Without reflecting, without hesitation, he ran toward the house, and thanks to his stylish clothes and determined mien, easily secured admittance. While these short scenes were occurring in the street, in the dining-kiosk of the greater gods there was passed from hand to hand a piece of parchment on which were written in red ink these fateful words: Mene, Tekel, Phares Juan Crisostomo Ibarra
"Where are you staying in Havre?" He looked at me suspiciously. "What do you want to know for?" "To save you from being murdered, as you would most certainly be if we chanced upon the same hotel." "I'm staying at the Phares the swagger one on the beach near the Casino." "Excellent," said I. "Go on swaggering. Good-bye." "Good-bye, old pal," said he.
Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
"Forty, forty dollars I have forty dollars offered for the highboy all done at forty " There was a tense silence. "Forty dollars all done at forty last call going going gone. Gone at forty dollars to Phares Eby." Phœbe turned to the preacher. "Did you bid just for the fun of bidding?" she asked. "Well," he replied slowly, "the cases are not exactly alike. You like the highboy, don't you?"
Like the phares that flashed the alarm from hill-top to hill-top or the tocsin that sang from belfry to belfry in the Basse Bretagne, in the days of the rising of the Vendee, so those beacons would communicate as swiftly the tidings that one band or tribe had to convey to another.
Before they could answer she added with seeming innocency, yet with a swift glance into the face of the farmer boy, "I must go now so I'll be home when Phares comes to invite me to that sale. I'm going with him; I'm wild to go." "Yes?" David said slowly. "Yes," she repeated, a teasing look in her eyes. "Mommie, isn't she fine?" David said after Phœbe was gone and he lingered in the house.
"I'll learn you," he growled, "to meddle in my business! You mind your own, d'ye hear?" "Why" Phares knew no words to answer the insult "why, David," he stammered, wiping his smarting lips. But his silence added fuel to the other's wrath. "You butt in too much, that's what!" said David. "It's just like Phœbe says, you boss too much. I ain't going to take it no more from you."
Among them were Asaad and Phares Shidiak, from the Maronite Church; a lady from the Latin Church; Dionysius, Gregory Wortabet, Jacob, and the wife of Dionysius, of the Armenian Church; the wife of Wortabet and Yooseph Leflufy, of the Greek Catholic Church; and Asaad Jacob and Tannûs el-Haddad, of the Greek Church.
He should know nothing about it until it was definitely settled. The thought of studying music in Philadelphia left her restless. If only the preacher would be more talkative! "It's just perfect to-day, isn't it, Phares?" she asked radiantly, resolved to make him talk.
Anyhow, you go on home. I'm goin' to hang round a while and see if Miss Lee does anything mean." Phares went on alone and the other boy stole to a window and crouched to the ground. Inside the room Phœbe waited tremblingly for the teacher to speak. It seemed ages before Miss Lee walked down the aisle and stood by the low desk.
