Pharaoh's Treasures.

While studying in the British Mu'
scum papyrus which was published
1000 years before Christ, an Egyptol-
ogist recently found a clear and con
else account of the treasures which
the ancient sovereigns of Egypt buried
in various parts of the Libyan desert,
and now an expedition is being
formed in London for the purpose OF
searching for this wealth. The nee
essary funds have already been Sc
cured and in a short time a few
skilled explorers will start for the
desert. where the technical work will
be prosecuted under the supervision
of Messrs. Lake and Currie, two Eng
lish engineers. The writer of the
ancient papyrus says that the Phar-
aohs hid an immense quantity OF gold
and precious stones in the region
which is known by the name Of the
Valley of Kings" and there the first
excavations will be made. The task
will not be easy since the country 70

In the swift current of humanity

About her there grew saga OF the

proved up" his claim and moved into
town permanently, having Office and
residence in the great depot hotel
which was the citadel of the forces of
law and order, of progress and civiliza-

The railroad company which found
ed Ellisville had within its board of di-
rectors a so-called Land and Improve
ment Company" which latter company
naturally had the first knowledge of
the proposed location of the different
towns along the advancing line. When
the sale of town lots was thrown open
to the public, it was always discovered
that the Land and Improvement Com
pany had already secured the best of
the property in what was to be the
business portion of the town. In the
case of Ellisvile, this inner corpora
ton knew that there was to be To-
Gated here a railroad division point,
where ultimately there would be car

Convinced Russia's Emperor That
They Were Awake and Active.
The Paris correspondent of London
Truth tells this story of the manner
in which the Russian government test
ed the efficiency of the French detec-
tive police when the car was about
to visit Paris The chief of the Rus
sian police went secretly to the
French capital, with orders to lie
quietly by in hotel and only to re-
port himself at the embassy after a
stay of a week. But he had not been
three hours in Paris before the pre-
feet of police learned of his arrival
from a French detective. At st. Pc
tersburg they thought this a satisfac-
tory result, and the imperial pair
ventured to go to Paris and drive
down the Champs Elysees without
cavalry around their carriage.
A similar test applied in Rome had
different consequences. The head OF
the Russian police remained there for
a whole week without his arrival be-
ing suspected. On the evening of the
sixth day he called on Count Nelidotr
to report himself, to the great aston
ishment of that ambassador. They
both agreed that if the Roman police
had not scented out the head of the
greatest police force in the world they
could not be depended upon to know
much about the goings on of anarch
lists and nihillsts. This is alleged to
be the true reason why the car de
clined to trust himself in the king Of
Italy's dominions.

rebuff received, Franklin none the less
in time recovered sufficient equanimity
to seek to avail himself of such advan-
tages as still remained; and he re-
solved grimly that he would persist un-
til at least he had been accepted as
something better than a blunderlng
boor. Under Major Buford's invita-
ZION he called now and again at the
Halfway Ranch and the major was
glad each time to see him. Mrs. Bu-
ford also received Franklin with pleas
ure. and Mary Ellen certainly always
with politeness. Yet, fatal sign, Mary
Ellen never ran for her mirror when
she knew that Franklin was coming.
OF lovers Mary Ellen would hear of
none. and this was Franklin's sole con-
ISOLATION. Yet all day as he labored
there was present in his subconscious-
ness the personality of this proud and
sweet-faced girl. Her name was
spelled large upon the sky. was voiced
by all the birds. 1t was indeed her
face that looked up from the printed
page. He dared not hope, and yet
3hrunk from the thought that he must
not. knowing what lethargy must else
ingulf his soul. He heard so clearly
che sweet, imperious summons which
is the second command put upon ami
mate nature: First to prevail, to
live: second. TO love, to survive. As
tree whispers unto tree, as flower
yearns to flower, so came the mandate
to his being in that undying speech
that knows no change from the begin
ming to the end of time.
Against this overwhelming desire of
an impetuous love there was raised but
one barrier-the enduring resistance of
woman's will, silent. not strenuous
unprotesting, but unchanged. To al,
his renewed pleadings the girl simply
said that she had no heart to give
that her hope of happiness lay buried
on the field of Louisburg, in the far
off land that she had known in young
or and less troubled days. Leaving
that land, orphaned. penniless. her life
crushed down at the very portal o.
womanhood. her friends scattered. her

whole world overturned, she had lef.

ture was changing. The tremendous
drama of the West was going on in all
| it's giant action. This torrent of rude
| life against which the hands OF the
| law were still so weak and unavailirg,
had set for it in the ways of things a
| limit for its flood and a time for its
receding.
The West was noble country, and
| it asked of each man what nobility
there was in his soul Franklin began
to grow AS he looked beyond the day
of cattle and foresaw the time of the
plough, so also he gazed far forward
into the avenues of his own life, now
opening more clearly before him. He
rapidly forecast the possibilities Of the
profession which he had chosen, and
with grim self-confdence felt them
well within his power. Beyond that,
then. he asked himself, in his curious
self-questioning manner, what was
there to be? Wherein was he to gain
that calmness and that satisfaction
which ought to attend each human
SOUL and entitle 1t to the words We'll
done?" Odd enough were some OF
these self-searchings which went on
betimos in the little Office of this
plainsman lawyer; and strangest Of all
to Franklins mind was the feeling
that, as his heart had not yet gained
that which was its right, neither had
his hand yet fallen upon that which
it was to do.
Franklin rebelled from the technical
side of the law, not so much by reason
of its dry difficulty as through scorn OF
it's admitted weakness, it's inability to
do more than compromise; through
contempt of it's pretended benefcences
and it's frequent inefIiciency and harm
fulness. In the law he saw plainly the
lash of the taskmaster, driving all
those yolled together in the horrid
compact of society, a master ineXor-
able. stonefaced, cruel. In it he found
no comprehension, seeing that 1t re-
garded humanity either as a herd OF
slaves or a pack of wolves, and not
as brethren laboring, suffering, per-
forming a common destiny, yielding to
a common fate. He saw in the law
no actual recognition of the individual,
but only the acknowledgment of the
social body. Thus, set down in day
miraculously clear placed among
strong characters who had never yet
yielded up their souls, witnessing that
time which knew the last blaze of the
spirit of men absolutely free, Franklin
felt his own soul leap into a prayer
for the continuance of that day. See
ing then that this might not be, he fell
sometimes to the dreaming of how
he might some day, if blessed by the
pitying and understanding spirit OF
things, bring out these types, per-
petuate these times, and so at last set
them lovingly before a world which
might at least wonder, though it did
not understand. Such were his vague
dreams, unformulated; but, happily,
meantime he was not content merely
to dream.

Poor medicine as it is, work was
ever the best salve known for hurt
ing heart. Franklin betook him to his
daily work, and he saw success attend
his labors. He felt growing in his
heart the stubbornness of the man of
property, the landholding man, the
man who even unconsciously plans a
home, resolved to cling to that which
he has taken of the earth's surface for
his own. He knew that this perfervid
time could not endure, knew that the
sweep of American civilization must
occupy all this land as it had all the
lands from the Alleghenies to the
plains. He foresaw in this crude new
region the scene of great material
activity a vast industrial develop
ment. 1t needed no great. foresight
to realize that all this land, now so
wild and cheap, could not long remain
wild and cheap, but must follow the
history of values as it had been writ
ten up to the edge of that time and
place.
Of law business Of an actual sort
there was next to none at Ellisville, all
the transactions being in wild lands
and wild cattle, but, as did all attor-
neys of the time Franklin became
broker before he grew to be profess
sional man. Fortunate in securing the
handling of the railroad lands, he sold
block after block of wild land to the
pushing men who came out to the
front" in search of farms and cattle
ranches. His own profits he invested
again in land. Thus he early found
