AS John o. Sproul, manager of one

buy lingerie or furs to meet the

Before the Gods Had Left

In some of the tombs the sarcophagi
were still in place-all empty, except
one. This WAS the splendid tomb OF
Amenophis H., Of the eighteenth dy-
nasty, who lived in the glory of Egypt,
1000 B. Ca warrior who slew seven
Syrian chiefs with his own hand.
Gaddis had not told US what to expect
in that tomb. and when we had fol-
lowed through the long declining way
and reached the royal chamber and
beheld there not an empty sar-
cophagus, but king asleep, we were
struck to silence with that $500 years
Of visible rest.
The top of the sarcophagus is re-
