Augustus Waiters, In Frank Leslie's Pop ular Monthly. ICopyright, 1S37.1 & i T WAS an ill-chosen night for such an experiment; I had forgotten that was Halloween. Ttut It is easy to forget European llidays in Culro. They seem quite out I place In the land of the Pharaohs id the city of the Arabian Nights a leer anachronism. Yet I subsequent-. had reason to conclude that the itchery of Halloween loses none of its t otency there. Why should it in the Lane of mogio and the haunt of mum r'as? . 1 had ridden my bicycle far up the JBK1. IntI fcly j(I si iskl. Iticycles are no longer a novel- the Egyptian metropolis, but they invade the native quarter; and slowly .pedaled through the tur ned throng I found that I attracted Biderable attention. A vociferous , meddlesome mob pushed after roe; Sice I was forced to dismount by don Qr boys who thrust their superfluous mals across my track, and once I iost fell under the feet of a bng- iga camel whose bulging paok swept narrow way. At last, vexed and t and thirsty, I stopped at a small Ife. The place was brilliantly lighted and Dwded with Arabs. At one end, on n Ised platform, sat a story teller, ranging on a sort of one-stringed litar and reciting, I suppose, Bomu jbdern variant of the Thousand nnd jje Tales. Soon a waiter approached. ' endeavored to order a sherbet, but juld not make myself understood; at Bgtli, however, he set before me a Jneglass brimming with some trans ient liquid. I sipped at it gingerly; ft taste was sweetish and spicy. I is in the experimental mood; and as vegan by saying, I had quite forgot h that it was Halloween. "It's harm is. anyhow," I thought "nere goes!" d I drank it down. . I have no memory of remounting my peel, but I presently found myself pon it. The streets were empty now ingularly empty and I flew on with stio touch and effortless speed down erminnble lanes of darkness. I had rted homeward, but already 1 was t in a gloomy labyrinth of unknown leys. I was becoming alarmed but pined tumble to abate my speed. At length I issued from the city and kt out under the open sky. Stars Immered above me; they glinted in je black Nile as I sped across the long Hdge; the pyramids loomed In shadow bond. And now I was whirling along the jge of the fringe of desert wbicli rywhere skirts the valley beneath cliffs. I noticed with uneasy curl- ty that the sand seemed unaccount- y disturbed in many places. Just 'ore me I discerned something strug- Ing tip out of the ground. As I passed stood erect. It was a mummy. I fled on In choking horror. Hut the kin was full of black figures; they rreexhuming themselves everywhere. the dim light I could see them strip- big off their balsamed bandages; I felt lat they were gathering in hosts be- iid me. I flunnr all mv Btrenirth unon pedals and cut the wind liko a lie, ball. iKuddenly I saw in front of mo nn ky opening. I knew at once that it fis the mouth of a tomb Egypt is full these rock-hewn tuunels but ictlier I fled Into it from mero excess terror, or wns swept down its throat r the mysterious force that appeared animate my wheel, I cannot pretend aay. I only know that in an instant y and plain nnd dusky ghosts hnd nlshed, and I was darting down n cp Incline through cavern darkness, knew that in a moment I should ach the end a dead wall of solid Jck. My machine wna brnkeless: mv t were powerless on tho pedals. It nie a terrlflo shook, a concussion t seemed annihilation; and wheel nder lay together in mingled ruin. Mcr an Interval occupied with little Ibttble sensations, I roso to my foet, 71 amn?sl . ,,u..l im,ii r ji thought that I was dvlnov I noted fi . With some surnrlse. thnt thfl nlitoa V I to 01 .r d-rk thi:c!i thu lh'M j I i i (ru dim and fray, Ilk that which fil lers through a thick mist. Perhaps it was only that my eyes had frown ac customed to the gloom. ' I picked op my wheel from the tangle of debris at my feet. It, too, was un-! injured. I sprang to the caddie; never had my pet machine seemed so light and responsive. I started onward not homeward. Why? I cannot tell you. I was still dazed by the crash; my ae-' tions were merely automatic. I passed, over the dusky, huddled mass at the! end of the passage; it offered no resist-! once. I rode on through the solid rock of the terminal wall with no more ob-' struction than when a sunbeam passes through a plnte of gluss. And then at last I understood. It was not that the rock had lost its hard ness! it was I that had no sub-; stance. I was now as immaterial as, the all-pervasive ether. I need no longer fear the flitting ghosts for what wnsI? On through the stony bowels of the earth I ilew onward and downward. I ' could see about me only to a little distance, us when one moves through a heavy fog; but I could perceive the ir regular structure of the rock ns readily n one detects the flaws In n piece of cloudy amber. Yet 1 pierced it like a vi'por; to mo it was less than nir for I felt not a breath upon my face. At length I had passed far below all the strata known to the geologist, deep I into the region of igneous rock; which ' I- had noted, but with strange lack of interest, was seamed with jagged, gleaming veins of every metal, and cracked with many n sparkling gem encrusted fissure. Then nil this pon derous substance seemed to melt away, nnd a broad, cavernous plain opened before me. Its roof was lost In gloom and distance; its floor was ashen; in all its vast expanse there was no trace of color. Then I cried out but my voice wns ns soundless as a thought "It is Amenthes. The ancient tale is trues There is, indeed, nn underworld of ghosts, and the men of old were not deluded. I, too, shall stand in presence of Osiris." Now a strong wind had Brlsen or what seemed n wind which swept me forward with incredible swiftness. Yet fl.V THIS THOU SHALT I was conscious of something speed ing at iny side; I could not escape it. Soon I wna able to perceive it plainly, in black outline. Its form was vague ly human, though of more than human stature; but the eyes shone redly; the nose wu8 long and sharp; the head was the head of a jacknl or a fiend. I knew the monstrouB form at onee, for it is pniuted on the walls of every tomb in Egypt. "It is Anubis." I cried "Anubis, conductor of the dead." Auubis gave a little yelp of assent. It was the first sound I had heard In Amenthes. Something about this weird creature seemed strangely familiar, and not unfrieudly. I was not afraid. "O, Ajuibis," I entreated him and now my voice seemed to break its fet ters nnd Issue In articulate sound "if indeed you are Anubis, wither do you lend me? Is it in truth to the judgment hall o( Osiris?" And again the monster yelped assent. "Iiut this place is strange and full of terrors," I cried, "aud I nra so newly dead! 0, Anubis, be my guide and helper." To this there wna no reply. And even n I spoke a long, black, sinuous line appeared In the distance. Soon we were close upon it, and I recognized the undulating coils of the huge ser pent which bars the path of every soul as it seeks to cross this dreary Inter, space. The frightful shadow raised its head; midnight darkness seemed to drip from his open jaws; but Anubis smote It with the mysterious emblroi which ho bore in his hand, nnd the foul monster sank down as it dead. We passed in safety. And now an angry glow lighted the wild scene before us. A wall of bloo.l red flt'Q raged right across our truck, tossing its roaring flame Jests high In the darkness. A single gap appeared so narrow that the fierce eondsgrat Inn closed above It like a gothloareh, "Now K-rtnt for It," growled Amihls, fiut tiais, uud tu strangely modern phrase. "Mowacofb or scorch forever." t The fiery furiace of the Habylcfui king was but a spark to this. Yettii. was no evasion. I bent to my iCk ray phantom wheel responded wii ai arrowy rush; and before the sefin; heat could lay bold upon me the Bnn roofed avenue was parsed.- "Well done." barked Anubis. clfcr l my side. Aud bow we rolled through tlii tals of a mighty temple. Its pyions were lifted up like iitou under the skyless gloom; no mic mendous masonry was ever rental at Ivarnak or Memphis. Then came dernrss of painted columns enc like n etts.lc tower and amid iiimi uiiiui inciii faces veiliil iu :iat hung lilst a paces. Thejwuy colossal figures, with faces the sombre shades th;i canopy In the upper sp; seemed like th dim, unending nvenies of a dream, that still had on nn.l ire still the same; but aetigtfi. I was in the midst of a vast chamber; t opeied timid the maze of columtis like a foi st glade. The light that illumined it was ruddy ns the morning sky, itit whence it was reflex-ted I could tot distinguish; there was neither loop nor torch. The whole place wnsvibrtnt with a ravishing but soul-quelling vnU opt a wailing echo of far-off agoty. loudr tlian a whisper. The hil seemed emptv. but ns I elided slowlv forward it was suddenly full of flgurts, gigantic, monstrous, towering oaevtrv side. It was In verity tho jndgounl hall of Deuth. , Far before me sat Osiris, enthroned more huge than rocky Memnon, with scourge and scepter. Heside him quiv ered the dread scales In which ire weighed the souls of men. Ills lojk was not unkindly, yet my heart quaked beneath It. Then out of the whispering, monnhg melody there rose a clung of nccushg voices, naming my every fault, both deed and thought, forgotten or remem bered. 1 burned with shame, for I knew thnt all was true. And the face of Osiris grew stern ns 1 made no an swer, but Mill his look was full of pity ing kindness. Then came a voice that was like the hiss of an angry serpent. "He is false." it cried, "false to his plighted love." NOT JUUQK ME." And the brow of Ovirts darkened in wrath; the light of pardon faded from his awful eyes; his scourge was lifted. I had sunk upon my knees In my deep humiliation, but now, with su preme effort, I sprang up arjd strode toward the throne. "The charge is false," Ierjed. "Never was I untrue to Her. And 'she her self. Osiris, shall be tny judge; In this thou shalt nut judge me." As I spoke these words the festure-i of Osiris softened. They slowly melted into a dream of beauty and sweetness, ft was no longer Osiris; it was the face of my beloved. She was bending over me with tearful eyes. "My darling," she whispered, "how could you be so reckless. You shnll never taste any of their dreadful drugs again. We never should have found you if It hadu't been for Ctvrlo. The stuff had made you crazy, and you rode down an alley straight ngaint a wall. I think I should have died if you hnd raved so strangely any longer. You didn't know me, door not even me until at last I cried out that you didn't truly love me, ror you lay staring In my face as if I were a fiend, and it seemed as if my heart would break. l!ut you clo love me, dear." And she stooped again and kissed my lips. A Fktiomrisl TLake.

To Dry Children's trm. When the little ones have finished their play, they should be taught to remove their shoes and stockings and put ou dry ones.

As soon ns the shoes aro taken off they should be filled to the very tops with dry oats.

These arc nuin berwil and hung up on n nnil in the en try way, whore the little ones keep their wrappings.
