Chapter XL
`B'UtRSED°'
When the Pitnnareh, Israel, died,
. rill his sons were with him and they
wept aloud. But tears.Must
ed away and woork must he .carried
on.
Aib1 Egypt was in mourning,—tithe
father of Joseph was dead.
For s'even'ty days the whole coun-
try was in 'deepest mourning. ' It
took the' first forty days to embalm
the body (for Joseph had Command-
ed that his father be embalmed as a
Pharoah). And the last month was
given over to 'preparation for the
funeral. `
"Goring to the fun'er'al 'of the old
Shepherd of Goshen?" was the ques-
tion on the lips of many Egyptians
during the first week -of that month.
And, usually, the answer was "No, I
'i do not go to -shepherd's funerals!"
7tBtit Joseph "spoke to Pharoah about
iia -„and then, everybody answered,
"Yes, I rain going to the Patriarch's
funerals .goring right to the grave in
+Cianaan."
Pharoah had •ordered a public fun-
eral. Joseph had insisted- that Phan
oah give the order•, and Joseph was
the ,.popular dictator of Egypt in those
days.
Josepifi• was a 'benefieient dictator,
but he insisted on having a suitable
funeral for his father. There ,were
reasons for this de land. •in the days
before the famine, Israel had became
a 'person to be ,reckoned with among
the sheiks of 'Canaan. • He was a
king dri a'small way, and should re-
ceive royal honors. Ile. was more
than` a .s'hepherd as shepherds go in
'Egypt.
Then, too, 'Pharoah was willing, for
while he did nbt like shepherds', he
realized that Israel was no common
s'hepher'd . . , And he had learner
th'e wisdom of doing the thing that
.Jaseph, his,. popular prime Minister,
desired. Under the seal . of Pharesh, orders
went out to-ail.the princes and nobles.
of Egypt, to b'e :i'ie ent a ;,.ie funeral
and to accompany. the, peesession, to
the place of 'burial.lin -Canaan. Other
orders were issued for the common`'
-people of Egypt to ''be ready' for the.
-funeral day, and except.in cases of
,emergency they. wouldn a'.so go to.
Canaan.
In the aneantimae ''a 'bier.•:had 'been
anhade .of pure gold, and inlaid with
precious . stones fit 'for' a king. The
.embalmed beady „was laid on the bier
re
and coved , with a gold, cloth, the
el -asps of which 'Were shaped from
greciaus stones . . . The Patriarch
was lying instate, a scepter in his
'(rand -and a crown upon his 'head.
The funeral day arrived and' the
funeral procession was formed. The
Tiause 'Guards of Pharoah and the
Body Guards of Joseph 'led the way
—in full,dress uniform. Fifty of
5'acob's srvants followed scattering
perfume on the roach Then came the
embalmed body on the geld -en ''bier,
and the mourners walking. aid weep-
ing loudly -. . . .Joseph and his
'household were following close to the
Mier in their bare --feet. Behind the
children of Israel, was a mighty 'hast
:of Egyptians.
Slowly and with Loud weeping the
,procession made its way from the'
land of IGoshen in Egypt . to
Machpela'h in the land of Canaan.
In 'Canaan there had been no sor-
uow when it was reported that Israel
-was dead: Ile ;had been the strong
Iran of the tribe of Israel—none of
his sons had shown any ability like
Ills. So the people of Canaan •di•d not
'expect the sons would ever conte )back
from Egypt -,-and as a result, there
'would be more pasture land for their
flocks.
When .th,ey heard that -Israel was
toe be buried in Canaan • they laughed
at the idea -arid decided to be' too
lousy to go: the funeral -of- their
old neighbor.,
But—when the funeral cortege ar-
rived in Canaan and rested a .while
to complete, the days of mourning,
the people' Canaan suddenly chang-
ed their ans. .
' "Why ivas Pharoah at the fun-
eral?" they_ _inquired. "And why
were all••the princes of Egypt there ?•
Did Israel become so great in Egypt
that .he was so 'Mourned in hits death?
Why did all Egypt seem to be at the
funeral?" -
When ,meseeeigets were sent to find
out an answer to these queries, they
came home with a wonderful story .of
the grandeur displayed in the fun-
eral. "The Patriarch is emblamed
like a Pharoah--his body lies on a
.golden bier—he is resting with a seep-
, tre in bis band and a crown on his
head:✓ `
Fie looks like a. king—a king
Of all the Sheiks of Canaan."
Then there 'was Canaan,
excitement
in all the land .of Canaan, as the
Canaandtes, the Edomites, and the
]frs'hmtaelitesi brought rich gifts •to the
ehi'ldren of .the dead patri'arc'h. The
`kings brought their crowns and laid
them on the bier. here were thirty -
.six crowns on the casket that day.

The -Star 'firs't met M'r. Huggard. He
had alighted fawn the train and, with
his guards, was walking up anti

later, in a drawing room aboard the
train, he told .The Star Something of
what he had undergone in the two
tmronths he was a fugitive from jus-

pale young man of ah'out 37 with

ran 'his fingers as he talked.
"It all started when I made .a bad
investment some year's ago," he -said.
"It went bad, so 'I just 'borrowed'

In New York again, . under • the

money was exhausted so he telephon-

help. This failed and next day ,he
got a jolb aboard aboat sailing on a

That was why 'the police failed.' Go

Beautiful Woodwork
Old oak, whether it be in the shape
of panels, of heirloom chairs, a set-
tee, or a "Monk's 'bench," requires
care to keep it beautiful—for a very
beautiful wood it is.
Ahold the use of .slaap, washing
soda, or hot 'water on old oak, as it
deadens its appearance, gives lit that
grey, lifeless appearance which is to
be deplored. Two or three times a
yearl—speaking of oak doors oa• pan-
els—after careful dusitireg, with . a
vacuum if possible, a very .little pure
boiled linseed 'oil should be will rub-
bed in and the wood well polished.
Excess of oil causes the • dust to
.stick. To render old oak panels fire--
proof,
re=proof, 'brush them over two or,three
times with a str'onig solution of sili-
cate of dada. '
For furniture, settees, •chairs,
benches, 'eitc., use a goad furniture
polish and see that. the wobd is clean
first, then apply a very little and:
polish with twwio soft dusters, one in
each . band, .to .. ,prevent . the left .hand
from marking the wood.
The final polishing must be by the
way of the grain of wood and should
be continued till the hand placed.
Fughtly on the Wood leaves 'no mark.
Too much 'palish makes things messy
and greasy.

get him down. with the family
away for the summer he bridges the

Twice a week, at a set hour, he has a
