a. deep crevasse before they had been

The walls rose high, and when An

Around was absolute darkness. so

before him, nor Omar's servant In the

There came a scuffiing and the
rolling Of rocks. The stretcher was
swung sharply to the right. An
tonius could feel that they were de-
scending a deep declivity. The dim
light Of the sky disappeared. The
air about him was warmer, but
damp. smelling Of decayed fungus:

Aaron and the servant ana the 1oot'
falls of Omar echoed family.
This Is cave" Antonius said.
"Oh, most learned soldier. you are
right" said Omar, chuckling. Sucn

Antonius reached out his hands on
one side, and then on the other. His
fingers touched cold rock wall.
Presently he could see a reddish
gleam on the roof OF the passage"ay
above him. 1t grew brighter.
Aaron in the lead, turned a corner,
and suddenly they We're in a great
open cavern, in the center of which
burned a fire. There were ngures
moving about the blaze. Antonius
noted that the smoke rose straight
upward, disappearing in crevices OF
the stone roof.
A woman came toward them, her
figure black against the crimson
background Of the fire.
II am Maryam," she said gravely.

Other voices sounded just outside

The stranger stood beneath them,
and looking upward directly at their
hiding place. spoke softly:
"Antonius and Aaron"
He paused until the soldier had
answered: We are here"

down." commanded Omar.
Antonius' slid back the mass of
twigs that concealed their refuge, and
lowered into the arms Of the two
men who had first entered. They
laid him on the ground. carefully
handling his injured leg. while Aaron
swung lightly to the floor.

Omar went on. He pointed to the
long bundle that lay upon the
stretcher. Here is an unfortunate
that we picked up by the wayside-
take his place. He is dead. and will
not object
Antonius looked at the stranger
fnQutringly. Omar continued, in ex-
pianation: I'VE told the guard at the
village border that we We're bearing
our dead brother to a holy burial
ground. They inspected him, and
gave me permit to bear him through
Jezreel. And we got permission to
stop here at the inn-for prayer" He
laughed.
At a curt signal. his men un-
wrapped the body that they had
brought, and leaving the winding
sheet upon the ground hoisted the
dead man into the recess from which
Antonius and Aaron had come.

covered the dead man. How win
your servant escape from the inn?"
he inquired.
Omar showed his white teeth. my
servant" he said, will join us where
we camp tonight"
But how? They will seize him

the soldier.

He took off the black mantle that
the servant had given him. and wrap.

Picking up the poles at one end
of the stretcher, he waited until his
fellow bearer had raised the other
end to his shoulders. They set off
again, scrambling up the steep slope.
Aaron was in the lead, and asked
for no directions. They came to a
gully, heavily overgrown with brush
Descending to the bottom of this
ravine, Aaron dropped the poles Of
the stretcher from his shoulders to
his knees. Then, crouching. he be-

we have no vote, we invariably are
compelled to take what is given rs.

Underhill bin would give tie business
to private insurance companies. and
the Fitzgerald bill provides for gov
eminent administration. Big insur-
ance companies and the United States
