Jephthah's Daughter : * A Story of Patriarchal Times. * * By JULIA MAGRUDER. . . * * CorrnionTED 1600 , 1891 AND 1809 BY ROBERT BORNEO'S SONS. * * * * uttAi'TiiK VI. ( Continued. ) Now , as the host of Jephthah marched down the streets of MIzper , while all along the people cheered and shouted as they passed , behold at Jeph thah's side , in front of them , there rode the young man Adina , and not behind , as was his wont. And by this token all the people knew that he had won glory for himself In battle , and that Jephthah strove thus to show the favor which he had toward him , and with the noise of their shoutings , "Long live Jephthah , the Gileadite ! " were mingled cries of "Long live Adina ! " And as these sounds came even to the ears of Namarah , behold the flush " "ifpon her cheeks grew deeper and her eyes yet more glorious. And ever the soldiery pressed onward , followed by the shouts of triumph from the crowd. And Jephthah , the mighty captain , rode a night-black charger , while that of Adina was white as milk. Both men were clad in gleaming armor , on which the rays of the setting sun made blazes of vivid fire , gilding the silver of the old man's beard , and burnish ing the gold of Adina's thick curls , which seemed a part of his shining helmet. And ever , as they rode , the eyes of both were turned toward the house of Jephthah , for Jephthah had vowed a vow unto the Lord , and had said : "If Thou shalt without fail de liver the children of Ammon into my hands , then it shall be that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me , when I return in peace from the children of Ammon , shall surely be the Lord's , and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. " And he looked to see what it should be. But the young man Adina. , who knew not of Jephthah's vow , and had said naught of the tidings sent to Nama rah by the carrier bird that being a secret between the maiden and himself knew that Namarah would be pre- P'.red for their coming , and rightly thought that she would come to meet them. And now , as they began to come nigh to the house , behold , the great doors were thrown open , and forth there came the maiden Namarah , clad all in white and gold , and after her her maid ens , with timbrels and dances. But Namarah came first , with her head erect and all her face made glorious with joy. The childish timidity she was wont to show had vanished now , and she faced the band of soldiery a royal princess In her bearing. She felt herself a queen , indeed , for happy love had crowned her. And as she came , behold the two men who were at the head of the great host drew rein and suddenly checked their horses , and all the soldiery halt ed. All eyes were on the beauteous face of the majestic maiden , hers only seeing the faces of the two men who led the host. Her gaze sought first the face of Adina , with a treacherous fealty which she could not control , and as their looks met thus , behold the joyousness of his heart gleaned forth into his eyes , which met hers , with a look that thrilled her soul with rapture. For a moment she was blinded with ec stasy , and saw naught before her but light , supreme , bewildering ; and then , with the reflection of that light upon her face , she turned her raptured gaze upon her father , and suddenly the great light became a great darkness , which likewise cast its reflection upon her ; for the face of Jephthah her fath er was as the face of a man in mortal throes , and behold the hand that held the bridle shook and fell , and his body swerved in the saddle , so that he would have fallen but that the young man Adina , seeing the maiden's sudden change of countenance had looked to ward its source , and was just in time to put out his hand and stay Jephthah in nis place. Then Adina dismounted and ran to Jephthah's side , and while the maiden Namarah herself laid hold on the bridle of his horse , the young man as sisted him to the ground , and with Namarah's help led him into the house. The eyes which had but lately looked such joy into each other , exchanged now looks of pain and * horror , for it was quickly passed from mouth to mouth that the great captain had been seized with mortal illness , and that the joy of his victorious return and meet ing with his daughter was like to cost him his life. But Jephthah , when he heard these words , denied and said : "It is not as ye say , O men of Israel ; nevertheless the hand of the Lord is heavy upon me this day. Cause to go out from me all save the maiden Na marah and the young man Adina. " And when they bad so done , behold Jephthah rent his clothes , and said : "Alas ! my daughter ; thou hast brought me very low ; and thou art one of them that trouble me ; for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord , and I cannot go back ! " And Namarah said unto iiim : "My father , if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord , do to-me accord ing to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth ; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies , eveu the children of Ammon. " r go spake she , and her voice was firm and clear , but her face went deadly pale , even as the face of the young man Adina put on a ghastly pallor ; and as he stood before her in his shin ing armor a great trembling seized him , so that his armor shook and sounded. And as she looked on him and saw his grief , behold her heart bled for him , and for all the visions of her happy love ; and she turned to him and threw her arms about his neck. And Adina clasped her to him , careful not to hurt her tender body against his mail-clad breast , and it seemed unto them both that the barrier that had come so suddenly between their two souls was even as this barrier between their bodies hard and cruel and im passable. But there was no barrier be tween their lips , and as they softly touched and trembled on each other , they knew not whether that moment's ecstasy was of pain or joy. And Jephthah sat and gazed on them , and as he looked he was no longer the mighty man of valor , but a creature sore stricken , so that his hands shook for very weakness , and feeble and im potent tears fell down upon his beard and trickled to his armor , while his face was changed and piteous to be hold , and he looked , all at once , an aged man. Turning her eyes toward him , and seeing him in such unhappy case , Na marah slipped from her lover's arms , and went and knelt beside her father , circling his neck with her tender arms , and calling him all manner of caress ing names , while she kissed him with deep lovingness on his forehead , his cheeks and his lips. Then did she loosen his heavy armor , and remove each piece in turn , beseeching him to take comfort , and avowing toward him an affection more fervent and dutiful than ever she had shown him in the past. But Adina spake no word either with or against her , but stood where she had left him , with his right hand holding the elbow of his left arm , which was raised toward his face , his chin sunk in his palm. He was still in complete armor , only he had re moved his helmet , so that his sunny curls were uncovered. Right goodly to look upon he was , in the majesty of his stalwart youth , but his ruddy skin was ashen white , and in the great blue eyes , which had so lately glowed with so luminous a love-light , there was now the shadow of great despair. And ever his eyes were fixed upon the maiden , following each movement that she made , and the hunger of his soul was in them. CHAPTER VII. When Jephthah , at her bidding stood up , that Namarah might lift from him the weight of his heavy armor , he turned and looked upon Adina , and a great cry broke from him , and he sank backward into his seat and covered his face with his hands. But Namarah bent above him and drew away his hands , kneeling on her knees before him , and holding them in both her own. "Nay , grieve thee not , my father , " she said , tenderly. "Let it be done to me according as thou has vowed. " "Thy life is mine , and vowed to me ! " burst forth Adina , hotly , taking a stepE toward her , as if he would wrest her from her father. But the compelling eyes of the maiden Namarah arrested him , and he turned , and began to pace the apartment with the angry strides of a caged beast. "Ah , woe , my daughter , " Jephthah spake , "that thy father , who hath so loved thee , should bring thee now such hurt It had pleased me well that thou shouldest wed Adina. It was but the morning of this day on which I dreamed these dreams , and to what are they come ? Alas , my daughter , why earnest thou forth to meet me , so con trary to thy wont and usage ? Thou wast ever affrighted before the soldiery and held backward when they came about the door. " * "I was even bold and fearless , my father , against my usual wont , because happy case , Namarah slipped from her that love had made me so , and in the presence of my lord , Adina , I had but one fear only , lest I might fail of my honor to him who knew not my ways as thou knewest them and appear un loving and ungracious in his eyes. At these words Adina's motions grew more gentle and he checked him in his walk , and came and stood near by , his chin sunk in his palm , as be fore , and his eyes , with a most mighty tenderness in them , bent upon Na marah. "But , how knewest thou , my daugh ter , that the victory was won and thy father's host returning , seeing I sent no messenger before me , but made haste myself to bring thee tidings ? " Then Namarah turned her fair face upward , and said : "Adiua , speak. Let it be known unto Jephthah , my father , that the thing that is come upon us was partly of our own doing thine and mine. " Then Adiaa , softened , mayhap , by the sight of the old man's suffering , and more yet by the nobleness and submission of Namarah's spirit , an swered , and said : "These words be true , 0 Jephthah , for it was even I that sent unto the maiden tidings , by which she gained the knowledge of our approach. " "But how sendest thou these tid ings , " said Jephthah , "seeing that I gave theo no leave to take a mes senger ? " "Therein the fault was mine , " Na marah said , "if fault'there be-rfor , were it not the. will of God , naught that was done or is to be were pos sible seeing that I gave unto Adina one of my carrier birds , to send me word of thy triumph and return , and the bird , in truth , brought me the tid ings this morning. Seest thou not then therefore , oh , my father , that this thing that is befallen us was to be ? " Then Jephthah bowed his head upon his hands and uttered a mighty groan. "How sayst thou , my daughter , that we shall be delivered ? Knowest thou not that according to my vow thou must be offered a burnt sacrifice ? " As he spake these awful words , the maiden's face grew whiter still , though the courage of her eyes faltered not , and through all the body of the young man Adina there ran a .great shiver that again made to shake his armor that it rattled and sounded , seeing which , Namarah rose and ran to him , fearing lest he might even fall to the ground , so greatly he tottered and trembled. Taking him by the hand , she led him to a place beside her fath er and gently pressed him to a seat , while she herself sank back upon her knees before them , holding a hand of each , and as she lifted up her head and looked at them , it seemed unto the father and thejover both that her face was as the face of an angel. "Hearken to me , 0 thou to whom my soul best loveth , " said Namarah , "for there is a voice within me that seem- eth to me to speak , and that most dread and sacred voice saith to me what it shall comfort thee to hear. 'I will deliver thee , ' the voice crieth con tinually , and shall we not believe this Heavenly voice ? Let us , therefore , be comforted , and take courage and pray continually for deliverance from the terror wherewith we are . afilrighted. For what in it that thy soul feareth 0 Adina , and O Jephthah my father ? Is it not even the thought of parting ? " As Namarah spake these words , the spirits of the men who listened to her grew suddenly more calm , and the faith and courage with which her own heart was animated seemed to be in some sense imparted to them , so that Jephthah turned unto Adina , and spake unto him in these words : "Let not thy soul within thee hate me , O Adina , for my heart is sad even unto death. Forgive me the harm that I have-done unto thee through ignor ance , and let it be with us both even according unto the words that this maiden hath spoken , and let us take comfort and have hope. Let us together pray continually for the deliverance that she feeleth to be in store for us. " And Adina answered , and said : "It shall be as thou sayest , 0 Jeph thah , and the God of power hear our prayers. " Then Jephthah caused him that he knelt in front of him , at the side of the maiden Namarah , and as they rested so , Jephthah lifted up his hands , and blessed them. And as their heads were bowed together , the short golden curls of the man beside the long dark tresses of the maiden , Jephthah rose , and softly left them ; and when they lifted j up their heads , behold they were alone.

"At one place , " he said recently to one of his classes , "we surprised a southern garrison and took many southern prisoners. They were guarding a mountain of cotton bales which were intended for ship ment to Europe on account of the southern government. Gen. Banks promptly confiscated the cotton and . transferred it to his flotilla. Each bale was stencilled 'C. S. A. , ' and over this the northern soldiers with marking brushes wrote in huge characters , 'U. S. A. ' I was on guard at the time , and one of my prisoners , a handsome , bright-eyed young southern officer , said , 'Yank , what's that writing there ? ' I looked proudly at him as 1 replied : 'The United States of Ameri ca over the Confederate States of America. Can't you read U. S. A. over C. S. A. ? ' He looked at me quiz zically.

Began with Small Farm Xow Does Ex trusive misocl Farming : . Within three miles of the town , go ing eastward , is the farm of Mr. W. Creamer , one of the municipality's largest and most prosperous mixed farmers. Mr. Creamer came to this country in 1880 and settled on a portion tion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acres. In common with many others of a similar period , he experienced all the hardships and difficulties common to the absence of railway and market fa cilities. In no wise dauntedby ener gy , industry and indomitable will ie was able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled sue- cess , and is known throughout the dis trict as one of Its pre-eminent farm ers. His operations extend over 1,250 acres , two sections ( the thought alone of so much land makes the eastern farmer dizzy ) ; SOO acres of this Is broken and the remainder Is excellent pasture land and wood. This harvest he took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat j next spring. Mr. Creamer is , as has I been stated , , a mixed farmer of no mean proportions , having at the pres ent time forty horses , sixty head of cattle and fifty pigs. The most mod ern farm buildings are found on his premises , the main building being a barn fifty-five feet square on a stone foundation , containing stabling for sixteen horses and a lirgs number of cattle. The loft is stored with twenty- nine loads of sheaf oats for feed , and tons of hay ; there is also a ctittmg- Another building of large dimensions - mensions is the granary , in which , aft er teaming large quantities to market , h-j still has stored 3,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine is in the building. There are a number of less er buildings containing chicken house , pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm icsidence is a handsome frame struc ture of ample proportions ; in connec tion with it is a woodshed. The water supply is unexcelled ; besides house supply there is a well in the stables and a never-failing spring situate in a bluff , which never freezes. Surround ed by a thick bluff of poplars , extend ing in a semi-circle to the west , north and east , the winter storms are brok en and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations , Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing outfit for the season. His success is only one instance of what can be accom plished in western Canada.
