N all Judea there was not a more devoted wife and mother than Buldah. she who had been united in marriage to the patriarch Jesse for more than forty years. With her husband she had resided nearly a halt century in that same great stone house which Jesses father’s father had rear ed and made the center of a vast esp tate. Here her boy Gaal had been born forty years before. and here he had attained man s estate and grown to middle age. Here too late In life, had been born the younger son. .lether, regarded by both Buldab and Jesse as God’s most sacred gift to them in their Buldah loved her boy Jether. No greater an'ection was ever borne by a mother for her youngest than the deep. undying devotion of Huldah for. this boy. Therefore when Jether decided to make his appeal to the mother tn- Itead of to the stern and aged Jesse the boy knew that his plea would not he passed over lightly. From within the window was heard the patient. softly modulated voice of the mother as she asked: . “What is it. my boy?” Jether answered impatiently: done. quickly." Down the stone steps he ran hur- riedly and paced anxiously‘to and fro upon the turf. In a few moments the tall and stately mother. embodiment of all that seemed best in wonderful motherhood. caressed the boy and be- stowed upon his forehead a sacred “Thou art flushed, my boy!” exclaim. ed Huldah anxiously. “Thou wert not clothed for such a chill night upon the . hill. I have often warned thee against the sudden cold. Another time i shall not let thee go until with mine own eyes I see thee warmly clad." Jether impulsively broke away from the affectionate embrace. “Thou. too. wouldst tell me what to do.” he declared angrily. -. .-- .9 “Even as thou regardest me. so does my father,” continued J ether. turning to her passionatelyâ€"“a child to do as hidden. But i tell thee. mother, 1 am a man. and as a man others seek speech of me. Even now one who has traveled and has great friends in many cities awaits my companionship on a long journey." “My son!” Huldah was both our prised and hurt at the outburst. Almost struck dumb by a sudden fear that perchance the lad might be in earnest. Huldah drew back in ten ror. but strove to hide her anxiety. “Thou but sayest that to plague thy mother.” she said tremulonsly. “To morrow is a holy day What man would travel upon it?" replied 1 “One day is like another." Jether. "Jether"- “Thou knowest now. mother. and l 1 would have thee get my portion from ' my father. Thee he would not refuse." l With a half stifled moan Huldah ‘ sank upon the edge of the well and ; clasped her hands piteously. So. then. 1 the boy was in earnest he really . meant to leave herâ€"and he now want- ’ ed his share of the estate which some ' day would be his and Gaal‘s. "Thou wouldst go afar and demand- = est thy portion?" she temporized. “Even so." Struck by a sudden thought. the voice of Huldah grew hard and stern. “Who is thy friend. Jether. was never thine." . “Have 1 not always wanted to he {seek for pleasure protested. * why not there? i : more. hating.' the morning. for it breeds the glow tifrthe full rush of life. and chen at last--ah. then. nmther. then I : shall live!" impulsively the lad dropped upon .his knees and buried his head in his mother's lap. tears Nimitz: from sheer joy at the prospect before him.

Thou shalt not start forth in sin upon a holy day." Jether averted his face and said sulkily: “Get me my portion or I go~with° out it." Huldab clasped her hands nervously. The boy meant what he said.
