Just as stepped outside big Sioux
buck met me face to face. Extending
his hand he said:

such sight you never saw. When he
went into that cave with me he had
long hair and it was black as the bot

out. it was as white as the driven

large open space into which the chariots
were driven to await their masters were
all laid bare. No better idea OF the work
done by Mrs. Haynes can be given than
by copying an extract from a page Of her
diary. at which l have been permitted to
glance. This entry was made a month
after reaching Nippur:
IL am kept very busy and wonder that
the time passes so rapidly in this place
where we are so much alone. The finds of
today were a clay image, or idol; forty
eight sound tablets, one fine and one course
seal. one perforated prism. a kitchen I'M
earthed by Hazam and photographed and
eighteen graves opened. The kitchen is
built Of bricks twenty inches square; the
floor and portion Of the walls are intact.
The frepot, made Of bricks, is perfectly
good and shows the marks Of fire."
Almost every day new tablets we're dis
covered and as these are the books OF an
cient Babylonia they are considered Of the
highest value. From them may be learned
much of the business and the social life
of ancient times. Here are contracts be-
tween bankers and farmers for loans, mar
riage contracts and the documents OF the
entire life of a highly civilized people who
lived 5000 years or more ago.
Days.
One of the exciting incidents OF the time
is thus told by Mrs. Haynes: Just about
sunset one Sunday l was sitting In the
court Of our house while Mr.. Haynes was
busy with his accounts, when / heard a
commotion outside, but before l realized
that it really meant something a bare
headed Arab, with his face all covered with
blood from a cash in his head, staggered
into the court and dropped down almost at
my feet. l rushed upstairs after Mr..
Haynes, who went at once to the door to
prevent other Arabs from coming In. Sew
eral, however, had followed the wounded
man in and the whole party was screaming
and gesticulating as II each one we're wildly
determined that Beg should hear his side
of the story only.
"In the meantime the frantic efforts Of the
man to get up and get at Abad ell Moham-
med told us that he was the mar who had
done the deed. The Turkish COMMISSIONS
tried to arrest Abad, but / refused to let
him go, and in trying to protect him pushed
the commissioner with such force that he
tumbled over backwards" DR.. Haynes aft
erwards settled the matter satisfactorily,
but this is only one of the trying expert
ences to which his wife was exposed.
A few days later she had trouble with the
cook. DR.. Haynes reproved him and in
serving the tea that night he brought up on
the tray, besides the tea, a bible and a
large butchers knife. This vas an open
threat to do violence and it is not surpris-
ing that Mrs. Haynes did not sleep we'll
that night. On the next morning the cook
was sent ava
One night DR.. Haynes and his wife were
awakened at midnight by an awful din.
They found that the daughter Of one Of the
