard all that was said
your magic Is good, Israelite,
he muttered, so good that it has
overcome mine here In the temple
where ! serve"

very low. Il obeyed a command,
no more"
Thereon he muttered some curse
which / could not catch, and van
ished away among the pliers OF
the sanctuary.
"Oho-hol" laughed Bakenkhonsu-
mot In vain have lived to be so
very old, for now It seems we have
a new god In Egypt and there
stands his prophecies"
Merapi came to the Prince.

said, docs It please you to let me

Princess Userti. Bakenl honsu an
XII, wise men of the court, warn the
Prince Of impending dangers in his
mission among the Hebrews. Ae-
cordingly the Princess gives Seti
and Ana coats of mall and swords
for their protection. For eight days
the Princes Court Of Inquiry listens
to the story Of wrongs done the
Israelites. In the desert one eve
ming Seti and Ana find Merapi lost
and hurt. They bring her home,
thereby awakenin:, the jealousy OF
Laban, her betrothed since child
hood.
Fancying Seti has desecrated
their Holy Temple a band Of He
brews attempt to murder him on
his homeward journey. His life
is saved by Merapi whom he takes
with him to the palace. Pharaoh
desires to punish the Hebrew na-
ton with death, or more grievOus
enslavement, but Seti objects and
the matter is left for the next coun-
Gil to decide.

Userti the Princess, high priestess
of Hathor, Lady Of the West, God
dess of Love and Nature. She wore
Hathor's vulture headdress, and on
it the disc of the moon fashioned
in silver. Also were present Roi,
the head priest, clad in his sacre-
dotal robe, an old and wizened man
with a strong, fierce face; Ki the
Sacrificer and Magician, Beken-
khonsu the ancient, myself and a
company of the priests of Anon

Presently from out of the dark.
ness that lay beyond the lamps ap-
peared a woman, led by two priest
esses and wrapped in long cloak.
They brought her to an open place
in front Of the statue of Anon,
took from her the cloak and de-
parted, glancing back at her with
eyes of hate and fear. There be-
fore US stood Merapi, clad in white,
with a white wimple about her
head made fast beneath her chin
with that scarabaeus clasp which
Seti had given to her in the city
of Goshen, one spot Of brightest
blue amid a cloud of white. She
looked neither to right nor left of
her. Once only she glanced at the
towering statue Of the god that
frowned above, then with a IttIe
shiver, fixed her eyes upon the Pat.
tern of the floor.
The head-priest, Roi. advanced
and, standing Lefore the
god, sprinkled his feet
with water and with
perfume. Then he :
stretched out his hands,
whereon all present
prostrated themselves,
save Merapi only.
The Washington times., 1919-04-20

among them so did the Others. 1
thought that its stone eyes ro1led,
l thought that it lifted the Scoirge
OF Power in its granite hand,
though whether these things were
done by some spirit or by some
priest, or by the magic of XII, do
not know. At the least, q great
wind began to blow aboutsth tenn
pie, stirring our robes and causing
the lamps to flicker. Only the
robes Of Merapi did net stir. Yet
she saw what l could not see. for
suddenly her eyes grew frightened.
The god is awake" whispered
Bakenkhonsu. "NoW good.by to
your fair Israelite."
AS he spoke the blue scaraHAeus
The Washington times., 1919-04-20

Then the eyes Of the statue seemed
to eeaSe to roll, the wind ceased to
blow, and again there was silence.
Merapi stopped, lifted the vim
pie, replaced it on her head. found
the scarabaeus clasp, and very
quietly, as a woman who was tiring
herself might do, made it fast in its
place again, a sight at which
heard Userti gasp. Her eyes were
shut. At length she opened them,
and turned her head.
For a long while we waited.
