Suddenly, with uncon- trollable rage, TiShl rushed behind the blond girl pulled her by the hair so that the fair one i Muluntarily shriek- ed and demanded of the giant: “What meanest thou '3" The girl who had been so roughly as- saulted turned to Pharis for protection. “Didst thou um :Mc me to go on a voyage?" demandeu Tisha. “Then what of her?" The giant sea captain looked from the blond girl to the brunette. Then be half smiled: “She, too, pleases me,” he said gruflly, with a sardonic grin. “I think I shall take you both, fo'r one may die.” Suddenly the merrymakers ceased their laughter. A shrill cry from with- in the house or Nadina made them pause. J ether rushed madly among them, carrying an empty teakwood box, which had been broken open. “Robbed! Robbed i” he cried.) “A thief has stolen all my money. Thou woman, thou hast robbed me.” Nadina faced him indignantly, with pretended scorn. “Art thou mad ?” she said coldly. “My chest is empty. Not one Shekel in it, and thou alone knowest where I kept my gold. Thou hast taken all and left me not a single coin.” Nadina took the box from him and threw it angrily upon the ground. “Is it my fauit if thou hast lent all to thy friends?" she demanded an- grily. "Have 1 any need of thy small treasureâ€"l, who own this house and feed thee and thy friends? Wert thou not drunk 1 would have thoe flogged for slandering me.“ ‘ Jether gazed about him with a dazed expression. "Yes. it is true: 1 did lend much money to my friends." he stam- méred “I had forgot the money I did lend them. but still there was plenty when last I opened this chest." Na‘dina. struck with :1 sudden thought, with eyes flashing fire. seized his arm and spoke to him aside. “Bast thou no money elsewhere?" she whispered. Jether shook his head. "None.” “But thou hast a father who is rich in lands. Send to him for more." “I have already had my portion,” ad- mitted Jether sadly. “He will give me naught” Nadina shook him angrily and turned aside contemptuously. “What thou hast loaned is lost.” she cried. “But if all thy money is gone how wilt thou pay me all that thou owest me 1” Jether proudly raised his head. “Thou dost wrong my friends.” he said calmly. “They are men of honor. They will repay me.” He started toward the group of friends. Nadina again bade h1m pause. “Wait.” she whispered. “There is a. way by which thou mayest once more have gold In plenty.” Jetherldoked at her anxiously. not comprehending, end she continued: “Put. the wealthy son of Absalom. doth ever gamble with the dice and for large stakes.

He turned to Merbel. smiling. “But thou, Merbel, thou art a true friend surely. Never once hast thou ever asked me for a Shekel. Now that I need wilt lend?” Merbel. with a look or unutterable disappointment. waved him aside in disgust. “11' I have not borrowed, Jether, am 1 not punished for my delay?

Suddenly Jether noticed that Nadina was close by his side and that she was trying to hand him some thing unobserved. “The dice." she whispered. “Thou canst not lose.” Jether felt his fingers close over the two small squares of ivory.

He pushed his way through the throng. “I will cast dice with thee," he said unsteadily. Tola :md Nadina exchang- ed glances and nodded. while Merbel, who but a moment ago had refused to lend Jether a single Shekel, looked at the boy in surprise. wondering where he had secured money with which to gamble. ' “Ah. Jetber, throw thou," cried Put gladly, for he liked Jether. “for a thou- sand Shekels.” “For a thousand Shekels, aye. But throw thou first," replied Jether. “I have drunk much, and my hand is un- steady.” \ Put laughed, picked up the dice and threw them. The two squares of ivory rolled over and over and settled on their sides. “Seven,” he cried, annoyed. Jether picked up the two dice. He drew back as if to adjust his mbe. He held his hands out of sight behind the cloth for a moment and changed the dice. He threw. “Twelve.” A cry of surprise at Jether’s lucky throw came from all.
