the ancient pillow used in this land
Of the Pharaohs five thousand
years ago, or lifting water from
the canals by the equally ancient
wellsweep-like shadoof Yet along
the edge of the highway that these
fields border runs the modern cleo
trio train from Cairo to the Pyra-
mids.
With the first glimpses, however,
of the Great Pyramid that Mary
caught between the purple arches
of the trees, she lost interest in
the sylvan scenes along the way.
She was nearing the eternal, baff-
ling, immense monuments of that
Old Egypt whose glamour of mys-
terry haunts still all this land! The
long, precise triangle shadow that
the Pyramid cast halfway toward
Cairo on the green fields seemed to
her vivid imagination like SYM
bolic message from that ancient
world.
When Mary reached the plateau
of the desert bordering abruptly
upon the fertile green strip of
land, and made her first awed sur
vey of the Great Pyramid, it was
not its bigness that then impressed
her. In her expansive imagination
she had erected Cheops larger than
it was. But she had never
dreamed that this formal mass of
stones would glow with color. Yet
under the brilliant sun rays Cheops
shone as if built of pure gold.
Shall we not have more time
at the Pyramids, Mohammed, if
we dismiss the carriage and take
the electric car back to Cairo?"
Mary asked, as the dragoman as
sisted her to the ground.

Elizabeth and lack. This after
noon for the Pyramids and the
Sphinx, and tomorrow she would
deliver the American Baby, fresh
as perfect bud, to his parents.
If she was never to call a child her
own, Mary felt that she would al
ways look back to this short
period of proxy ownership of the
American Baby as a glimpse into
the blessedness of motherhood.
A S Mary drove that afternoon
~ to the Pyramids, she tried, in
her considerate way, to allay the
strange uneasiness that had pos
sessed Roxie since their landing at
Alexandria. Roxie," she said
persuasively, Il promise you that
this will be positively our last
sightseeing trip. We won't even
have to go back to the hotel again.
l have ordered our baggage sent
from Shepherds to the depot.
We shall go directly from the
Pyramids to the depot and catch
the six o'clock train for Luxor.
Your Baby, Roxie, will sleep all
night, like the splendid little trav-
eler he is, and in the morning,
early, Mr.. Jack and Miss Elizabeth
will be at the Luxor depot to meet
you. Think, Roxie, how glad they
will be to see us! And won't they
simply be crazy about the little
man here? And don't you think
they ought to feel grateful to you
and me for taking such good care
Of him and bringing him safely on
such long journey! Why, Rookie,
when you get back to Bowling
Green, | shouldn't be surprised if
they met you at the depot with the
