tire. The great suburb to the
~ west Of the Nile had empted
her multitudes into the solemn commu-
nifty of the gods. Besides her own in
habitants there were thousands from
the entire extent Of the Thebaid and
visitors even from faraway Syene and
Philae. 1t was an occasion for more
than ordinary pomp. The great god
Amen was to be taken for an outing in
his ark.
For once the magnif1cence Of the
wondrous city of the gods was set
down from it's usual pre-eminence In
the eyes Of the wondering spectator,
and the vastness of the multitude
usurped its place. The bari Of Ken
kenes, seeking to round the island of
sand lying near the eastern shore op-
posite the village Of Karnak, met a
solid pack Of boats. The; young sculp-
tor took in the situation at once and,
putting about, found landing farther
to the north. There he made portage
across the fat bar of sand to the arm
Of quiet water that separated the is
land from the eastern shore. Crossing,
he dismissed his eager and excited
boatmen and struck across the noon
heated valley toward the temple. The
route Of the pageant could be seen
from afar, cleanly outlined by hu-
manity. 1t extended from Karnak to
Luxor and, turning in vast loop at
the Nile front, countermarched over
the dromos and ended at the tremen-
dous white walled temple Of Amen.
Between the double ranks of sight
seers there was but chariot room. The
side Kenkenes approached sloped
sharply from the dromos toward the
river, and the rearmost spectators had
small opportunity to behold the pag-
cant. The multitude here was less
densely packed Kenkenes joined the
crowd at this point.
Here was the canaille Of Thebes.
Kenkenes slackened his pace when
he recognized the character of these
spectators, and, after hesitat1ng q mo-
ment, he hung the fiat wallet contain
ing the message around his neck inside
his kamis and pushed on. Every foot
Of progress he essayed was snariingly
disputed until the rank Of the aggres-
sive stranger was guessed by his su-
perior dress, when he was given a
moody and unUaci0us path. But he
finally met an immovable obstAcle in
the shape Of q quarrel.
Tho stage Of hoshlftes was sufficient

young sculptor hesttnted to ponder on
tho advisabiliU of pressing on. While
hs waited several deputies Of the con-
stabulary. methodlcally sileneing the
crowd, came upon these belngerents
In turn and belabored the foremost into

Kenkenes stalked off toward the TEN.
pie, his shoulders lifted high with dis.
gust.
Presently the avenue opened into the
temple square. The shadow Of the
great structure darkened It's approaches
before it was clearly visible through
the grove. The devotee entered long
avenue of sphinxe-dfty pairs lining
broad highway paved with polished
granite tagging.
Within the overarching portals Ken
kenes was met by novice, priest of
the lowest orders, to whom he stated
his mission. With a sign to.the young
man to follow, the priest led the way
into the temple.
In moment, Asar-Mut, high priest
to Ptah, appeared. He wore the priest
" habiliments of spotless linen, and,
like loose mantle, magnificent leop-
ard skin, which hung by claw over
the right shoulder and, passing under
the left arm. was fastened at the
breast by medallion of gold and to-
paz. He was typical Egyptian, but
thinner of lip and severer OF counte-
nance than the laity.
"Kenkenes, I would have thee carry
message for the brotherhood. Be thy
journey as quick as thy perception.
ask thy pardon for laying the work Of
temple courier upon thy shoulders,
but the message Is of such import that
would carry it myself were I as
young and unburdened with duty as
thou" ..r..'. ......
II am thy servant, holy father"
II know, and therefore have I cho-
sen thee. My trusted courier is dead;
the others are light minded, and Tape
Is in the height Of festivity. They
might delay-they might be lured into
forgetting duty, and" the pontiff low
cred his voice and drew nearer to Ken
kenes, "and there are those that may,
be watching for this letter. A noble
man would not be thought .messen-
ger"
II understand" Kenkenes said.
''Go, then, by private boat at sunset,
and Ptah be with thee' He put a
doubly wrapped scroll into Kenkenes'
hands. '"This is to be delivered to our
holy superior, Loi, priest Of Amen"
Kenkenes bowed and withdrew.

The stately 1sraelite, who bad taken
no notice Of any word against her, now
turned her head toward Kenkenes and
slowly inspected him. He had no OPP
portunity to guess whether her gaze
was approving, for the crowd about
him, grown weary Of waiting, had be-

senting his defense Of the Hebrews.

q few minutes later was old, spare and

His eyes were brilliant and over them
arched eyebrows that were almost

The old man withdrew
When Kenkenes crossed the court a
little time later, he met his father.
1.-THE Lady Senci brings me news
that makes me envious," Mentu began
at once, land shames me because of
thee!"
Kenkenes lifted an expressive brow
at this unexpected onslaught. "Nay,
now, what have i d0ne?"
"Nothing!" Mentu asserted emphat-
ically, "and for that reason am I
wroth. The Lady Senci's nephew, Ho-
tep, is the new chief of the royal
scribes." @.A .t>
II call that good tidings," Kenkenes
replied, cheerful note in his voice,
'and worth greeting with health to

The artist regarded his son scornfully
for moment
II have this moment been summoned
by my holy uncle, Asar-Mut, to go on
a journey, and know not when I re-
turn" said Kenkenes.
"Humph"' the elder sculptor re-
marked. "Asar-Mut has kingly tastes.
The couriers of priests are not usually
Of the nobility. But get thee gone'
The pair separated, and the young
man passed into the house.
When, half an hour later, Kenkenes
entered a cross avenue leading to a
great square In which the temple stood,
he found the roadway filed with
people, crowding about group of di-
sheveled women. These were shrieking,
wildly tearing their hair, beating them
selves and throwing dust upon their
heads. Kenkenes Immediately sur
missed that there was something more
than the usual death wall in this.
He touched man near him on the
shoulder. 49,
"Who may these distracted women
