Then lie finds the sky ablaze as the sun rises in a sea of red?a spectacle that is awe-inspiring in its grandeur. Being a lover of nature, Mynheer Joe gloats over the view and regrets to see the bright col ors fade away. Another day in Egypt has begun, a day of sightseeing to the many travelers who come to feast their eyes on storied Nile, majesJc pyramids, wonderful ruins, strange tombs hewn in the rocks of the Mokkatam Hills above Cairo, and, above all, the massive Sphinx, that guards the remains of a temple under the sand?a day that may have much to do with the fortunes of Mynheer Joe and those he calls friends. CHAPTER XI COMING EVENTS CAST A SHADOW BEFORE. Shepherd's is astir. Parties are sallying forth, equipped for sightseeing. Some go by the river, while others mount donkeys, acpordIng to what they mean to gaze upon. The scene in front of the hotel is once mnrn nM nf nnnfnsioTi. Finplv dressed dragomans are busting about, ordering the donkey-boys this way and that, and assuming an air of most tremendous importance. Indeed, it could be easily imagined that some great Eastern potentate is about to set out on a most wonderful journey to see the excitement that reigns in front of the hotel. Every day, during the winter season, It is the same. These tourists, principally English and American, who make the rounds of Egypt, leave a large sum of money behind them, and If a year comes when some dreaded disease keeps the tide of travel away, there will be mourning in the land of the Khedive among Turk, Arab, Moor and native fellahin. Mynheer Joe, after breakfast, is seated where he may watch this panorama and enjoy its peculiar features as only one can who is a veteran traveler or has no business on hand. While Joe sits upon the piazza he sees one approaching whose coming fires his heart. Of course it is Molly ?no one else could make his blood leap so madly. She reachcs his side, and Mynheer Joe is on his feet instantly, offering her a chair. He makes a move to toss his weed away, I but^ she calls, out /"Refrain! I know it would give you pain in the first place, and in the open air I really enjoy the odor of a good cigar," she laughs. ^.e looks at his weed doubtfully. "This is x'urkish tobacco, and has afine reputation, but I rather prefer the American when I can get it, or Havana, which is the same thing. How- j ever, since you are so kind, I will keep It, and take a seat to leeward," which he does with much pleasure. She does not look as though bent upon a mission of reproach. Joe takes . courage and boldly opens the game himself. "You have learned tbe truth, Miss Molly. I was in the act of confessing myself, when the baron and his friend Interrupted us." "Yes, I know all about It," she replies, nodding. "And you don't bear malice?" eagerly. "How could I?against the one who saved my life?and under such extraordinary circumstances as this thing was done, too. No, sin?e my father has forgiven you 1 will not be backward about doinp the same. Besides, he firmly believes that you saved his life in some way that he would not explain." It is evident that Molly does not know all. and is ignorant that the baron is the prime cause of this trouble. Some men would have taken solid satisfaction in informing her as to the truth, and with good reason, too, but wijuiitfi jue si'iruis in ue uuuve 11. "Let us drop the whole matter, Miss Molly," be says, quite willing it shall be forgotten. She looks at him a little queerly, for It has already occurred to her woman's mind thai there is something back of It all which she had not yet fathomed?something concerning an unKnown quantity, the terrible danger at which her father has hinted without giving any details, and like others of the human family, Miss Molly is gifted with a certain amount of curiosity, that trait not wholly confined to her sex. "Very well, it shall be just as you say, on one condition, Mynheer Joe," she replies. "What is that?" he asks. "Some time you will tell me what this danger is that hangs over the governor's head." "Yes, I promise, but it is no longer there, I assure you," he makes answer. They drift on to general topics, and then Demosthenes Tanner's voice is heard in the land, as he figuratively demolishes a clumsy waiter who has had the misfortune to step on his pet corn. Ho joins them and greets them with a warmth that proves his mind has undergone no change since they parted on the previous night. Turning his head right aud left he shows that it is still in a serviceable condition. "A little stiff in the neck, that's all, my boy. Wonderful stuff, haminamelis! Only for my having a bottle along I'd have been laid up for a week. Jove! Feel that muscle! Like steel! I say, this business of exploring the wilds is 110 child's play, after all. Is It?" He rattles on, drawing two cliairs np. placing his feet 011 one, and bringing Juto vlev an enormous cigar, which must imvr been made especially for a o_:i of his size. So Joe lias to describe how, on many t ? ~ T ^ ^ 1 EK JUL i E JRATHBORNE. 3EBT BOKNEB'8 SONS. an occasion, he and his men have been compelled to actually hew a way through a dense network of vines and fallen trees that covered the stream they were navigating. By degrees they get him to Khartoom, and as he had promised Tanner the story of that doomed city's fall he proceeds to give a graphic description of what took place, from the time of Gordon's arrival up to the ill-fated 26th of January, when the Christian hero fell, a martyr to political hesitation at home, betrayed by those in whom he trusted. Mynheer Joe would speak as little as possible of his own share in these tragic events, but they draw him out. and be is thus compelled to tell what happened. While Molly sits there, her lovely eyes glued on the face of the speaker, deep admiration and even growing love kindling her fine features, the baron glares at the group from the other end of the piazza. He realizes that the fates have dealt him a terrible blow, and that his case is indeed hopeless, unless fortune throws in his way a means of overturning circumstances. The baron chances to be one of those men who imagine that the battle Is won by the party who fights for victory; therefore he will not be apt to sit around with nis nanus id ms puckets. Already he has proven to what end he can be driven by necessity. None but a desperate fiend would ever think of getting a dangerous rival out of the way by such a plan as ruining his looks with acid. This same man Is fertile in resources and dangerous as a foe. Mynheer Joe may learn to his cost that he was really safer among the howling, maddened dervishes of the Mahdi than he is in Cairo to-day. When the spectacle grows too bitter for him to longer gaze up the baron walks away, muttering to himself. Mr. Grimes has from a place of concealment been watching this game, and chuckles when he notes the diplomat's discomfiture. Still keeping his eye upon him he sees the baron signal a French ex-army officer, who has some connection with the Khedive's palace, being in his employ. These two talk long and earnestly, during which the baron glances a number of times toward the trfo on the piazza, and even the Frenchman looks earnestly that way. "Some deviltry afoot," mutters Mr. Grimes. "I'd give a little to be able to hear what is said, but must find out the_ truth in another way." Watching the couple he finally sees them shake hands heartily; the French officer bows, places a hand on his heart, makes a gesture and walks away. Whatever has been the purport of their conversation the matter has undoubtedly been arranged. As the baron passes M/.\ Grimes the latter quietly follows him, making sure to attract no attention. In this way he sees the Russian diplomat finally enter a peculiar house, which has something of the appearance of a gymnasium. Loitering around Mr. Grimes discovers an English gentleman, whom he knows, about to enter. He stops him to ask a question and learns that the building Is an athletic ciuDroom. jais friend asks him to enter, which he willingly does, for this is exactly what he wants. A number of men are within. Some box, others leap and swing dumb-bells, while not a few use the foils. Mr. Grimes discovers the baron, dressed in a suit that is worn in the exercise, about to enter into an engagement with one of the professors. The sight somehow makes him jump at conclusions. Does the baron contemplate a duel? Since his villainous plan to destroy Joe's looks has failed, will he endeavor to put the dashing explorer out of the way by a recourse to arms and the code of honor? Mr. Grimes knows that this man ha9 been a principal in many duels?that he is an expert swordsman and a dead shot. His size, instead of being against him, really gives him an advantage. Hence Mynheer Joe's friend watcher, the work of the baron closely. Mr. Grimes is no swordsman himself, but he can tell good wrist-play, lunge and parry when he sees it. Uerore live minutes pass uy ne realizes that the baron is imuense. He plays with the professor as a cat might with a mouse, and whenever he feels in the humor dazzles the man's eyes with a flashing wall of steel, plucks his /oil out of his grasp by a wonderful wrench, and laughs in a cold-blooded, saruonic way that sets Grimes wild. Heaven help poor Mynheer Joe. he thinks, if he stands before this little giant with a sword in his hand! There is just about one chaDce in a dozen for him. He may outwit the baron in diplomacy, but cold steel held in the grasp of a wizard is a hard thing to beat. So Mr. Grimes watches and shudders, as in imagination he sees his friend occupying the place of the professor, Before now, under sueli circumst.ihces, the baron's cruel blndc would have passed through his body. Mr. Grimes studies his method, hoping to find a weak spot. As has al ready been said lie has consiuorauic knowledge of the science, and after a time jumps at a conclusion. "Heavens! This man, wonderful as be is. would stand a poor show against a left-handed swordsman! I have seen Joe do a number of things with hit left band. If he handles " sword ir that way?well, Mr. Baron, you maj be astonished?that's all." When the baron has enjoyed himsell to the full with the professor, who is but a plaything in his hands, he saun ters over to the shooting-gallery to trj his hand. One would think his nerve mighi not be as steady as could be desired after bis hot engagement with the foils, and Mr. Grimes feels an admiration for the man coupled with his aversion when he sees him send shot after shot with astonishing accuracy, the various swinging targets being struck almost with every discharge of the revolver. "A dangerous combination of a man to be at large, capable of doing a tremendous amount of mischief in the world, and the sooner he turns up his toes under the sod the better for humanity," is the mental comment of Mr. Grimes. He meets the baron at the bar of the gallery In a friendly spirit, and wishing to see more of his pistol practice soon banters him into a little wager. Mr. Grimes has always prided himself on his marksmanship, but he has a poor show beside this man of the quick eye and steady hand. His main object is to discover whether the baron has ' any weafc point about his marksmanship, so tha he can turn It to good account. Even in this a fair measure of success falls to his share, enough to pay him for his trouble. At fifteen and twentyfive paces the Russian duellist is almost a dead shot, but strange to suy the American beats him at twenty paces. It would be hard to understand just why this is so, and to make sure of it Mr. Grimes is not content with the one trial, but goes through it all again. The result is the same. That settles it. If there is to be an exchange of shots between the rivals it must be at twenty paces. He feels that he Is doing only what is right in learning these facts. Doubtless this man without a conscience has in times past spitted more than one unlucky devil on his sword, who proved to be a boor at the duello, and against whom he had a grudge. He deserves neither sympathy nor pity, and such a man asks nothing of the world. Perhaps the baron has already sized up the other, and remembers that he saw him with the man he plots to destroy. That does not appear to disturb him very much; indeed, he may even take a savage satisfaction in showing the American how he will make crow's meat of his friend when the time comes. Mr. Grimes has seen enough. At his first opportunity he must warn Joe, so that the other may not stumble into the pit which the baron would dig for him, at least without a knowledge of the consequences. After leaving the gymnasium where the stalwart British officers spend an hour or so every day he looks around for the exDlorer. but can see nothing of him. Molly and her distinguished father are also among the missing. Presently he runs across some one he knows. "Ah! there, Sandy, my boy, where away?" he calls out, whereat the bustling little correspondent brought in a heap consents to halt briefly. "Off to wire for a passage on the bimonthly steamer for India. Touches at Alexandria, you know, and then direct to Port Said for the Canal." "When is it due?" "Tlie Alhambra arrives on Saturday." "Secure passage for me, but hold on; perhaps you'd better wait and see. T .ir.rlm.i.tnn/1 Tdnnop OT1/1 }l5fi x uuucioiauu jl uuux,^ i4uu Uw?0 together with Mynheer Joe, are heading in that-direction. If we all go on one steamer it will make a jolly party." Sandy strikes an attitude. "Bless you, that's a fact I'll wait until we have a little consultation, and abide by the result By the way, the baron goes on her." "I supposed as much. How did you find that out, Sandy, my boy?" queries the other. "I heard him give orders this morning. Several parties accompany him." "Who took the order?" "The fellow looking like a Hindoo." Mr. Grimes smiles. "I wish you had noticed that fellow closely, Sandy," he remarks, quietly. "Well, now, that's just what I did. You see he had a lordly air yesterday, as though he owned the whole of Egypt, while this morning he limped painfully, had a bruise on his forehead, and his left arm was tied up in a great ball of cotton, while his face had a look as though intense pain and devilish fury were fighting for the mastery." At this Mr. Grimes no longer smiles. He chuckles. [To be Continued.] Annonnclng the Dts-Enjrajcement. A very late fad?mark that "the latest" is not used in connection with it, as that means something very different?is to announce In this way, by letter: "The many friends of Mr Jones and Miss Smith may be Interested to know that their engagement is off.

Objecting to the features of the clock face which we have bfcen consulting for centuries, a New England man is attempting to bring about a change by the introduction of a new Bystem which he thinks more suitable for twentieth century people. This foil i Jra HWiiB illl W raw CLOCK FACE IN A CHURCH STEEPLE man is Samuel P. Thrasher, who has developed a clock mechanism radically different from that in use at present. Mr. Thrasher makes several objections to the present type of timepiece, principal of which is the fact that there is ao embarrassment of ngures which are never necessary at one time for hour indication, and further, some of these figures are right side up and others are upside down, while Eome repose on their sides, and others j A NEW CLOCK PACE.? are placed at various angles. Mr. Thrasher's artistic sense is very much disturbed at this and he wants to change it and sell clocks of his own design. One of the greatest recommendations for his proposed innovation is that there are never any unnecessary figures displayed. There are never more than four usder any circumstances. These always indiI cate the time and there is no possibility of mistake, which he says often arises from persons taking a hasty glance at a round dial and thinking it is nineteen minutes past the hour when it is really twenty-four minutes after.

Some spent a rew monms v. tacked on the wall, until flyspecked and discolored; others were used as bookmarks until lop-eared; then all r were thrown away without having given an additional ray of sunshine to any one beyond the Immediate recip- t lent. E "Suppose you take the history of one tj pretty ten-cent card that came to me a year ago," said the President-General. "It had an exquisite little poem on it, and I enjoyed it so much that I thought at once of an old uncle who would appreciate it, dnd forwarded it to him. He, as I thought he would, did enjoy It, and so much that he immediately recalled another old friend to whom it would appeal with special force. So > he copied the poem and sent the card '* on. This recipient found the sentiment so sweet that she, too, felt called upon to pass it on, and before the seven days' holiday was over the card had carried its Christmas message to six different people." Inspired with this idea of sending out remembrances that might be mul tiplied fourfold, a new sec oi cuius | was given by the staff to the Presi- o dent-General, who immediately sent e them all out again. The thanks re- D ceived for those cards were so pretty s that an item was made of it in the s paper. This caused further corre- 1( spondence, and resulted in a club for S the exchange of friendly greetings. n This was formed in .February, 1S90. a The name "Chat" was at first chosen & for the column, but in time the mem- a bership grew so large that a club badge e and the motto "Good Cheer" were se- 0 lected, and the name "Shut-In" given a ti the society. 0 On January 15, 1896, the name of the x' Bociety was cuanged to the Sunshine v Society. s This change was made because of n conflict with a shut-in society organ- a ized iu 1884. Changing tLe word Shut- ^ In to Sunshine did not interfere with ? the club motto or pin. ri he object of the society is to incite Its members to the performance of kind and helpful deeds, and to thus bring the sunshine of happiness into the greatest possible number of hearts and homes. Its active membership consists of the people who are desirous of brightening life by some thought, word or deed. The club motto, "Good Cheer,*' was furnished by Mrs. W. H. Chase, of Lefferts place, Brooklyn. The floral emblem is the coreopsis, t] selected from thousands of sugges- a tious sent in by members. The flower f chosen was sent by Mrs. Richard Nor- <] ton, of Highstown, N. J.
