London,  From The Roof Of His House,  In What Honour He Was Held,  By

Means Of The Rattling Of Trays And Clashing Of Pans,  Since He Had

Accepted Service With The Heathen As Toll-Keeper And Demanded Money

Even On The Sabbath.

The Lean Tax-Gatherer Sat In A Corner Of His Room And Saw The Dust Fly

From The Ceiling,  Which Seemed To Shake Beneath The Clatter.  He Saw,

Too,  How The Morning Sun Shining In At The Window Threw A Band Of Light

Across The Room,  In Which Danced Particles Of Dust Like Little Stars.

He Listened,  And Saw,  And Was Silent.  When They Had Had Enough Of

Dancing On The Roof They Jumped To The Ground,  Made Grimaces At The

Window,  And Departed.

A Little,  Bustling Woman Came Out Of The Next Room,  Stole Up To The

Man,  And Said: "Levi,  It Serves You Right!"

"Yes,  I Know,  Judith," He Answered,  And Stood Up.  He Was So Tall That

He Had To Bend His Head In Order Not To Strike It Against The Ceiling.

His Beard Hung Down In Thin Strands; It Was Not Yet Grey,  Despite His

Pale,  Tired Face.

"They Will Stone You,  Levi,  If You Continue To Serve The Romans,"

Exclaimed The Woman.

"They Hated Me Even When I Did Not Serve The Romans," Said The Man.

"Since That Feast Of Tabernacles At Tiberias When I Said That Mammon

And Desire Of Luxury Had Estranged The God Of Abraham From The Chosen

People,  And Subjected Them To Jupiter,  They Have Hated Me."

"But You Yourself Follow Mammon," She Returned.

"Because Since They Hate Me I Must Create A Power For Myself Which Will

Support Me,  If All Are Against Me.  It Is The Power With Which The

Contemned Man Conquers His Bitterest Enemies.  You Don't Understand Me?

Look There!"  He Bent Down In A Dark Corner Of The Chamber,  Lifted An

Old Cloth,  And Displayed To View A Stone Vessel Like A Mortar.  "Real

Romans," He Said,  Grinning; "Soon A Small Army Of Them.  And Directly

It Is Big Enough,  The Neighbours Won't Climb On To The Roof And Sing

Praises To Levi With Pots And Pans,  But With Harps And Cymbals."

"Levi,  Shall I Tell You What You Are?" Exclaimed The Woman,  The Muscles

Of Her Red Face Working.

"I Am A Publican,  As I Well Know," He Returned Calmly,  Carefully

Covering His Money Chest With The Cloth.  "A Despised Publican Who

Takes Money From His Own People To Give To The Stranger,  Who Demands

Toll-Money Of The Jews Although They Themselves Made The Roads.  Such A

One Am I,  My Judith!  And Why Did I Become A Roman Publican?  Because I

Wished To Gain Money So As To Support Myself Among Those Who Hate Me."

"Levi,  You Are A Miser," She Said.  "You Bury Your Money In A Hole

Instead Of Buying Me A Greek Mantle Like What Rebecca And Amala Wear."

"Then I Shall Remain A Miser," He Replied,  "For I Shall Not Buy You A

Greek Mantle.  Foreign Garments Will Plunge The Jews Into Deeper Ruin

Than My Roman Office And Roman Coins.  It Is Not The Receipt Of Custom,

My Dear Wife,  That Is Idolatry,  But Desire Of Dress,  Pleasure,  And

Luxury.  Street Turnpikes Are Not Bad At A Time When Our People Begin

To Be Fugitives In Their Own Land,  And With All Their Trade And Barter

To Export The Good And Import The Evil.  Since The Law Of Moses

Respecting Agriculture There Has Been No Better Tax Than The Roman

Turnpike Toll.  What Have The Jews To Do On The Road?"

"You Will Soon See," Said Judith.  "If I Don't Have The Greek Mantle In

Two Days From Now,  You'll See Me On The Road,  But From Behind."

"You Don't Look Bad From Behind," Mischievously Returned Levi.

The Knocker Sounded Without.  The Tax-Gatherer Looked Through The

Window,  And Bade His Wife Undo The Barrier.  She Went Out And Raised A

Piercing Cry,  But Did Not Unclose The Barrier.  Several Men Had Come

Along The Road,  And Were Standing There; The Woman Demanded The Toll.

A Little Man With A Bald Head Stepped Forward.  It Was The Fisherman

From Bethsaida.  He Confessed That They Had No Money.  Thereupon The

Woman Was Very Angry,  For It Was Her Secret Intention Thenceforth To

Keep The Toll Money Herself In Order To Buy The Greek Purple Stuff Liauthor's Name Appears In Full At The End Of The Address "To

      The Parliament."
