Bat we may not know what the youth thought when he found that there were few m all Egypt like this princely stranger. After those writings came, with all tdellty, to the hands of those wbo loved him in Kgypt silence fell between mean and Kenkenes, Meneptah erected no moro monu? ments after the eighth yesr of his reign, for In that year Meutu, the murket, died.

It was the saw graceful art In the life of the feeble hing, the one resolution to which he held most tenaciously. fhoogh Mentu* union with Send was short. It waa most bappy save perhaps for the absence of Kenkenes, but after the letter cstne from the well beloved sou there war more cheer In the beert of the father. Kenkenes was not dead, only absent, as be would have been bad he lived In Tan is or Thebes. Furthermore, the young man had spnkeu glowingly snd at length on the future of Israel and the Promised Land, and Mentu told himself that be lalght visit Kenkenee one day in that new country. Bln. w there wet' no children In their aooss. hem > ami the murket spoiled Aaubts. and in the eyes of bis devoted master the ape had earned his soft life. Shortly after the departure of Keuke ase Mentu discovered the ai?c burying something iu the sand of the court? yard (lower beds. In spite of the fa? vorite's vigorous protests Mentu over? turned the tiny besp of earth and dls ' covervd therein the Isple Issull eignet.

Of the love of Hotep and Maeanath something yet remains to be told. Tt was common to eiamlne the ajitgsj family of a traitor gg to their complic? ity lp bis misdeeds, and the option lay with the Pharooh whether or not they ?smwtrt fcf?r ***** ^* Ms prriif^hri*?nt Hirh** a .s dead, Urn r.?.?!>? destroyed -a A Romance of the Diys When the Lord Redeemed the Children of Israel From the Bondage of Egypt Elizabeth Miller 1-*> r Bobbft-Mcnrlll Company At hie hands. \Vhen the news 6T the disaster reached Tunis Meneptah's an? ger and grief knew no bounds. After ltameees had been Interred at Thebee beside bis fsthers and the court bad returned to Mempbls the king summoned Masanath, the sole repre? sentative of the family of Har-hat, to give reason why she should not be ac? cused of complicity In the treason of her father. Meneptah had taken counsel with none on this step. Perhaps he had an Inkling that it would be unpopular; perhaps be thought be was but fulfill? ing the law. Hotep was at On com? forting his family, who mourned over Bettle, and most of the other ministers were scattered over Egypt lamenting their own dead, and few expected the ungallant act of the king. But one day when all the court had reassembled Masanath came Into the great council chamber. Alone and dressed in mourning, she seemed so little and defenseless that Meneptah stirred uncomfortably In his throne. Slowly she approached the dala and fell on her knees before the king. The great gathering of courtiers held Its breath, wondering and pitying. Buch wma the scene upon which Ho tep came all unknowing. At a glance be understood the situation. It was too much for bis well bridled spirit With a cry full of horror, indignation and compassion be dropped his writ? ing case and scroll and, rushing for? ward, flung himself on bis knees be? side her, one arm about her. the other extended in supplication to the Pha? raoh. Meneptah, who from the moment of Maaanath'a entrance Into the council chamber had begun to repent his ill advised act, was glad to be won over. At the end of Hotsp's impassioned story be came down from the data and, raising Masanath, kissed bar and put her into the young man's anna. Sup piemen ting his pardon with command be oedered his scribe to marry the sat tittle orphan at once and take her away from the scene of her sorrow* Uli Isla restored her in spirits again. Ftunj himaclf on hi* knees beside her. After some months spent ou the coast Masanath grew stronger and be? gan to live with much'appreciation of the Joys of existence. Ou their return to Memphis Hotep was mini" fan bear? er In Har-bat's place, ami for the re? maining fourteen years of Meneptah's relgu practically ruled over Egypt. Vastly different, however, was his favoritism from the favoritism of Har hat. During the wise administration of the young adviser Egypt recovered something of her former glory lost in the dreadful plague ridden days pre? ceding the exodus. The army was re? organized first, tor Ta-user's party be gun to make demonstrations the hour that the news of the Red sea disaster reached the Hak beb. All public build? ing and national extravagance were bulted, and the surplus treasure was expeuded in restockiug the fields and granaries and restoring commerce. So the lund recovered from the plague*, but It* ruler never. The death of Hume**** lay like I bea\y aln und torturlug remorse on hi* conscience. He wept till the feeble eyes lost their sight, but not their susceptibility to tears. At last, succumbing to melan? cholia, he becuuie a child, for whom Hotop reigned and for whom the Qtstug cured with touching devotion. UM story of Setl Is history. It is uccdloss to say that bis rough usuge at the hands of Ta-us-t uwiikencd blm, but It was long before be found cour? age to return to lo, the sweetheart of hi* childhood. Yet when be did. after the u inner of l.er kind, she wept over blm and took him buck without u word of reproach. So the fair faced sister of Hotep came to be queen over Egypt and took another title with Neferarl as prefix, and the quaint Danuld nume lo wsm lost to all lips but Seti's and Hotep's. After PW'tl came to the thron?- Lc con? tinued Hotep In the udvlscrshlp and prepared to rehm happily. But In a little time tbe Thebald. long disaffect? ed, seceded from tho federation of Egypt and crowned Amon-meses king of Thebes. Setl gathered his army, marched against the rebellious district, put Amon-meses to the sword and re? duced the Thebald to submission. Then he returned to Memphis for an other spucc of pros|>erlty. At the end of a year Tu-user aud Sip , tali, sfter much browbeating of the j Hak-hcb, raited funds sufficient to pur 1 chase mercenaries. Then, with Ta-user at the head in barbaric splendor, they ' descended on Memphis. The course Betl puraued lias puzzled I historians. He gathered up his family, his court, his treasure, and without so much as lifting a spear fled Into Ethio? pia. After some t ine Ta user sent to him and conferred upon him the title of the prince of Cush. But fifty years after, Setl's son, the formidable Sct-Nekt. returned Into Egypt and restored the Ramesklehouse on a basis to solid that another glo? rious dynasty arose thereon, second only in brilliance to that which had gone out in the anarchy of Slptuh and Ta-user's reign. This done, be wreaked personal vengeance upou the usurpers of his father's throne. He broke open the tomb of Slptuh and Ta user, threw out their bodies to the Jackals, oblit? erated the Inscriptions, enlarged the crypt, put his own and his father's his? tory on the walls and used it for his mausoleum when he died. Kenkenes was a proselyte who had found his God for himself. He believed as be drew his breath and as bis heart beat, involuntarily and without any lapse. Never cduld a son of Israel have surrendered himself more eagerly to the luw. Its good and its purposes were ever before his eyes, and his foot? steps led In the paths that It lighted. Though he saw not the Lord In a burn lug bush nor talked with him on Sinai, he fouud him on the lonely uplands of the sheep ranges and beard him in the voiceless night on the limitless desert. Tbe young Egyptian was not yet twenty years old at the time of the numbering before Sinai, and he entered the Promised Land with Joshua aud Caleb, for verily he walked with Qod all the days of his life.

Sept. 3.?charts re? ceived at the isthmian canal offices here showing the details of the plans for the re-location of the Panama railroad Indicate that it is proposed to practically construct a new rail? road, for so much work is involved that It amounts to reconstruction of the whole work .This task, which was re? garded as one of the wonders of engi? neering when the railroad was built a half-century ago, is now. however, thanks to the rapid development of engineering methods, hut an incident to the reconstruction of the canal It? self and will be carried out in the course of a few months. The necessity for the re-locatlon was found in the fact that under the accepted plans for the route of the canal the present railroad would cross the waterway half a dozen times, Which would make necessary the con? struction of that number of deep tun? nels under the canal or the erection of a corresponding number of bridges that are high enough to carry the trains over the topmasts of the big? gest ships that will use the link. At present the railroad is in many places removed to a considerable dis? tance from the line of the canal, but under the plans for the re-location the road will run almost along the banks, being carried along a ledge In the famous Culebra cut, and so will afford an exhibition of charming scenery all of the distance.

McCulloch, of Chicage, on taking up her new office of justice of the peace, told a Chicago reporter that in the performance of marriage ceremonies she pjroposed to omit the word "obey." "in these enlightened days," said Mrs. McCulloch, "the word ?obey' has lost its meaning in the mar? riage contract. The best wife does not propose to 'obey' her husband any more than the best husband proposes to 'obey' his wife. Obedience is for dogs, horses?creatures without rea? son. So I think we should drop this meaningless word?as meaningless as a certain other word was to a certain boorish husband. The husband had been particularly nasty one rainy Sun? day at home, and his wife finally be? gan to cry. 'Eight years ago/ she sobbed, 'you swore eternal love, and now?' 'Oh,' growled the man, 'how long do you expect eternal love to last, any way?' " MORE OIL FROM COTTON SEED. New Method of Extraction Will In? crease Yield. Columbia, Sept. 6.?The rapid prog? ress made by cotton seed oil In es? tablishing itself in the markets of the world as a food product has removed from the market a great volume of this oil that was heretofore used for soap on account of its low price. Con? siderable more oil could be extracted from the seed if a suitable solvent were used to remove the last traces of oil which are now left in the cot? ton seed meal and which it is impos? sible to remove by the methods adopt? ed for the manufacture of an edible oil. A recent discovery has been made by chemists which will do away with carbon bisulphide for extracting the oil from the meal. The bisulphide renders the oil unfit for edible use and is extremely combustible. For this reason only one or two such plants have been established. The new process contemplates the use of carbon tetrachloride, which is a bet? ter solvent and is non-inflammable. If all of the cotton seed meal were treated with this solvent'it would In? crease the yield of cotton seed oil about 15 r*er cent, and not affect the value of the meal as food for cattle. The advance made by the oil mills in ec momic manufature has been very great in the past AVa years, but it is something a'ong this line that is needed to bring about the maximum production of oil from these seed. It has not yet been demonstrated wheth? er the oil extracted - by tetrachloride will be suitable for edible purposes, but this oil would at least be used by the soap makers to take the place of the better grades of oil which they have been using in the past. Cotton seed oil is now recognized the world over as one of the staple oils for human consumption and the world took during the past season ev? ery gallon of oil that was manufac? tured and there is now no stock of oil with which to supply immediate demands, the result being high prices for oil for September delivery.?News nd Courier.
