what to do; for, had they hid me, the guards
would not have stayed their search till I
was found. And the man, gazing through
the doorway, saw a little child at play.
"Woman," he said, 1'Whose is that child?"
"It is my grandchId," she answered,
''the foster brother Of the Prince Harma-
chis; the child to whose mother we owe this
evil case''
woman" he said, s'thou knowest thy
duty; do it!' and he again pointed at the
child II command thee, by the Holy Name!'
And she trembled exceedingly, because
tie child was Of her own blood; but, never
theless, she took the boy and washed him
and set on him robe of silk and laid him
on my cradle. And me she took and
smeared with mud to make my fair skin
darker, and took my garment from me, and
set me to play in the dirt Of the yard, which
aid right gladly.
Then the man hid himself, and presently
the soldiers rode up and asked Of the old
wife if this were the dwelling of the High
Priest Amenemhats She told them yea,
and bade them enter, and offered them
honey and milk, for they were athirst.
Thereafter the eunuch that was with them
ked if that were the son of Amenemhat
who lay in the cradle, and she said: "Yea

he would be great, for it had been prophe-
sled of him that he should one day rule
them all
Thereon the Greek guards laughed, and
one of them, seizing the child, smote off its
head with a sword; and the eunuch drew
forth the signet of Pharaoh as warrant for
the deed and showed it to the old wife,
4toua, bidding her tell the High Priest
taat his son should be d King without a
head.
And as they went one of their NUMBER
SAW me playing in the dirt and called out
that there was more breeding in yonder
brat than in the Prince Harmachis; and for
moment they wavered, thinking to slay
me also, but in the end they passed on,
bearing the head of my foster-brother, for
they loved not to murder little children.
But, after awhile, the mother of the dead
child returned from the market place, and
when she found what had been done she
and her husband would have slain Atoua
the old wife, her mother, and given me up
to the soldiers of Pharaoh; but my father
came in likewise and learned the truth, and
he caused the man and his wife to be seized
by night and hid away in the dark places of
the Temple, so that none saw them more.
But / would to-day it had been the will of
the Gods that / had been slain of the sol
diers and not the innocent child
And thereafter it was given out that the
High Priest Amenemhat had taken me to be

machis who was slain of Pharaoh

was he terribly afraid, as I have learned
from one who was his physician; for when
he was alone at night he would scream and
cry aloud to the great Scraps, who, indeed,
is no true God, and to other Gods, fearing
lest he should be murdered and his soul
handed over to the tormentors. Also when
he felt his throne tremble under him, he
would send large presents to the temples,
and ask a message from the oracles, and
more especially from the oracle that Is at
Phile. Therefofe, when it came to his ears
that the wife of the High Priest of the great
and ancient temple of Abouthis had, ere she
died. been filed with the Spirit of Prophecy,
and prophesied that her son would be
Pharaoh he was much afraid, and sum
moning some trusty guards-who, being
Greeks, feared not to 40 sacrllege-he dis
patched them by boat up the Nile with or
ders to come to Abouthis and cut off the
head Of the child Of tie High Priest and
bring it to him in a basket.
But, as it chanced, the boat wherein the
guards came was of deep draught, and the
time Of their coming being at the lowest
ebb of the river, it struck and remained
fast upon bank of mud that is opposite
the mouth Of the road that runs across to
the plains of Abouthis, aud as the north
wind was blowing very fercely it was like
to sink. Thereon the guards of Pharaoh
called out to the common people, who la
bored at lifting water along the banks OF
the river ocome with boats and take them
oH; but seeing that they were Greeks or
Alexandria, the people would not, for the
Egyptians love not the Greeks. Then they
cried out that they were on Pharaoh's busi-
ness, and still the people would not asking
what was the business. Whereon a eunuch
among them, who had made himself
drunken in his fear, told them that they
came to slay the child of Amenemhat, the
High Priest, Of whom it was prophesied
that he should be Pharaoh and. sweep the
Greeks from Egypt. And then the people
feared to stand longer in doubt, but
brought boats, not knowing what might
be meant by the mans words. But one
there was among them--a farmer
and an overseef Of canals--who was a kins-
man of my mothers and had been present
when she prophesled; and he turned and
ran swiftly for three parts of an hour, till
he came to where | lay in the house that
is without the north wall of the great tenn
pie. Now, as it CHANGED, my father was
away in that part Of the Place of Tombs
which is to the left of the large fortress,
and Pharaoh's guards, mounted on asses,
were hard upon us, Then the messenger
cried to the old wife, Atoua, whose tongue
had brought about the evil and told how
the soldiers drew near to slay me. And
