Cozy ri Chi. 1904. by th< CHAPTER XVI. THE LOVE OF RAlfESES. |Y the 20th of May the court of Meneptah was ready to pro? ceed to Tanis. -The nest week the Pharaoh would depart. Tonight he received no? ble Memphis for a final revel.* His palace was aglow from its tre? mendous portals to the airy hypostyle tipon its roof and from far reaching wing to wing with countless colored Lights. From every architrave and cor? nice depended garlands and draperies, and tinted banners waved, unseen in the dark. The great loteform pillars supporting the porch were festooned with lotus Sowers, and the approaches .were strewn with palm leaves. When the portals opened a broad shaft of light shot into the night A multitude of attendants was seen bow? ing. Gusts of reedy music and bab? ble and the smell of wilting dowers and Puntish incense swept into the outer air. Within, the great feast began and proceeded to completeness. The ta? bles were removed and the stage of the revel was far . advanced. The levels of scented vapor from the aromatic , torches undulated midway between the ceiling and the floor and belted the j frescoes upon the paneled walls. Far j up the vaulted hali the Pharaoh and j his qneen. in royal Isolation, were j growing weary. The company, which was large, had fallen into easy attitudes, an exciting game of draughts or a story teller or a beauty attracting groups here and there over the hall Before one table whereon the scat? tered pawns of a game yet lay Barn? eses lounged in a deep chair, a semi reeumbent figure in marble and ob? sidian.. Beside him, where she had seated herself at his command, was ifasanaih. There was Seti at Ta-user"s side, but Io was not at the feast She mourned for xvenkenes. Ta-meri was there, the bride of a week to Nechutes, who hov? ered, about her without eye or ear for any other of the company. Siptah, Menes, Har-hat, all of the group save Hotep and Kenkenes, were present and .near enough to be of the crown prince"?? -party, yet scattered sufficiently to talk .among themselves. The game of draughts, prolonged from -"one to* many, had ended disastrously ? for the prince in spite of his most gat S iant efforts to win. Masanath, against * whom he had played, finally thrust the i pawns away and refused to play fur vther with him. S^Thor? dost make sport for the Ra? zors, ? prince,'" she said. "Have re? spect for thyself and indulge their ca? price no more/* "Hast thou not heard that we may compel the gods?" he asked. "Perhap.? I do but indulge them, of a truth. But let me set mine own will against fate and there shall be no more losing for me." "It is a precarious game. Perchance there is a3 strong a will as-*hine, com? pelling the Hathors contrarily to thin? ypra desires. What, then, 0 Barneses T "By the gambling god, Toth, I shall try "itr he exclaimed. 'The opportuni? ty is before me even now." He took her hand. **T catch thy meaning, beloved of Isis I Thou didst challenge me long ago, and long ago I took it up. Thus far have we fenced behind shields. Down with the bull hide, now, and bare the heartr "Thou dost forget thyself," she re? torted, wrenching her hand from him. "The eyes of thy guests are upon thee.** He laughed. "The prince's doings be? come the fashion. Let me be seen and there shall be no woman's hand un? possessed in this chamber." Thou shalt set no fashion by me. Neither shalt thou rend the Hathors between thy wishes and mine. Fur? thermore, if thou dost forget thy princely dignity, thy power will not prevent me if I would remind thee of thy lapse." Her reply seemed to awaken a train j>t thought In the prince. He did not respond immediately. He leaned his elbows on his knees and, clasping his "Thou dost- forget thyself. ' hands before him, thought awhile, in the si" nee the talk of th?. . ors was ?andu. "T^e - st'viii es of Memphis ! ?t wo .-.-ce tliey iost one," Men?.- : \ Lsed. "Give us thy meaning," Nechutes asked.

"Not even : tho body of his son returned to him for burial!" I Har-hat, who haJ been perched on the arni of Ta-meri's chair, broke in: "Mayhap the young man is not j dead," he surmised. ! "Ali the Memphian nome hath been ; searched, my lord," Menes protested. "Aye, but these flighty geniuses are I not to be measured by doings of otb er ? men. Perhaps he hath gone to teach : the singing girls at Abydos or Tape." j "Ah, my lord!" protested Ta-meri, i horrified. j Har-hat shrugged his shoulders and j I lapsed into silence. Barneses leaned j j toward Masanath again. The expres ! sion on his face during the talk and j the tone he chose now showed that he I had not heard nor was even conscious j of the silence that had fallen.v His words were low spokci, but each of his companions heard. "In warfare it is common for a foe to hedge his adversary about so that i ?ght he must. Thou art a woman and j cunning, and lest thou join thyself to another and elude me ere the battle is on I would better treat thee to a strategy. I shall wed thee first and woo thee afterward." Ta-user leaned across the table and. sweeping the pawns away with her ! arms, said, with a smile: ' "Quarreling over a game of draughts I .Which is in distress, in need of allies?" "Come thou and be my mercenary, Ta-user," Masanath said, with impul? sive gratitude. "Barneses hath lost and demands restitution beyond rea? son." Har-hat had risen the instant the words had passed the prince's lips and left the group. He did not wish to let his face be seen. A dash of dark color grew in the heir's pallid cheeks, partly because he knew he had been heard, partly because he was angry at the princess' interruption. At this point it was seen that the Pharaoh and his queen were preparing to leave the hall. All the company arose, and, after the royal pair had passed out, the guests began to depart Rameses left his party and, joining .Har-hat,.led the fan bearer away from the company. "It seems that thou, with others, heartiest my words with Masanath," the prince began at once. "It is well, for it ssves me further speech now. i v?.nt thy daughter as my queen." Har-hat seemed to ponder a little be? fore he answered. "Masanath does not love thee," he said at last. Rameses contemplated the fan bear? er narrowly for a moment "Come; then hast a game," he said finally. "Out with it! Name thy stake." "When thoo canst use me courteous , Rameses," he said, with dignity, "I shall talk with thee again. Mean? while do not build on wedding with Masanath. I shall mate her with him who hath respect for her father." "Out with itr he Insisted more calm? ly. "What is. lt-power, wealth or a wife? These three things I have to give thee. Take thy choice." "I would have thee use me respect? fully, reverently," Har-hat retorted warmly. "I would have thee speak favorably of me. I would have thee do me no Injustice by deed or word nor peril my standing with the king. This I demand of thee. I will not buy it" "I am to keep silence in the council chamber and resign to thee -the, mold? ing of my plastic fatter. It is well, for I am not pleased with ruling before I wear' the crown. But mark me! Thou shalt not advise me when I rule over Egypt What more?" "So thou observest these things I ara satisfied.'' "Gods, but thou art moderate! Ma? sanath is worth more than that. Do I take her?" "I shall speak with her." Har-hat re? sponded, "and give thee her word." For a moment the prince contemplat? ed the fan bearer, then he turned with? out a word and strode out of the cham? ber. In a corridor near his own apart? ments he overtook the daughter of Har hat Her woman was vith her. The prince stepped before them. The attendant crotched and fled somewhere out of sight Masanath drew herself to the fullest of her few inches and v>aited for Rameses to speak. "Come, Masanath," he said, thou canst reach the limit of thy power to be ungracious and but fix me the firmer in my love for thee. I am come to tell thee that I have won thee from thy fa? ther." . "Thou hast not won me from my? self," she replied, "Nay. but'l shall." "Thou dost overestimate thyself," she retorted. Catching up the fan and chaplet that her wc bad let fal!, made as thou :! ? . past him. But he put biriisei. ber way and, with shining eyes, ca;.,;, her lu lils arms. "Sooner would I sit upon the peak of a pyramid all my life than upon a throne with thee; sooner would I be crowned with fire than wear tho asp of a queen to thee. My father may wed me to thee, but I will :i<'vr love thee, nor say It nor pretend it Thou wilt not win a wife if th u dost take a queen by violence, Reh me!" "T?OU dost rivet mine arms aboir thee." She stiffened herseif and savagely submitted to her imprisonment. Rameses laughed and, bending her head back, kissed her repeatedly and with much tenderness. She struggled madly, but he held her fast. "There! Carry thy bate of me only to the edge of sleep and dream sweetly of me." He released her and continued down the hall. As he turned out of the smaller pas? sage into the larger corridor Ta-user stepped forth from the shadow of a pillar. The huge column dwarfed her into tininess. The hall was but dimly lighted by a single lamp and that flar? ed above her head. Rameses paused, for she stood in his path. "Not yet gone to thy rest?" he asked. "Restl" she said scornfully. "Gone to a night long frenzy of relentless consciousness-weary tossing, wasted Kprayers. I have not rested since I left the Hakheb." Her voice sounded hollow in tbs great empty hall. "So? Thou art ready for the care of the physicians by this. then. O my sis? ter." "I am not thy sister." "What? Hast quarreled with the gentle Seri?" "Rameses, do not mock me. Set: does not even stir my pulses. He could not rob me of my pence." "What temperate love! Min.? makes my temples crack and fill? mine hours with sweet distress." Ta-user looked at him for a moment, then, raising her hands, caught the folds of his robe over bis breast. "Rameses. how far wilt thou go in this trifling with the Lady Masanath?" "To the marrying priests." Without looking at her he loosed her hands, swung them idly and let them go. "Stay. Rameses." she urged, catch? ing at his robes once more. "I would have thee know something. But am ? to tell thee in words what I would have thee know? Surely I have n >t let slip a single chance to show theo She dropped before him. by token. Art thou stubborn or blind that thou dost not pity me and spare me the avowal ?" Rameses looked down at ber upturn? ed face without a softening line on his pallid countenace. "Ta-user," he said deliberately, "had I been mummied and entombed I should have known thine intent. I marvel that thou couldst think I had not seen. Now, hast thou not guessed my mind by this? Have I not been sufficiently explicit? Must I, too, lay bare my heart in words?" She did not speak for a moment; then she said eagerly: "Let not thy Jealousy trouble thee concerning Seti-he is naught to me I love him not-a boy, no more." "Seti!" he exclaimed contemptuous? ly. "I have no feeling against Seti save for his unfealty to Io, the little child who loves him, whose heart thou hast most deliberately broken." "Not so," she declared vehemently. "I cannot help the boy's attachment to me. She is a child, as thou hast said, and is easily comforted. Not so with maturer hearts like mine." She put her arms about his neck and, flinging her "head "back, gazed at ni m with a heavy eye. She was not dealing with Seti or Siptah. or any other whom she had be? witched. There was no spell in the topaz eyes for Rameses. If her sor? cery affected him at all it won no more than a cursory interest in her next move. '.The night is too short to recount my reasons," he replied calmly as be put her arms away. "But I might point out the snarling cur Siptah for one and a few other comely lords of Egypt." "What hast thou done in thy life?'.' she cried. "I am no more wicked than i thou. Thou hast found delight in otb : ers beside whom I am all innocence." She dropped before bim. her white j robes cumbering his path, her arms j clasping his knees. "What more have I to do of which to j accuse myself, 0 Rameses? Egypt ' knows why I came to court. Egypt ! will know why I shall leave it. What j have I not offered, and what hast thou j given me? Where shall I find that ref ! uge from the pitying smile of the na? tion? Spare my womanhood" "Ah. fie upon thy pretense, Ta-user! Art thou not shrewd enough to know ! how well I understand thee? Thou . dost not love me. No woman who ; loves pleads beyond the first rebuff. I*?ve ls full of dudgeon. Thou dost I betray thyself in thy very insistence. \ Thou beggest for the crown I shall ! wenr. and if I were overthrown to ; morrow thou wouldst kneel likewise to mine enemy. Thou hast no worn ' anhood to lose in Egypt's sight. As : thy caprice turnet": from Siptah to me j l^t it return to Siy?t:ih once again.

The prince stood under the s lamp in the great corridor betweei and the refuge of her chamber, other was close to him. her hands ' his shoulders. Masanath retired into the dusk waited. When she looked again hands were clasped about the pru neck. Back into the shadows shrank, pressing her tiny palms gether in a wild prayer for Ta-u triumph.

She toned toward Masanath, wal Lng swiftly. The fan bearer's daug ter, stricken with panic, fled, n paused until she had passed far b youd the chamber of Ta-user. Cowering lu a friendly niche, si waited until the princess had disa peared, and then only after a loi time was- she sufficiently reassured i reach her own apartments. It was the next day's noon befoj Masanath saw her f?ther. Then ? came with light step as she sat In hi room. Approaching from behind he he took her face between his haue and, tilting lt back, kissed her. "I give thee joy, Masanath. Tho hast melted the iron prince." She rose and faced him. "Did Ban eses teil tl *e I loved him?" she d< manded, a faint hope stirring in he heart "Nay, far from LL He told me, an laughed as he said lt, that if thy soi heart had any passion for him it wa hate." "Said he that? Nay, now, my f? ther, thou seest I cannot marry him. There was relief in her voice, and sh drew near to the fan bearer and invil ed his arms.

"Ah, what inelegant word!" he chid "Thou dost miscall my purpose. Look, my daughter. Have I not served th? with hand and heart all thy life, ask? ing nothing, sacrificing much?

"Thou timid child. frightened with the ravings of a discarded wanton! She and her following of churls can do nothing against the son of Ptah. The moles in th?- necropolis are richer than they. None of loyal Egynt will es? pouse their cause, and without money how shall they get them mercenaries? Nay, why vex thee with matters of state? All that is required of thee is tay heart for Rameses, no more.'* "Judge not for Rameses, I pray thee.'" she insisted, coming near him. "Knowing that I love him not, per? chance he might be gentler with Ta user, did he see his peril." Again Har-hat laughed. "I am not blind, O little reluctant," he said. "I know the secret spring cf thy concern for Egypt-for Ta-user for Rameses. I have not told thee all the stake upon thy love for the prince. Does it not seem that since a maiden will not love one winsome man there must be another already installed in her heart? But have a care lest it bring disaster upon him whomThouTiast pul in jeopardy of the fierce power of the prince." Masanath's eyes widened with terror. The fan bearer continued, "I have but to mention the name of Hotep" She clutched at her heart. "Nay, bring no disaster on the head of the nobie Hotep," she begged. -He -I-there is naught between us." "It is even as I had thought. I sha il teil Rameses and send him to thee," he said, moving away. With a bound she-was between him and the door. "If he ask. tell him there is naught between me and the royal scribe, but send him not hither," she comrhanded, with vehemence. "If thou art rebellious, Masanath, I must chasten thee." "Hast won the sanction of the Pha? raoh for this betrothal?" she de? manded. "JUeneptab's will is clay in my hands." he replied contemptuously. "Vex me further and I shall teil him that" . The pair gazed at each other, breath? less with temper. -Wilt thou wed Rameses?" he de? manded. "So thou wilt avoid the name of Hotep in the presence of Rameses and wilt shield nim as if his safety were to bring thee gain," she replied, thrust? ing skillfully. "I will wed the prince in one year. Furthermore, in that time I shall be free to go where and when I please, to dwell where I please and to be vexed with the sight of thee or that royal monster no more than is my desire. Say, wilt thou accept?" "Have it thy way, then, vixen," he exclaimed, "but remember I hold a heavy hand above thy head and Ho tep'sr He strode out of her presence, and when she was sure he was gone she fell on ber face and wept miserably.

Every Man His Own Doctor. ?The average man cannot afford to. employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to ne? glect them, as so slight an injury as the scratch of a pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hence every man must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailments. Succ-ss often depends upon prompt treatment, which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand.
