when the consort OF the emperor was
laid away in the mausoleum at
Memphis a band of Greek marauders
entered the deserted palace Of the
pharaoh and took all the precious
stones and metals and the women
slaves and reached the banks of the
Red sea with their plumber. Only two
Of the band were captured, and they
were turned over by the ruler to the
wise men, by whom they were viyi-
sected in the interest Of science. No
matter how much the robbers Of the
modern houses OF mourning may be
despised, they need not fear that form
OF punishment.
