about half way up when dad weakened,

We went back to Cairo on the cars, and
what do you think, that dead camel that
the Arabs made dad pay for was with
the caravan going back to town. cause
We saw him Out of the car window with
the hair wore OFF where DAD kicked him
in the side, The tourists say the Arabs
have that camel trained TO die every day
when they get to the pyramids. and they
make some tenderfoot pay for him at the
end OF each journey. Dad is going to try
TO get his money back from the Egyp-
tian government, but | guess he VIII

Well, sir, after dad had doctored all
night TO get the camel rheumatism and
spinal meningitis out of his system, we
took a trip by boat on the Nile. and saw
the banks where the people grow crops
by irrigation, and where an English
syndicate has built a big dam, so the
whole valley can be irrigated. and | tell
you it viii not be long before Egypt will
raise everything used in the world on
that desert, and every other country
that raises food to sell will be busted up
in business, but it is disgusting to take
a trip on the Nile, cause all the natives
are dirty and sick with contagious dis
eases, and they are lazy and crippled,
and beg for a living, and Ii you don't give
them something they steal all you got.
You are In luck II you get away without
having leprosy. or the plague, or chol-

So we went back to Cairo, and there
was the worst commotion you ever saw,
about my fireworks in the tomb. The
papers said that an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
had attempted to blow up the great pyr-
amid, and take possession of the country
and place it under the American flag,
and that the eonspiratorS were spotted
and would be arrested and put in irons
as soon as they got back from a trip on
the Nile.
Well. sir, dad found his career would
close right here, and that he would prob
ably spend the balance of his life in an
Egyptian prison if we didn't get out, so
we made a sneak and got into our hotel
and bought DISCUSSES and are going to
get out Of here tonight, and try to get

lists were lined up beside a tomb OF some
Rameses or other, and the guides were
praying for strength and endurance,

ey we had, | picked out a place up toward
the roof that seemed full of bats and

Cairo, Egypt.-Aiy Dear Old Geezer:
| broke off my last letter in sight of the
pyramids, when | was left alone on the
desert, my jackass having stampeded
with the camels, on account OF my fire
works, and | presume you think | was
all in, but | got to the pyramids before
the stampededcarayan did. saw a a
coming along, and | just got aboard and
In ten minutes | was at the base of
the big pyramid, and the camel with dad
on between the humps, was humping
himself half a mile away, trying To get
there, and the other camels, with the
Arabs, were stretched out like horses
in a race, behind, and my jackass was
right next TO dads camel, braying and
occasionally kicking dads camel in the
Stats.
There were about a hundred tourists
around the base OF the big pyramid, all
looking towards the stampede Of the
camels, and | told them my dad, the
great American millionaire, was on the
runaway camel in advance, and asked
them to form a line across the trail and
save dad, but when the camel came lear
er | was ashamed Of dad. He had his
arms around the the front hump of the
camel, and he was yelling for help to
stop his menagerie, and his legs were
flying in the air, and every time they
came down they kicked a hole in the side
Of the camel.
Well, sir. | thought dad was a brave
| man, but he blatted like a calf, and when
the camel stopped and went to eating a
clump of grass dad opened his eyes, and
when he saw that the procession had
stopped he rolled off his camel like a
bag of wheat. and stuck in the sand and

me standing there. laughing, he stopped
| praying, and said to me: Il thought you
were blown up when that jackass kicked
the can of dynamite. You have more
lives than a cat. Now, get a hustle on
you and we will climb that pyramid, and
then quit this blasted country" and dad
| sat down on a hummock and began to
pull himself together, after the most
fearful ride he ever had. He said the
camel loped, trotted, galloped, single

footed and SHE'D all at the same time
and when one hump was not tanning
him in the back the other hump was
kicking him in the stomach, and ii he
had a gun he would shoot the camel, and
the Arabs, and bust up the show.
BY the time dad got so he could stand
up without leaning against a pyramid
the Arabs came up and they all talked
at once, and drew knives, and it seemed
as though they were blaming dad for
something. We found an interpreter
among the tourists, and he talked with
the Arabs, and pointing to the camel dad
had ridden, which was stretched out on
the sand like he was dead, he told dad
the Arabs wanted him to pay for the
camel he had ridden to death, and foun-
dered by letting it drink a wagon load of
water, and then entered in a ace across
the desert, and the interpreter said dad
better pay, or they would kill him.
Dad settled for the camel for a hun
dred dollars, and a promise OF the skin
of the camel, which he was going to take
home and have stuffed. Their a man
who pretended TO be a justice Of the
peace had dad arrested for driving off
Of a walk, and he was fined $40 and costs
for that, and then all the Arabs struck
him for money for II thing and an
other. and when he had settled all
around and paid extra for net riding
back to Cairo on the camel, we got
ready to climb up the pyramid. Dad
snid he wouldn't ride that camel back
to Cairo for a million dollars. for he vas
split up so his legs began where his arms
left OFF, ard he was lame FROM Genesis
TO Revelations.
But HeFer saw such a lot OF people TO
pray as these pirates are. Just before
they rob G man they get down on their
knees on a rug. and humble something
to some god, and after they have got you
robbed good and plenty, they get down
and pray, while they are concealirg the
money they took from you. Gee, but
