letter was for the inkeepers young
daughter. She took it from the postmarl,
carefully examined 1t on both sides and
then asked the amount Of the postage
due.
One shilling the postman answered..

opened letter and said:
am sorry cannot receive the letter,
Tor 1t is from my brother, but have not
the money to pay the postage. 49,
Mr.. Hill overheard the conversation be-
tween the postman and the girl and he
paid the postage. The girl blushed and
seemed greatly confused when the letter
was again given her, and as soon as the
eastman had gone she told Mr.. Fill that
the letter was merely trick between
herself and her brother. Certain marks

&C Instruction.. ..a. inv - ~. q. .
The one building to which most interest
attaches is the one which DR.. Fl ornstein
thinks Is Pharaohs treasure house. This
IS a construction of a somewhat later
period To which Of the many Frhlraohs
this belonged Is doubtful. 1t is probable
that IT was Pharaoh Neobo, who is men
toned in the old testament. At the begin
ming Of his reign he made war against
the king" of Assyria. Being met on the
way by Josiah. he defeated and killed the
king of Judah at Megiddo.. But Neobo
was eventually defeated by Nebuchadncz-
zar. That led to TIE loss of all the Egyp-
tisn possessions in Assyria and Palestine
" While Pharaoh retained possession Of
this region 1t Is believed he made Sela,
now called Petra, his headquarters in
that province. He probably established a.
sIt treasury there to hold ! the tribute
which was collected from the caravan
commerce which passed that place. The
tradition Of the vast treasures once stored
there may have been handed down ap-
parently by the inhabitants Of that region
ever since. Though, the Egyptian carv-
mgs of PharaOh's treaSure-ho4se. as we'll
as of his palace, were replaced by the
Roman carvings, of later times, tradition
still marks the places Where Pharaoh held
sway and dazzled the native inhabitants
by his palaces and treasures. -
The decline Of the city Of Petra came
when the enterprising Phoenicians found
better commercial route for the trade be-
tween Egypt and India. This was by way
of the Red sea and Indian ocean. With
out the caravan commerce Petra fell into
its original desert solitude and the bib
ltcal prophecy Of the ruin Of its people
was fulfilled. So wild is the region about
1t now that few travellers have been able
to explore It. The Bedouin Arabs now
live in Its caves and dispute the passage
of the narrow chasm with any traveller
unless he pay large amounts of money to
them or be accompanied by a strong
Turkish escort Of soldiers. One daring
traveller did, indeed, manage to pass
through this ruined city some years ago
in the guise Of Mohammedan pilgrim
on his way to the Mecca. But he dared
not attempt to sketch or even finger
among the ruins to explore them.
rs DIR. Hornstein determined to probe, il
possible, the mystery surrounding these
ancient cave dwellings and Pharaoh;s pal
aces. He obtained the good will Of the
petty sultan OF Kerak,. an ancient city
near the Dead sea, some fifty miles to
the north. A military escort was granted
and in this way he succeeded in exploring

Shillibeer's omnibuses, then not long es-

door and shouted out to the driver, go

the cognomen struck me- said Dickens,

for my new hero" Upon, another occa-
