I answered, and departed wondering
AS I went down the corridor whom

inform me with many bows that the Prince
needed my presence. l asked how that
could be. seeing he had dismissed me for
the night. He replied that he did not

upon his staff, and with him Ki himself
clad in a white robe and having his head
shaven, for he was an hereditary priest OF
Anon of Thebes and an initiate Of Isis,
Mother of Mysteries Also his office was
that of Kherheb, or chief magician OF
Egypt
At first sight there was nothing strange
about this man. Indeed, he might well
have been a middle-aged merchant by his
looks. in body he was short and stout; in
face fat and smiling. But in this jovial
countenance were set two very strange
eyes. gray-hued rather than black. While
the rest of the face seemed to smile these
eyes looked straight into nOthingness as

This strange pair bowed to the Prince
and seated themselves at a sign from him.

said HI in a full. rich voice, ending the
words with a curious chuckle.
You told me. magician, that we should
find the Prince in this chamber OF which
you described every detail to me as l see
it now. although neither of us have en-
tered it before. You said also that seated
therein on the ground would be the scribe
Ana, whom l know but you do not, having
in his hands waxen tablets and a stylus
and by him a coat of curious mail and
Iion-hited sword"
THAT is strange" interrupted the Prince,
but forgive me, Bakenkhonsu sees these
things. II you, Ki would tell us what
Is written upon Ana's tablets which neither
of You can see, it would be stranger still;
that is, if anything is written"
Ki smiled and stared upward at the cell

"The scribe Ana uses a shorthand of his

way, scribe, that was a very good place
you chose in which to hide one half Of the
cup-in the false bottom of a chest in
your chamber, a chest that is fastened with
a cord and sealed with scarab Of the time
of the second Rameses. think that the
other half of the cup is somewhat nearer
at hand" and turning, he stared at the
wall where l could see nothing save slabs
Of alabaster.
Now I sat open-mouthed, for how could
this man know these things? and the
Prince laughed outright, saying:
ANA, begin to think you keep your
counsel i'll. At least l should think 50,
were it not that you have had no time to
tell what the Princess yonder may have
said to you, and can scarcely know the
which have never shown to you."
Ki chuckled again and smile grew on
old Bakenkhonsu's broad and wrinkled
face.

that never has one word passed my lips

Il know It, friend" broke in the Prince,
"but it seems there are some who do not

This, Prince. You go upon a journey

Now, BakenkhOnsu and l. also two seers
of my college, seeing that we all love you
and that your welfare is much to Egypt,

that you will become the favorite of his
Highness, a man who does not change his
mind in such matters, and that he will tell
you all his secret thought, perhaps some
that he hides from the Councillors OF
State, or even from me. In short you will
grow into power in the land and perhaps
one day be the greatest in it-after Pha-
raoh-although you may still seem to be

81 do not pretend to you that l should
have wished this to be so, who would
rather that my husband had but one real
councillor-myself. Yet seeing that it is
so, bow my head. hoping that it may be
decreed for thesbest. If ever any jealousy
should overcome me in this matter and
should speak sharply to you, as l did to-
day, l ask your pardon in advance. l pray
of you, Scribe Ana, that you will do your
best to influence the mind OF the Prince
for good, since he is easily led by any
whom he loves. pray you also being
quick and thoughtful, as l see you are, that
you will make a study of statecraft, and
of the policies of our royal house, coming
to me, if it be needful, for instruction
therein, so that you may be able to guide
the feet of the Prince Alright, should he
turn to you for counsel"
"All of this will do, your Highness, #
by any chance it lies in my power, though
who am I that should hope to make a
path for the feet of kings? Moreover,

''Is that right, Ana?" asked the Prince.

you anything of what is written upon the

upon those of wax which he holds In his
