only reason that / did not do so on
that occasion was the fear of adding
still more unpleasant complications to
those already on hand. Finally, after
passing through the strange little grot-
TO where Mr.. Covington pointed cut
the mysterious granite block he dis
covered concealed there, we reached
the grand gallery, where 1t was heav-
emily pleasure to once more fill our
lungs with good air.
We passed through the horizontal
gallery and entered the Queens cham

chambers in the Pyramid, although no

ticed the smooth, white, pointed roof,
which distinguishes 1t from the granite
Kings chamber above. This Queens
chamber contains perhaps the finest
masonry in the world, the Jennings Of
the great white limestone blocks being
almost invisible, yet they contain q
thin, weblike film of white cement.
We returned once more to the grand
gallery, leading upward to the large
granite-lined room containing a sar-
cophagus, supposed to be Khufu's.
This magnificent gallery, 155 feet long
2S feet high and more than z feet
wide, is built of white mokattam lime
stone, so finely wrought and laid that
into the joints between the blocks 1t is
difficult to insert the point of a needle
or even hair. Above the second
overlapping course of stones that COM
pose the walls there is a finely cut
four-inch groove that extends right
around the entire gallery. It's use is
unknown. Yet those ancients must
have had excellent reasons for chisel-
Ing it out. Again, why?
Passing from the grand gallery
through the small, mysterious granite
antechamber, we found ourselves III.
the famous superb granite Kings
chamber, the walls of which are COM
posed of just 100 blocks of red gran
lite. We were alone, and standing by
the side of the mutilated, lidless sar-
cophagus of that great Pharaoh who
reigned more than 5000 years ago.
We had the Pyramid entirely to our
selves. 1t was long after midnight.
There was deadly silence, broken oc-
casionally by the chirp of distant
bat. The sensation experienced was
one of eerie pleasure, not unmixed
with awe. / was In the presence of q
great manifestation Of power-the liv-
ing power of man dead nearly six
millenniums ago; a man who in the
morning of the world had wrought his
own Immortality In this architectural
wonder of the ages. No one could
help feeling exalted at the majesty
and mystery of the great structure;
Its defiance of time and defeat of in
curry; its strength and beauty; it's
geometrical perfection. Then came
over the exaltation feeling of depres-
sion as of the weight Of all the SUPER
imposed masonry above me, and upon
that the weight Of centuries and Of
death. We were in. a structure of
world-amazing grandeur, but for all
that, tomb.

TIMiD WIDoWERs.


OF his own ruin and disaster;
Controls his fate, but nothing less.
In ordering his own happiness.
For all his care and providence
Is far too feeble a defence
To render IT secure and certain
Against the injuries of fortune.
And oft, in spite of all his wit,
Is lost with one unlucky hit,
And ruined with a circumstance
And mere punctilio of chance,
One can be led into the belief that
there may be timid bachelors, even
against ones better judgment, but the
imagination has to be stretched to its
utmost limit to give the widower the
benefit of a doubt as to his being
timid or bashful in the presence of
women.
The "resourcefulness and push" of
comely widows is time-honored wit
ticism which is never allowed to grow
stale because of constantly occurring
examples of her prowess In ensnaring
male hearts. Therefore, one naturally
expects widower should be quite as
proficient in the delicate art of at
tracing hearts.
There never was a greater error.
The previous married life of the man
and the woman has everything to do
with establishing confidence in them
selves or routing it utterly. The hus-
band who loves fondly, imhues his
wife with the belief that she is the
most charming, the most fascinating
of women. He is never weary of
thanking her most humbly for giving
herself to such a plain, unattractive
man as himself. Hearing this con-
stantly, she believes it and fancies she
could have won any man for whom she
might have set her cap. Once q
widow, she is plumed with the assur-
ance that no man will be able to with
stand her Establishments. And II usu-
ally happens ''as person thinketh, so
Is he."
But let 1t be understood that the
same sauce Of appreciation has not
been fed to the husband. He is given
to understand in tacit way that he is
sadly lacking in all the attributes that
believe that he Is awkward of man
ner; that his conversation is uninter-
esting to the opposite sex; that she is
the only woman In the world who
could or would have loved him. She
gives him to understand his popularity
Is entirely due to her and her social
activities; that he would be nothing
without her, absolutely nothing.
Despite the loneliness of his heart
and home, not one widower out of a
hundred would enter the ranks of mat
rimony again did he not meet with the
one woman who was able to topple
over his firmly-grounded ideas and
cause him to realize that he still had
attractions and still had the power to
awaken affection in another heart
that would accord him his full need
OF appreciation and love.
