THE PRIESTESS OF AMEN RA By HERMAN KNICKERBOCKER VIELE (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) In the cold light from the tall studio window Frank Morewood's face seem ed almost haggard, and certainly the right hand which held the little square of photographic paper trembled per ceptibly. “Dunbarton,” he demanded, “is this some silly trick you have been play ing on me?” “A trick, indeed! You must think I have very little on my mind. You break in upon me like a wild man; you insist that I stop in my serious work to develop your w’retched little film; and now, by Jove, you're not sat isfied!” “Dunbarton.” Morewood calmly re plied, “you cannot realize what this may mean to me; the. thing is too strange, too weird. I mean to tell you presently of the most wonderful thing that ever happened in the world.” “Great Scott!” the artist groaned; “is it as bad as that? Begin your yarn, old fellow. I’m all attention.” “Dunbarton,” he remarked. “I don’t suppose you have ever so much as —r —r - —r - ’— \ / \: I . lOj'Kyiwl' 'UH W: It Was She and None Other. heard of the college of Amen Ra?” “Never in my life!” the other ad mitted frankly. “Where under the sun may be the college of Amen Ra?” “It used to be in Thebes about 1,600 years before Christ,” Morewood re plied. The story as I know it goes no farther back than the early sixties, when a party of five friends from Phil adelphia ascended the Nile as far as the first cataract. At Luxor they rest ed a week with a view to visiting the site of the great city of Thebes, and especially its marvelous and mystic temple of Amen Ra. Upon the night of their arrival a fete was given in their honor by the consul, Mustapha Aga. In«the middle of the festivities a strange nomad from the desert made his appearance unexpectedly. His er rand was to inform Mustapha of the discovery, near a certain oasis, of a mummy case of surpassing beauty which had once held the body of a high priestess of Amen Ra. Escorted by Mustapha Aga and his guard, they left the revels and followed the mys terious sheik out into the desert where lay the marvelous mummy case. You may believe the travelers were over joyed to be the first outsiders to whom the treasure had been shown and they lost no time in closing the bargain. To avoid contention, they drew lots among themselves for the privilege of becoming the owner of the mummy case, and, “at first,” pur sued Morewood, “good fortune seemed to favor the eldest of the party, who was designated to me simply as Mr. X, but he had a generous disposition and relinquished his rights in favor of the second highest number. Mr. P. forth with became the sole possessor of the coveted object. I need not now re count the circumstances which led in the course of a few r months to the transfer of the property to each in turn of the remaining members of the company, Mr. G. and Mr. Q. But here begins the mystery. Within the year, P. lost his life by the explosion of a fowling piece without visible cause; G. disapoared while bathing in the Nile in the vicinity of a crocodile pool, and Q. died of a snake bite. Mr. X. alone survived and arrived in Cairo broken in health, only to learn that the greater part of his fortune had been lost through the knavery of an agent. Truly, the priestess of Amen Ra had signified her displeasure in a most convincing manner.” “Who the deuce was she?” demand ed Dunbarton. “Why, the mummy, as I should have told you.” “But you didn’t,” remarked the painter. “And ~hy do you suppose she was displea al?” “Because,” the other replied, with conviction, “she had been accustomed in life to veneration, worship, love, and naturally she did not like to have her coffin knocked about from place to place.” “I see,” Dunbarton admitted gravely. “What became of the coffin?” "It had been shipped meanwhile to Germantow’ii as a gift to the aunt of the last ow T ner, a lady of so far un blemished reputation, w*ho almost im mediately acquired the cocaine habit.” “What? Cocaine in the sixties?” cried the painter, captiously. I - •' •- - - More wood admitted. “At all events she took something pernicious, lost everything she had, and finally sold the precious relic to a Mrs. Meiswinkle of Tuckahoe. From that day misfor tune following misfortune fell upon the family. In the end Mrs. Meiswin kle made a present of it to the city of New York.” “Noble woman!” cried the painter. “That simple act of patriotism may account for much!” “Frank,” said Dunbarton, “has this story of yours anything to do with your kodak film?” “Yes, everything. Listen. To-day I smuggled nrjr camera into the museum and stood before the mummy case un detected. But scarcely had I pressed the button when I svas arrested by an 1 official, who confiscated the machine and took it to the parcel room. I lost no time in finding the director, gave ! my name and yours for surety for my I respectability, and, after some delay I and red tape, got back my property.” “You were lucky,” the other com- * men ted, coolly. “Well? Is that the ■ end?” “No!” exclaimed Morewood. “While the casket was still in the possession of Mrs. Meiswinkle she had a photo graph taken of the lid, with every pos sible safeguard against deception or mistake. When the plate was devel oped it was not the painted features of the mummy case that looked from the negative, but —the face of a living woman! The face of the prtestess of Amen Ra, unchanged through 3,000 years, and alive!” “That must have jarred them!” Dun barton commented irreverently. “And mark me, George,” Morewood said, very gravely, “it was the same that I hold now in my hand. I tell you, man, that woman is alive to-day. Doi’t ask me to explain the unex plainable. I simply know that she lives.” “Old chap,” Dunbarton pronounced with conviction, “what you need is a good night’s rest.” But Morewood did not reply to this, for the gentle swaying of an East ern curtain just then caught his eye. Immediately it occurred again, and this time accompanied by the vision of i human hand, clearly in search of something on which to rap. “There’s someone there,” said the pairter. “Come in; please come in.” “I think the curtain must be caught,” replied a low, melodious voice without. Dunbarton seized the drapery and, with a single movement of his arm swept it aside. “Oh!” he cried, starting back, while Morewood clutched the table for support. Against the background of green velvet curtain with its embroidery of dull gold, there stood a lady all in poppy red, crowned with a headdress seemingly of the flow’ers themselves. Were they not bowing before the peerless priestess of the rites of Amen Ra? It was she and none other —the mistress of the mummy case, the mys tery of the kodak film; the lady of Thebes 3,000 years ago. Dunbarton was the fiist to recover power of speech. “Madam,” he said. “What is your will? You have but to command me.” “I am looking for a Mr. Dunbarton,” she explained. “I have the good fortune to bear that name,” he said. “Oh, I am so glad!” cried the lady. .“Then perhaps you can tell me where to find a Mr. Morewood?” “Your humble and devoted serv ant,” the other man pronounced him self. “Really?” asked the lady, her face radiant with pleasure. “How very for tunate! Do you know, Mr. Morewood that you have something of mine and I have something of yours? It was the stupid person in the parcel room of the museum. Of course two kodaks are exactly alike, if one of them hasn’t a name scratched on the bottom with a pin; so he gave you mine and me yours, and I should never have found out who you were if you hadn’t been arrested. Of course it wouldn’t have made very much difference, after all, if my cousin Jack hadn’t snapped me in a most ridiculous Egyptian fancy dress.” “Oh!” moaned the painter, “if I could only howl!” “Don’t mind him, please!” the other man pleaded. “You see, I, too, had used a film, and we were rather inter ested in seeing how it came out.” “Oh, but yours came out beautiful ly!” she reassured him. “My Cousin Jack developed it after lunch. That’s the way we discovered our mistake, and here it is. We made up our minds that you must be at least 75 years old to w r ant to photograph a hideous mummy case.” It was then that Dunbarton mas tered himself. There was an instant’s hesitation, then: “My friend, Mr. Morewood,” remarked the painter, “has just been telling me the strangest story in the world. Perhaps you can induce him to repeat it for you.” “Is your story romantic?” she ask ed. “Has it a heroine?” “Oh, yes, indeed,” he answered. “No less a personage than the priest ess of Amen Ra.” “I> there anything about photo graphs in it?” she demanded. “Yes,” he replied, “there is; a lot! I shall not inflict it on you now. But some day, when we know each other better.” “We start for Boston to-morrow morning early,” she interrupted. “We’re staying at the Waldorf.” “Then I shall return the camera this evening,” said Morewood. “If you do,” she said, “my cousin Jack will be very glad to talk photo graphs with you.” “How old is your cousin Jack?” iVlorewood demanded. “Twelve,” replied the lady, with just the shadow of a smile.
