KILLED WHILE R0BBINo TOMB


Professor Petrie, the eminent Egyp-
toiogist. wh3e exploring about thirty
fve miles from Cairo. discovered q
tomb Of the Twelfth Dynasty that
thieves had broken into thousands of
years ago. A tragedy attended the
robbery. as Professor Petrie also dis
covered. The Sunday School Times
calls 1t "a tragedy of providential
justice"
1T appears" says Professor Petrie,
that the plunderers removed only a
few bricks. 30 that q man could crawl
into the tomb. One Of the men entered.
opened the coffin. lifted the mummy
out and laid 1t across the coffin, 30
that he could easily unwind the band
ages. He first found q collar of beads.
which he passed out into the shaft.
where we found 1t. Then he came to
the jewels "a beautiful work of gold
and colored gems), and took 1t from
the body. Before he could do anything
more the roof apparently fell In. and
crushed him and the mummy. The
other robbers. seeing the fate Of their
accomplice, abandoned the tomb. and
filled In the shaft to hide their guilt"
The explorers found the skeleton Of
the robber beside that of the mummy.

with stouter hearts than we await the
verdict that may sound our doom.
We look more resignedly upon the
dying one. Crushed and bowed down
as she was by her husbands tragic
death Jane found . sort Of solace in
the very exQuisiteness of her grief.
The sacrifice he had made for her was
complete. To the world at large-to
all save her and Brand and Dick, Rey-
nolds' suicide was but one Of those
every day sordid affairs of modern life
the symbol Of failure and q weak
ling's surrender. But to those who
knew the truth the act was invested
with the dignity Of martyrs. 1t had
saved her from the shame and horror
Of an expose that might have come at

price of her folly.

the construction was dead. Like all
Investigations Of the kind there was
much outcry and clamor at the start.
but with delays and court continuances
and lack of specific charges the mat
ter waned and was soon forgotten.
Brand took good care that the press
learned Of the dead mans financial dis
solution and to the public mind this
accounted for his self-destruction.
SO, Jane saw Brand immune and un-
ruined while she had only the memory
of q better mans love to help hel
drown the voice Of conscience. In the
bitterness of her sorrow and self-ab-
horrence there came times when she
was moved to risk any fate for herself
that she might bring down some ex-
piation for the tragedy Of the dam and
Bob's death upon the head Of Brand.
But in such moments the face Of her
husband shone before her and she
heard again his loving words of abne-

JUST THE SAME KIND OF GIRL
Modern Maid, In Al Essentials, 70 .
Worthy Copy Of Her Mother
and GRANDMOTHER.

Every now and again somebody
asks. In print. this question: What
has become Of the old-fashioned girl
that helped her mother wash the
dishes?" Probably the same ques-
ton has been asked since the time
of Noah and will be asked until the
end.
Mary Lyon. when she provided for
the establishment Of Mount Holyoke
college for girls. stipulated that al
the household work in It should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to .. recent date.
when the directors and faculty, feel
ing that the practice might have be-
come outworn. made the domestic
tasks of the institution optional for
the undergraduates.
But when the girls Of Mount Holy
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject. TAB Of the 800
elected to continue in the tasks Of
sweeping corridors. washing dishes.
setting tables and making up beds.
There IL no need to worry about
the American girl. even II she does
wear gowns the sight Of which seems
to preclude all idea of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
1t. but she is In all essentials the
same kind of girl our mothers and
grandmothers were.
