CHAPTER VII.-Continued.

Ryanne was intensely dissatisfied with
himself. For once his desperate mood
had carried him too far. He had made
too many confessions. had antagonised q
woman who was every bit as clever and
ingenious as himself. The enterprise to-
ward which they were moving held him
simply because it was an exploit that en-
ticed wholly his twisted outlook upon life.
There was a forbidding humor I'm the
whole affair. too which he alone saw.
The possible rewards were TO him OF sec
ondary consideration. 1t was the fun OF
the thing. 1t was the fun OF the thing
that had put him squarely upon the wide.
short road to perdition. which had made
him first a spendthrift. then a thief. The
fun Of the thing-sinister phrase! A thou
sand times had he longed to go back, Tor
he wasn't all bad but door after door
had shut behind him. and now the single
purpose was to get to the end OF the road
by the shortest route.
He did not deceive himself His des-
perate mood was the result OF an IN
fernal rage against himself. rage
against the weakness of his heart. For
his path at that time when he might have
been saved? And yet, would she have
saved him? God alone knew.

 Then there is that exquisite story of the scented lock of hair and they even say that the crystal springs of the Nile bubble up in the gardens of paradise and do service for the ablutions of angels.
 As gazed upon these huge piles of stone, I thought no wonder the Greeks declared that the Egyptians regarded life as a mere inn and looked upon their tomb as their eternal home.
 It was the sphinx that held me in the thraldom of fascination. There it rest ed with the same calmness and imper- durability that have companioned 1t 5000 years, It's fixed eyes watching dreamily the shifting sands peopled with the spectres of earth's countless dynasties that have moved before It's tireless vision. The waves of the desert have shrouded its breast deep in the winding sheet of gold or silver, as you view it by sunlight or moonbeam, and in it's loneliness of unnumbered ages it may well be said to breathe All who tread the globe are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom
