"Hullo! Blind me II 1t isn't
Venus! You didn't treat me right,
Venus. Why did you bolt when we
made a fair bargain"
Astarte said nothing. She began
to realize that this encounter might
be dangerous. She looked at the
man, noting his earrings. his peck
marked flesh.
Nothing to say, Venus? Hades!
a promise is a promise. What
about keeping it now?"
With a sudden forward lunge he
gripped her. The three men who
were with him laughed loudly.
Hand her to me when you've
done with her." said one of them;
''she's a goddess"
There was a resounding smack
Astarte had slapped the face of the
soldier who held her with all her
might. Then she ducked her head
And set her teeth in his wrist
With an obscene curse he loosed
her.
She turned to escape up the
street-but found the way barred
by the other three. She faced
them, the length Of satin stuff in
swirl about her feet, her loosened
hair ruffled like a shared birds
breast, her eyes furious.
Beasts! Dogs! Don't touch me!
Don't you dare to touch mel"
A door set deeply in a stone
doorway grated open. In the open.
Ing girl appeared, stretching her
head forward to look and listen
Her over-dress was of blue and
orange-yellow in wide stripes with
satin sheen. She had a brow
band OF silver and tassel-like silver
ornaments hung against her
cheeks.
"You devil" said the man who
had gripped Astarte.
He clinched, with her again. pin.
ming both her hands behind herr
back with one OF his.
There was Jingle of silver or
naments, a swish of whisking raj
ment, and the impact of a blow
given smartly with the nat Of the
hand.
"Pig!" said the girl who had
come from the doorway. You're
all pigs-the four Of you! IfIwere
your captain I'd scourge the hide
on you-and salt you, and string
you up to dry! Swine, vermin!"
The Washington times., 1921-12-25

street seemed at that moment to be
deserted.
This is the house." said Valerius.
He entered and Astarte followed
him. The negro remained standing
by the half-opened door.
Behind the door was a long room
ending in a horseshoe arch. It was
naked, and the dark doorways on
either side resembled upright
coffins.
They've stripped this place very
thoroughly" said Valerius over his
shoulder.
Astarte was interested. Every.
thing interested her. The boredom
and impotence Of the morning
seemed a year away.
She did not question why Vale
rius-whom she had struck in the
court of the myrtles for kissing her.
whom she had struggled with In the
hall of the feast-should desire to
speak with her, for she questioned
nothing, taking everything as 1t
came.
1t did not even occur to her--in
the novelty of the moment-to won.
der whether David had yet re-
turned.
They came out under the horse
shoe arch into a court with a tesse-
lated floor. The walls of this court
we're banded with broad red stripes.
A cypress rose like an obelisk hewn
from green-black marble.
At the centre OF an octagonal
sheet OF water. bedded in violets
and primroses, fountain yet trem-
bled like silver flower. The slant
ing amber light of the mid.after-
noon laid the shadow Of the cypress
across the fountain.
Astarte was delighted. This place
was as charming as the court of the
myrtles In the house of Herod. Her
whole nature cried out for many
hued flowers, pretty pavements, the
murmur Of artificially conducted
water.
The love of the soft life Of marble
houses, with It's assiduous care of
the beautiful body, its hectic ex-
elements, its delicious, sensuous
idleness-the life of her mother,
and Of her mothers mother, slave
dancers both-was In her blood.
She was as overwhelmingly
and mentally-to such a life as an
elegant, fawn-colored gazelle is ap-
propriate to the chamber of a Sat-
rap's favorite.
"Oh!" she said, Took at the
fowers!"
With little laugh she scurried
past valerius, dropped to her knees.
The Washington times., 1921-12-25

again, OlIeCtIy, III
Valerius. She was not afraid of
him. No. she was not at all afraid.
"Well?" he said. what are you
doing here. Astarte?"
Nothing. l wanted to walk-to
see the streets"
Il suppose you know that as you
are an escaped slave I should have
you brought back and, perhaps,
floggedf
AS he spoke his eyes held hers
and she knew with an unaccount-
able certainty that he intended to
do nothing of the sort. She smiled
frankly at him. There was a little
pause OF silence between them.
I'VE cannot speak here" said
Valerius. This is a detestable
quarter. But there is q house here
about that belonged to a Sadducee
whose property was confiscated by
the Governor. II is not far"
He turned and spoke to the negro
who held the horse. and the slave
led the stallion away.
Astarte found herself walking a
step or two behind Valerius down
the street up which she had come.
The second negro went before them,
clearing passage by striking right
and left with an ebony wand.
The sound of a conjuror's rattle
was audible as he squatted. himself
unseen, surrounded by a little circle
Of men and boys. But as Yalerius
skirted the group. Indifferent as a
contemptuous god, every head
turned and the rafting ceased.
Astarte was aware that no man
scrutinized her as, they had done
when she entered the street alone.
With a little stab of surprise she
realized that they were entering the
crooked way upon which the house
court of Dinah and Naomi opened.
She did not want to see the widow.
As they passed the tunnelarch that
gave access to the 'house-court she
looked straight before her, fitting
her chin upward ever so slightly.
Farther on the street turned to
the left. Valerius paused before a
door set in a wall. At word from
him the negro put his shoulder to
this door and forced II inward a
little way with some difficulty. for
II seemed to have been partially
wrenched from its hinges. Save
for beggar without eyesight, who
sat forward with dropped head, the

violence Of camel driver. Her
eyelids were blue-painted, her lips
inhumanly scarlet, and there was a
CLINT of gold dust on her cheeks.

voice, carrying final authority.

their heads lowered. A Numidian,
also in Herod's service, peered out
from the wine -den-and drew back
with the instant quickness of a rat
hearing footstep.
For some moments Valerius sat
his horse with the immobility OF an
equestrian statue, looking straight
ahead. Then he set a hand on the
stations shoulder and vaulted to
the ground. One Of the negroes
sprang to take the reins.
The girl who had encircled
Astarte with her arm regarded him
with a sort of defiance. She might
have been a mother defending her
whelp.
valerius looked at her.
What have you to do with this?"
he said.
DO! I slapped one of those pigs
on the jaw. The swine! heard
them and came out"

She hesitated a moment or two,
then released Astarte, and without
a word re-entered the deep-set door

the walls OF the
street, for its bales
almost brushed the
opposite sides of
the traffic gut as 1t came. Its
hide had been rubbed bald IN
places by the friction Of girth and
pack-saddle, and its eyes were
malevolent. Astarte regarded 1t
VITA happy interest.
When It had passed her she
walked forward, going in the same
direction. All directions were
alike to her. The street turned to
the right. and presently was inter
sected by another. which she en-
tered. This street Wis filled with
people. and It seemed to Astarte
that they were all looking at her.
She was not mistaken in this.
Her face. framed by her braided
red-gold hair, was as arresting as q
sudden display Of jewels in a beg
gar's lane. and no woman going on
foot In the lower town wrapped
herself to the chin In satin stun
hued like q purple violet.

Astarte took her way down the
street. Men astride Of mules or
asses stared straight into her face,
turning their heads back over their
shoulders when they had gone past
her.
Never before had she walked
alone IN the narrow ways Of a city.
She could stop II she chose-turn

Three or four Of Herod's mercen.

place. their breath favored with

"Hullo!" said one Of these, stop

Astarte also stopped. She was

In the first place, the House of Com

A COLUMBUS SHRINE
LANDING PLACE OF COLUMBUS
is ACQUIRED BY NEW YORK
KNIGHTS.

The Knights of Columbus of New
York, assembled at Rochester, in state
council, were proffered an opportun-
ity to acquire the authentic landing
place of Christopher Columbus and
they lost no time in accepting it.
Very Rev. Chrysostom Schreiner,
o. S. B., who is the rector of ST. Fran
els Xavier Church, at Nassau, Bahama
Islands, was present at the convention
and informed the officers and dele
gates that 1000 acres near Nassau, in
Guiding the spot where Columbus first
set foot on the soil of the western
hemisphere, might be purchased The
convention, by unanimous vote, au-
thorized the purchase of the property,
and it will be maintained in perpetu-
ity by the knights of Columbus of
New York State.
The Bahama Islands, while British
possessions, are under the ecclesiasti-
cal jurisdiction of the Archbishop of
New York, and it was for this reason
that the chance to acquire the land in
question was given to the New York
State knights.

FOR MARTYR PRIEST
MEMORY OFFRAY JUAN tF,ADILLA
TO BE HONoRED BY RESI-
DENTS OF KANSAS CITY.

A shrine to the memory of the
Franciscan friar, Fray Juan Padilla,
believed to have been the first Chris
tian martyr in what is now the United
States, probably will be erected by
Bishop Francis Tief, new head of the
Concordia diocese, in the approximate
spot where the pioneer monk was mur-
dered by Indians nearly 400 years ago,
in the vicinity of Junction City, Kan
IF the spot where Fray Juan Pa
dilla was slain, Or, better yet, his
grave, can be located, l intend to
have monument and bronze tablet
placed there said the Bishop.
Padilla is believed to have returned
to Quivira (now Kansas) following
the expedition conducted by the Span
