HE moon had rlson already
whon Jesus prepared to go
to the Mount of Olives,
whero ho had spent all his
InBt nights. Uut he tarried,
for Bonio Inexplicable rea
son, and tho dlBclples,
ready to start, wero hurry
ing him then ho said sud
denly: "Ho that hath a purso,
lot him take It, and liko
wlso his script; nnd ho that
hath no sword, let him sell
his garment and buy one.
For I say unto you that this that Is writ
ten must yet bo accomplished In mo.
And he was reckoned among tho trans
gressors." The disciples were surprised and look
ed at ono another In confusion. Peter
replies:
"Lord, wo havo two swords here."
Ho looked searchlngly Into their kind
faces, lowered his head, and said softly:
"It Is enough."
Tho steps of the disciples resounded
loudly In tho narrow streets, and the
disciples wero frightened by tho sounds
of their own footstops; on tho whlto wall,
illumined by tho moon, their black
shadows appeared and they wero fright
ened by their own shadows. Thus they
passed in silence through Jerusalem,
which was absorbed in sleep, and now
they came out of tho gates of tho city,
and in the valley, full of fantastic, mo
tionless shadows, tho stream of Kedron
appeared beforo thorn. Now they wero
frightened by everything. From timo to
lime they looked back at Jerusalem, all
white in the moonlight, and they spoke
to ono another about tho fear that had
passed; and those who walked in the
rear heard, in fragments, tho soft words
of Jesus. He spoke about their forsak
ing him.
In tho garden they paused soon after they had
entered it. Tho majority of them remained thoro,
and, speaking softly, began to rauko ready for
their sleep, outspreading their cloaks over the
transparent embroidery of tho shadows and tho
moonlight. Jesus, tormented with uneasiness, and
four of his disciples went further into the depth
of the garden. There they seated themselves on
tho ground, which had not yet cooled off from tho
heat of the day, and while Jesus was silent, Peter
and John lazily exchanged words almost devoid of
any meaning. Suddenly Jesus rose quickly.
"My soul, is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto
death; tarry ye hero und watch with me," ho said
and departed hastily to the grove and soon disap
peared amid its motionless shades and light.
"Where did he go?" said John, lifting himself
on his elbow. Peter turned his head In tho di
rection of Jesus and answered fatiguedly:
"I do not know."
And he yawned again loudly, then threw himself
on his back and became silent. The others also
became silent, and their motionless bodies wero
soon absorbed into tho bound sleep of fatigue.
Through his heavy slumber Peter saw vaguely
bomuthing white bending over, bonio one's voice
resounded and died away, leaving no traco In his
dimmed consciousness.
"Simon, aro you sleeping?"
And he slept again, and again some soft volco
reached hip ear and died away without leaving
any trace.
"You could not watch with me even one hour?"
"Oh, Master! If you only knew how sleepy I
am," ho thought In his slumber, but it seemed to
him that he said it aloud. And ho slept ngaln.
And a long time seemed to havo passed, whon
suddenly the figure of Jesus appeared near him,
and a loud, rousing voice instantly awakened him
and tho others:
"You are still sleeping and resting? It Is ended,
tho hour has come the Son of Man is betrayed
into tho hands of tho sinners."
The disciples quickly sprang to their foot, con
fusedly seizing their cloaks and trembling from
tho cold of the sudden awakening. Through tho
thicket of tho trees a multitude of warriors and
.tbmplo servants was seen approaching, noisily,
illuminating their way with torches. And from
tho other side tho disciples came running, quiver
ing with cold, their sleepy fnces frightened; and
not yet understanding what was going on, thoy
asked hnstlly:
"What Is it? Who aro these people with
torches?"
Thomas, pale faced, his mustaches in disorder,
his teeth chattering from chilliness, said to Peter:
"Thoy have evidently come after us."
Now u multitude of warriors surrounded them,
and tho smoky, quivering light of the torches
drove away somewhero tho soft light of the moon.
In front of tho warriors walked quickly Judas
Iscarlot, nnd sharply turning his quick eye, ho
was searching for Jesus. Ho found him, restod
for an Instant his look upon his tall, slender fig
ure, and quickly whispered to tho priests:
"Whomsoever I shall kiss, that samo is ho.
Take him and lead him coutlously. Lead him
cautiously, do you hear?"
Then ho quickly moved to JesuB, who waited
for him in bllence, and ho directed his straight,
sharp look, like a knifo, Into his calm, darkened
eyes.
"Hail, Master!" he said loudly, charging hl3
words or usual greeting with a strange and stern
meaning.
But Jesus was silent, and the disciples look'ed
at tho traitor with horror, not understanding how
tho soul of a man could contain so much evil.
Iscarlot threw a rapid glance at their confused
ranks, noticed their quiver, which was about to
turn Into a loud, trembling fear, noticed their
pallor, their senseless 'smllos, tho drowsy move
ments of their hands, which seamed as though fet
tered in iron at tho shoulders and a mortal sor
row began to burn in his heart, akin to tho sor
row Christ had experienced before. Outstretching
himself Into a hundred ringing, sobbing strings,
ho rushed over to Jesus aud kissed his cold
cheek tenderly. Ho kissed It so softly, so ton-
derly, with such painful love and sorrow, that if
Jesus had boon a flower upon a thin stalk he
would not havo shaken from this kiss and would
not havo dropped tho pearly dow from his pure
potals.
"Judas," said Jesus, and with tho lightning of
bis look he illumined that monstrous heap of
if mfM V AWa J mlrn

shadows which was Iscarlot's soul, but ho could
not penetrate Into the bottomless depth. "Judas!
Is it with a kiss you betray tho Son of Mnn?"
And ho saw how that monstrous chaos trembled
and stirred. Speechless and stern, liko death In
its haughty majesty, stood Judas Iscarlot, and
within him a thousand Impetuous and fiery voices
groaned and roared.
"Yes! Wo botray tlieo with the kiss of lovo!
With the kiss of lovo wo betray theo to outrage,
to torture, to death! With tho voice of lovo wo
call together tho hangmen from their dark holes,
and wo plnco a cross and high over the top of
tho earth wo lift lover, cruslfled by lovo upon a
cross."
Thus stood Judas, silent and cold, Uko death,
and tho shouting and tho noise about Jesus an
swered the cry of his bouI. With tho rudo lr
resoluteness of armed force, with tho awkward
ness of a vaguelyvunderstood purpose, tho soldiers
seized him nnd dragged him somowhere their
irresoluteness thoy mistook for resistance, their
fear they mistook for derision and mockery ovor
them. Llko a herd of frightened lambs, the dis
ciples stood huddled together, not Interfering with
anything, yet disturbing everybody and oven
themselves. Only a few of them resolved to walk
and act separately. Jostled from all sides, Peter
drew out tho sword from Its sheath with difficulty,
as though he had lost his strength, and faintly
lowered It upon tho head of ono of the priests
without causing him nny harm, -Jesus, who no
ticed it, ordered him to throw down tho unneces
sary sword, and, clanking faintly, tho sword fell
to tho ground.
Thus it remained there, until many days later
children at play found it and mado a toy of it.
. . . When Jesus was led away Peter, who
had hidden himself behind tho trees, camo out and
followed his Master In tho distance. Noticing an
other man in front of him, who walked silently,
ho thought that it was John, and ho called him
softly:
"John, 1b that you?"
"And is that you, Peter?" answered tho other,
pausing, and by tho volco Peter recogulzod tho
Traitor. "Peter, why did you not run away to
gether with tho others?"
Peter stopped and said with contempt:
"Leavo mo, Satan!"
Judas began to laugh, and paying no further at
tention to Peter, ho went farther, thero where tho
torches wero flnshlng dimly and where tho clank
ing of tho weapons mingled with tho footstops.
Peter followed him cautiously, and thus they en
tered tho court of the high priest almost simul
taneously nnd mingled In tho crowd of the priests
who were warming themselves nt tho bonfires.
Judas warmed his bony hands morosely at tho
bonfire and heard how Peter said loudly some
where behind him:
"No, I do not know him."
nut It was evident that thoy wero Insisting
thero that he was one of tho disciples of Jesus,
for Peter repeated still louder, "But I do not un
derstand what you aro saying."
Without turning around, and smiling involun
tarily, Judas shook his head affirmatively and
muttered:
"Thnt's right, Peter! Do not give up your place
near Jesus to anybody."
And ho did not eee how the frightened Peter
walked away from tho courtyr.d. And from that
night until tho very death of Jesus Judas did not
see a single ono of tho disciples of Jesus near
him, and nmid all that multltudo thoro wero only
two, inseparable until death, strangely bound to
gether by sufferings ho who had been betrayed
to abuse and lorturo and ho who had betrayed
him. Like brother, they both, tho betrayed and
the traitor, drank out of the same cup of suffer
ings, and tho fiery liquid burnt equally the pure
and tho lmpuro lips.
Ho saw how tho soldiers led Jesus away. Night
was passing, tho bonfires wero dying out and woro
becoming covered with ashes, and from tho sentry
houso came dull cries, laughter nnd abuses. Thoy
woro beating Jesus. As though lost, Iscarlot was
running around the deserted yard, now stopping,
lifting his head and then starting to run again,
stumbling upon tho bonfires and tho walls. Then
ho clung to the wall of the sentry houso, and,
strotchlng himself, clung to the windows, to tho
crevices in tho doors, and looked greedily to boo
what was going on within. Ho saw a narrow,
stifling room, llko all tho soutry houses in tho
world, with filthy floors and walls. And ho saw
a man being beaten. They beat him on tho faco,
on the head, they hurled him llko a soft balo from

In an instant Judas' head was filled

"Who Is deceiving Judas? Who Is
right?"
But no. Tho noise and tho shouting
wero resumed. Thoy woro beating him
again. Thoy did not guess, thoy did
not understand, and they bent him
moro harshly, moro painfully. And tho
bonfires wore burning to tho end, cov

"What is day?" asked Judas.
Now ovorything becamo blight, be
gan to flash, grow young and tho
smoko was no longer bluo but pink.
Tho sun Was rising.
"What Is tho sun?" nsked Judas.
. . . Whon tho hnmmor was rais
ed to untl tho loft hand of Jesus to tho
wood, Judas closed his eyes ho did
not breathe, he dld,uot see anything,
ho did not llvo ho only listened. Then
tho Iron struck tho Iron with a thud,
and then followed dull, short, low blows ho heard
how tho Bharp nnll was entering tho soft
wood. . . .
Ono hand. It was not too lato yet
Tho other hand. It was still not too lato yet.
Ono foot, tho other foot Is it possible that all
was ended? Ho opened his eyes irresolutely und
saw how tho cross was lifted and placed in n

convulsively, and how thoy relaxed painfully, and
how the wounds woro growing larger. . . .
The hands wero stretching, strotchlng, they be
camo thin, white, dislocated at tho shoulders, and
tho wounds under tho nails turned redder it
seemed as though tho hands would tear soon . .
But everything stopped? Only ribs wero mov
ing, lifted by quick, deep breathing.
On tho top of the earth stood tho cross, and
upon it Jesus, crucified. ...
Tho horror snd tho dreams of Iscarlot had been
realized ho roso and looked about him with a
cold glance. And suddenly Iscarlot saw as clearly
as his terrlblo victory, also its ominous uncer
tainty. What If tho pcoplo should suddenly un
derstand? It was not too lato as yet. Jesus was
still alive. There ho was calling with hfs sor

planting of trocs. Tree culturo by tho
way Is being carried on to a great ex
tent. Besides these free Erant lands
thero are lands which may bo had by
purchasing from railways and prlvato

to 45 bushels per ncre, and othor grain
with liko heavy yiolds. Advortiso

for simple writing which ho employ
