We descended from the chariot, where,
for my part, would have remained, and
walked through the gateway in the sur
rounding mud wall into the outer court
of the temple of the Hebrews, which on
this the holy seventh day Of the Hebrews
was full of praying women, who feigned
not to see us yet watched us out Of the
corners of their eyes. Passing through
them we came to doorway, by which we

But instead he turned to Kohath and asked
quietly if this ordeal was now finished, as
he desired to make an offering to the
temple and begone.
"Our God has given his answer" said
Jabez. Accept it, men of Israel"

the afternoon we drove thus, preceded by
the two soldiers disguised as runners and

me, by the captain and his chariOts.

was strewn with huge boulders and lined
with ridges of sandstone.
Leaning against one of these ridges we
looked back upon a wondrOus sight Far
away across the fertile plain appeared the
town that we had left, and behind it the
sun sank. II would seem as though some
storm had broken there. although the
armament above us was clear and blue
At least in front OF the town two huge
pillars of cloud stretched from earth to
heaven like the columns of some mighty
gateway. One of these pillars was as
though it were made of black marble, and
the other like to molten gold. Between
them ran road of light ending in glory.

CHAPTER VII (Continued)
The Ambush.

T HAT night told the Prince all that
had passed. he listened, and said:
Il grieve for the lady Merapi, for
hers is like to be a hard fate. Yet" he
added laughing, perhaps it is as well for
you, friend, that you should see no more
Of her who is sure to bring trouble wher-
ever she goes. That woman has a face
which haunts the mind, as the Ka haunts
the tomb, and for my part do not wish to
look upon it again.
Il am glad to hear it, Prince, and for my
part, / have done with women, however
sweet. / will'teI this Jabez that the pro-
visions for the journey will be bought
elsewhere"
Nay, buy them from him, and if Nehesi
grumbles at the price, pay it on my ac-
count. The way to a Hebrews heart is
through his treasure bags. If Jabez is well
treated it may make him kinder to his
niece, of whom / shall always have pleas
ant memory"
So the sheep and all the toodstuffs for
the journey were bought from Jabez at his
own price, for which he thanked me much,
and on the third day we started. At the

of this time the Prince spent in

WILSON SATISFIED
WITH PEACE RESULT
PRESIDENT RETURNING HOME
BELIEVING CONFERENCE WAS
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
Liberates Peoples Who Had Never
Before Had Chance of Liberty
and Bands Together People of
World to Make Peace Lasting

Paris-President Woodrow Wilson
goes back to the United States more
than satisfied, his friends say, with
the net results of the conference, and,
all things considered, it is his opinion
that the conference has been won
derful success. While it is regarded
as a observation-disclosures peace for Ger
many, yet against this it is held that
Germany committed a great wrong
and quite naturally and inevitably
must make just reparations for that
wrong.
But outside of German results. the
conference is viewed in presidential
quarters as Hberating peoples who
never before had a chance of liberty,
such as Poland, Jugo-Slayia and
Czecho-Slovaki Also, the conference
is credited with banding together the
regime enduring. Other large results,
it was pointed out. are the giving of
charter to labor, removing restrictions
on international intercourse and many
other interatioal results which can be
summed up as "a colossal business,
such as the world never dreamed of
before"
The peace treaty and the league OF
nations covenant should he ratified
without amendment, according TO the
presidential view as it is understood,
for certain definite reasons, namely
that if any one power seeks to make
amendments then the war will not be
over until every one of the 81 asso-
ciated nations learns the results of the
amendments. This can only be done
through the processes of negotiation
and it is held that the effect of the
amendments would be to keep the
United States out of the treaty and
out of the league.
The question has arisen whether res
ervations amount TO amendment, and
presidential quarters are understood to
hold that reservations, such as the pro-
posed Root reservation to article ten
of the covenant. are equivalent TO
amendment.

PALMER STAYS THE
BAN ON LIGHT BEER
WARTIME PROHIBITION is IN
EFFECT, BUT BREWERS WIN
TEMPORARY VICTORY
Advocates of Dry Measure Will Make
Fight to Bar Manufacture and Sale
of Beer Containing More Than
Half Percent Alcohol.

Westinghouse wartime prohibit
ton took effect on June 30, the de-
partment of Justice announced that its
agents throughout the country would
not attempt to stop the sale of "a
per cent beer.
This eleventh hour development, a
flat reversal of an earlier ruling by
the department, was due to the uncer-
tainty as to how the federal district
court Of New York might rule on a
pending claim by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
Intoxicating.
RNt while this uncertainty existed
as to beer of lighter alcoholic percen-
tage than that sold heretofore, full
warning was given that with respect
to whiskey and all beverages as to
whose intoxicating powers there was
no doubt, every government agency
would be set to work in a determined
effort to prevent their manufacture
and sale.
How long the sale of 2% per cent
beer might continue would depend
ordinarily upon the speed of the
courts, but congress, meanwhile, will
step to the front in an effort to com
plete the effectiveness of the wartime
law.
When word spread Monday that the
attorney general, by his ruling, had
permitted beer saloons and breweries
TO remain in operation, members of the
judiciary committee counted noses to
find sufficient number ready to go
to the front to demand separation of
the enforcement measures, so as to get
through at once a bill that would stop
the sale of all beer containing more
than one-half of one per cent alcohol
