During the thirty years of /his life he had walked uprightly according to the teachings of the Alkoran. In the springtime Pen Urisself was sent to Jerusalem by the sultan's gov- ernment. He had not -long been in the ancient city of the Jews before he saw and loved a beautiful Jewish maiden named Rachel. According to the custom of his people, len Urisself at once made overtures to have the of was arem, bit, although the family Rashel was very poor, his offer rejected with scorn. Moved by the beauty of the maiden, he did not seek to force his attentions by the exercise of his official au- but disguised himself a humble pilgrim and suceveded in ma- ing the acquaintance of the object of his affection and by his fine personal appearance and pleasing manner won her heart. Now, Rachel, although of Jewish sarentage, was a Christian, afd, un- ser her influence © and amid the sur- mado sacred by the life and Man of Galilee, Ben became a comvert the faith and renmunced Mo ns death of the Unrisself Christian hammed. | His apostasy reached the ears of the "wiltan, and an order for hiz ar- vest was dispatched to Jerusalem. A friend of the condemned man gave him warning hefore the arrival of the messenger, and he was able to make good his escape from Turkish terri- tory, but he was compelled to leave behind him everything he possessed and did not even havg an opoartumity to see and take leave of bis beloved Rachel. ihrough the long years of his exile he rover heard from hey, but = her memory never faded from his heart. For manv vears after his flight Ben Urisself lived unhappily, toiling in ab- ject poverty for the barest necessitios of physical existence, 2 Finally, when ho had reached . his seventy-third year, believing bimedi wnrecoguizable and being filled with desire to visit once more the spot where his heart had first opened to a human and a divioe love, he deter-| mined to return to Jerusalom. : Old and Sethis and possessing not money to purchase trassportation, iu was many weeks before Ben Urisnself approached the Holy City. At the close of a toilsome day's journey, footsore and faint from fa- tigve and hunger he reached the Da mascus gate of the city, but found it dosed, for it wos after sunset. Feeling incapable of much more ex- ertion he torned dway from the gate and, seeking a place of rest, started to climb the skull'shaped ' Mount directly east from the Damascus g - As be toiled wearily 'the hill he } i a fesble Voi aE ; to a il ba In the-fading light he discovered gn old blind woman sitting by the way- side. He bent over her, and she told him she had been wandering about for a long time. having lost her way, and no one would lead her to the gate of the city, : When she learned that it was night and that the gate was closed. she beg- ged him not to leave her alone. He was saoved by her helpless condition and took her by the hand. Thus the decrepit old man and feeble blind woman tottered up the pathway along which the Son of Mary had borne the heavy cross 1,800 years before. : When they reached the top of the mount they sat down, and the old woman, being very weary, fell asleep, but Ben Urisself watched. Just as the first ray of dawn glan eed above the eastern summit of the mount he saw by its pale light two blood red flowers supported upon white stems blooming near lim He stretched forth his hand and gathered them. One he laid in the open hand of his companion, and the other he held upon his own palm At that moment the first beams of the morn | ing sun touched the blossom.
