SECRET HISTORY 111-WHY MOSES
WAS RESCUED.
From Excuse ISL
1. And it came to pass that Suffra-
Gette, the daughter of Pharaoh was
much vexed. Even the daughter of the
Hebrew man who cleaned out the Gus
pidors in her fathers palace was hap
pier than she.
of her sorrow. For To- he giveth her
what was once her hearts desire di-
vided skirt and granteth her permission
to ride therein upon the back of a don
key, yea, even to the pyramids and back.
Still she mourned.
g. Then he asketh her: "Why griev-
est thou, Oh daughter? Art thou not
Pharoha's child? Art thou not head
priestess in the Temple of Whist? Yea,
scribe for the Pyramid Art club. By
Isis, art thou in love?"
4. And Suffra-Gette answereth:
NAY, nay, speak not of love to me.
The youth for whom I burneth thy
torches while I sit me late at night
doth but amuse me. care not Tor him.
He is but a mere man. The cause OF
my sorrow is higher than that. but
have taken my vow to reveal the cause
to no man."
5. Lo, the father. knoweth that she
is just like her mother and argueth no
more.
6. Now it happened that in the city
of Thebes not far from the country
home of Suffra-Gette there was much
style.
T. And the head dresses and head
coverings of the women were fearfully
and wonderfully made.
s. Now, therefore. was much envy
among the ladies when one got herself
a hat comelier than any worn by the
others.
g. And there was wailing and weep
ing and crashing Of teeth.
10. Lo, it came to pass that Suf1ra-
Gettes milliner goeth riding on the
Nile and falleth in love with the oars
man.
IL. She elopeth with him and letteth
her shop go hang.
IL Now. there was none like unto
this millinery in all Egypt.
49, For she sayeth to her customers:
'fLo, the hat which thou triest on be-
cometh thee wonderfully. Thou lookest
a perfect dear therein" And she max
lxnfh
which Suffra-Gette voteth Charming.
IA. And no one in all Egypt, when
this milliner had left could fill the bill.
Is. So the daughter of Pharoha, in
whom the hatteress had taken interest
personal was sore distressed.
16. And though she was the daugh-
ter of Pharoha, albeit, the 1owly maid
ems some times had hats of later design
than she. For the other m1ll1ners whom
Suffra-Gette patroniseth not, get even
by making fine hats for the common
maidens.
II. SO it happened that at the meet
ing of the Temples Aid society there
was a certain woman who had hat OF
newer make than Suffra-Gette. $685..
Is. And it was long and narrow. and
there were StrawS OF many hueS ana
birds of divers kind thereon.
49, But the next day Suffra-Gette ana
her maidens Oh-Vote, and Talk-An,
were walking down by the river side,
Intending to wash.
20. For Sah-Bone.. the court phys1-
clan, sayeth unto them, "Cold bath
helpeth the complexion"
81 And while they try to take Off
their hobble skirts, Oh-Vote seeth
something in the river.
%. And when it hoateth near Suffra-
Gette seeth it contajneth straw and
hath divers birds thereon
49, Then crieth she with joy: Mine
enemies hat hath been lost. Fetch II
that we may burn it.
"a. But it was found to contain boy
babe.
25 10, Suffra- Gette was sore disap-
pointeth but she sayeth:
g. Let US take the babe and 1 Will
teach him. He shall work for women's
suffrage when he groweth up
81. So the babe was saved and cared
