through all the formalities, he
refused absolutely to accept
anything. Whereupon I ad-
vised him to remain in Egypt
, because he wouldn't last long
as a policeman in New York.
Where was I? Oh, yeS-the
money. I told the officer that
I needed some Egyptian money,
and he gave me the same ad-
vice that the others had handed
out.
do not change more than IS
on the dock" he advised. Come
with me and we will change
that sum with one of the money
changers. With me along, they
will not dare cheat you. And
then, as soon as you leave the
dock, you can rely upon the
American Express Company to
give you the best rates."
Losing Money
So we turned the IS into
Egyptian money. with the
changer crying out to heaven
that he was losing on the deal
and that he was giving me
such an enormous rate only
because the policeman was
friend of mine. I felt so sorry
for the man that I wanted to
return some of the exchange
to him. But the officer re-
fused his permission.
Alas for my plans! After
rocking for 20 minutes in a
perilouS hack, I arrived in the
heart of Alexandria only to
learn that my money spots
would not open again until 8
o'clock that afternoon. My
next best bet, I felt, was the
railroad station. So I had my
luncheon, took another short
drive and rolled up to the sta
tion to buy my tickets for
Cairo.
No go. The railroad boys
didn't want to know anything
about erican money or
Travellers Checks. They wanted
their good old Egyptian dough
and they wanted it on the
line. So Mr.. Hellinger, with
time growing shorter and
shorter, had no choice in the
matter. Grabbing the nearest
taxi I raced into town again
and had the driver stop at the
store of the first money changer
in sight.
I slapped a bill down on the
counter.
"Give me your best exchange
for that in Egyptian money"
cried. "The best, mind you.
And hurry up"
He nodded, and began to
count. I knew I'd be gypped
plenty, but I couldn't help
myself. 1t was a question Of
necessity in this case, and I'd
have to make the best of it.
I grabbed the money that he

Regrettably enough, although

that Egypt is a country OF

in Cairo, I expect-it is moth
