could not be seen from where l stood,
| knew its position and | knew it's
plan, and my soul went out to that
throne of granite in the square before
the royal pyramid, where once, years
before, had buried my love. Had
PhOrenice left the tomb unviolated?
| stood there leaning on my spear,
filling my eye with the prospect, warm
ing even to the smoke of mountains
that | recognized an old acquaintance.
Gods! how my love burned within me
for this woman! My whole being
seemed gone out to meet her, and to
leave room for nothing beside. For
long enough a voice seemed dimly to
be calling me, but I gave it no regard.
Ihad come out to that hoary mountain
top for communion with Nais alone,
and | wanted none others to interrupt
But at length the voice calling my
name grew too loud to be neglected,
and l pulled myself out of my sweet
musing with a start to think that
here, for the first time since part
ing with lob and his company, should
see another human fellow-being. I
gripped my weapon and asked who
called. The reply came clearly from
up the slopes of the mountain, and I
saw man coming towards me over the
snow. He was old and feeble. His
body was bent, and his hair and beard
were white rs the ground on which he
trod, and presently / recognized Zae-
mon. He was coming towards me with
incredible speed for man of his years
and feebieness, but he carried in his
hand the glowing symbol of our Lord
the Sun, and holy strength from this
would add largely to his powers.
He came close to me and made the
sign of the seven, which l returned to
him, with its completion, with due
form and ceremony. And then he sa-
luted me in the manner prescribed as
messenger appointed by the high coun-
ell of the priests seated before the
Ark of the Mysteries, and / made hum
BILE obeisance before him.
.'In all things / viii obey the orders

.Such is your duty, my brother. The

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
Simple Amusement and Pleasures
with Which He Is COntent-A
Poorly Paid Army.

How simple are the Russian soldiers
may be judged from their amusements,
says writer in Pearson's Magazine
Their only games are of the most
primitive character, like our "Aunt
Sally" Their greatest pleasures are
singing, dancing, and playing on the
"harmonika,' a musical instrument
like concertina; or the ''ballailai-
ka," a national musical instrument
something like a banjo, which will keep
them amused for hours. If he can
only play two or three tunes, Ivan
Ivanovitch will be able to enjoy him
self rapturously.
Singing, however, is the greatest
pleasure, and chorus singing is great
feature in the Russian army's accom-
plishments. The number of songs an
ordinary soldier knows is beyond be-
lief. Singing is encouraged by the Of
ficers, and the men with the best voices
are specially rewarded. Among illit-
crate people, the singer will always be
able to exert a great influence. One
has only to see a Russian regiment on
the march to understand what moral
power the singers can give the soldiers.
Ivan Ivanovitch stands greatly in
need of cheap forms of amusement, for
he is wretchedly paid. He is the worst
paid soldier in Europe, and therefore
has a very hard time during his four
years of service unless his good folks
at home are inclined to be generous.

the shallow; unveil those who masquerade
under borrowed, empty, high-sounding IT,
ties. whose vociferous tones, glib tongues
and unlimited audacity seek poses as
learned ones under the thinnest veneer.
II say 1t is the negro scholars mission to
uncover shams, to expose frauds wherever
found, to demand truth. and so to save the
race from taunts and gibes and sneers and
eternal disgrace. When there is more Of
this true scholarship among members Of
the race there will be different attitude
assumed toward 1t, both by members Of the
race Itself and by those Of other races.
But as long as We prefer to construe
owlish looks as wisdom, to bow down to
ciam-ilke silence as profound philosophy, to
stand agape over blatant mouthings as elo-
quence, and to measure mental caliber by
bodily avoirdupots, just so long do we show
our own sad lack of judgment, appreciation
ana common sense. and make ourselves q
laughing stock before the world
ITO our shame. however we are forced
to admit that just these shams are so often
on dress parade that by them the race to
Its detriment Is so largely judged. True
scholarship Is modest. but there is no doubt
that in the present day and generation It
must be more assertive. The day has
come when the brain Of the race must
not only direct the Drawn but 1t must
expose brass. Ignorance and imposition
will seek enlightenment or retreat only
when intelligence and learning make a mas
terly array for leadership"
