former chaplain Of the State Legislature
and now of Virginia, before Magistrate
Wood in Dover Monday. When Mr..
Stengle was visiting friends in Dover for

we'd upon him forthwith" for settle
ment of their differences.
> Mr.. Hawkins showed that he was
guest at the wedding of the chaplain of
the Legislature. In the hurly -burly of
preparing for the wedding journey the
clergyman discovered that he did not
have sufficient capacity in his grips and
satchels. Mr.. Hawkins volunteered lis
suitcase, which he valued highly. Mr..
Stengle took it, departed for the honey
moon trip and that was the last Mr..
Hawkins saw of his travelling outfit.
In his defense Mr.. Stengle offered evi.
dence to show that he had started on its
way back to Dover, but that did not ap-
satisfy the Magistrate, for he
gave judgment against the defendant for
1888.

Secretary Shaw said to-day that be did
not believe it would be possible to secure
currency legislation at this session of
Congress. While he regarded it as pos
sible that the House would pass the Fow-
ler bill, authorizing the national banks to
issue currency based on their assets, he
feared that it would be impossible to
secure consideration by the Senate of a
measure which would provoke such ex-
tensive discussion. While there was no
haste about the proceedings of Congress
before the holidays, when the members
return to Washington and come to a.
realization of the fact that less than two
months remain before the Congress will
expire by limitation, they will be ab-
solutely unwilling to take up any measure
likely to precipitate extended debate.
They will have, of course, to pass the
regular appropriation bills and these be-
come every session more extended and |
complex, requiring a vast amount of |
work in addition to the time
necessary to explain their provisions on
the floors of the Senate and the Honse.
Secretary Shaw says he will continue his |
of education and hopes to have
80 influenced public opinion before the !
Fifty eighth Congress convenes, as to
secure prompt and favorable action on
the bill.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The FayOrite Is Alarmed,

'1@e. Thus it befell that both Robert of
. E,riedwald and Jacqueline accom-
nanied the emperor to the little town,
the scene of. their late adventures, and
that they who had been fool and
ioculatrix rode once more thru the
street they had ne'er expected to see
again. The flags were flying; cannon
doomed; they advanced beneath al
wreaths Of roses, the way paved with
flowers. Standing at the door of his
inn, the landlord dropped his jaw IN
am azement as his glance fell upon the
|iestreSS and her companion behind the
great emperor himself. His surprise,
too, was abruptly voiced by a ragged,
wayworn person not far distant In the
crowd, whose fingers had been busx
about the pockets Of his neighbours;
fingers which had a deft habit Of work
ing by themselves, while his eyes We're
bent elsewhere and his lips Joined in
the general acclaim; fingers which
like antennae seemed to have a special
intelligence Of their own. Now
those long weapons of abstraction and
appropriation ceased their deft work;
he became all eyes.
Good lack! Who may the noble
gentleman behind the emperor be?''
he exclaimed. Surely It's the dukes

other. Il see; believe; but may not

sion shone in his glance. Gladius

a sTATUETrE $500 YEARS OLD

= -
In his article on the Ten Temples
of Abydos' in Harper's Magazine for
November, Professor Flinders Petrie
tells of his discovery of a statuette of
ivory more than 6, 500 years old, and
how he managed to preserve 1t. s

lessor Petrie, 81 lifted out one by one.
the priceless examples of glazed work
and ivory Of this earliest age Of great
art-an art Of which we had never
understood the excellence from the
traces hitherto known. The ivory was
sadly rotted, and could scarcely be
lifted without dropping asunder in
fakes. So when found that / had
touched a piece 1t was left alone, and
other parts We're cleared, until at last
a patch of ground was left where sew.
| eral pieces of ivory had been observed.
Cutting deep around this, I detached
the whole block of sixty or eighty
pounds OF earth, and had it removed
onS a tray to my storeroom. There it
dried gradually for two or three
weeks; and then, with a camel s-hair
brush I began to gently dissect 1t
and to trace the ivory figures. Not
a single piece was broken Or spoilt
by thus working it out and noble fig
ures of lions, a bear, a large ape, sew
eral boys came gradually to light.
a marvellous face appeared in the dust,
and there came forth from his six
thousand year sleep one of the finest
portrait figures that has ever been
seen. "A single photograph can give
but little idea of the subtlety Of the
face and the expression, which changes
with every fresh light in which 1t is
seen. Wearing the crown of Upper
Egypt, and clad in his thick embroi-
/ dered robe, this old king, willy yet
feeble with the weight of years, stands
for the diplomacy and statecraft of
the Oldest civilized kingdom that we
know. No later artist Of Egypt, no
Roman portrait-maker,s no Renais-
sance Italian, has outdone the truth
and expression of this. Oldest royal
