BY them was the bearded man who
had stepped back from her when
she entered the upper room. He
looked sourly at Cassandra as she
descended the steps. Water gourds
were fastened to the asses pack

Sparrows were twittering. The
discoloration of the grimed walls
that had once been whitewaShed
was visible in the growing pearly
light. Here and there were char
coal-scrawled inscriptions in He
brew lettering and in one place,
some person had written in Greek
characters, "Kythera loves Varus,"
and had drawn two hearts trans
fixed by an arrow.
She must find the market place,
and then-Jerusalem. The town
was awake. Bare-footed women in
dark draperies bore full water pots
upon their heads, returning to
their households from some public
well. Their hands, wrist-weighted
with silver bangles, hung lax at
their sides. Their sallow, aqulllne
faces were aexpressionless. Asses
went by loaded with onions, GU
cumbers and lettuces. The men
who drove them wore sheepskin
coats.

Cassandra was confused. She
was so utterly weary, her mind
moved so painfully all these
people were so pu'posefuI, SO
alien, so voluble over their own
afrairs in language that she did
not understand. She stood be-
tween a tethered calf and basket
of fish, turning her Swallowed eyes
from group to group, from loaded
ass to kneeling camel. Many
looked at her. she was shrouded

a massively built woman whose
reddish brown hair was cut short
just below the level of the ears
in the Egyptian fashion, her head
being bound about with a turban-
twist of silk. Wrappings of the
finest white linen enveloped her.
The Washington times., 1923-04-08

Her eyes were long shaped, more
green than grey; her face pale
and very square, broad jawed, and
her mouth as unrelenting as any
Roman captains. Only the basket
of fish was between them. Across
it their eyes met.
The woman who had invoked
the gods and furies pushed her
way past the basket and confronted
Cassandra. Behind her were two
negro servants.

"What are you waiting for?

Her eyes had narrowed. Her

that of a man who has CHANGED

doubted breeding and rapidly notes
its points.
The answer was automatic. Cas-

"AINTLY across the rose and
saffron of the dawn came the
bleating of many lambs.
They were driven slowly with the
slow-moving caravan Of pilgrims
whose road was the road to Jeru-
salem. All were destined for a
sacrificial death. Their atOning
blood, caught in gold and silver
bowls, would be outpoured upon
the altar where a nation wor-
shipped; their bodies, irnpaled upon
cross-shaped spits of pomegranate
wood, would be consumed as sac
ram1ental food. They were lambs
of God.
The advance of the pilgrims was
like the trickling progression of a
food that has spread out on either
side far beyond the limits of the

running parallel with the highway
along the gentle slopes to right
or left, where the rock roses grew
among the sparse grass, carried
its thread of traffic-its moving
figures leading their burdened
beasts by the halter. Every sem
tient thing within sight appeared
to be animated by one purpose.
The whole concourse had al
ready been on foot for nearly an
hour. When the lambs of one
flock bleated they were answered
by the voices Of others, before and
behind. The plaintive sound

Cassandra.
Her mouth was dry. Her head
felt both light and heavy-a
stunned sensation. Almost auto
matically she mounted the steps.
Under the arch was a door that
stood open. She entered a low
rooted room whose dusk was
lightened by lamp set on a round
table scarcely higher than a stool.
Three people were in this room
two women and a middle-aged,
bearded man. The women were
upon their knees, rolling up what
seemed to be bundles of bedding
and .raiment. They wore blue
trousers, white overdresses and
short, embroidered red jackets.
White wells covered their heads.
They sat back upon their heels at
sight of Cassandra, gazing as
though some unheard of animal
had intruded. The man, who was
nearest to the door, drew to one
side as if to avoid contact with
some uncleanliness.
Cassandra paused by the low
table where the lamp burned. AT
a soft word she let herself lapse
down upon a cushion. Bread and
wine were set before her. Being
hungry, she ate. The wine was
the unfermented juice of grapes.
Near the table the woman who
bad brought her Their? stood look
ing down on her.
The two kneeling by the half
rolled bundles spoke to each other
in undertones of Aramaic.

LOSES HIS ARM
ON HUNTING TRIP.
JOS. BUCCOVICH ACCIDENTAL.
LY SKATERS HIS ARM
WITH SHOTGUN.

While out in the woods Saturday
afternoon, JOS. Buccovich, the Is
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Buccovich, had the misfortune to
shatter his right arm when the IL
guage shot gun he had with him on
a hunting trip, was accidentally
discharged. 1t seems that young
Buccovich had placed his gun a
gainst some brush while he laid on
the ground to drink from a brook.
In some manner the gun fell to the
ground and was discharged, the load
striking him in the upper right arm.
The boy after being shot walked
a mile and a half to a road where
a passing automobile picked him up
and rushed the wounded boy to the
Shipman Hospital at once, but the
nature of the injuries were such
as to make the amputation of the
arm a necessity. The young man,
although weak from loss of blood,
did not become unconscious until
after being placed under the an
asthetic.
Reports from the hospital today
are to the effect that the young
man is doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected.
