When. after much wandering, she reached her own land, she brought us a 1rift 11) her peeple :1 baby prince \\ h1m1 the peeple hailed as their king to be. Adon-ijah, brother to Solomon, saw now his chance to seize the throne. Profiting by the jealous ambition of the Princess Vasht.i,,who saw that she had lost Solomon’s love, .he plotâ€" ted with her against the king; but he found Sheba always a stumbling- block to his plans. ._ To him Sheba went, with a glit- tering caravan of elephants and camels decked with gold and silver and precious stones; and Solomon himself was dazzled by the “treasures of the land of Sheba and the beauty of the queen. All his Wisdom and all his power he laid at her feet, and Sheba herself looked into his eyes and knew she loved him. But they knew they must part. Sheba won the hearts of the peo- ;ple by her wise rule. The ancient glory of the realm returned, and its fame spread to all the nations of the earth. But more glorious than all the treasures of the kingdom was the beauty or its queen. Of this men spoke everywhere, so that its renown reached the ears of great King Solo- mon himself, far away, across the deserts of Arabia and the burning plains of Egypt. ' By woman’s wiles she. won him. In marriage to Sheba he saw his 0pâ€" portunity to strengthen his throne and win the peOpIe-’s. acclaim. But ,on the wedding night, before all the feasting guests, while the slave-girls danced and the minstrels sang, Sheba stabbed him to the heart. Then Sheba brought forth the ancient crown of Sheba, which, in fulfilment of the old prOphecy, had been thrown up by the waves of the ocean before her eyes. Thinking to deal“ a death-blow to his enemies, Armud seized Nomis and carried her off to his palace; Scornâ€" ing his embraces,, she drowned her- self in a pool. Sheba swore to avenge her sister and lay the usurper low. ruler, dwelt with her father in their tent by the seashore Proud in their poverty, she and her sister Nomis knew that in their veins flowed the blood of kings, and prayed for the day when the people, roused to fury by Armud’s muelties, would rise and dethrone him.

The above, briefly, is a synOpsis of “Queen of Sheba,” and a most in- teresting performance it will prove to be. It was one of Adonijah’s fallen sol- diers who revealed to Sheba the hid- ing place of the prince. She brought him out of the Tomb of the Kings, and Solomon wept for joy when he saw him. Adonijah and Vashti had reckoned without Sheba. When she learned of the loss of her son she dispatched a great army across the desert to Solo- mon’s aid, herself leading. She and her mighty host arrived at the cru- cial moment; Adonijah’s army had entered the gates and was storming the Tower of David. Sheba’s army fell upon the attackers with great slaughter. Adoniijah himself was killed and Solomon wounded. Assault after assault by Adonijtah brought him nearer to victory. Many times his men entered the gates of the palace, only to be driven forth again. The women. of the court took refuge in the great spiral Tower of David that stood in the middle of the city. The traitor Ado'hijah, saw in the boy a new peril to his plans.
