you to kill. / came to speak other words

What, are you going so soon, sister? l
wished to tell you the story about those
Israelites, and especially of the maid whose
name is-what was her name, Ana?'
"Merapi, Moon Of Israel, Prince" l an
swered with a groan.
about the maid called Merapi, Moon of
Israel I think the sweetest that ever l
have looked upon, whose father the dead
captain murdered in my sight"
$50 there is a woman in the business?
Well, l guessed it."
I'm what business is there not woman,
Userti, even in that Of a message from
Pharaoh? Pambasa, Pambasa, escort the
Princess and summon her servants, women
every one Of them, unless my senses mock
me. Goodnight to you, Sister and Lady
of the Two Lands, and forgive me-that
cOronet Of yours is somewhat awry."
At last she was gone and rose, wiping
my brow with corner of my robe and
looked at the Prince, who stood before the
fire laughing softly
Make note Of all this talk, Ana" he
said; there is more in it than meets the
ear"
81 need no note, Prince" ! answered;
"eVery word is burnt upon my mind as a
hot iron burns a tablet of wood. With
reason, too, since now her Highness will
hate me for all her life"
Much better so, Ana, than that she
should pretend to love you, which she
never would have done while you are my
friend Women ofttimes respect those
whom they hate and even will advance
them because Of policy, but let those whom
they pretend to love beware. The time
may come when you will yet be Userti's
most trusted councillor"
Now here l, Ana the Scribe, will state
that in after days. when this same queen

was the wife Of Pharaoh Septah, did, as
it CHANGED, become her most trusted coun-
cillor. Moreover. in those times, yes, and
even in the hour of her death, she swore
that from the moment her eyes first fell
on me she had known me to be true
hearted and held me in esteem as no self
seeker More, l think she believed what
she said, having forgotten that once she
looked upon me as her enemy. This, in
deed, never was, who always held her in
regard and honor as a great lady who loved
her country, though one who sometimes
was not wise. But as l could not foresee
these things on that night of long ago,
only stared at the Prince and said:
"Oh! why did you not allow me to de-
part as your Highness said might at the
beginning? Soon or late my head will pay
the price of this nights work"
Then she must take mine with it.

The Kings Of Egypt can have large
households. Prince"
Il know it. Are there not still scores
whom 1 should call aunt and uncle?
think that my grandsire. Rameses, blessed
Egypt with quite three hundred cnudren,
and in so doing in a way was wise, since
thus he might be sure that, while the world
endures, in it will flow some Of the blood
that once was his"
'Yet in life or death how will that help
him, Prince?"
Nothing at all, Ana, since by good or
evil fortune they are born. Therefore, why
talk of large households? Though, like
any man who can pay for it, Pharaoh may
have large household, seek queen who
shall reign in my heart as well as on my
throne, not a large household Ana. Oh!
l am weary. Pambasa, come hither and
conduct my secretary, Ana, to the empty
room that is next my own, and bid my
slaves attend to all his wants as they
would to mine"
'Why did you tell me you were scribe,
me to my beautiful sleeping-place.
Because that is my trade, chamberlain"
He looked at me, shaking his great head
till the long white beard waved across his
breast like a temple banner in the faint
evening breeze, and answered:
"You are no scribe; you are a magician
Who can win the love and favor of his
Highness in an hour, which others cannot
do between two risings of the Nile. Had
you said so at once, you would have been
differently treated yonder in the hall Of
waiting. Forgive me, therefore, what did
in ignorance"
1t was the fourth hour from sunrise OF
the following day that, for the first time
in my life, found myself in the court of
Pharaoh, standing with other members OF
his household in the train of his Highness,
the Prince Seti. 1t was a very great place,
for Pharaoh sat in the Judgment hall,
whereof the roof is upheld by round and
sculptured columns, between which were
set statues of PharaOhs who had been.
Save at the throne end of the hail. where
the light flowed down through clerestories,
the vast chamber was dim almost to dark
ness.
Through this gloom many folk moved

Listen. Ana. kept you here, not to vex
the Princess or you, but for good reason.
You know that it is the custom Of the royal
dynasties of Egypt for kings, or those who
will be kings, to wed their near kin in
order that the blood may remain the
purer."
Eyes, Prince, and not only among those
who are royal. STILL I think it an evil
custom"
"As do since the race wherein it is
practised grows ever weaker in body and
in mind; which is why, perhaps. my father
what my father is.'
ALSO, Prince, it is hard to mingle the
love of the sister and Of the wife"
Very hard, Ana; so hard that when it
is attempted both are apt to vanish. Well.
our mothers having been true royal wives,
though hers died before mine was welded
by my father, Pharaoh desires that !
should marry my halfsister, Userti, and,
what is worse, she desires it also. More
over, the people who fear trouble ahead in
Egypt if we, who alone are left Of the true
royal race born of queens, remain apart,
and she takes another lord or ] take an
other wife, demand that 1t should be
brought about, since they believe that who
ever calls Userti the Strong his spouse
will one day rule the land"
"Why does the Princess wish it-that
she may be a queen?"
''Yes, Ana, though were she to wed my
cousin, Amenmeses, the son Of Pharaoh's
elder brother Khaemuas, she might still
be a queen. if chose to stand aside, as l
should not be 10th to do"
would Egypt suffer this, Prince?"
81 do not know, nor does it matter, since
she hates Amenmeses, who is strong
willed and ambitious, and will have none
of him. Also he is already married.
as there no other royal one whom she
might take, Prince?"
None. Moreover, she wishes me alone"
"Why, Prince?"
Because of ancient custom which she
worships. Also because she knows me
we'll and in her fashion is fond OF me,
whom she believes to be a gentle-minded
dreamer that she can rule. Lastly, be-
cause | am the lawful heir to the crown,
and without me to share it she thinks that
she would never be safe upon the throne,

"Seti," she said, stamping her foot, "if
1t pleases you to make mock Of me before
a stranger, suppose that must submit.
Send him away. l would speak with you"
Make a mock of you! Oh! mine is a
hard fate. When truth gushes from the
well Of my heart / am told l mock, and
when mock all say-he speaks truth. Be
seated, sister, and talk on freely. This
Ana is my sworn friend who saved my life
but now, for which deed perhaps he should
be my enemy. His memory is excellent,
also, and he will remember what you say
and write it down afterward, whereas l
might forget. Therefore, with your leave,
will ask him to stay here"
my Prince" 1 broke in, 81 pray you
suffer me to 60"
my secretary" he answered with note
Of command, 81 pray you to remain where
you are"
So l sat myself on the ground after the
fashion of a scribe, having no choice, and
the Princess sat herself on a couch at the
end of the table, but seti remained stand
ing. Then the Princess said:
"Since it is your will. brother, that I
should talk secrets into other ears than
yours, obey you. StiIP'-here she looked
at me wrathfully-"let the tongue be care
full that 1t does not repeat what the ears
have heard, lest there should be neither
ears nor tongue. My brother, it has been
reported to Pharaoh, while we ate together,
that there is tumult in this town 1t has
been reported to him that because of a
trouble about some base IsraeIite you
caused one of his officers to be beheaded,
after which there came a riot which still
RACES"
Strange that truth should have come
TO the ears of Pharaoh so quickly. Now,
my sister, if he had heard it three moons
hence could have believed you-aImost."
Then you did behead the officer?"
Eyes, l beheaded him about two hours
ago."
Pharaoh will demand an account of
the matter"

so do l. can assure you that his stories
are a great improvement on them. Friend
Ana, this is my sister, Userti, my fathers
daughter though our mothers were not the
same"
81 pray you, Seti, to be so good as to
give me my rightful titles in speaking OF
me to scribes and other Of your servants.

MEMORIAL

Sweet Joe Sid has left his loved ones
This journeying here was brief,
But he has gone to his home in HEAVIER
Where there is no such thing as grief
"Come unto me, l will give you rest,
Our blessed Saviour has said.
And He has taken our darling home
Tho sorrow has crowned your head
Tho your sorrow seems hard to bear
A favor by God has been given.
He has taken your child from this
sinful earth
And given you an angel in Heaven
from those we love is hard
But what will the meeting be
When you have reached the other
shore
Your angel, Joe Sid, to see.
God has promised home in Heaven,
Where all faithful may rest,
Rest in presence of Saviour divine,
Enjoying the scenes of the blest.
In memory of Joe Sid, the little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. V. G. Gray.
An Aunt.

THE DEADLY GRADE CROSSING

Almost daily we read of serious
and too often fatal-accidents oc-
curing on railway grade crossings.
Seldom, if ever, can the railroads
be blamed. Carelessness upon the
part of automobile drivers is the
principal cause. A perfect system of
highways will eliminate the deadly
grade crossing. The Bulletin feels
reasonably sure that railways will CO.
operate with highway commissions
everywhere in building overhead and
underpasses. The railroads recog
nize that killing an automobile load
of people or badly Gripping them
would cost in law suits and verdicts
more than half of what a bridge or
an underpass would cost them. This
grade crossing matter will undoubted-
ly receive the attention of all road
builders in the future. There are
over 5000 public and semi-public
grade crossing in Georgia that cannot
be closed by law and therefore must
have the thoughtful attention of State
and railway officials. Join the Geor-
gia State Automobile Association and
help us correct this menace to lives.

In The Atlanta Georgian

go. My children must ride in an
automobile today or street car.
When l was a boy I made all my
toys-tops, popguns, kites, etc. My
children's toys all come from the
stores ready made.
We used to buy bacon in the
strip" today we buy it sliced in a
fancy jar-no better bacon, but high
cost.
We used milk or bread as cereal.
Now breakfast foods no more nourish-
ing-but 500 per cent more costly.
We used to wear $1.25 brogan
shoes-all leather and would last a
year or two with half soling.) Now
we prefer to wear fancy patterns at
$40 to SIP, and wear them out in
few months.
And so on through the whole year.
The more money we get the more
"high cost" articles we buy. l recall
when earned SIS month and board.
l saved $14 aamonth, and latter when
earned $50 a month / didn't save a
cent. then had to have $55 tailor
made suits and SOS overcoats and 10
cent cigars and vacation trip to the
seashore and join the clubs.
We can't and don't live uniformly.
I recall three men working in 1876
for the same concern. A had $3.50
day, B had $1.25 per day, C had so
cents a day in wages. A was mar
ried and years after died poor man.
B got married, bought lot, built
home, all while earning $1.25 day.
C accumulated a fortune and was
known and respected as leading pub
lie spirited citizen.
All these facts, think, justify the
conclusion that Giving" is an individ-
ual problem.
