ROBBED IN A PYRAMID.
Arabs Turned baltimore Mans

From the Baltimore American.
81 wanted to visit the pyramids" said
DR.. James J. Mills, in talking about his
recent European trip, land l undertook
to do it without being accompanied by
dragoman. Against the advice of friends
1 set out on the back of a donkey, with
no attendant save the donkey boy. As
the boy could speak no English, and l
could speak no Arabian, we did not talk
much.
1--WE We're followed out of Cairo by
swarm of beggars. whose only cry was
Backsheesh, backsheesh When we
reached the vicinity of the pyramids we
were met by a horde of Arabs who could
speak but a few words of broken Eng
lish. They volunteered TO take me inside
the pyramid. With two of these wild
looking sons of the desert we entered the
great pyramid of CheOps, descending
long, gloomy passages, passing the brink
OF an enormous well, traversing a foot
way which led along by the tombs of nu-
merous dead, and up narrow passage
way with a floor as smooth as glass.
Here the ascent was so steep that it
was necessary for one Arab to go in front
and pun me along, while the other came
behind and pushed. When we reached the
end of this passageway we sat down to
rest. The atmosphere was sitting. while
myriads of black bats few clumsily about
and save an uncanny appearance to the
place. 1t was then that my two Arab
guides began TO think of 'backsheesh'
and ask in English, which I could under
stand painfully well, how much money l
had. 1t was no place to argue with them
for if they had left me there 1 might have
been there yet.

not understand, but the result of it All
was that they turned my pockets inside
