He thought while.
"Maryam," he asked, have you
given up your thought of the youth
whom you saw in the f1elds?"
Her eyes dropped. NO" she said
softly, land I never shall. But the
Arabian woman came to me, her eyes
wet with sorrow, and told me that
she had deceived me. She had said
that he came to her-but she tells me
that 1t was false. I saw him only
once and sought him many days.

The soldiers f1attened themselves on
the ground.
A man appeared above them, the
light from the fame outlining In GRIM
son his tall form and crowned head.
He threw his arms aloft and called a.
solitary word.
The centurion touched Laila on the
arm and whispered: 1T is he!'
The men about the fire were dane
ing and chanting in a wild. barbaric
language. Softly the centurion re-
commenced his advance, Laila beside
him. They had reached the point
where Laila had rested before, when
the man upon the mountaintop
swung toward them.

voice, "and Laila. I bid you welcome!

The soldiers bounded to their feet
and charged. Omar moved his hand
toward the fire swiftly. The flame
leaped higher, burned blue, then
greenland then disappeared.
When the company reached the
ledge the stranger and his men were
gone. The centurion scuffed his feet
along the ground. There we're no
embers. Only dry grass and weeds
were under his sandal.
1T is as it was BEFORE" said Laila,
indicating the soil around them.
There was no sign remaining Of the
fire."
The soldiers ran down the path on
the opposite side. An hour passed
before they struggled in to report
that they had found no trace of any
man.
"A spirit" said the woman, draw
ing her mantle over her face. "A
spirit filed with wickedness and
hate"
Frowning and muttering to himself,
the centurion led the way over the
steep course to the camp. They ar
rived near morning, and without fur
ther word to his men than a curt
order to sleep, he lay down his mantle
and covered his face with his arm.

The Arabian broke in and waved
toward the centurion as he spoke.
He says he was questioned by the
officer last night and that he never
thought to mention Omar-he be-
lieved that Omar had come to him
with the approval of Rome"
Laila hastened away. When she
reached the officers side she pros
trated herself and, rising, addressed
him earnestly. He listened with
folded arms until she was done. Then,
shouting an order for his own inter-
prefer to come, he walked to the
Arabian's side.
With a few sharp questions he
brought forth the same answer that
Laila had received.
I'VE must find this Omar" he said,
with decision. Woman, do you know
where he may be found?"
She moved her head negatively.
"He comes and goes, secretly and in
silence" she said. HE pauses only
lor~ enough to drop words of poison,
suggestions full of evil and moves
upon his way. But I have a thought. :"
She pointed toward a distant sum-

A long tongue of fire arose, lighting
a cloud that hung low over Gilboa.
1t was on the ledge of which Laila
had told. Midnight was approaching
and below the rock a group Of Roman
soldiers crept forward, softly, so they
would not stir the bushes between
which they moved.
In advance Laila, a dark cloak
covering her head and body, crawled
up the path. Beside her was the CEN
turion. The helmets Of the men had
been left behind, so that no CLINT from
the fire might betray them. The
metal on their shields had been

The Arabian chief burst into an
excited flow Of words.
Laila listened. while Antonius
reached up and took her hand.

Her hands were clasped before her,
and her lips moved silently a moment

Laila, brooding, sat near the fire
and waited for dawn.
Soberly, when Antonius awakened,
she told him what had transpired.
He moves swiftly and he knows

She shook her head. II do not

Arising. she withdrew to the shelter
of a low, broad-spreading oak and
knelt there, her hands clasped before
her, praying. The soldiers who
did not disturb her. She had been
ordered not to move outside the camp
and so long as she obeyed the sentries
had been told not to modest her.
At noontime there was a. small dis
turbance at the border of the camp.
Two soldiers came, leading man
who stumbled and dropped, his head
hanging upon his breast, his beard
and garments coated with mire.
Antonius stared and then cried
aloud:
"The villagers who were sitting
around their own campfire arose and
hastened to the newcomer. They
threw their own mantles over him
and gave him drink out of their cups
and food, which they held to his
mouth with their hands. He was too

Wheat prices here finished at the
