lodges She hastily put from her mind the wish to fol-
low those upward tolers She knew that Roxie would
be heartbroken If left below alone with Mohammed.
WHILE she was still busy viewing Cheops from
w all sides, Mohammed approached her with
Arab youth SO handsome of countenance and
brilliant hued in raiment that he shone like bird Of
paradise.
SIN, YOU no object" began Mohammed. Il in
duce you the sheiks His Ahmed. He
come bring you invitation his father take coffee his
house. He be ve'y honored company Sit his
fathers house."
Mary had thought that the invitation the old
sheik had given her that morning merely orr
entail form OF courtesy Now she said to her drago-
''Mohammed, tell the sheiks son for me how much
l appreciate his invitation; but say that | am SO
sorry we cannot come as | must see the Sphinx and
hurry back to Cairo Make whatever excuse you

IF SIT excuse me, l say to Slit she tell this

Being good kentuckian Mary could well appre
ciate the Arab sensitiveness about his hospitality.
In her land also the stranger within the gates must
not be allowed to depart without paying due honor
to his brothers family affairs. So she now had not
the heart to disappon the old sheik in his expecta
ton OF entertaining her wonder whether the
she thought within herself But if she IS not Rox1e
and Mohammed ought to be ample protection for me;
besides, it will be splendid opportunity to ORR
entail life in the interior.
Aloud, Mary made pretty speech of acceptance
she could put together in short notice. and Mo
manned translated it to the pleased young heir OF
the sheik. Whatever omissions of complimentary
forms Mary in her Western crudeness, had omitted,
her dragoman was easily able to supply from his
Eastern vocabulary of polite beatitudes.
When Mohammed finished transating her words,
the sheik's placed himself beside Mary and led
the way toward the Arab village that lay about
quarter of a mile from the Pyramids. Like lamb
led to the slaughter, Roxie followed. Despite Mo-
hammeds oft repeated offers of assistance she would
not give up to him for moment the American Baby.
Mary absorbed in artistic admiration of the
young Arabs appearance. Ahmed was as handsome
as he was picturesque, an unusual combination
among Arabs, her short experience had already con-
WINGED her. His face classic in its spare regular
ity, and of a lustrous olive tint. An Adonis of the
DESERT she dubbed him mentally
The young Arab politely put forth all the English
phrases he knew to entertain Mary MY father very
happy you go his house. l very happy you go my
father house beg to ask you that my father have
four wives"
A T this last remark of the young man Marys
doubts about the propriety OF her visit returned
to her. but she then at the portal OF the shelk
dwelling and knew that it was too late to 60 back

continually into her thoughts: But now, she
reflected, she almost at her journeys end.
