To Jether's dismay tho arlrl QU'cHlv shows partiality for the newcomer, and aciees to so with him on a voyano. Jether discovers that he has been robbed of all his remaining: funds, but refuses to recoup by playlnc witn loaded dice. NADIXA put tho dice Into tho pocket of her dress, but there was an evil light In her eyes as she saw tho young lad go to his friends, and sho murmured under her breath, "Very well, Master Jether, but thou shalt not cheat me, either." Jether linked bis arm In that of Tola. "I have loaned theo much money, Tola," ho said, easily and confidentially. "Now I need COO sheckels. Or canst thou repay 1000? 'Tls but a small part of that which I have loaned thee." Tola threw back hli head and laughed uproariously. Madal and Merbcl, noticing tho laughter, approached to learn tho cause of Tola's hilarity. "Art thou indeed mad?" cried1 Tola. "Or is it that the wine speaks through thy lips and bids somothlng como out of nothing?" Jether looked at Tola In amazement, dimly comprehending, and Tola turned away with a laugh as Jether took Madal by the nrm and spoke to him: p "And thou, Madal, thou wilt repay a small part of the loan I have mado thee?" Madal bowed In mock ns he replied, "Aye, truly, that I shall, with great Joy Jt thou wilt lend it to me." "So, thou, too, art like tho other," mut tered Jether, bitterly. The Bense pf having been swindled by these false friends woo being forced upon him. Ho had still one hope, however. MeiAel had seemed like a true friend, one who had never borrowed. He turned to Marbel, smiling. t "But thou, Merbel, thou art a true friend surely. Never once hast thou ever asked me for a shekel. Now that I need, -yii.t lend?" Merbel, with a look of disappointment, waved him aside. "If I have not borrowed, Jethor, am I not punished for my delay? I meant to borrow this very day, and now thou hast naught to lend. Oh.

As tho disconsolate Jother turned sadly away from tho group of parasites who had feasted and wined at his expense Tola drew him aside couflacntlalry.

Pharls bought with a liberal hand, decking each of tha girls with brace lets nnd anklets of gold, and largo rings, whllo his slaes with the treasury chest paid out many golden shekels to tho over joyed Sadjk. "Let this girl have whatever pleaseth her," ordered Pharls, finally, as Sadyk held up tho glittering golden necklace on his hand and dangled It before tho avaricious eyes of TIsha. Tho girl clapped her hands and gave a cry of Joy. Jethor, watching furtively this by-play nnd mad with Jealousy and rngo, rushed forward Just as TIsha was about to place tho necklace upon her shoulders. Ho grabbed -tho bauble roughly from tho old Jeweler and turned defiantly toward tho sea captain. "I hao bought this necklace," ho cried, loudly. "Aye, at a thousand shekels." agreed Sadyk, humbly. "But thou hast not yet paid for it." "Wait but a moment for thy money," commanded Jother, as he placed the neck laco around tho neck of the girl. TIsha, who did not suspect that Jether's gold had vanished, gavo a pleased cry and threw her arms around the neck of tho boy. 1 Tasty JWMf and mmd nT lu Tlti t Uh 1 1 1 1 11 f TT jlBr 4ft 1 Jlil WaW!

"I will bring theo thy money in a mo ment," said Jother, madly, nnd turned to ward tho houso. Servants of Nadlna had already brought out a tablo. Put and sev eral others were dicing. As Jether ap proached, Hadromut, tho Arabian, won two thousand shekels from Put, and roughly demanded tho money, which Put reluctantly paid over. Suddenly Jether noticed that Nadlna was close by his side, and that she was trying to hand him something unob served. "Tha dice," sho whispered. "Thou canst not loso." Jether felt his fingers close over the two equaros of Ivory. Ha clutched them nerv ously and pushed his way through the throng. This tlmo Hadramut and Put threw again, and onco moro Hadramut won n thousand shekels. Tho gamo seemed ensy! Jother hesitated, overcome by a nameless fear. Ho shook and trembled as though chilled. Suddonly a laughing cry from TIsha ns sho returned to tho arms of tho pea captatn Intoxicated him with Jealousy. He pushed his way through tho throng. "I will cast dice with thee," he said un steadily. Tola and Nadlna exchanged glances and nodded, while Merbel, who, but a moment before, had refused to lend Jether a single shekel, looked at the boy In sur priso, wondering whero ho had seourod money with which to gamble. "Ah, Jether, throw thorn," cried Put, gladly, for he liked Jether. "For a thou sand shekels " "For a thousand shekels. Aye, but throw thou first,'' replied Jether. "I have drunk much and my hand Is unsteady." Put laughed, picked up the dlco, and threw them. Tho two squares ot Ivory utritious "Dear Sirs I buy Kolb's Bond Bread because it is compact, close-grained and wholesome. It is tasty and nutritious.

Jether picked up the two dice. He drew bartc, as It to adjust his robe, held his hands out of sight behind tha cloth for a moment nnd clianged the dice. He threw. Twelve." A cry of surprise at Jether's lucky throw came from all, "Thy money," demanded Jether ner vously. , "Nay, thou shalt not quit a winner. Two thousand shekels," Insisted Put Jether picked up the two dice, quickly changed them for tho honest ones, and tossed the Ivory squares to Put. 'Two thousand shekels. Throw thou he said, huskily. Put tossed tho dice upon tha tabic "Nine," ho cried. Jether again picked up tho dice, made tho samo substitution and threw tho falso dlco upon tho board. Onco moro thero was a murmur of applause "Twelve," epoko Jether exultantly. "Thy money." "Nny, let us ngnln double stakes," cried Put, half angry at the turn of fortune. "Four thousand shekels." "Agreed." replied Jether. "Four thou sand shekels " Ho was about to throw with the false dice, when he felt his arm gripped as In a lco. Ho turned. Merbel, tho falso friend, who had Intended to borrow nnd had put it off until too late, held his arm and seized tha dlco from his nerveless lingers. "Ono moment, friends," cried Merbel. "Walt and Bee. Look!" He tossed tho dice upon tha table. "Twelve," he said, sternly, looking at Jether. who hung his head In shame. "Again It is twelve onoo moro twelve.
