The first-story floor—the one which had been even_ with the “hallway of the house we. had just quitted—had been removed §o that the room of the mu- seum was two stories high. Two huge pillars, with steel beams and fl had been erected as suppoys. oreover, the walls marking the feEer rooms had been demolished. 7®e re- sult was that the room we Tad entered occupied the entire width snd length of the house—about 25 % 70 feet— and had a ceiling almout M high.

My eyes at once searched the oppo- site corner of the room for the mur- dered man, but that part of the mu- seum was in shadow nnd all I could see was a dark mass, like a recumbent human’ body, in front of the farthest Tear cabinet. Vance and Markham had descended the stairs, while Scarlett and I waited on the straight and pulled the draw.cords of the cur- tains, Light flooded the semi-darkness, and for the firSt time I took in the beautiful and amazing contents of that great room. In the center of the opposite wall rose a 10-foot obelisk from Hellopolis, commemorating an expedition of Queen Hat-shepsyt of the eightesnth qmur.y. and bearing her cartouche., To right and left of the obelisk stood lwo plaster-cast trait statues—one of Queen Teti-shiret of the seventeenth dynasty, and the other a plack replica of the famous Turin statue of Ramses 1I-—considered one of the finest pieces of seulptured portraiture in an- tiquity. Above and beside them hung sev- eral papyri, framed and under glass, their faded burnt-orange hackgrounds— punctuated with red, yellow, green and white patches—making splashes of at- tractive color sgainst the dingy gray plaster of the wall. Four large lime- stone bas-reliefs, taken from a nine- teenth dynasty tomb at Memphis and containing passages from the Book of | the Dead, were aligned above ‘the gemalh the front windows stood a black granite twenty-second dynasty sarcophagus, fully 10 feet long, its front and sides covered with hierogiyphie in- riptions. It was surmounted by a mummy-shaped lid showing the soul bird, or Ba, with its falcon's form and buman head. This sarcophagus was one of the rarest in America and had | mummy {and brilliant eolors. RUSH drew himself up with s /p £ this _country n brought to i - ancient T the Gormer e cedarwosd sutue of an in Palestine—a relic of the conquests of Thut-mose IIT. Near the foot of the stairs on which I stood loomed the majestic Kha-ef-Re statue from the fourth dyl-qty. It was made of gray plaster of paris, var< nished and polished in imitation of the original diorite. It stood mearly 8 feet high, and its dignity and power and magistral calm seemed to dominate the entire museum. (Kha-ef-Re was the originator of the great Sphinx and also of one of the three great Gizeh pyra- mids—Wer Kha-ef-Re (Kha-ef-Re is highty)—now known as the Second Pyramid. To the right of the statue and ex- tending all the way to the spiral stairs at the rear was a row of anthropoid cases, gaudily decorated in gold Above them hung two enormously enlarged tinted photo- graphs, one showing the Colossi of | Amen-hotpe 1II, the other _depicting the great Amun Temple at Karnak. Around the. two supporting. columns in the center of the museum deep shelves had been built, and on them re- posed a fascinating array of shawabtis, beautifully carved and gayly- painted ‘wooden figures. Extending between the two pillars was a long, low, velvet-covered table, perhaps 14 feet in length, bearing a | beautiful _eoliection of alabaster [ fumery and canopic vases, blue loti- | form ‘jars, kohn pots of polished ob- sidian and several cylindrical carved cosmetic jars of semi-translucent and opaque alabaster. At the rear of the oom was a squat coffer with inlays of blue-glazed faience, white and red ivory and black ebony; and beside it floeq a carved chair of state, decorated gesso and gilt, and bearing & design o( lotus flowers and buds. Across the front of the room ran e glass showcase containi collars of cloisonne, amulets ma- Jjolica, shell pendants, girdles-of- gold ‘eowries, thombic beads of carnelian and feldspar, bracelets and anklets and fin- ger rings, gold and ebony fans and a collection of scarabs of most of the Pharaohs down to Ptolemaic times. Around the walls, just below the Gdl- ing, ran a 5-foot frieze—a ited | copy of the famous “Rhapsody of Pcn- ta-Weret,” commemorating the victory of Ramses II over the Hittites at K»~ desh in Syria. As soon as Vance had od the heavy curtains of the front wir he and Markham moved toward the rear of the room. Scarlett and I ac(nad the stairs and followed them.
