Convinced that the apartment was

means of egress, crossed the room ON
tiptoe, and peered cautiously out into

I moved to the only window and
glanced out; it opened upon the back
of the house and presented sheer
drop to the ground. At the slight
noise of the moving sash a sentry
standing at the corner glanced up
suspiciously. Evidently each side Of

My own situation at this moment
was too critical, too full of peril and
uncertainty. to afford opportunity for
moralizing over Bungay's chances of
escape. Only one possibility lay be-

necessity for planning. It was pure

without at least knocking over some

slowly, creeping inch by inch like a
snake, carefully testing each object
touched in the darkness for fear Of its
proving loose, until finally lay
stretched at full length upon what
was evidently, from it's feeling, a
carpet of unusually fine texture.

a sort OF so-as-you-pleasc ballot, and he
lacked a few votes OF being among the
chosen. If there was a purpose 10 de-
feat Senator Applet, some of Judge
Jones most ardent supporters did not
know it. because they voted Tor hlm:
and 100, there was no Indication OF such
purpose at the meeting. The CORES

Old Egyptian Perfumes.

Priests in Egypt, who were the sole
deposita-;es Of science, knew the Sc
cret Of aromatic substances and pre-
pared them themselves. Egyptian
perfumes acquired great celebrity, es-
pecia!ly those made in Alexandria.
Reserved originally for religious rites,
perfumes subsequently became Of cur
rent use among the wealthy classes.
During banqucts they were diffused
through the halls and were burnt in
profus;on. The Israclites during their
sojourn In Egypt adopted the use Of
aromatic substances primarily for re-
ligious purposes and afterward for
personal usage. The Greeks, who
loved elegance, were especially ad-
dicted to the use Of perfumes, and
they taught their secrets and usage
to the Romans, who were not content
to use merely the perfumes Of the
orient-aloes, myrrh, incense and rard
but also made perfumes similar to
those Of the present day-scents Of
lilies, lavender, roses and thyme.
