We step inside the porch of neigh
boring tomb to see the treasures, and
stand amazed. For there lie grouped a
collection Of the most beautiful objects,
of a tomb. Here are graceful gilded
chairs, with fnely-carved insets; jewel
boxes inlaid with enamel of gold and
deepest blue; long, light beds of wood
reeds; little statuettes of alabaster;
sandals of reeds;all of exquisite and
refined workmanship. But more remark
able than their beauty, perhaps, is their
freshness. We have been thinking Of
antique objects. These seem to have
come yesterday from the hands Of the
artifcers.
We had been thinking only Of the
"House Beautiful" and forgotten the
tomb, when our eyes fell on the rich,
gilded mummy ses-noble, recumbent

A few weeks ago one Of these diggers

It was morning of radiant sun

temples, and struck up stony valley

fierce suns, utterly destitute Of the

setting for a royal funeral! AS one
rode upwards in the twinkling heat,

Nothing was touched except the gold

The hole by which the robbers escaped
was blocked by chips thrown there

must have paid their visit before 1000
