her: "A princess!" She paid no heed.
At the synagogue she took her place
near her mother-in-law, lowered her
silken eyelashes, opened with her
tittle white hands the silver clasps of
the gilt edged prayer-book and her
lips began to tremble She
had a scorn for jewelry, so they all
said: "What need has she of jewels?
She herself is a jewel." To her
oung husband she was the very apple
of his eye. A beautiful being out-
wardly, but within her?
Within was her father's inn with
its songs and dances and games. Be-
tween her and the outer world stood
always the picture of the young noble-
man. When she closed her eyes her
blood ran .riot .within her, and she
saw herself .dancing with the young
nobleman at the inn, or riding with
him—galloping on his milk-white
horse over fields afar. And when
her ! husband leaned over she would
shut her eyes and would embrace
and kiss—whom? The young noble-
man. Her husband, who loved her
beautiful eyes, would plead with her:
"Dear life, open your pretty eyes-
plose gates of Paradise." But on no
account would she do so—nor would
she let him withdraw, but held him

In other words—if a merchant can use good buying
sense to make money for himself he ought to share
part of the profits he gets from "smart" buying with
his customers—

Very different was the lot of Ya-
chiel Michael's older daughter, Na-
choma.
After the sumptuous wedding feast
of his younger, Vachiel Michael left
Prague for home with just a few coins
in his pockets. At the border line of
his village he saw all his household
goods, the bedding, the tables, the
benches of the inn, lying twit-melt un-
der the open sky, with one of the
squire's peasants keeping watch over
them. The watchman did not allow
him to enter the village.
His wife and daughter began to
weep and plead: "Let its at least enter
the village to talk to the squire!" But
the peasant lowered his firearm and
threatened to shoot. Vachiel Michael
understood that it was all over. He
could not return to Prague because
he had no money—just a few florins
left over after the wedding—and then
Ile did not wish to disgrace his newly
married daughter by his poverty. So,
with his wife and daughter, he betook
himself to another village, where he
begged and obtained permission to
sell all manner of petty ware. And

in her hand, and upon reaching a
forest, climbed up the nearest tree,
intending to stay there among the
branches until dawn. As she sat there,
saying her evening prayers, she heard
the barking of dogs and the pattering
of their feet. The sounds grew louder
and she understood that a party of
noblemen were hunting for game in
the forest. She tried to hide herself
among the branches, but the dogs
gave mouth, barking tip-tree, and two
riders approached in haste to see
what was the matter. The two riders
were both young noblemen, and they
climbed up the tree and took the girl
down by force, and built a fire to look
at her in its glare. They beheld a
Jewish girl, a very pretty one, though
half starved. They assured her they
would do her no harm—God forbid!
They told her that she shone in 'the
darkness like the morning star. All
that was necessary was to change her
clothes. Then she would be as bright
as a queen and as fragrant as a rose.
Her heart sank at these words.
Then she heard the two quarreling
about their prey—each one wanting
her for himself, each claiming that
she belonged to hint, that his dog had
been the first to scent her.
Finally, they decided upon a duel
to the death, and whoever would re-
