 aThere are tales in Jerusalem, he said, "that thy friend is wicked woman. It is told that her husband has returned to Rome g broken man."

 Joel had married his brothers widow. She was beautiful even despite her sturdines, he had de- cided. Life could be interesting with Michal as his wife. At any rate he would deny her the dubious pleausre it might be to loose his shoe and shit in his face. as was the custom when the nearest relative of the dead refused to marry the widow and raise up seed to the departed. But he still was not certain wheth- CT in her heart she scorned Jon athan's brother.
 sThou has borne me no son, nor art likely to-" he derided. Michal, the kings daughter, scorning her husband"
 Her eyes became speculative. Did she dare tell Joel why she had permitted Drustls to take Malachi to Rome? Would he understand why she allowed the virtual Kidnapping from Jonathan's relatives of Jo1a- than's son?
 Michal knew the answer to that. Knew that her decision had been contrary to custom and tra- dition. Yet Joel was loyal. she conceded. However bitter he might be against herself he had not betrayed to his people. that he had been unadvised anc unconsulted when she had permitted the depart ure of the lad. He had contrived to have the boy remain with her at their dwelling while he himself took the flock to pasture, nor how he had returned at evening to find Malachi had accompanied the Roman party which journeyed that day to Joppa to embark for Rome.

It is Herod's order that all Hebrew male children under two years be slain. Michal addresses herself to Drusus, their leader, who Is known to her. She points to re- gently planted acacia tree, and re- calls to him that 1t is the Hebrew custom to plant an acacia only on the birth of daughter. !. Moses, seeing m acacia tree ein- blazoned with tine glory of his lord, had been ilnpelled to remove the shoes off his feet. Michal, in like amaze, put from her heart the ra11- cor and bitterness of the past, ac- cepting at last her husbands au- thority.
 True, the acacia was not at this time burning bush, but despite its rough uprooting ano replanting, the thorny wild tree showed not sign of wilting, rather 1t promised soon to shake its long milk bloom from slender limbs. From out the bush once more the voice of Elohim had spoken. The Romans, hearing, had ridden away. And the place where she stood, to Michal, was holy ground
 Her cry for Joel echoed in her heart, and Michal placed the child upon the ground again, memory replacing the scene just passed with one wherein she had walked in the courtyard to meet her shepherd husband and their talk was of another child.
 Joel was angry, she had noted, and he gave no answer to her greeting, speaking as though their conversation of some hours ago had not been r1dely interrupted.
 'He was obedient unto me as a son to his father" Joel sesd of this other child. "And tlEough thy folly he is lost to me-"
 Michal's little hand caught in her curls. She faced him reso- lutely. "He was thy herdsboy," she declared.
 ''He was my brothers son, and thine" he rebuked her.
 "He was Jonathan's son." she said stubbornly.
 "So that thou hated him." her husband guessed. "So that thou hast sold him to the Romans"
 She protested bitterly. He was not sold, he went willingly to learn in Rome"
 "He was kidnapped" the shep- herd said furiously. And thou hast surely sold thy son to strang- ersl"
 'He was Jonathan's son!" she cried. Thou vert serving in the Roman army whence thou had been called, thou knowest not !"
 Knowest not what, Michal?"
 "Knowest not how thy brother had become. Thou canst not know that I would rather have died than bear a son to be raised as seed to Jon athan!"
 "Yet thou hast permitted Mala- chi to be taken to Rome. If aught happens to him in that strang land, the seed of Jonathan perishes."

today and sent patrols stab

Nazis had withdrawn after

Germans still were on the south
bank of the Arno) without damage
to architectural buildings OF the
city. -.----- s..-,,.---,..-----
He has thus enjoyed unlimited
use Of bridges over the Arno And

military value, to deny us use OF
bridges which up to now he has en-
joyed."

not hold up the Allied advance for
long or have any bearing on future
operations.
The Allied statement threw but
little light on the military situa-
ton inside Florence-not saying
whether enemy troops had with
drawn entirely from the northern
part of the city-but continued al
length on German vandalism.
