Then the iaco of eaeh turned to each.
and long tlmo they gazed Into each
other's oyen, ns though their very
souls wcro bnrcd unto each other. Thon
silently tholr arms entwined, nnd softly
their Hps met and pressed and clung:
nnd so rested they, still upon tholr
knees, for the moment was sacred nt
onco to lovo and to death. Tho thought
of what was to como was in tho heart
ot naoh, and cost around them n great
awe that seemed to wrap thura in; but
iven 'vor this their pure lovo tri
umphed, nnd tho man and tho maiden
wcro shown therein tho truth of Na
marah's words, that lave Is stronger
than death.
Then Adlnn lifted up his voice and
prnyed.
And Namarah, In her gentle voice,
which tho words of Adlna's prayer
mndo now to tremble, answered oven
slso, "Amen."
After they got them to tholr feat
and went In search ot the mnldcn's
father Jephthnh. that thoy might spenk
unto him Cheering words nud comfort
hi in with tho comfort wherewith their
souls within thorn had been comforted.
And Namarnh spoke unto hnr faflior
Jcphthah, and said:
"Lot this thing be dono for mo: let
mo alone two months, that I mny go
up nnd down upon tho mountains, and
bewail my unhappy lot"
And he said:
"do."
And after thla, behold, tho face ot the
maiden wns no longer sorrowful, but
ever thorn beamed forth from It a most
oalm and shining light that even com
forted tho hearts of nil who gnzed on
ber.
to tako my spirit back to Him who
gars It. and m leave then here upon
tho earth, will It seem loo hard a thing
to wait with pntlenca until tho hour ot
thy roloaso from earth und llesh shall
come, when thy spirit shnll ngaln meet
mine?"
"Ton hard n thing. Namarahl I
could wait till eternity wcro ended
sooner than I could love any other
maiden than theol"
"Ah, sweet sweel la thy lovo and
loyalty bolovedl" wilth Namarah: "and
my heart is oven warmed nnd com
forted to henr tlico speak those words,
NevnrtholcRs, there Is n thing I would
hnvo thec romombor. It It should be,
when I am dead, that thou shouldst
over lovo another maiden for thou art
young, nnd thero bo others worthy of
thy love, nnd life nlnno Is long and
sod I would not have thw llvo unwed
because of mo. If thou choosesl to
marry thou hast my full consent, and
ovon my blessing from Heaven."
Hut nt her words the young man
thrust her from him ulmost roughly.
and turned on her tho flrnt ungontlo
look his faco had cvr worn to her.
"Thou art unkind nud rruel unto me
Natnanih," ho said, "and thy lovo is
not llkn to mine for thec, or thou
rouldst not think possible tho thing
whereof thou spooked. Tho soul of
Adlnn slept within him until, at touch
of thy soul, it waked; and It lives but
for theo nlnne. If thou must die, the
deslro of my heart will he still to theo

Thtn. while tho bird stll! rested be-
twa them, thny clasped each other
closir yet, for with the rising ot the
sun to-morrow Namarah nnn her maid
ens wero to set forth unto tho moun
tains, and this wag their hour ot parting.
Long tlmo they rested thero alorv,
after tho bird had fluttered oft to Its
house, and ever the sound of Its sad
complaining came unto their cars.
"It shall be my companion while
thott art gone." said Adlna, "and at
night I will take it with roe. so that
Its mourning shnll bo made against tho
warmth ot my heart, that hath na
voice wherewith to utter tho greatness
of Its woo."
Nevertheless, I shall htar Ita com

shall answer thero, In sounds Inaudible
that thy listening soul may hear. And
now must I lenvo theo, beloved, tor my

over, that ho may ovon speak with me

Now, Namnrah know that ho would

her heart within her trembled, nnd thn

back, like to a rosn In bloom.
Adlnn, who had roded from his

out nnd folded her tenderly nnd
irnngly against his brodst.
"Hurt not tho bird, Adlna," sho snld.
slowly, an ho held lior thero nnd know

"How knowest thott it Is the sumo,

ho spake, ho held her still with ono

laid above her llttlo ono that gently
smoothed tho milled pltituago ot the
frightened bird.
"I know It oven by Its trnvel-atalna
and by Ita broken fenthera. Boo, tho

and kissed It tenderly, nt which Adlna
swiftly bent his tall head and kissed
tho very spot whereon hor Hps had
lain upon tho bird, saying as ho did so:
"Thy kiss os lire all mine, Namarah.
nnd I must ovon take back tho one that
thou hast given to the bird. It was

long engaged the touches of thy hands.
for these be mine also, and to-night I
long for all thy love, seeing that my

Again the night lay wrapped In allenen.
Suddenly there was n flutterMg above

plaintive moan. As the young man
and the maiden strove eaeh to toueli

Its rescue, the poor little thing Imd
