One glance at the uncovered step
was enough to convince him that the
boy had made an important dscov-
cry, and he ordered his diggers to
concentrate on that spot A rnessen-
ger was dispatched for Mr.. Carter,
who hurried back to the concession
to find that the workmen had cleared
the beginning of flight of steps
which undoubtedly led to q tomb
Further clearance revealed a wall
upon which was impressed the seal OF
the royal metropolis. And few
days later the cartouche of King Tut
ankh-Amen was found, which proved
conclusively that the tomb was none
other than his. Lord Carnarvon was
sent for and the discovery was an
nourced to the entire world.
Not at that tiTne-nor at any time

Gorgar been given to the public. Mr.
Garter announced that he had discov-
cred the tomb, and let il go at that
And IL L had not gone to Luxor and
talked with the natives I would

For quite naturally Mr.. Carter, his

nothing to say about this poor Egyp-
tian boy.

story.
I went to see Mohammed Bey

highest Egyptian official in this part
Of the country. 1 asked him if II was
true that Mohamed Gorgar was the

not only substantiated the story of
his discovery in every detail, but told
me he knew the boy well, and where
could find him in Gournah. the lit
tie village on the Nile side OF the
valley.
Lord Carnarvon gave him t170. and

teen-year-old Egyptian boy a sum

added, with a knowing smile.

Naturally, Mr.. Carter deserves a

the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings:
searching for tombs is his business.
just as searching for the north pole
was the profession OF the late Admiral
Peary. And. like Admiral Peary, he
has made a profitable business of it..

WHEN one surveys the discoveries
in this far-off valley in upper
Egypt, one begins to realize what it
means to have a press agent. The
tombs and temples uncovered by The
cdore NJ. Davis OF Newport completely
dwarf King Tut's tomb. Yet not one
person in ten thousand has ever heard
of Mr.. Davis and his discoveries. And
any day another tomb may be dis
covered that will contain more funer-
airy equipment and a more elaborate
sarcophagus than has been found in
the tomb OF Tut-ankh-Amen.
