the Seven Rivers"

the wise men, and they at once dis
patched royal couriers with orders to
search every house till they could find
the maiden to whom the slipper be-
longed and whose foot it should fit.
The messengers went over all the
land of Egypt and at last came to the
palace where Nefertsu lived as slave.
Now Nefertsus mistress had a daugh-
ter who when she heard of the kings
proclamation, determined that she
would be queen. So when the mes
sengers arrived at the palace she APP
peared before them, very meek, and
delicate, and said:
''Ah, you have brought back my
slipper. 1t is very kind of you. 1
valued the pair very highly"
Anc she showed them the mate to

But the messenger had two or three
idoas of his own, SO he answered:

goddess Isis, whose statue is in the
great temple"
And he wooed her even as Thothmes
the grandfather wooed the dark-eyed
Nitaker of Thebes. What better could
Nefertsu do?' She married him, and
there was great wedding. There
were professions to the temples and
costly sacrifices made to the gods.
As the bridal party went to the
temple the daughter of Nefertsu's
mistress went out to see the show.
She was sorry for it ever after, for a
dove picked out her eyes SO that she
was always bind. But Nefertsu
had so much pity for her that she took
her home to the royal palace and made
her chief lady of honor, though all
