The only doubt is whether he is in the city." "No," the soldier answered, "but he is expected with thousands of his men at the armory to-day." "Then may the Hathors, who are partial to love messengers, bring these two together to-morrow at latest," said the priest. But the lad indignantly retorted: "I am the bearer of no love message."

Then came the Hathors to decree for him a destiny; they said, "His death is to be by the crocodile, or by the serpent, or by the dog."
