ten about 1850 B. c., but refers In
some sections to methods and med1-
cines prescribed as far back as 37OO
B. c., 5,e12 years ago. Among the JOB
sections or chapters Of this papyrus,
chapter 103 begins:

such as was found In writing under
the feet Of the god Anubis. in the city
OF Letopolis; it was brought to his
majesty, Usaphais, king OF Upper and
Lower Egypt, Il Usaphais Is said to
have been the fifth king Of the first
dynasty, .reigning about 300 B. c., and
it is hard to say how, long previous
to this. finding the sage had lived who
first compiled the chapter or used the
cures recorded. 4.

even while she uttered it another
canoe shot toward her from the shade
on the other shore. The rover was
tall and goodly, stripped to his shirt
and trousers, and evidently master
OF watercraft. Almost before she
knew 1t Milicent had been drawn
into his canoe Without speaking, he
snatched up rifle and sent a bullet
into the swapping turtles head. As
the bulk OF 1t vanished he turned to
Milicent, saying with long breath:

but that is the most satisfactory
shot ever fred"
Milicent sat up very suddenly and
very straight. In the bottom Of the
canoe lay letter sheet--her own
letter, wind.borne to this man of all

for Milicent's. hands. and holding
them close In his own, said tenderly:
