Marvin that ali this was by way OF
graceful little stretch after few thou
sand years of sleep
Her next move was to smoothe her
dress with a very modern and very femi-
nine movement of the pink nailed fingers.
She moved quickly and lightly about
the room examining with eager curiosity
the electric lights, the chairs, the floor
and particularly the window panes. She
must have gazed several minutes spell
bound across the Hudson at the Palisades
: Marvin now observed that she was
Pauline's height and age, as well as gen
eral size and form Slightly shorter she
might have been, but then she lacked
Pauline's high heels. The general re-
semblance was striking except IN the

color of the eyes and hair. Pauline'S
tresses were light golden yellow, while
this girls hair was black as the hollow
of the sphinx. Pauline S eyes were blue,
but she who stood before him gazed
through eyes too dark to guess their
color
The Egyptian had found little mirror.
She patted her kair, adjusted the head
dress, but Marvin waited in vain for the
powder puff From the mirror the girl
eyes wandered to painting hanging
above the desk. 1t was an excellent like
ness of Pauline. The resemblance be-
tween the two was obvious, not only to
Marvin but evidently to the b!ack-haired
girl. She turned to the old man and ad-
dressed him in a strange language. Not

one word did he recognize, yet the sylla-
bles were so clearly and carefully pro
nounced that he felt he was listening to
an educated woman Some Of the tones
were like Pauline's, some were not, but
all were soft, sweet, modulated.
The meaning was clear enough. She
wished Marvin to see the resemblance,
and she frowned slightly because the
rigid, staring figure did not respond.
Why should she be impatient, this woman

unresponsive while Babylon and Greece
and Rome and Spain had risen and TALENT
Soon she resorted to pantomime,

She felt of her own jet hair, shook her
head and looked questioningly at the
light couture of Pauline. She turned to
the old man, evidently asking if the
painting were true in this respect. Then
she smiled smile like Pauline's. Fer
haps she was asking If Pauline mad
changed the color Of her hair. Marvin
wished he could answer her that his
adopted daughters hair was just as Ma
ture meant it to be.
Now she became interested in book
on the corner of the desk. With httie
musical ordinations of delight she
turned the printed pages and appreciated
that the shelves contained hundreds more
of these treasures The typewriter let
ters lying about excited her admiration,
and then the pen and ink. She quickly
guessed the use Of the pen and ran eagerly
TO the mummy case. A moments search
brought forth long roll of papyrus. Be
fore Marvin's eyes she unrolled scroll
covered with Egyptian hieroglyphics
Marvin was beginning to understand
her meaning if not her words.
She looked as Pauline had looked few
moments before when she informed the
Now she was back to the painting once
more. and Marvin knew what she was
asking. Marvin was not sure whether
he managed to nod little or not, but
she seemed to get his answer.
There were footsteps in the hall and the
Egyptian looked toward the. door. Owen
entered, looked at Marvin searchlngly,
placed him in a more comfortable position
in the chair. spoke his name and walked
ont. What seemed most surprising to the
sick man was his secretary 8 oversight Oh
the girl He passed in front OF her,
almost brushing her white robe, ana yet
il was clear that he did not see her.
But the Egyptian had seen him and the
sipht had excited her She seemed des-
/peratelv anxious to say something to
Marvin, something about Pauline. AT
last she tbrew herself on her knees before
him and spoke softly IN his ear ana
somehow the meaning stripped Oh lts
words entered his mind.
The mummy had secret to reveall
RAPIDLY her lips moved-Marvln un
derstood.
She tore the bracelet from her righi
wrist and tried to force it into Marvin
nerveless grasp Try as she would, hli
muscles did not respond. There were
voices in the hallway Harry and Pauline
we're running down stairs. The Princess
gave one last imploring glance at tn
paralyzed figure, passed her hand gently
over his forehead, then she stepped quick
w back to the case. A moment more ant
she had gathered up her bandages
stepped in and replaced the lower half o
the case.
Harry and Pauline rushed in, followec
less hastily by Owen. They grasped tn
old mans hands, and Harry Selling tn
telephone, called DIR. Stevens. But to tn
surprise of everybody Marvin suddenl'
shook off the paralysis, spoke, moved ant
seemed none the worse for his seizure.

seemed to rush and eddy about HIM
1t was too much for the old man He
had overtaxed his feeble vitality and felt
his senses leaving him. With the entire
force of his viii he was able to get to
chair, into which he sank The odor of
the vial was still in his nostrils His eyes
were fixed and stared straight ahead, but
he could see, in faint, unnatural yellow
light that bathed the room.
From the vial lying at the mummy s
feet q vapor appeared to rise. 1t teated
toward the swathed figure, enveloped 1t
and seemed to be absorbed by it.
Perhaps this is death thought Mar
vim, "for cannot move or speak.
But something else moved. There was
futter among the bandages of the
mummy. The commotion increased.
Something was moving inside. The ban
dages were becoming loosened. They fell
away from the face, and then was Marvin
amazed indeed Instead of the tight,
brown parchment skin one always
finds in these ancient relics appeared
smooth. olive-tinted complexion. 1t was
the face of young and beautiful woman
The features were serene as II IN death.
but there was no Sunken muse ho1
mummy's hollow eyes.
A strand Of black hair fell down, and
the movement beneath the bandages IN
creased. Out of the folds came an arm,
a womans arm, slender, yet rounded, an
arm with light bones and fine slnews,
clearly an arm and hand that had never
known work Marvin was well aware
that mummy arm is invariably black
skeleton claw.
At this point the old man made mental
note that he was not dead for he could
feel his own breathing. The arm rapidly
and gracefully loosehed and removed
wrappings from the neck and breast. On
the wrist flashed bracelet made OF linked
scarabs. The arm now cast away the last
covering of the bosom, neck and shodl-
ders.
Next the hand passed over the face,
removing from the mouth, nostrlls and
ewes a sort of wax-like covering. Slowly
q the bosom heaved as if in drawing long
breath. then the hand dropped limp at
her side.
Marvin struggled with the paralysis
that held him fast. He wanted to help
her. He forgot his own predicament in
disappointment that this beauty should
after all fail to come to life. She resem-
bled some one, too "What pity"
Suddenly the eyes opened. They were
large eyes and long, like Pauline S, and
their lashes too, We're starry. A dazed
expression was in them as they glanced
about the room>until finally they fell upon
Marvin. The arm stretched out toward
him and beckoned, but the old man could
not respond She seemed to be trying to
speak, but the strange atmosphere and
lungs that had not breathed since the
days when the pyramids were cased in
white proved too much for her
Looking down at herself, she freed her
left hand lifted out the bottom half of
the case and slid the wrappings from her
limbs. Bare-footed and bare-ankled
clothed only in shimmering white gown
that scarcely covered her knees and a
white head dress with a green serpent
head in front, she stepped somewhat
stiffIy into the room. Slowly she made
several movements of limbs and body like
~the first steps of dance. She rose on
her toes. looked down at herself and
swayed her 1.-THE hips, 1t occurred to
