Har-hat.’’
once again, and an ominous calm set-
tled over that little pocket of fertility
in the desert—Nehapehu.
Thus the court was torn with fac-
tions. Old internal dissensions made
themselves evident again, but the vast
murmur in Goshen was heard above
the strife.
All this had come to pass in the short
space of a month. When half of that
time had elapsed Hotep, fearing to de-
lay the petjtion of Kenkenes longer
lest conditions should become worse
rather than better, met the Pharaoh
in the hall one day and gave him the
writing. Earnestly the scribe impress-
ed Meneptah with the importance of
the petition and begged him to ac-
quaint himself in an hour of solitude
with its contents and the identity of
the supplicant.
Meneptah promised and continued to
his apartments. There Har-hat came
in a few moments, and Meneptah, alt-
er his custom, gave over to him the
state communications of the day and
after some little hesitation tossed the
petition of Kenkenes among them.
“Thou canst attend to'this matter as
well, good Har-hat. Why should I take
up the private concerns of my subjects
when I am already burdened with
heavy cares? But do thou look to
this petition faithfully. It may be
important, and I know not from whom
it is;' I promised Hotep it should be
given honest attention.”
For seven days thereafter every let-
ter sent by the king was written by
Hotep. At the end of that time he met
Meneptah again and, bending low be-
fore him, asked pardon for his insist-
ence and begged to know what disposi-
tion the son of Ptah had made of the
petition of his friend. He -was irrita-
bly informed that the matter had been
given over to the fan bearer for atten-
tion, since the Pharaoh had been too
oppressed with heavier matters to read
the letter.
In his sympathy for his friend’s
strait the-1 scribe gave over his objec-
tions to Rachel. Kenkenes had suf-
fered for her, and, if he would, he
should have her.
Between the king and persuasion was
Har-hat, vitally interested in the de-
feat of any movement toward the aid
of Kenkenes. The one hope for the
man hath a -vVoman’s intuition a god
hath spoken the truth to his heart. But
she is a' slave—an Israelite.”
“By the gods of my fathers, I ought
not to jparveli Nay, now, is that not
like the boy? An Israelite, and half
the noble maids of Memphis mad for
him!” ' 1
“He is not fdr thee and me to judge,
O Barneses/1’ Hotep interrupted. “The
godsftlew another breath in him than
animates our souls. For thee and me
such conduct would be the fancies of
madmen; for Kenkenes it is but living
up to the alien spirit with which the
gods endowed him. It seems that Har-
hat looked upon the girl and, taken by
her beauty, asked her at the Pharaoh’s
hands for his harem.”

sculptor was the winning over of the
Pharaoh, and only one could do it, and
that was Rameses, who was betrothed

will. r ■ i - ’■
Hotep, summoning his servant, had
his disordered hair dressed, freSh robes
brought for him and a glass of wine
for refreshment. On the way to the
palace top he met Ta-user, walking
slowly away from the staircase. Ram-
eses, solitary and luxurious, was
stretched upon a cushioned divan in
the shadow of a canopy over the hy-
postyle.
“The gods keep thee, son of the sun,”
Hotep said.
“So it is thou, Hotep.
am glad to see thee.”
“I come to thee with news and a pe-
tition,” Hotep began.
“Out with thy tidings.”
“Thou dost remember thy friend and
mine, that gentle genius, Kenkenes?”
“I am not like to forget him so long
as a bird sings or the Nile ripples make
music. Osiris pillow him most softly.”
“He is not dead, my prince.”
“Nay!” Rameses cried, sitting up.
“The knave should be bastinadoed for
the tears he wrung from us!”
“Thou wouldst deny my petition. 1
am come to implore thee to intercede
for him.”
Rameses bade him proceed.
“Thou art acquainted with the na-
ture of Kenkenes, O prince. He is a
visionary, an idealist, and so firmly
rooted are his beliefs that they are
to his life as natural as the color of
his eyes. He is a beauty worshiper.
-Athor possesses him utterly, and her
loveliness blinds him to all other
things, particularly to his own welfare
and safety.
“In the beginning he fell in love, and

Ordered Received to Effect That Colored
Regiments Have Been Filled.
Instructions have been received by Pri-
vate Montgomery, in charge of the local
branch of the United States recruiting
service, to accept no more negro candi-
dates for enlistment.
As a r.eqgon for this action it is stated
that the three or four negro regiments
are already full and that no more can be
used. The enlistment of negroes at Gal-
veston has been very great during the
t>ast month or two, there having been
some 50 to join the ranks of Uncle Sam’s
army here during the month of July.
The Tribune will give Ten Dollars to

knelt to him, and he flung Her off.
They were between me and mine
apartments, and I could not but know
of it. When he left her she made such
threats that it were treason for me to
give them voice again. What she ask-
ed of him I surmise. It could not
have been other than a prayer to him
to fulfill what was expected of him
concerning her. Thou knowest the
breach between the Pharaoh and his
brother, Amon-meses, is but feebly
bridged till Rameses shall heal the
wound in marriage -with Ta-user. His
failure, added to the vehement con-
tempt he displayed for her last night,
shall make that breach ten times as
deep and ever receding, so there can
be no healing of it.”
Har-hat flung his head back and
laughed heartily.
“Thou timid child, frightened with
the ravings of a discarded w’anton!
She and her following of churls can do
nothing against the son of Ptah. The
moles in the necropolis are richer than
they. None of loyal Egypt 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
thy 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 of
tliy 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 whom thou hast put
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 noble Hotep,” she begged.
—I—there is naught between us.”
“It is even as I had thought. I shall
telt 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 commanded,
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.
“Meneptah’s will is clay in my
hands,” he replied contemptuously.
“Vex me further and I shall tell 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 him 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’s!”
He strode out of her presence, and
when she was sure he was gone she
fell on her face and wept miserably.

CHAPTER XVII.
THE HEIR INTERVENES.
f . T Tanis the next day after the
I A I arrival of Meneptah there came
I I a messenger from Thebes to
I* ^1 Hotep, and the royal scribe re-
tired to his apartments to read the let-
ter.
And after be had read he was glad
that he had secluded himself, for his
demonstrations of relief at the news
the message imparted were most ex-
travagant and unrestrained. For the
moment he permitted no reminder of
Kenkenes’ present plight to subdue his
joy in the realization that his friend
was not dead.
Having exulted, he read the letter
again, and then he summoned all his
shrewdness to his aid.
He would wait till the confusion of
the court's settling itself had subsided
before he presented the petition to
Meneptah. Furthermore, he would re-
lieve his underlings and write the
king’s communications with his own
hand till ho knew that the reply to

“Oh, most ill timed, iron continence!”
she wailed under her breath. But the
change which had come over Ta-user
interested her immediately. Fascinat-
ed, she forgot to hide again, but the
light of the single lamp did not pene-
trate to her position.
The princess kept the posture of
abandoned humiliation into which Ram-
eses had flung her until the heir’s
footsteps died a-way up the corridor.
Then she raised herself and faced the
direction the prince had taken. Her
lithe body bent a little, her rigid arms
were thrust back of her and the hands
were clinched hard. Her head was
forced forward, the long neck curved
sinuously like a vulture’s. She began
to speak in a whisper that hissed as
though she breathed through her words.
Masanath felt her flesh crawl and her
soft hair take on life. Not all the
words of the sorceress were intelligible.
At first only her ejaculations were dis-
tinct.
“Puny knave!” Masanath heard.
“Well for thee I do not love thee, else
thou shouldst sleep this night in the
reeking cave of a parasite, with the
whine of feeding flies about thee for
dreams. Well for me that I do not
love thee, for thine instant death would
rob me of the long revenge that I
would liefer have! Share thy crown
with me! When Ta-user hath done with
thee thou shalt have no crown to share!
Turned from Siptah for thee! How
thou wilt marvel when thou learnest
that I never turned from Siptah nor
wooed thee with a single glance but for
Siptah’s sake. Go on! Sleep well!
Have no regrets, for thy doom was
spoken long before this night's haughty
work. Rather do I thank thee for thy
scorn. It robs me of qualms and adds
instead a dark delight in that which I
shall do!”
She turned toward Masanath, walk-
The fan bearer’s daugh-
with panic, fled, nor
paused until she had passed far be-
yond the chamber of Ta-user.
Cowering in a friendly niche, she
waited until the princess had disap-
peared, and then only after a long
time was she sufficiently reassured to
reach her own apartments.
It was the next day’s noon-before
Masanath saw her father. Then he
came with light step as she sat in her
room. Approaching from behind her,
he took her face between his hands
and, tilting it back, kissed her.

hast melted the iron prince.”
She rose and faced him. “Did Ram-
eses tell thee I loved him?” she de-
manded, a faint hope stirring in her
heart.
“Nay, far from it. He told me, and
laughed as he said it, that if thy soft
heart had any passion for him it was
hate.”
“Said he that? Nay, now, my fa-
ther, thou seest I cannot marry him.”
There was £eli§f in her voice, and she
drew near tofthe fan Leaver and invil-
ed his arms. He sat down instead and,
.drawing up a stool with his foot, bade
her sit at his feet.
“Listen! It is a whim of the Hathors
to conceal one’s own feelings from him
at times that he may accomplish bls
own undoing, being blind. Much is at
stake on thy love for the prince.
Awake, Masanath! Thou dost love
him; thou wilt wed him—and it shall
go well with—all others whom thou
lovest.”
“Wouldst use me for a price, my fa-
ther—wouldst barter thy daughter for
something?” she asked in a tone low
with apprehension.
“Ah, what inelegant word!” he chid.
“Thou dost miscall my purpose. Look,
my daughter. Have I not served thee
with hand and heart all thy life, ask-
ing nothing, sacrificing much? I, for
one, have a debt against thee, and
thou canst pay it in thy marriage to
Rameses.- Dost thou not love me
enough to make me secure with the
prince and so secure in mine adviser-
ship to the king?”
“Shall I hold thee in thy position at
the expense of Egypt’s peace if not at
the expense of the dynasty?” Masanath
cried.
“By the heaven bearing shoulders of
Bi>to,” he responded laughingly, “thou
dost put a high estimate on the results
of thine acts! Add thereto ‘if not at
the expense of the Pantheon’ and thou
shalt have all heaven and earth at thy
wsercy.”

But order and routine were not re-
stored in the palace of Meneptah. Tv-
unrest that precedes a "national crisis
had developed into irritability and pug-
nacity. i
Tanis was within bearing of the
plaints of Israel, and the atmosphere
quivered with omen and portent.
Moses appeared in this place and that,
each time nearer the temporary capital,
and wherever he came he left rejoicing
or shuddering behind him.
Meanwhile the fan bearer laughed
his way into the throne. Meneptah’s
weakness for him grew into stubborn
worship. The old and trusted minis-
ters of the monarch took offense and
sealed their lips; the new held their
peace for trepidation. The queen, here-
tofore meek and self effacing, laid
aside her spindle one day and, meeting
her lord "at the door of the council
chamber, protested in the name of his
dynasty and his realm.
But the king was beyond help, and
the queen, angry and hurt, bade him
keep Har-hat out of her sight and re-
turned to her women. Thereafter even
Meneptah saw her rarely.
The betrothal of Rameses to Har-
hat’s daughter gave further material
for contention. It seemed to indicate
that the fan bearer had builded for
himself for two reigns.
Hotep’s situation was most poignant-
ly unhappy. He was fixed under the
same roof with the man that had taken
his love by piracy. He must greet him
affably and reverently every day. He
must live in daily contemplation of
the time when he must meet Masa-
nath also as his sovereign—the wife of
the prince, whom”he must serve till
death. Hardest of all, he must wear-a
'serene countenance and cover his sor-
row most surely for his own sake and
for Masanath’s.
Ta-user still remained at court. Seti,
in a fume of boyish indignation at
Rameses, attended her like a shadow, ‘for I felt it, unreasoning, and when a
Among the courtiers there were others
who were not alive to the true nature
of the princess and who joined Seti
in his resentment against the heir.

malevolent, had left the court abrupt-

honorably?”
“It is not for me to divine,” Hotep
went on calmly. “The fan bearer-sent
his men to take her, but she fled from
them to Kenkenes, and he protected her
—hid her away—where none but Ken-
kenes and the maiden know. Har-hat
is most desirous of owning her, but
Kenkenes keeps his counsel. There-
fore Har-hat overtook him in Tape,
where he went to get a signet belong-
ing to his father, and imprisoned him
till what time he should divulge the
hiding place of the Israelite.”
“Hath he put him to torture yet?”
“Aye, from the beginning, though
not by the bastinado. He rends him
with suspense, but I have more to tell.
There was a signet, an all potent
signet, which belonged to the noble
Mentu”—
“Aye, I remember,” Rameses broke
in. “That should help the dreamer out
of his difficulty.”
“Aye, it should, my prince, but It did
not. Kenkenes sent It to the Pharaoh, item blanks printed In connection with
with a petition for his own freedom,
but the cares of state were so pressing
that the son of Ptah gave the letter,
unopened, to Har-hat for attention.”
Rameses laughed harshly.
“Kenkenes would better content him-
self. The Hathors are against him,”
he cried. “What more?”
“Is it not enough, O Rameses?” Ho-
tep answered sternly. “He hath suf-
fered sufficiently. Now is it time for
them who profess to love him to bestir
themselves in his behalf. Thou know-
est how near the fan bearer is to the
Pharaoh. Persuasion cannot reach the
king that worketh against Har-hat.
Thou alone art as potent with the son
of Ptah. Wilt thou not prove thy love
for Keiikenes and aid him?”
