A STRANGE ROMANCE.
That Connects New York of To-Day

That Connects New York of To-Day
with Egypt of 5000 Year. Ago.
A strange romance eof history, con-
Meeting one of the Oldest of lands and
civilizations with the youngest of great
nations and the most advanced system
of government, finds its setting in New
York. Three thousand years ago
Egypt was one day thrown into state
of excitement by the birth, at the i'm
perial palace, of princess of the royal
line. Not alone was there rejoicing at
the advent into the world of future
queen, but the father of the infant, the
great Thothmes ILL.,, caused to be be-
gun the hewing of an immense obelisk
out of solid rock to commemorate the
event. Years went by and the maiden
blossomed into beautiful womanhood,
while the obelsk was being worked
upon by hundreds of skilled toilers.
When it was at last finished and set
up before the royal palace at Heliop-
oils she spent days in watching the
strange hieroglyphics being cut upon
it. Nearly all that we know of the
history of the world has occurred since
then, and yet today, after a lapse OF
thirty centuries. the body Of that
Egyptian princess, perfectly preserved,
! lies in state in the museum in Cen
trail Park and not 200 feet away stands
the hoary obelisk as if keeping guard
over her remains. Thousands Of miles
from their former home, these remind
ers of the glory of dynasties now but
half-forgotten tradition of the re-
mote past are strangely reunited. The
obelisk is generally known as Cleo
patra's needle" while the mummy OF
| the princess, whose name was Ne
! fereyt, rests on sarcophagus in the
museum.

CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.)
The unloading began at once, and
Captain Elvin took from the hand OF
Torrevo the tally Rob had made In
Brazil.
He looked at it with a keen scrutiny,
then his sharp eyes searched Torrevo's
face. But he said nothing then.
Rob was compelled by Torrevo to do
his part in the unloading the same as
before, but this time Torrevo did not
beat him. Somewhere, deep down in
that outlaws heart, there was tender
spot, and Rob had found it. ,s*,.la.
When the cargo was all safely slowed
away in the cave, the very dampness
of which made Rob shudder at the
memory of his former experience, Cap

"Why?" asked Torrevo, to gain time.
He did not know what was coming.
Because want to know" answered
Elvin. This is not your writing.
There is not one of your gang that can
write like this. Who did it,"
MY nephew" said Torrevo, holding
himself up proudly, as if to let Elvin
see that there were educated people in
his family, and he was proud of the
fact. When we loaded at Rio was

CHAPTER X.


The Englishman saw that the rock
was securely placed at the opening OF
the cave, and then ordered Rob to fol-
low him. He rode off towards the in
terror, and paid no further attention to
the young fellow trudging behind him.
They travelled in this way for sew
eral miles, and at last came to an old
estate on the plain. There was a stone
house, one-storied, with many windows
and wide porticos. Elvin turned into
the avenue that led from the rough and
little travelled road, and dismounted at
the door of this house. There was lit
tie about the place that indicated 1T to
be occupied. The land was not Guilt
waited. There were men about the sta
bles, and one came forward and took
the Englishman's horse. The captain
then strobe in at an open door.
Rob found the place comfortably fur
nished, but there was nothing about
it, even with it's interior comfort, that
betokened the presence of family. In
fact, this out-of-the-way place was
simply the headquarters of Richard Ell
vim and the gang Of conspirators OF
which he was the leader
They passed into large room, and
the Englishman called for supper. This
was soon spread, and Rob ate heartily,
for he was hungry after his long and
hurried tramp He was also excessive
ly weary, and the captain noticed

"No-you drink too much. But II
this nephew can be trusted, can make
good use of him.
Torrevo stared.
Good use, captain?"
Eyes; bring him here
Rob still wore the Spanish outfit, as
Torrevo had ordered him to do. IN
fact, his own clothes had been thrown
away at sea. That much danger OF
recognition had been done away with
Ricardo" said Torrevo, when Rob
had answered his call, Capt. Elvin

Rob, unthinkingly.
"'Tis So said Torreyo, quickly
His mother spent most of her time
there. and Ricardo went to the Ameri-

Elvin nodded.
You come with me, Ricardo he
said. II need penman like you.
Rob's heart beat faster, and Torrevo
stood aghast If Elvin took Rob away
from him, what might not happen? BY
a word the young American might let
out the secret, and then 1t would be all
up with him and Torrevo.
Get whatever you have Oh board,

Torrevo and Rob went b&ck to the
schooner.

Eyes, captain" said Rob. II walked
fast after your horse"
| well, go rest yourself. Tomorrow

The plan of the house was commo-
dious, even though it was but one story
high. Rob was shown to comforta-

necessaries, and even Injuries, of

larger one, which seemed to be sort

rooms like Rob's, all arranged on two
from the Office.
Rob was not slow in obeying the
captain, and after bathing his aching
! limbs with cool water he went to bed.
He was weary enough to sleep, not
withstanding the new dangers that
confronted him. And he did fall
asleep and remained in a doze for sew
eral hours He awoke some time in
the night, hearing voices outside in
the office. The light of the moon came
in through the one window of his
room. and Rob was enabled to see.
He lay there without trying to listen,
but suddenly became aware that
voice he knew was speaking. 1t was

On Easter morning the church doors
are thrown wide open, and within tho
air is sweet with the perfume of .
thousand flowers. Violets, roses and
lilies Irvine about pillar and railing
and the altar looks like great, white
blossom. With what joyous tones tho
organ rings out, and what glad thrill
there is in the voices that sing. Christ
Has Risen!" Let us be very glad, too.
for there is never any happiness that
comes into our lives that is not there
because of Easter morning. Bend low

Now as she knelt in the quiet Of that
holy place, Margaret wondered to hear
with the Ginning bells, soft silvery
strains Of music, such as were never
heard in the little church before, and
to feel the touch of gentle hand laid
on her hair She looked up to see the
beams Of the morning sunshine stream
ing Gown upon her and the stained
window palpitating with glorious light
and color, but wonder!-as she looked
again the stained window was no long
er there at all; instead opening be-
fore her on every side was lovely
garden sweet with flowers. ~.
This is too good to be true" she
cried, rising in kind Of rapture as she
felt the soft balm of the garden air in
her face.
Nothing is too good to be true"
said a voice at her side, but Margaret
could not discover any one.
MAY l enter this rich garden"
Margaret asked of herself, thinking of
her poor, shabby dress, SO faded and
patched, which she was always glad
to hide in the dim corner Of the aisle.
But as Margaret, doubling, asked this
question, the sun shining upon her
dress, showed it to be glistening white
as the altar cloth and the lilies in the
chancel. In her confusion the girl put
her hands to her eyes to see II she
were awake or dreaming, but every
moment the vision grew more radiant.
The broad stream of light now ap-
peared a pathway along which angel
children we're passing to and fro, and
they smiled on Margaret and en-
braced her and drew her tenderly with
them, saying:
Margaret, dear little sister! We
are so glad you are here! Have you
come to stay with u.s." and they made
music for her delight and showed her
beauties of the garden past words to
express, then went their way to ap-
pointed tasks.
AS Margaret walked on in the gar
den, borne about by a kind of winged
ecstasy rather than by any touch of
her feet, she came upon the Gardener
taking care of His garden, and He
turned and looked at the girl.
Sir" entreated Margaret, falling
upon her knees, may stay with you?
May l help you take care Of this gar
den?"
margaret" said the Gardener, TAX
ing her by the hand-and then Mar
garet knew it had been His hand on
her hair and His voice at her side.
You may help me, Margaret, In an
other garden. You may work for me
in the garden of human hearts and
cultivate sweet and beautiful thoughts
and make them grow"
But l am so tired of the old life-of
the pain, the poverty, the hardship of
it ALL" and Margaret began to weep
bitterly. II cannot 60 back to the old
life!"
my child, it is a new life give unto
YOU"
But must leave you!"
II shall be with you always"
But we must leave this heavenly
garden!"
Margaret, my child, the garden shall
be where we are"
1t was in the old gray house at sun
rise, on Easter morning, that the
father was saying with humble graft
tude:
THANK God, our child is given back
to us."
1.-THE Lord is merciful," sobbed the
mother. Blessed be His loving kind
ness"
So Margaret was once more given
health and strength. and as she went
about her daily tasks the radiant Wis
ion of Easter Vas always present With
her and these words were always sing
ing themselves In her heart:
