Oh, woe is me and mine! They look upon me as an outcast. Father, why do you stand there wrapped in apathy? Why do you not go forth and lash their tender flesh? How I could stand and smile upon them as they writhed under the whist ling, cutting lash. They hate, despise and heap ignominy upon me. I—I whom you call a daughter of Jacob. Father, are you duuib? Do you hear me?" She was a grand, a beautiful creature. There was the fierce beauty of the tiger- cat about her now as she stood there in the faint, crimson light of the money changer’s office. Her face was aglow with rage; every limb and muscle of her superb person quivered with passion. The old man, over three score and ten, with a beard as white as the snow drifts outside falling upon his hollow chest,*raised his trembling hand, com manding the girl to be silent while he spoke: “Rebecca, our race is a long-suffering one. We await the lapse of years often before we strike; but when the blow fal's the vict'm quivers in agony. We never forget a wrong; we never forgive an injury. You, my child, areadaugh ter of Jacob. In your veins courses the blood of kings. The poor, petted, fee ble, pale lilies—daughters of the Chris tians—should be but as faint rays of moonlight, lights to hide away and van ish when you, the glowing, scintillating sun’s ray, sweep athwart them. The lion of the desert is strong, and when he roars the sons of man tremble. Be, then, not the queen, the fierce purring tigress, but the deadly cobra, for in the sting of the smoothly gliding serpent is the bane and poison of fatality.” As the aged Jew spoke the girl crouched lower and lower. The faint rustling of her dress and the deep- breathed words of her father were the only sounds that broke the ominous, painful silence of the office. The crimson bars of light from the colored globes fell upon the crouching girl’s face, adding warmth, fire, to the surge of hate that swept over those beauteous features. The thin nostrils quivered and the veiled brows throbbed as she pressed her hands convulsively to her heaving bosom and listened, hun grily, greedily drinking in each word that fell from her father’s lips. “And the cobra stings to the death?” “To the death, ever, always!” “And the lion?” “Not always kills—" “But mangles. Yes, mangles the vic tim. Deprives him of his beauty, causes him to hate, despise and loathe himself as he sees in the glass the ruin worked. I will be the lion." The girl arose with composed features and emotions in subjection. She had made up her mind what she should do. She would mangle her victim. She would not be the cobra. The fatal sting would smart for an instant and thou all would be over. No; she will not be the cobra. She will play the part of the lion. Her victim shall be mangled. He shall see his possessions pass from him. He shall hate the day he was ever bom as he writhes under the sharp, white, cruel teeth of the lion. “Love blinds you, Rebecca. ” “Love lifts the scales from my eyes, father. I do love him. That you know. I love him as woman never before loved—” “Sh, my poor child, it is in the blood. The maidens of our race love all or naught in naught. There is not the gentle breath of consideration to cool the lava stream of passion. It is a part of the curse. A part of the curse!” The old man turned away, took a small lamp from the side bracket and left the room. It was now late. Rebecca covered the fire in the grate, fastened the door and windows, lighted a wax candle, put out the lamp light and went up to her chamber. No sleep greeted the beauti ful creature’s eyes. She chose her des tiny from the clear sky above her as she sat there with her arms crossed upon the window sill reading the stars. • • * • * • • “And you would borrow $50,000?” The words fell in clear-cut tones of irony from the old Jew's white bearded lips. “Yes; no less, no more. Can you let me have the sum ?” “And the security T' “My estate Is that sufficient ?” “It would be if—” “Well, if what?" interrupted the young man as an angry flush passed over his face. His very soul re volted at this task. He hated, despised all Jews. It sickened him to stand here at this man’s mercy and answer dis agreeable questions. “My dear young man. It is a large sum. I can not let you have it unless you give me lietter security than your estate." “Explain your meaning, old man. I did not come here out of mere hu mor. Business is my task. Will you or will you not give me the sum?” "No." “Then I will go further. Old Isaac will give me what I require." “Isaac is posted; oh, excuse me, I did not intend to cause you worry." “What does Isaac know?" asked the young man as he leaned forward. “He knows what I know—" “And that is?” “That your estate is incumbered now beyond its value.

The Cemetery Will Be Practically Closed lu Twenty-five Yearn lienee—Beat Mar ble for Mauumouts Coffins—Tree Roots. and Wood for Superintendent L. J. Wells, of Greenwood 1 cemetery, is a pleasant voiced man with gray hair, who has had the care of New York and 1 Brooklvn’B great repository for the dead for many years. He has seen Greenwood grow from a vacant, unimproved plot of 200 acres to a tract of surpassing beauty, peopled with nearly 250,000 of dead, and covering nearly a square mile of territory. Mr. Wells con siders Greenwood the largest and finest cemetery in the world. It was chartered in ’|838, and the first burial was that of Sarah Hannah, of this city, on Sept. 5, 1840. Now ¿here are more than 230,100 bodies buried there. “Is the cemetery Urge enough now!” asked the reporter. “It is large enough to furnish lots for the next twenty-five years, and after that we don’t care. The lots will be large enough to accommodate their owners for years to come, and we shall have a surplus large enough to keep the grounds in order forever.” “Then Greenwood will be practically closed a quarter of a century hence.” “That is the idea exactly. It is large enough now to be readily bandied. Our fund for the permanent rare of the cemetery is be ing added to steadily, and now amounts to 1861,890.22. Our trust fund for the care of •pecial graves is already a large one, and we have had the cemetery boundaries fixed by the streets and boulevards of the city, so that the present boundaries will be permanent. All that will be done to the grounds after 1910, then, will be to keep them looking beautiful.” • NOT A STOCK COMPANY. “You see, the Greenwood Cemetery corpo ration is not a stock company, as most simi lar associations are. It is a trust company, and no one gets any money out of it save the employes. All that remains after the unnual expenses are paid is added to the sur plus fund that is being put away for the future care of the cemetery. Every lot owner is a stockholder. There are over 25,000 of them. Every improvement has been made upon the grounds. We have stone crushers, artesian wells, thorough sew erage, and have just finished a new reservoir to hold 637,000 gallons, that stands on Mount "/Washington, the highest point on Long Island, and is about 220 feet above tide- iruter. This stores the water pumped from jnr wells, and gives greater and much eroded pressure. A new eight-inch water >iain will be laid this fall, taking the place of one of our four inches. The changes in Greenwood since I came here in 1848 have been marvelous. 1 am the only one left of the attaches who were hbre then.” “What is the most durable material for monuments!” “Dark blue granite, from Quincy, Mass.

All inclosure» now are req aired to be of granite coping, or granite and liars of either galvanized iron or brass. No iron chains or hedges are allowed. This course will keep the grounds from disfigurement in after years. It is the result of dearly- bought experience. Brownstone! No, there hasn’t been any brownstone used here for twenty years.

Many of the coffins that they sell now are simply glued together—not even nailed. We’ve learned this from ef^jerience. After bodies have lieen left in the receiving vault a few weeks the glue is dissolved by moisture and the coffins come apart. Metal lic coffins are readily affected by heat and cold and hence spring and break; that is, they do in receiving vaults.” “Does a wooden box protect a coffin!” “On the contrary, if marie of pine it will warp quickly and <*atch and retain water, hastening decay.

But as long as a Dody b to remain where it is buried, it makes little difference what it is encased in.” “Do trees push their roots into graves as much as is popularly supposed!” “Some trees are bad for cemeteries—two that I have in mind particularly.
