It waa ao easy thlag to get free scholarships la the Christian col leges at Bfelrut There had been strong competition, for the desk paid for by the Brick Church Society of Boston, Dikran'8 task had been .cut out for him. He .knew there would be away rivals. Of these many rivals, Alexander Tir tan. ao it-happened, waa one. Alexan der Tirzan waa another youngster, and one of Dikran'a neighbors, llviag a asile or so nearer to Beirut Tlrzaa at this time waa aa even twenty years of age; he waa' bulky in body, with shrewd, deep-set eyea and heavy, over hanging brow.' "It la good, this Christian college,' Tirzan had informed .himself, "it la good to be a Christian. For do not the Christian v merchants prosper r When Dikran' learned that Alexan der Tirzan was against him in the race, he had sighed. "I am sorry for myself, Alexander," he had said, "how can I win with you against me?" " The next day after that Dikran. by virtue of his examination at the Beirut school, had been selected to fill the Brick Church scholarship. Alexander Tirzan had been tenth in line. "It la trickery," Tirzan had shouted, "favoritism!" Three miles to the east of Dikran'a hut, aa the crow files, and down a "And Thy God la My God.' long and narrow lane, lived Anna Saratov.

Syria unconsciously awaited her turn. It came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Over In the Saratov hosae one day John Baptist Dikran stood and looked dowa upon Anna Saratov, aa she stood before him. "Have you thought about It, Aaaa Saratov?" he asked. Aaaa Saratov, looking neltker to the right nor to the left, came to him aad clasped her arms about his neck. "Whithersoever thou goest ," said Aaaa Saratov. "I shall go; where thou longest, I wiU lodge. .Thy people shall be aay people." She stopped for an Instant "Aad thy God my God." ' John Baptist Dikran crushed her to his breast It had beea a hard fight He had won. He had well begun the performance of hia duty; so far he had fulfilled his, trust; he had fought a good fight; he had kept the faith. Dowa the road toward the cottage came Tirzan. He heard shoots behind hiss. He looked, stood stock still for aa instant, and then took to hia heels. And well he might For the emis saries of the god of unrest were he hind him emissaries bent upon de struction, riot, murder; reckless of consequences; filled with strong drink, with the craze for human blood upon them. On they came. Tirzan still fled. They had seen him, aad he knew it He knew what-it meant He had heard the mutteriags of the warcloud. He reached the home of the Saratova. He leaked ahead. Ahead there waa no shelter nothing. Hardly knowing what he did. he crept around to the rear, meeting no one. and entered the small house. Inside" he caught sight of a small dark recess. "He entered it It wag cluttered up with hanging silk and linen. He breathed more easily. This, he said to himself, waa the best that he could do. ' Suddenly he became aware of voices the voices of Dikran and the girl he loved. A great peace had come upon John Baptist and Anna Saratov. Suddenly all this was changed. Suddenly, they found themselves in the aiidst of wild men, crazed with drink, with re ligious fervor, with the desire for human blood. Dikran fought like a tiger..

"No. no," cried Dikran. Suddenly upon the outside air, there rank shriek upon shriek of a woman in' distress a woman at the mercy of six leads in human guise. The shrieks grew fainter aad fainter, for they seeased to come each time from greater distance. Dikran gave one glaace at the faces of bis tormentors, and then uttered a groan mighty with despair.

He knelt up on the floor beside her lifeless form In the half hour that he stayed there he forgot all that the college at Beirut had taught him. save only one thing "An .eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Dikran knew that from this' time forth, until hia revenge waa com plete, this must be his creed. In the meantime Tirzan, by an obs cure route, had stolen from the house and made his way to Beirut, where he could And safety. Two days later, he anaounced to the college at Beirut that he, Tirzan. had heard with his own ears the renunciation 'made by John Baptist Dikran. Ten miles further than the Saratov home, as the road winds, there waa a goodly village of some fifty houses, and some seventy strong men. This village waa but a stone's throw from the sea. Upon this village marched the mob. recruiting its numbers as It went along. The mob travelled by the road. Suddenly, Into the village a propelled himself a man covered with blood, maddeaed with wounds. r It waa Dikran. He had come through the flelda while the mob was approaching hy the read. That day Dikraa seemed aa one lasplred; more, he Inspired the others with his hatred, hia venom vengeance. He told his story. It was enough. The nghtera girded up their loins.
