Archie--I am glad to say--is now in a position to marry me in the spring.

I want you to be married about the same time, and then you can live in Gartley, and--" "No, my dear," said Mrs.Jasher firmly, "if I marry your father, he wishes us to go at once to Egypt in search of this tomb." "I know that he wants you to help with the money left to you by your late brother.

But surely you will not go up the Nile yourself ?" "No, certainly not," said the widow promptly.

"I shall remain in Cairo while the Professor goes on his excursion into Ethiopia.

I know that Cairo is a very charming place, and that I shall be able to enjoy myself there." "Then you have decided to forgive my father for his rash words ?" "I must," sighed Mrs.Jasher.
