DRINCE SETI, heir to, the
throne of Egypt, forms a
- strong liking for Ana, a
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 brutally 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
MS father sends him into Goshen
to investigate the tales Of injustice
to the Hebrews. With him, lest he
be too tender-hearted, is sent his
cousin, Amenmeses.
To insure the royal succession
Pharaoh commands the marriage
of Prince Seti with his half-sister,
Princess Userti. Bakenkhonsu and
XII, wise men Of the court, warn the
Prince of impending dangers in his
mission among the Hebrews. Ac-
eOrdingly the Princess gives Seti
and Ana coats of mail and swords
for their protection. For eight days

ming Seti and Ana find Merapi lost
and hurt. They bring her home,
thereby awakening 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 lie
is saved by Merapi whom he takes
with him to the palace. Pharaoh
desires to punish the Hebrew ma
ton with death, Or more grieVous
enslavement, but Seti objects and
the matter is left for the next coun'
Gil TO decide.
To prove the supremacy OF JAN
veh, Merapi undergoes a test In the
temple which results in the down
fall of the god Anon. At the meet
ing Of the council Seti refuses ms
consent to the massacre OF the
Hebrews. Pharaoh deposes him
and makes Amenmeses heir to tne
throne. Then Pharaoh has a stroke.
That night Pharaoh dies sud
denly and Seti departs for Mem
phis where he lives quietly with
Ana and Merapi. Userti refuses
to accompany him and remains
behind in the palace, where
Amenmeses is later crowned Pha-
raoh. During the coronation cere-
monies the two Hebrew prophets
again force their way into the
hall, causing great confusion.

only was he greatly stirred; it
was when repeated to him
the words of Userti, that never
would she look upon his face again

tears came into his eyes, and, ris-
ing, he walked up and down the

Israelites were sure that he would

He looked at me in his calm fash

Then he looked at the cedar wand

the elders angry with the Prince
over this matter. They said that
their messenger had exceeded his
authority, since they had never told
him to curse Merapi, and much less
to attempt to kill her. and that the
Prince did right to slay one who
would have done murder before his
royal eyes. Still, they added that
the curse, having once been spoken
by this priest, would surely fall
upon Merapi in this way or in
that"

Jabez?"

"And what would You do If you

was, and make myself very der

curse may pass her by, since it
was not lawfully decreed upon her.

An evil thought came in
to my mind, sent by
Set. Suppose that this

that she loved it because

"Let it go free and happy,

it had sailed from sight,

is a good law and must be enforced,

weeds were overlooked in cases where
they were not cut, that it will be done

good excuse, but now the war is over,
