Sir James is his godfather. He is about ten years old now and hope he is some solace to her for that unfor- tunate marriage. It didn't last very long, but it seems to have started her decline.
 After that madness she played more Shakespeare with Sothern and with Faversham. She did the lead in If Were King even though she was divorced from it's author. But all the while the vaudeville people were clamoring for her, and in the last anAlyxis she wasn't at all comparable in her dramatic work, so back she went to the work she hated.
 "She had her baby to support, and she was frailty itself. She loathed her means of earning her living. She had that capacity for suffering that is given only to genius.
 The war separated us. My duty was here and she was in London, and thus when l went over in 1921 found it very difficult to locate her. She vas playing in dingy bit of theatre in Edgewear Road. She was still re- motely lovely, faint shadow of her former self. She was also still in debt. But even to me she did not eonfide the tragedy of this awful ap- petite.

 But one day strange Englishman, . child of the savages, passed through the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings and had nothing better to do than pfy and probe. The great god Thoth, who knows all things of all times and writes the records of the ages on the blue disk of heaven in hieroglyphs of stars, must have looked down on this Englishman and smiled to reflect how men in Thebes's great day had bean concerned with nothing so much As the future, while these modern ehil- dren seemed immersed forever in the past.
 The wandering Englishman came to a spot where explorers had burrowed into the hill and found the empty tomb of King Ramessu w. Some thing attracted his eye to the face of the hill below the opening to old Ramessu's grave. The place was over grown with weeds and bush. The hillside had been corroded by cen turies of sandstorms and eaten with all the teeth and tears of nature. Nothing was to be discerned save waste and ruin. Yet something strange and subtle held him to the spot. He knew that he stood on ground sacred to antiquity and van ished grandeur. He understood that in these hills the might and splendor that were Egypt had been put to rest. Hereabout had been found the state and story ef old Kings and broken

In this state and with this equipage Tutankh-amen was laid to rest in the great stone crypt of the Theban hills. The doors of the various rooms were sealed with huge stone slahs, laid in mortar. The entrance from the outside was doubly sealed and guarded by stone figures of sphinxes and gods. So Tutanhk- amen slept through the ages.
 Once, more than . century after Tutankh-s -smen's death, when Egypt was in a state of decline and the weak Kings of the twentieth dynasty were on the throne, long since removed to Lower Egypt under Ramessu the Great, the Valley of the Tombs of the impious gold robbers, who burrowed into the tombs of the great dead Kings and removed the precious metals that had been buried with their owners. Word of these outrages finally reached the ears of Pharaoh Ramessu TX. and he sent troops to disperse the robbers and inspectors to repair the damage to the tombs. The crypt of Tutankh-amen had been bored into like the rest and its gate ways and doors had to be repaired and resealed by Ramessu's agents.
