And as be watched, the white shape glided into the space of moonlight, and he saw that it was tbe form of a woman draped in wbite, and that about her shone a gleaming girdle, and in the gir dle gems which sparkled like the eyes of a snake. Tall was the shape and lovely as a statne of Aphrodit ; bnt who or what it was he might not tell, for the head was bent and the face hidden. Awhile the shape stood thus, and as it stoed, the W tnderer, drawn by wonder, passed toward it till he also stood in the pool of moonlight that shimmered on bis golden mail. Then suddenly the shape lifted II8 face so that tbo light fi 11 full on it, and stretched ont its arms toward hiui, and lot the face was the face of Arglve Helea—of her whom he went forth to seek. He looked upon its beauty, be looked upon the eyes of blue, upon the golden hair, upon the shining arm*; then slowly, very Blotvly, and in silence—for he coaid find no wo. di—the Wanderer drew near. She did not move nor speak. So still she stood that scarce she seemed to breathe. Only the shining eyes of her snake girdle glittered like living things. Again he stopped fearfully, for he held that this wus surely a mocking ghost which stood before him, but still sue neither moved nor spoke. Then at length he found his tongue and Bpoke: “Lady,” he whispered, “is it indeed thou—is it Argive Helen whom 1 look upon, or Is it, perchance, a ghost sent by Queen Persephone from tbe House of Hades to make a mock of me?” Now the voice of Helen answered him in sweet tones and low: “D;d I not tell thee, Olysseus of Ith aca, did 1 not tell thee yesterday, in the t ails of Hathor, after thou hadst over come the ghosts, tbat tonight we should be wedT Wherefore, tieu, dost, thou deem me of ti e number of tbe bodiless?” Tne Wanderer hearkened.

Now a ereat fear cum upon the old: men, for he knew that he looked ores the strange and deadly Hath >r. .rsa*. chance be, too, would perish like the re«t who had loosed on h. r to their i niu. He. thought o' flight, bat lie did not dare to fly. Then ho, too, started down the ro»«fi seeking for tbe Wanderer, but, no shadow crosned the mo.inli'ht. Thus things weat for a while, and sti l 'he Hathorr stood distantly In the snadow. ami still the blood-red Star shone upon her ' roast,. A.i d so it came to pass tbal the World’s Desire must wait at the trjst, Uic sooudi forsaken vtl age maid. While Rii, tne Priest, crouched tim$ 8gaii st the Pylon wall, p'aying for- toe coming of him who came not, eudiealy a, voiospoae to him in tines sweet.r than a lute. • W' o <>rt thou thath.dest in the 3'h*d« ovl” sa d l he vo ci. He kuew that it wus the Hathor whe< spoke, aud so afraid was Le that he not. answer. Then the voice spoke again: “Oh, thou most crafty of nun, why6oti-. it please thee to c jmo hither to seek me in the gu:si of an aged priest?

Therefore he came, forward, trembling, and knelt before her,, saying: “Oh, mighty Queen I am not the man whom thou didst name, nor am 1 hid in my wrappings of disguise. Nay, I do avow myseir to bo named Rei, tbe cniet' arcnlt ct of Phsroah, the c -mmander of’ the leg-on- of Amen, the c iief of the treasury of Amen, and a ma i of repute in this land of Kbem.
