CHAPTER XIV,
When Deirdre returned from the
poel, where sha had left Lass, the
et -ate of fowls, and the ea -we with the,
old dog standing guard over them,'
Mrs. Cameron was' already beating an
arrow of flame that hard struck the
packieck on the hill -top, and Jenny on
the, other edge of the fences was also
heating.
Darkness had fallen. The glare of
the fire was visible above the thie.,k
standing -wall of haze.
Deirdre saw a glittering line break!

"We're eut oft," she 'attic'.

Jenny screamed, dancing up arid

Site dropped on of the vases she
was carrying- and it broke in a thou-
sand pieces.
"I don't knew," Mrs, Cameren said
elowly, Her eyes wandered to the
broken pieces of the vase.
For a moment Deirdre's brain was
paralyzed too. She stood sta-ring
down the track. All the terrible stor-
ies ,cif the fires, of people who had been
burnt to death, flashed into her rain&
A shout was raised behind them.
"It's father!" she cried.
The Schoolmaster dashed round the
corner et the house. His face was
blackened and had angry weals where
the fire had lashed it. His eyebrows
arid heard were singed close to his
head. At a glance he took in the
situation. His horse with head hung
was blewing like a bektows.
"Daveylis just behind me!" he gasp-
ed, looking at Mrs. Cameron. "Mr.
Oanieron and he didn't know the fires
were making this way • till I told them;
then he sent Davey. I came . . to
give him a hand. Never thought we'd

The explorer 'acmes upon a mound,

the desert in a region known to have
been inhabited by ancient races, He
sets his trained workmen to clearing'
away the sand, after first having made
photographs of the undisturbed. site.
A,s' soon as -a tomb or pyramid is un.
cavered, the stairway leading into the
tomb is the first to be cleared. This
had, been. filled in after the fliVeraf
with the clean debris left after the ex-
cavation of the rock -cut chambers and
the building -of the pyramid. Then the
plunderers came, at some time or.
other, and dug a hole in the clean fill-
ing of eaeh stairway, this hole after-
ward becoming stopped up partly with
the things that the grave robbers,
threw away as 'valueless, and partly -
with drift sand. The robbers were na-
turally after the gold and jewels they
knew had been buried in the ' royar
tombs.
It is easy to distinguish betwoen the
original filling and the debris of the
thieves' tunnel. The objects found
the latter usually came from the royal
burial chamber and, in the records of'
expeditions, have. to be carefully dis-
tinguished from other objects. When
the doorway at the foot of the stairs!.
has been reached, the workmen begin
to clear the pyramid above, or another
stairway, until the record of the block-
ings and measurements of the stairs
have been made. After that, the sand
is removed, leaving only about 8 inch-
es of the floor debris intact. What-
ever is foun-cl in the sand ---and it is
usually little enough—is considered as
having washed in froni the thieves"
tunnel outside. When the sand is out,

Miracle Viater in England
Works Wonderful Cures.
"Miracle" water, said to contain the
elixir of life, has been discovered, in.
an old well in the little Essex village
of Vange. Stories of wonderful cures
effected by the water have caused
pilgrimages from many parts of the
country, people arriving on foot, with
teams and in luxurious motor cars.
A titled woman who drank less than
two glasses said that it made her feel
better. A millionaire who drank from
the well took a jug of the water away
and told the humble owner of the well
that if the water (lid *hat was. claimed
it would do the man would -never have
to do another day's work.
An average of more than 500 visit-
ors daily have been visiting the well
carrying every conceivable sort of rap
ceptacle and all ara served free.
The "raira.ole" water was teeth:wen. -
ed during a drought by an eighty-year-
old farmer named George Murrell. He
had recourse to a puddle which never
seemed to dry up arid used the -water
for making tea. It has a curious taste,
but a few hours after drinking it Mur-
rell felt a strange new vigor within
him. '1'he next day he drank more
and said. 'I felt better than I ha.d -In
twenty years."
Murrell told about his discovery to
a iseventy-yeait-old neighbor named
Charles Cash, wile fourid that the
water came from a well. He drank
same of it and experienced the same
sensation Murrell,

he says, are not equaled even by the

Piigrinleges began. People suffering
from olieumadisin, dygpopsia, gout and
skin diseases drank the water land

were many ex -service -men among
them. The farmers have been urged tee
to make a charge, but they 'will not
