My limbs would swell and I had rheumatism in my arms and hands. My hands would swell and joints would be 'so sore and stifl I could scarcely do my work. They would pain me something awful. I doctored but without relief. At last I saw ‘Anuric ' advertised. I began its use and two bottles completely cured me of all my rheumatism.- and I think it was pe'xunent for that was a. year ago and I have never had any return of this ail- ment.

Not only for his money, but for his good looks. was Put popuo tar with the two score or more of fash- ionable ladies who found the house and garden of Nadina a comfortable rest- ing place. Hadramut. an Arab horse dealer. who gambled heavily with Put an the dice table; Parsodias. a Mede. who tarried in Jerusalem on a secret mission. and Madia. the Egyptian, were other friends who spent much time in the home of Nadina. All“ it was indeed a strange com- pa“) who frequented the house 01‘ Na. dum. The favorite ot the visitors was Put. the sun of the wealthy Absalom. CHAPTER VI. "In tho house of Nadinal' OR days and night) Jether lived in the house of Nadina and counted neither cost nor time. Days of heavy and muddy- ing sleep were followed by nights at drinking and carousing, of dicing with the men of the gay throng who tro- quented the house of Nadina and of wonderful hours spent in the company or Tisha. who for his sake abandoned all others and listened not when they gzli. a stern and Suleum s'isaged Ju- doan.

But .letber. overcome by the fumes or wine. laughed. “What matter?" he cried. “What if they d0 worship these things of stone and wond Does that make Tisha less fairer“: I (-are not, I myself am a JD- dean." And there, too. came Sadyk, the jew. eler, the crafty old man. with his wares always in the case befoxe him hanging from his shoulders. Before and after each visit he spoke quietly and secretly with Nadina and after a purchase by one of the men or a bauble or a golden bracelet for one or the young women Sadyk would give Nadina several coins for herself. Haggai shook his head sorrowfully and went his way. As for Jether. though his store or gold in the teak wood box was fast di- minishing and he now hesitated to count the remaining shekels when supreme in the household. For more days and nights than he could easily reckon he had lived there and cared naught for the future in spite of the warning of Tola that some day his store of gold would be exhausted and he should make plans to replenish his supply by sending word to his father in Hebron. Thus It happened that one day as late in the afternoon Jether lay sleep- ing heavily upon a divan in the garden. with Nadina’s handmaiden Borsippc lazily tanning him with a great ostrich feather fan, Ahab. the servant of the wealthy Put, entered through the arch- “Nay; I may not waken him,†ex. plained Borsippa “I do but keep the men and bees away while he sleeps, for my mistress.
