floors on which this drama of Bible mar
rative was played. There has been so
much sympathy with the consummate
cleverness with which the beautiful young
Queen played out her little plot to save
her people that, upon the part of one
portion of the worlds people at least,
there would be great sentimental salts
faction in walking over and over again
in the very footsteps of Queen Esther,
herself.
There has never been until now any
tangible proof of Esther's existence or
even of the existence of the King, Ahas-
uerus, except, of course, that story which
is found in the Bible. The arch@ologists
who have just returned from Palestine
are now preparing the translations of the
inscriptions, and will soon present ma
terial proof of the magnificence of Es-
theirs reign and of even additional evi-
dence that her conflict with Haman was
indeed veritable melodrama.
Near'the palace itself, 1t has been seen,
was the great capitol, or "Apadana,' as 1t
was called, quite distinct from the palace,
which has also been discovered and partly
rebuilt. A double gallery has lately been
discovered connecting the Apadana with
the palace, so that the fire set by the very
hand of Alexander the Great 1928 B. CO.
did not really destroy 1t, as has been be-
lieved. Some of the columns are still
standing, and the bases of the others are
in place.
Many inscriptions bearing the name of
Darius have been found among the ruins
OF the palace itself and when they we're
deciphered much of the history of that
time will be rewritten. In the latest
finds made is tablet of baked clay on
which Darius speaks OF the construction
of the palace, the materials used, includ-
ing stone, choice woods, &C. This and
other inscribed bricks found at the bases
of the walls prove that this palace was
built around 500 B. c., after the capture
of Babylon and the occupation Of Thrace.
II was after that time Susa became the
capital Of the Persian Empire.

delighteth to honor!" Then, said the
King, take Mordecai, the Jew, and do
what you have suggested. 1t is easy to
guess that Haman was delighted with his
task, so much so that when he returned
home, his friends and his wife warned

the King to lead him to the Queens BAN

the King again asked Esther what was

people at my request" When the King
Became enraged and asked who was plot

il was This wicked Haman." The King
was so enraged that he left the room to
walk in the garden, and Haman began
pleading for his life to Esther. The King
returning saw him throwing himself at
her feet in fear

prison. One OF the Kings chamberIains
told him Haman had built gallows for
Mordecai and the King ordered Haman
hanged on this. Permission was given to
the Jews to defend themselves on the
fated day, the laws of the Medes and Per-
slams being such that none could be al
tered, and thus Esther and her people
we're saved. They have celebrated this
festival ever since under the name "Pu.

schemer who became angered at Morde-
cal because the latter refused to show
him reverence which, as grand vizer to
the King, Haman thought was due him.
We are fully acquainted with the story OF
Haman's attempt at vengeance-how he
conspired to have all the Jews within the
domain of Ahasuerus slaughtered upon
certain day. Without naming the
people who were to become his victims,
Haman appealed to Ahasuerus and
pleaded that there was a people whose
laws we're different from the laws of the
Persians, and who did not keep the
Kings laws, and that he would pay ten
thousand talents of silver into the Kings
treasury If they we're ordered to be de-
stroyed. Neither knowing nor caring,
King Ahasuerus accepted the suggestion,
and the Kings scribes were ordered to
notify the governors of every province
to carry out this command upon a GER
tain day which had been determined by
the casting OF lots, which fell on the
month Adar. These lots were called
"Purim.'
When Mordecai heard Of this plot he
informed Queen Esther and urged her to
save her people, as she herself would also
be one of the victims, and that escape was
impossible even for the Queen. Esther
risked the displeasure Of the King by com.
ing into his presence unsummoned. but

The other buildings making up the pal
ace and the Apadana formed two great
structures, near each other and connected
by passageways. To the southwest was
the palace Of Darius l., to the northeast
the great hippostyle hall, or hall Of col
umns, the throne room Of the Apadana.
The palace was a large building, in
which we're no less than ITO halls, large
and small, always longer than wide
Some of these halls are cut up into
smaller rooms. There were six rectangu
lar inner courts, three Of which we're
very broad, thus affording light and air
to the rooms and halls. The four main
walls of the palace faced the four cardinal
points of the compass very precisely.
Three long corridors ran from east to
west through the palace, connecting all
it's rooms. The broad inner courts bios

and beauty. There were few windows on
the outside, so that the palace might be
the more easily defended IL attacked. The
walls without and within were adorned
with enameled plaques and bricks in
varied colorings.
One square section of the palace is the
vestibule OF the Genii, so called from the
decorations on it's walls. 1t has a small
clerestory by which light and air are Sc
