There were many broad fields and lovely mead- ows which had some famous memory or pretty story connected with them, but none which he felt was specially worthy of this great honor. One night, during the harvest time of the year, Solomon lay tossing on his silken pillows, unable to sleep. From the broad, arched windows he could see out into the fragrant shadowy gardens, where tall palms were quivering and roses waving in the warm breeze. Far-off nightin- vitally interested gales were trilling their songs to the Dimino these clays of high cost of living every wan should be dazzlingly bright harvest-moon. And the money he can save.

And Solomon arose silently, and flung a dark robe of satin around him, and took his favorite servant Benaiah with him, and they went forth. They walked with magical rapidity; the ground flew by them on either side as if they were riding on swift steeds. In a few minutes they stood on Mount Zion overlooking a large, new-mown field. Now this field belonged to two brothers, one of whom was poor and unmarried, the other of whom was rich and had a loving wife and pretty sons and daughters. The poor one only owned a small part of the field; his house was narrow and unpainted, and his barn was no bigger than his house. The rich brother had a large and pleasant dwelling and two great barns that were now packed nearly full with his share of the sheaves of Stevens Building wheat.
