There shall BeNo More Doath" By DuldeDeaner

The upper room to which the
staircase gave access was filed
with sort of amber dusk. In its
built-out windows there was inlet
only single square of latticework.
Mating covered the floor. A low
divan laid with mattresses ran the
length of one wall. A lamp hung
by a chain from the doomed ceiling.
Above the doorway, on the inner
side, was written in Hebrew char
acters, "Hear, Oh Israel, the Lord
thy God, the Lord is one God"
Adah set down the water-vessel.
The dusk of the room was
thronged with visions. Dim yet
glittering shapes clashed cymbals
of triumph, held aloft the severed
head of tyranny or drove the nail
Of death into the sleeping brain of
the. conqueror. The girls small
hands that were clenched were
pressed against her breast. 81 also
could KILL" cried the voice of her
inner self. 81 could kill as Judith
did and joel"
The visions that filled the dusk
seethed like an aureate mist and
changed. She saw herself-her
garments redeemed with blood of
some Roman leader and a bloodied

with their sandy lashes held the
tortured expression of ecstasy.
Creak-k!
Again the we'll wheel COM
planned, as the two-handled water
vessel was filled for the second
time. Adah lifted it, setting it
upon her head. With her beauti-
full gait, as of kings daughter,
she crossed the court to the flight
of steps and began slowly to
ascend
Beyond, above, out of her sight
the battlemented SUBMITS of fort
ress towers, the gold-plated facade
of the Temple of Jehovah with it's
doors of gold and the tops of the
expresses and cedars in the gardens
of Herod the Great were suddenly
visible. The sun had risen.
There was a cry of trumpets-
a summons to the garrison, in the
fortress of Antonio to take up the
duties of military day. They
were the triumphs of Rome.
The girl, halfway up the STAIR
case, paused, rigidly statuesque
with the brimmed water-vessel
upon her head. Sparrows were
twittering on the roof parapets.
Street cries sounded.

One Minute, Rotarex, Sunnysuds, Surf,
Trojan, Voss-all say, "Use Rinso."
One of the most comforting things
about Rinse is that you don't have to
change any of your washing habits at all.
Do just as you usually do.
Wherever you would use bar soap use
Rinse. This new soap takes the place or
bar soap-does the whole washday job.
For soaking, for boiling, for use in
washing machines it is the easiest and
best soap you could use.
