absolutely breathless, on q heap Of
beautifully soft sand under the ster-fit
sky.
As may bs supposed. a long time
elapsed before we came to ourselves
after this last fearful experience.
What we had gone through before was
bad enough, but nothing could stand,
: or even approach, the awful sensation
OF falling through darkness. in momen-
tary expectation of being destroyed in
some terrible manner.
When we were once more sufficiently
collected to look about us with some
thing like compOsure found that ne
had emerged in the temple Of the
Sphinx. It was almost ineonceivable
that we could have come all that dis
lance underground, but the incontest-
able fact remained that VIC had done
so. The great block OF stone which
yielded so readily to my foot had fallen
back into its original position, and was
indistinguishablc from the rest It
was impossible, therefore, to tell which
one 1t was, though / tried for some
time to identify it.
Thus ended this most extraordinary
adventure. Sometimes it seems to me
like dream, and the few people to
whom we have related it have invari-
ably been politely increduious. The
queens ring however remains It is
unquestionably c genuine relic Of the
ancient times, and experts all unite in
assigning to it an age that is almost
fabulous.

But She "Was Glad" limo Hadn't Made
ANY Change in Her.
The following anecdOte has both a
comical and pathetic side. What a long
time fifty years is in the life of a
human being! And how far apart, how
unlike in tastes, feelings, opinions and
habits, men and women can become,
who in childhood slept under the same
roof, attended the same school and
dreamed Of nothing but Of being friends
forever A gentleman whose "courtly
manners" were mentioned in all the
newspapers when he died, few years
after this incident, fancied in his old
age that he wished to see his boyhood
friends, and most of all, the fair
young girl, whose love long years be-
fore, be almost, but not quite, had
dared to ask.
He forgot country manners and called
at half-past eleven in the forenoon. He
was asked to walk right out into the
kitchen" as there wasnO fire anywhere
else.
His early admiration stood before
him, in worn calico dress, no collar and
wide and not faultlessly clean apron.
Her half-combed grizzly hair was
tucked under rusty black lace cap,
trimmed with faded purple ribbon. She
had no teeth and huge pair Of silver
bowed spectacles were pushed up on
her brown, wrinlzled forehead

tending to meet her with one and thus
bridge the chasm of years. But he
changed his mind when through his
gold-bowed glasses he took in the pic.
ture before him.
Wiping her hands on her apron she
gave him a hearty handshake and bade
him "sit right down, adding that they
were killing hogs and trying W
lard, but if he would "stay to dinner"
she would have "a fire put in the front
room"
Of course he declined the invitation,
and for his own comfort, as well as for
his convenience, he determined to make
his call short. Still, hemust say some
thing complimentary before leaving,
but what could he say?
Just then the lard boiled over, and
with shrill cry to her daughter to
"come quick, the woman jumped up
and caught hold of the kettle. The
smoke and perfume were in themselves
far from agreeable, but they were
grateful to the caller, as they gave him
a chance for the desired compliment.

in sumptuous robes, and on the head OF
each was an elaborate structure, partly
crown and partly tiara. The form on
the right hand was that of an old man,
with very prominent features and a
small pointed beard almost snow-white
Ia color, but his partner was a lovely
female 10 the bloom of youth.
The eyes of the stately pair were
wide open and seemed to be fixed
on US with a stern, inquiring ex-
preston, while the flesh tints and gen
eral appearance were so absolutely
lifelike that we both sank down on
our knees, terrified at the imperial as
pect of the mysterious monarch and his
bride.
twas not for some considerable time
that we mustered up enough courage
to approach the dais, but seeing that
the figures remained perfectly motion
less we at length ventured to do so.
On somewhat closer inspection it
turned out that our involuntary hom-
age to royalty had in reality been paid
to the king of terrors. The two shapes
on the couch were mummies, but the
embalming process had been so per-
fectly and artistically carried out that
even the lapse of centuries had not
given rise to the slightest sign of de-
cay. The glittcring eyes that had
caused us so much fear turned out to
be simply 4 skillful combination of dia-
monds and crystal, fitted with minute
springs that allowed of an inGnitessimal
amount Of movement in the orbs under
the influence Of the faintcst current of
air, In this way the iifelcss effect of
perfect immobility was obviatcd, and
it was only natural that at first we
should have thought ourselves in the
presence of living beings,
The left hand of the youthful bride
of countless summers was hanging
near the edge of the couch, and a ring

her fingers, was lying on the floor at

Had VIC waited patiently in the cham
Der it would no doubt have been pos
sible to make our way out in the usual
manner. but it was too late to think of
that row. There was no course open
but TO 60 on, so said nothing about
our terrible mistake to my wife, who
had not noticed the noise, being in
front and absorbed by the spectacle be-
fore her.
AS regards the modus operandi Of the
wondrous mechanism by means of
which the passage was opened and
closed, can only offer my opinion, ar
rived at after much subsequent refec-
ton on the subject. In some incom-
prehensible way the moons rays, in
tensifed or otherwise affected by the
lenses, are ably to act on some hidden
machinery = probably hydraulic - to
such an extent that the huge block of
stone is won't to fall and rise periodi-
cally at certain seasons, dependent on
the lunar phases. Of course this is
mere surmise, but it seems to be the
simplest way of accounting for the
phenomena we witnessed. I am thor
oughly convinced in my own mind that
it was the lens-frame that governed
the movement of the gigantic opercu-
lum, and | deeply regret that while we
were crawling up the gallery did not
observe the construction of the walls
more attentively, especially at the
lower end, and also along the whole
extent.
said just now that my wife was en-
tranced at the spectacle that met her
view on emerging from behind the lens
frame. 1t was indeed no wonder that
this should be so; and when I followed
her, after a few moments, l too, was
equally stricken with amazement. A
vast, lofty hall, decorated in a style,
and with a degree Of richness surpass-
ing anything either of lis had ever seen,
appeared before us; everything it con.
tanned being clearly visible in the brill
liant yet soft toned light. It was oc-
tagonal in shape, with curtained re-
cess in one Of the sides; the other seven

being thic!lly covered with sculptured
figures similar to the temple coverings
of upper Egypt, save Ghat the coloring
was superb and as bright as the day it
was FIRST laid on. Interspersed in all
directions were glittering trophies com
posed apparently of jewels and pre-
cious stones, while in inches and on
pedestais were statues exceeding life
size. and either made of solid gold and
silver, or else thickly covered with lay
ers of the precious metals. To give an
adequate idea of the majestic apart
ment, and all that it contained, would
require volume; it is impossible to do
more than indicate in a fragmentary
manner some few special points that
hurried examination enabled us to no
tiea.
Rising to our feet we gazed around in
wonder, not unmixed with awe, and
then slowly advanced in the direction
of the recess, pausing at every stop to
contemplate the astonishing objects
that were to be seen on all sides. The
hall seemed tcnantless, but when we
had crossed about one-third Of the floor
the curtains eoneealing the recess

was a scarab set in gold, and on the
inner surface there was a very clearly
cut cartouch.
Having by this time almost got over
our supernatural alarm we were nat
uraIly anxious to examine the royal
mummies more accurately, and for this
purpose proceeded to ascend the two or
three steps which, | should have said
before, separated the recess from the
remainder of the hall. These steps
were wide and shallow, but otherwise
not remarkable. Hand in hand we adj

an inclined plane with frightful ra-

that we had experienced during cur
Imprisonment in the chamber. The
revolving stone on which we stimuli
taneously stepped simply swung back
into position, while with eyer-increas-
ing momentum we shot down, down,
apparently into the very bowels Of the
earth.
How long the awful slide continued
neither Of US was ever able to say. The
suddenness Of the occurrence quite
startled Us out of our wits, though
like drowning people we still retained
our mutual clasp. At last the rate Of
progress began to slacken sensibly;

A MussUoK RACE.
The Oldest Sport Yet Devised BY Idle
Men.

The Oldest Sport Yet Devised by Idle
Men.
The mussuck race is the queerest
known in the history of civilized sport.
Imagine lot of well-tO-do, well-fed,
well-dressed men plunging into tank
and padding along on inflated goat
skins!
Yet, says the New York Journal, that
is just what is done by English army
officers and civilians in India.
Their excuse is that life in garrison
towns is frightfully slow, and that
they need ali the amusement that they
can find or invent.
At the Calcutta swimming bath la
dies attend in large numbers to wit
ness the annual sports and races.
Among all the exhibitions of swim
ming. racing and diving none produce
merriment like the mussuck race,
which has to be swan in full costume,
with boots and tall hat. any competitor
being counted ont who arrives at the
goal-onc hundred feet from the start
ing point-with head uncovered.
a mussuck is a tanned goat-sl1in
which, when used by water-carricrs.
has all the openings sewn up except at
the neck. and is in use throughout all
those parts of India where British civ
ilization has not laid on pipes.
For the race they are inflated with
air, the neck Of the opening closed,
and the racers have TO bestride them
and make their way by padding along
the bath.
Those who hurry get underneath.
while the wary one who goes slowly
preserves his equilibrium TO the end
and is hailed the winner.
