Maryam silently arose and. going
to a corner, poured a cup full of wine
from a goat skin. Bowling before her
father she asked his permission to
offer it to Antonius.
For kindness and goodness to
those who are weak" she said. as she
handed the cup to the soldier.
He took the vessel and drank.

But you are good beneath your

He dropped the cup and passed his
hand over his chin. Il meant to

nothing to shave With!
The girl emitted a little sigh. "The
youth whom l met in the fields, and
of whom | told you, had beautiful
full beard" she said.
"Confound the YOUTH shouted the
soldier rs this youth to pursue me
wherever l go?"
Maryam cIasped her hands Have
you seen him."
NO" he growled. And I do not
wish to see him.
Her father was looking at her af-
fectionately. 1T is the rule of our

and mothers select the husbands for
their daughters. But the man I had
chosen fears to marry the daughter
Of an outlaw" He stopped to gaze
into the fire. $50, if ever we find
this youth and he is worthy l shall

The girl knelt before him, touching
her forehead to the ground. He raised
her with gentle hands. But first"

my daughter, we cannot seek him"
But ne is seeking u.s." she said
with simple faith. II know-he even
asked the Arabian woman about me"
The desert chief. sitting behind the

talk. shifting his gaze from one to
another.

sharply on the stone floor. They all
turned, and he beckoned to An

New York, Sept. 6.--LP)-Therc is
II new item among major expenses
of an American family today. ms
compared with fifty years ago. The
item Is the money spent on heat.
autos, gasoline, and labor.
Its existence was brought out by
the interest which the Pacific North
west Newspaper Association took III
Il recent repOpt from Cornell Agri-
cultural College, which gave the
actual expenses OF the succeeding
generation Of the same family. In
each ease the family numbered six,
three children and three adults. Both
lived on the same farm.
Increase Eight fold
The budget of this family for the
year 1880 was S3.l.45. while for the
year 1924 IL was S2.563.s6. The diff
ference is not all accounted for in
increased living expenses. The COM
Darison brought out many good
things Of life which the 1924 family
enjoyed. that were unknown to the
1880 family.
In the earlier. simpler generation
the major expenses were four: food
clothing, children and church. Each
or these items cost In tho year be-
tween $50 and 500. In the 1924
year the church dropped out ny u
comparative major item, even
though in 1924 more money was
given the church than In 1880 by
about 30 per cent. In the modern
year food. clothing and children re-
NAMED three OF the ma jor items,
but the fourth was the new major
and It topped all the others. In the
