the Kings" One Is that of Rameses
II, whose mummy is now in the Britt
ish Museum, having been taken from
here about seven years ago. This tomb
is magnificent inside. 1t is cut into the
solid rock about 100 feet and 1t must
have taken years to do it. The room
in which the mummy rested, Is about
the size of the hall in our home only
higher and cut into the solid rock
after having gone into the rock 100
feet. Here inside, are fine cuttings OF
images and idols and serpents, the
sacred bull, coats of arms, etc. The
mummy of the successor of Rameses is
exposed to full view by electric light
and you look upon the face Of great
king, which has lain there over 5000
years. Even the features of his face
are discernible. Then you stand and
wonder what race of men they were
and what race of men we now are.
After you have seen these great
temples, you wonder which race was
superior at least in some respects. This
tomb was discovered only few years
ago and they are continuing to find
others. I rode to this tomb ten miles,

IT'S one day that my ways are
clumsy and t'other that my words are
coarse. What can do or say that
would win thine approval? For my
happiness doth depend on thy smiles
and favor, Hetty."
"Thou'rt happy only when thou'rt on
thy farm among thy cows and chick
ems" the maid retorted, although the
red in her cheeks had deepened at bis
earnest words. "Forsooth, thou canst
see beauty in naught else but thy but

pert toss of her head.

piled soberly, "and would be happier

They were startled by the patter Of
great drops Of rain, and the wind, ris-
Ing with loud howl, caught up Het-
tvs light skirts and tossed her soft
hair roughly over her face. Without
stopping for more reproaches or ex-
plantations, they made what haste they

through the opening. At the unexpect-

The above frantic telegram was re-
ceived this afternoon about 1880
o'clock. 1t Is typical of the newspaper
pipe dreams for which the Des Moines
daily papers are famous. John Nor
rell, assistant manager of the local
company, laughed heartily when the
telegram was read to him over> the
telephone and declared that the
thought of selling out had never been
even suggested to them.
The joke of the matter can only be
thoroughly appreciated by those who
are acquainted with the two firms anc

Moines could be conveniently slowed
away in the machinery room Of the
local plant and still leave abundance
of room for the steam turbine ant
generator recently installed to furnish
power for the combined establish

ner. La Fabienne laughed lightly.
"Parbleu, CASTOR; take courager' he
cried in gay tones. Surely after this
good news Of Cragenstone SO close at
hand our hearts are light and we can
ride perforce with better speed"
aye" the man grumbled under his
breath, tits easy to have light heart
when thou dost carry full purse, also
the knowledge that at the end Of this
tedious mountain climbing thou hast
for reward the embraces of thy mis-.
tress, but with mans throat athirst,
having had naught but unwholesome
water since breakfast, and a stomach
grooming for bread and meat tits not so
easy"
Just then some raindrops falling were
swept into his face by the wind that
had risen with sudden fury.
Rain, more discomfort, he exclaim-
ed In great vexation. "Methought
those low black clouds had look of
evil portent. By the memory Of my
mother l do swear it." he continued
angrily, that not for sums of gold,
not in obedience to the commands Of
twenty La Fabiennes, would 1 leave
Paris again to journey forth to any
mountain village in this accurst coun-
try!'
Finding that his master was gaining
on him, Castor gave his horse the
spurs and SO suddenly that the star
tied animal fairly leaped into the air,
then, running wildly, disappeared with
its rider over the top of sharp de-
cline.
At about this hour in Cragenstone,
when the heavy mist lay thick and
white over the meadows, and the houses
and trees We're but indistinctly defined
in the cloudy atmosphere, young Simon
Kempster, his round face beaming
with OF e1pectant loaE of hanniness
came across meadow near the Taun-
ston farmhouse. suddenly the sweet
notes of woman's voice caroling
gayly fell on his ears. Raising his
head, he listened, then with quick
motion vaulted lightly over the stile
and almost over Mistress Hetty Taun-
ston, who at that instant passed in his
direction from behind clump Of trees
with pail of fresh milk In each hand.
Thou stupid Slmon" she cried out,
greatly vexed. with thy awkward,
numbering ways thou'rt enough to
! brighten one into ft! See, now, all
the good milk spilled upon the ground,
and three cows gone dry since yester-
morn! An look, my clean frock Is all
despatched! All, lackaday, it's well
for me my mother Is from home, since
l would never hear the end O. her dis

\ Kempster, greatly abashed, turned
from white to red and back to white
again. shifting on his feet uneasily.
Forgive me, gentle mistress" he
said contritely. Thou didst come sc
lightly, like little gray shadow Of thu
thee"
To-day "a gray shadow and t'othe
