The wine was at her hand, and aha filled the beaker ana held It while he drank. Then she klaeed him and, biding her face In hie breast, wept toft teere. And, though he held her very close and had In hie heart a greet long? ing to soothe her, he could not speak. After a little ehe spoke. MI bed not dreamed that there wee snch artifice in Miriam. She told me of a nobleman that bad served God in Israel and waa in need of comfort la bis tent But she bridled her tongue and governed her expression no cun? ningly that I did not dream the hers waa mine-mine!'* Then on a sudden sue diaengaged herself from hta arms and, gaining her feet, cried out with her hands over her blushing face: "And now I know why she and Hur ?oh, I know why they came with me and broug'-it me to the tent!" "Nay now; may I not guess also?" Ksnkenee laughed, though s little pus sled over her evident confusion. "They had a mind to peep and spy upon our lovenia king. Perchance they are with? out this instant Come hither and let us not disappoint them/' She dropped her bauds and looked at him with flaming cheeks and smiling eyes. There was more In her look than be could fathom, but he did not puzzle longer when she came back to her piece and bid her face away from him. It Iii the love of riper years that makes the Hps of lovers silent But Kenkcnee sod Rachel were very young and wholly demonstrative, and they bad mwd of many words to supplement the testimony of caresses. They bed much to tell, and they left no avowal unmet le. But at last Kenkenee' voice wearied, and Itachel noted It 80 In her pretty authoritative way ehe stroked his lashes down and bade him sleep. When she removed her b?nde and clasped them above hie head, hie eyes did not open. As she beat over blm she noted with a great sweep of tenderness how young he was. In all her relations with Ken? kenee she bed seen him In the manliest roles. She had depended upon him. looked up to him, and had felt secure In hi ft protection. Now she contemplat? ed a face from which content had erased the mature lines that care bad drawn The curve ef hla llpe, the leiigtli of the drooping lashes, tbe roundneea of cheek and the softness of throat werej youthful?boyish. With this enlightenment her love for him ex? perienced a transfiguration. She seem? ed to grow older than be; the ma tern t! element leaped to the for**, their posi? tions were instantly reversed. It was? hers to care for him! After a long time his arms relaxed about her, and she undid them and dis? posed them In easy position. Lifting tbe fillet from his brow, she smoothed out the mark It bad made and settled the cushions more softly uuder his head. From the heap of coverings she took the amplest and the softest and spread It over him. Remembering that the wind from tbe sei blow shrewdly at night she laid ruga sbout the edge* of the tent, which fluttered In the breeze, and returned again to his side. After another spaoe of rapt contem? plation of his unconscious face she went forth and drew the entrance to? gether behind her. The next daybreak was the happiest Israel had known In a hundred years. Egypt, overthrown and bumbled, was behind them; God was with them, and Canaan waa Just ahead?perhaps only beyond the horizon. Few but would have laughed at the glory of Babylo? nia, Assyria and the great powers. For had it n a l>eeu promised that out of Israel nations should be made and kings should come? The march waa to he taken up Im? mediately, and In the cool of the morn? ing the host was ready to advance. Rachel had not permitted herself to be seen until the tent of Miriam was struck. She knew that Kenkenes was without, waiting for her. and with the delightful Inconsistency of maidenhood she dreaded while she longed to meet her beloved again. And when the mo? ment arrived she slipped across the open apace to the camel that was to bear her into Cnnann, hut In the shad? ow of the faithful creature Kenkenes overtook her and folded her la his arms. "A blesalng on thee, my sweet! And I am blessed In having thee once more." ' ludst thou sleep well?" she asked. "Most Industriously, since I made what I lust and overlapped a little, nd yet I was abroad tit dawn prowl? ing alwttit thy tent lest thou shouidst flee me once again. Rachel"?his voice sotiered, and Ids face grew serious? "Rachel, wilt thou weil me this day?" "If It were only 'aye* or 'nay* to he said I should have said It long ago," she answered, with averted eyes, "hut there are many things that thou shouidst know, Kenkenes, befofe thou den modest the answer from me." "Name them, Rachel," he said sub? missively, "but let me say this first: Mine eyes sre not mystic, but most truthfully can I tell this moment which of us twain will rule over my tent." "And thou art ready for the tent and shepherd life of Israel?" she asked gravely, but before he could answer she went on: "ll?e ma Hrmf SV? torwlfw K.. ?? ??>,,.! ? of m? q ? mud bast th?>u an- r' Xai< I Bead i jr my sake, that it were unkind I to bind th<* to me in the lifelong sac? rifice and lifelong hardships that I may , know. Thine enemy and mine Is dead, I And Egypt rid of him. There is much In Egypt i prosper thee; there thy state is high, there thou hast opportu nlty and wealth. Israel can offer thee God and me. Even the faith thou couldst keep lu Egypt, so thou wert watchful. And, further, thou art tbo murket's son, and building takes the place of carving for thee now. But here, O Keukenes, thou must lay thy chisel down forever, for the faith of the multitude, go newly weaned from Idolatry, Is too feeble to be tried with the sight of Images." Kenkenes heard her with a passive con nie nance. She gave him news In? deed?facts of a troublous nature, but he held bis peace and let her proceed. "And this yet further. Once in that time when I was a slave and thou my master and loved me not"? His dark eyes reproached her. "Didst love me, then, of a truth? But It matters not, and yet," coming closer to him, "It matters much! In that time ere thou hadst told me so we talked of Canaan, thou and I. 1 boasted of It being but newly filled with it and freshly come from Caleb, who taught oa. Then Israel was euslaved and not yet so vastly helped by Jehovah. But alas! I have seen Israel freed, and, at? tended by its God and by the tokens of its conduct Israel is fur, fur from Canaan. I am of Israel and whosoever weds with me will be of Israel likewise. It may not be that I shall escape my people's sorrows. Shall I bring them upon thy head also, my Kenkenes?" After a little be answered, sighing. 'Thou dost not love me, Rachel." "Kenkenes!** "Aye, I have said. Thou wouldst send me away from thee, back into Egypt." "Oh, seest thou not? 1 would have theo know thy heart I would not have thee choose blindly. I do but sacrifice myself," she cried, panic stricken, "And yet thou wouldst deny me that same delight of sacrifice. Can I not surrender for thee as well?" She drooped her head and did not an? swer. "Ah, thou speakest of the benefits of Egypt** he continued. "What were "From that moment I luxve been tku wife/" Egypt without thee save a great dark? ness haunted and vacant? Besides, there Is no Egypt beyond this sea. She hath risen and crossed with Israel?all her beauty and her glory and her beneficence. For thou art Egypt and shalt be to me all that I loved in Egypt He took her hands. "Why may I not as Justly doubt thy knowledge of thy heart?" he asked softly. ' Seeing that she surrendered, he per dsted uo further In his protest. "When wilt thou wed mo, my love?" She drew bad; from him a little, though she willingly left her hands where they were, nud Keukeues, noting the flush of ner cheeks, the pretty grav? ity of her brow and the well known air me assumed when she discoursed, smiled and said fondly to himself: "Br the signs, I am to be taught something more." "Thou knowest my Kenkenes," she began, "the Hebrews are married sim? ply. There are feasting and dancing, and the bride is taken to the house of her father-in-law. Thereafter there Is still much feasting, but the wedding ceremony Is doue at the home bringing )f the bride." "I bear," said Kenkenes when she paused. "I am without kindred, thou art here without house. Then? can be no wed? ding feast for us, nor dancing nor singing, for Israel is on the march." "Of a truth," Kenkenes assented. "So there is only the essential portion of the ceremony left to us?the home bringing of the bride." "It is enough," said Kenkenes. "Hur and Miriam brought me to thy tent last night." With his face lighting, Kenkenes drew her to him and put his arm about her. "8o !f thou wilt we shall say?that? from?that moment"? Her voice grew lower, her words more unready and failed altogether.

' 'Always remember, my little daughter, no wrong can ever be made a ti^ht,' he said. 'The south does not wish her rights to come through das? tardly murders, but through fair fights.' "Then he sighed heavily, and said: M 'This Is the bitterest blow that could have ben dealt .to the southern cause.
