with the internal laws Of good and evil. and
with the mystery Of that trust which ia
held Of man; also ] learned the secrets of
the pyramids-which would that had
never known. Further, / read the records
of the past, and Of the acts and words Of
the ancient kings who were before me
since the rule of Horus upon earth; and I
was made to learn all craft of state. the
lore Of earth, and with it the records Of
Greece and Rome. Also I learned the Gre
clan and the Roman tongues, of which in.
deedI already had some knowledge ge-anc
all this while, even for five years, kept NV
hands clean and my heart pure, anu did no
evil in the sight Of God or man; but L.
bored heavily to acquire all things, and to
prepare myself for the destiny that await
ed me.
Twice every year came greetings and let
ters from my father, Amenemhat, aud twice
every year sent back my answers asking
# the time had come to cease from labor
And SO the Us of my probation sped away
till grew faint and weary at heart, for be-
ing now man, ay, and learned, longed to
make beginning OF the life of men. And
ofttimes l wondered if this talk and prophe-
cy Of the things there were to be was but q
dream born Of the brains of men whose
wish ran before their thought ! was, in
deed, of the royal blood, that knew; for
ny uncle, Sepa, the Priest, showed me the
secret record Of the descent, traced without
break from father unto son, and craven IN
mystic symbols upon tablet OF the stone Of
Syene. But Of what avail was it to be royal
by right when Egypt, my heritage, was
slave-a slave to do the pleasure and minis
ter to the luxury of the Macedonian Lagide
-ay, and when she had been so long serf
that, perchance, she had forgot how to put
of the servile smile of bondage and once
more to look across the world with free
dom's glorious eyes!
And then l bethought me OF my prayer
upon the pylon tower OF Abouthis and OF
the answer to my prayer, and wondered ii
that, too, were dream.
And one night, as weary with study, I
walked within the sacred grove that is in
the temenos Of the Temple, and thought
such thoughts as these, / met my Uncle
Scpa, who also was walking and thinking.
"Hold!' he cried, in his great voice;
"why is thy face so sad, Harm ,chis? Hath
the last problem that we studied over
whelmed thee"
"Nay, M uncle" answered. II am
overwhelmed, indeed, but not of the
problem; it was light one. Ny heart is
heavy within me, for l am aweary Of life
within these cloisters. and the piled-up
weight Of knowledge crushes me. 1t is OF
no avail to store up force which can not be
used"
"Ah! thou art impatient, Harmachis," he
answered; sit is ever the way of foolish
youth. Thou wOuldst taste of the battle:

as, when they are grown, he swallows fly

Well, it shall be as thou desirest; the hour
Is at hand. I have taught thee oil that /

hath outrun his master" And he paused
and wiped his bright black eyes, for he
was very sad at the thought of my depart

now; things are thus: Thou knowest how
Cleopatra, the Queen, fed into Syria when
that false euuuch Pothinus set the will Of
Auletes at naught and raised her brother
Ptoemy to the sole lordship of Egypt Thou
knowest also how she came back. like Q
Queen indeed, with q great army in her
train, and lay at PelusIm, and how at this
juncture the mighty Cesar, that great man,
that greatest of all men, sailed with q weak
company hither to Alexandria from Phar-
salla's bloody field in hot pursuit Of Pompey.
But he found Pompey already dead, having
been basely murdered by Achillas, the Cen
eral, and Lucius Septimius, the chief Of the
Roman legions in Egypt; and thou knowest
how the Alexandrians were troubled at his
coming and would have slain his lictors-
Then. as thou hast heard, Caesar seized
Ptolemy, the young King, and his sister
Arsinoe, and bade the army Of Cleopatra
- At
which lay facing each other at Pelusim, dis
band and go their ways. And for
answer Achillas marched on Caesar and be-
sieged him straitly in the Bruchium at
Alexandria, and 50, for awhile, things
were, and none knew who should reign in
Egypt. But then Cleopatra took up the dice
and threw them, andthis was the throw she
made-in truth it was bold one. For,
leaving the army at Pelusim, she came at
dusk to the harbor Of Alexandria, and alone
with the Strilian Apolloiorus ent red and
landed. Then did Apollodorus bind her in
q bale Of rich rugs. such as are made In
Syria. and sent the rugs as a present TO
Cesar. And when the rugs were unbound
IN the palace, behold within them was the
fairest girl On all the earth-ay, and the
most witty and the most learned. And she
seduced the great Cesar even his weight
Of years did not avail, to protect HIM from
her charms-so that, as fruit OF his folly,
he well nigh lost his HE and all the glory
he had gained in hundred wars"
