"I wish it wasn't so horribly cold," she said. And Baroudi was away in the gold of the south, and perhaps with the "Full Moon." "It won't be half so bad when we get to Mena House. There's always a wind on this road in winter." "And in the Fayyūm? Will it be cold there?" "No, not like this. Only at nights it gets cold sometimes, and there's often a thick mist." "A thick mist!"

He is heedless, but he loves me and his sister more than anything in the world. I, fool as I was, to persuade him to economy, had vividly described our evil plight, and after that disgraceful conduct of Mena he thought of us and of our anxieties. His share of the booty was small, and could not help us. His comrades threw dice for the shares they had obtained he staked his to win more for us.

"Is this my gentle amiable dreamer?" "That is the word I wanted," said Nefert in a low tone. "I slept, and dreamed, and dreamed on till Mena awoke me; and when he left me I went to sleep again, and for two whole years I have lain dreaming; but to-day I have been torn from my dreams so suddenly and roughly, that I shall never find any rest again."

Pale and still as if frozen, Katuti shed not a tear; for a minute she did not speak, then she asked in a dull tone: "And Rameses?" "The Gods be praised!" answered the servant, "he is safe-rescued by Mena!" "And Ani?" "Burnt! they found his body disfigured out of all recognition; they knew him again by the jewels he wore at the banquet."

The charioteer remembered how his master had restored him to dignity and honor, for the sake of his faithful wife; and gratefully pressed her hand. Suddenly there was a noise in front of the tent, and an officer entered to announce to Mena that the Danaid king and his daughter, accompanied by body-guard, requested to see and speak with him and Nefert.

"I know," she said, that I have touched a wound in thy heart; but it is already closing, and it will heal when you are happier even than the charioteer Mena, and need no longer hate him. Nefert is good, but she is delicate and not clever, and scarcely equal to the management of so large a household as ours.

King Mena or Menes, founder of the first dynasty, whose date, if he was a historical character at all, and not a mythic founder like Minos of Crete, Manu of India, or Mannus of Germany, cannot be later than 3200 B.C., is said to have united for the first time the two crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt.

"Oh, Mena, please, please don't be cross with Jack! I love him so, and and he loves me back!" Lennon met Carmena's hard stare with a gaze no less cool and resolute. "Elsie is to be my wife," he declared. "I shall marry her as soon as possible." "Your wife? Marry her? You mean that?" "Yes." Carmena's fixed gaze wavered and sank.

Lennon flung himself in past the young Navaho. Safe within the cliff house, he reeled against the massive wall and stood panting for breath. From the doorway of the living room came a happy cry. Elsie darted out to fling her arms about Lennon. "Oh! oh! oh! You did get up, Jack you did!" she cried. "Mena was dreadfully afraid for you.

"We will exchange stories over coffee, eh? The Mena House is close by, and I have a car." "So do we," Rick said. "We came in Hassan's car." "Then let us drive down in our separate cars and meet there. We have much to talk over." That was an understatement, Rick thought.
