' - " . . . . . . . ' . , "It Is now they w11l offer their sacrIfices unto their God , as they told Pharaoh it was their purpose to do. " Then night had settled down and they had waited until the morning ex- pectmUy , wondering jest what the next move of tne Hebrews would be after their ceremonies had been con- cluded. These two spies had been Boat by Pharaoh to observe the movements of the Hebrew people , and It had been with much wonder , mingled with awe , that they had beheld the strange cloud hoverIng over them and seemIngly moving before the great ompany of people as they marched. "See , " sroke up one fellow , pointing in the direction of a group of men who were rounding up the fioeks , "they are selecting the animals even now lor the sacril1ce. " "But loole ! " exclaimed the other , "the people are striking their tents and lading themselves as though for the journey. " " 'Vhy so they are , " excitedly answered - swered the first spealtCr , after he had watched intenUy for some minutes. " 'Vhat can it mean ? " "Mean ? What else can it mean than that they are about to escape In the wllderness , whither it w11l be hard for Pharaoh to tollow them. " . "Pharaoh must be informed of this as speedily as possible , You are the more rapid runner. Do you carry the lI1ews back while I keep watch and , follow - low them. Thou w11t know whitner to come after us , for the way they w111 take through the wilderness is well ) mown. Pharaoh w11l not be able to follow with kis chn.rlots and norses , but thou w11t come with the ioot soldiers - diers , who w11l speedily overtake the Hebrew3 , cumbered as they are with their little ones and their 110clts and herds. " "See ! " broke in the other l gyp- tIan , "Already the cloud is moving on. " The two men stood watching the people - ple , who fell into marching order. with their little , ones and 110cts ) and l1rds in their midst as soon as the horns began - gan to biow after the cloud had Ufted nnd waa moving forwnrd , , " 'V ell , I must be off , " exclaimed the one WhOSl' duty it was to carry word bacle to Pharaoh , suddenly rousing himself from the absorbed contemplation - tion of the animated scene before him , and without further word he started olT , He had not gone far when a ' 3tartled , surprised shout caused him to , ause and turn bnek , and he saw his companion - ion polnllng excitedly at the moving columns of the Hebrews. who , instead of pursuing the usual route Into the wilderness around the head of Lbe sea , had turned and were following a course which would lead them between the , mountains on their right and the sea on their left , The two Egyptlllns teed watching , hardly able to bellevo that their eycs told them true , ' "What can it mean ? " they both ejaculated - ulated in the same breath. "They cannot - not bope to escape by that way , " And then the one who was to carry bacle word to Pharoah leaped about ! -leeful- Iy , oxclalming : "Now I will have good tlillngs for Pharaoh. Surely they have fallen into : tllC king's hands again , hemmed In as they are between the sea and the , mountains , " "Their god must be a god of folly , If , god it be who is in the cloud , " rejollled Ithe other. "See , the cloud is leading [ straight around into the narrow valley ! , Now w111 Phl\raoh ) mow that the gods lof Eg'pt have come up to his help and Ihave led the Hebrews into a sTare , " 'and he started arc In haste , eager to Icarry back the news. In the meantime , the Hebrewil pursued - sued their journey , but not without much perplexity and many m1sglv- Ings. When the cloud had lifted and had veered around , leading them bl\cle towards Egypt , the elders and loaders of the pClple bad hastily sought out Moses and asked him for explanation , "Seest thou not that we are turned about anll are going away from the land to which God said lIe would leutl us , and towards which we have br.en journe'lng ? " they cried. 1"01' 3nGWer Moses pointed Rolemnl ) ' at the cloud , saying : "Tho Lord is our Leadm' , Ho Imow. eth the way He would have us 60 , " "But see , " they cried , in l1crce Imlm- lIence , "we shall be caught lJetween the mountains and the sea , and IIhould Phlll'ilOh follow UII how will it be possible - sible to ef-cape ? ? " "I know not , " Moses replied , simply. "Surel ) ' t ere is nothing we f an rll > but ! olluw where the I.ord by Ills cloud shall let\ll.

Back In Egypt Pharaoh receiyed the news brought by his messenger with amazement. "Do you mean , " he oxclahned , "UlIlt Moses ho , led his pcople down between - tween he mountains and the sea ? " "Yea , that is the way they hl1ye tn- ) con , but It was the cloud moving before - fore them that pointed the coul'de. " "Tho cloud ? " questioned Pharaob , " 'Vhat mean you ? " The Idng listened to the story or the appearance of the strange thing 1I0at- ing In the heayens above the Hehrew& with growing wonder and superstition ! . fears. "It is the presence of their god , they thlnlt , " concluded the SP ) . . 'But if god it be , he Is a god of folly to choose sucll a course for his people. " "But lire you certain of this thing ? " Pharaoh csked , doubtfully , but with I1n eagernes3 which betrayed the h011 ( ' which wa ! ! springing up within hi ! ! heart , "Perhaps it was but the sub , terfuge of the sly leader Moses. May It not have been that he suspected that some watchful Egyptians were IIvying upon him and his people , and wishing to mislead them , planned this detour expecUng after their departur'3 to turn back and fiee into the wHderness ? " "Nay , oh , king , I thlnlt not. But even were it so , there Is one whom j loft to keep the Hebrew people In view He it Is who w111 meet thee and thy army and guide thee to t11e plac where thou wouhlst come. Certnln 1\ is that thou wilt find him at Etham : where th Hebrews encamped last and from which point they turned Bsidl : ! and 110.d Into what w111 proye a veritlll ble trap for them. Whether they con Unue. on down the narrow valle ) . 0:0 return - turn and fiee into the wilderness , 11 matters not , for thy servant whc. watches will ) cnow and be able tl ) dl. rect the pursuit , " "It is 'Well , " assented Pharaoh , eag. erly , and at once gave the comamnd which summoned his chariots an horsemen to prepare for imme:1iatf. pursuit. "Now wUl I be avenged upon the ! fe. brew 1Ieo111e for all the 1I1s which haw befallen 1110 , even the cutting ofC or mJ first-born son. And they shall r tunl and serve me with more bItter bondagt than was ever Imown bcfore or Ihali be ] mown hereafter , " 'l'hus fuming in his tlerce hatred he and his nI my sped forward , and had ht needed encouragement the hot tell11101 of his omcers and soldiers would have spurred bim on. At Etham the messenger was founl1 awaiting the army , and he was qulcltlJ ushered into the presence of Pharaoh , who was eager to learn oC the move , ments of the Hebrew peol1le. Had they conUnued on down between the moun. tains and the sea , 01' had they turned and escal1ed in the wilderness ? 'v af the cloud still leading ? Was there aught to fear In its presence ? In reply to these questions the messenger - senger pointed eagerly towards thE south , saying : . "Thither they have gone , and they canuot e cal > e thee , Now is It that Pharaoh shall show that the god of UII' > Hebrews 15 a god of folly , for what god Is there who could dellv r from thy army in buch a place ? " "But the cloud 'f Is it still leadmg ? " Pharaoh aslted , somewhat anxiously. "It abides over the people , ! lIte a sheltering wing , " replied the man , "bu1 when the cagle would selzo the bird , ling from the nest he cares not for the outspread pinions that hover about It.

"Last week I wanted you eSl1ecially for a sa1llng party which Jack Reddington was getting up ; but no , you had un engagement- " "But that was one of my clinic days - " he interrupted , a slight change In his \'olce.

Promptly at seven bells the followIng - Ing morning , Ogden stel1ped into the Lotus' cutter and was pulled smartly In.

'fhe day had lCen ono ofIn alloyed delights , 'rhalllcs to the candid hospitality - pitality of their host , the guests were entirely at ease : with their novel surroundings - roundings before Hell Gate was reached. Ogden , from the bridge , where he had gone to sl1eak to the captain , con- tenwlated hs ! guests thoughtfully. As for the WOlllen , Ogden thought that he hod 'been often presented to those of far less charm of manner and appearance - ance than several among his g\lests : yet all of these people represented a class as far removed from "his set" as if they had belonged to a dllTerent race , "Every Sunday , hereafter , " he said to himself , "These , or others IIlw them ; hereafter the clinic gets a seventh share In this pacltet-GladYs or no Gladys !

The1 newcomers , chattering gaily , boarded the yacht and proceeded to distribute themselves about the decks , some glancing curiousl.r at the rather odd-looking group of people under the arter nwning. 1'or !
