A CONVICT'S YARN. EtO'toIogy In tho dayii when I wnt lit eollegii, liuforo I took to tho jtuiVmUiu which I followed for ninny yearn, wan my eblof delight, and to the f.u-t that I wn a tuileiit of tho way of ancient K(:pyt I owed ono ot tho luckieH ImuU of my life. It fell out In this way : We h id lin tumod our eyes with anient looks toward tho 0i4tahlliiliinent of Mr. l'ontifex. Jeweler and rnluer, of 9 Monro Imw, city, the con tents of whoe simp were mild to li wnrih xiiiio iO,000. Mr. rmitlfex, Iti addlllon to beltm n Jeweler and viduur, was nlmi a l it of an onthtmlnHt ou K'pytliiii n-lkn. and one of ten saw pnriiKraiiln In the fn'T ri'KarilliiK recent additions lu.ulo to bin Kcyitlati iuumuiu at Norwood. Una day my chum, Pick Herring. lounKed Into my room minikin a clay and reading a nWHiiuMr. "Listen to t It in, guvnor. .Svin a WMtO, doodii't ltf" "Fire awny," I retornul, "and I'll givo you my opinion afterward." "'Wo understand that Mr. Chrtoiher Pontlfet, tho well known Jeweler of Monro Lano, K. C, has Just urdered a mummy from Mossri. Wood & So in, tho curiosity doalcrs. Tho mummy In miMial to ho tho reiunlui of l'tolemy II, und there, I no doubt that thero will bo a Knvit rush on the part of all Kiryptololiu to tho 1'ontl fex musoiiin to tho new Importation from tho bind of tho I'hurnolm.' " Xho paragraph then went on to say that 1,01)0 bad been stated as tho price of tho mum my In questlou. "Ain't that n waste o' inoneyf" ho Mhl angrily, "and nil on tho luuminy of a bloko as died thousands and thousands of yours ago. Still, I shouldn't mind charitf In plaoes with that era mummy, pnrvldln, o' course, that it wns to lx) lodged over tho shop. What hoi" ho concluded, with a wink at me. I Inught-d. "I agree with you," I until. "I shouldn't have any ohjectlou at all to changing placet with tho mummy, say between tho hours of midnight and 3 a. m., but I don't qulto eco how it's to he done." "Mora don't I, guv'nor," returned Dick moodily. Ho then relapsed Into slleneo, blowing great clouds from his pipe, and tho busi ness passed out of my mind. It was re called to lue, however, In a very sudden manner some two months later, when, passing down n stroet near tho r-'trnnd, I espied close to a pillar box a letter already stumped nud addressed for posting, but which had evidently mlswd tno Ihix anil fnllen to tho ground. Acting an tho prln- olplo which has always hl me toobtuln as much knowlulgu us I can, I opened tho onrclopo and was astonished to find that It was from Messrs. Wood & Sons and whs addressed to Mr. l'outifcx. This Is what It said: Din Bia-Tlio niuinuiT to rour estivniM order hoa now arrived ut Hontluimptoa, and wo expect It In London tonmrruw. Villi you kindly say If wo can deliver same tomorrow aftunioonf Wo understand the mummy In to bo deposited first of all on your prendws at Mooro lane. Awaiting your reply, wo ro, yoars rery obediently, Koon & Hon. As I read those words a happy thought flushed across my brain, und I rosolvod to Dut it into execution at onco. Going straight to a telegraph oflloo In the city I sent tho following messngo to Wood & Sons : Leaving London for a few dsys Retain mummy till further notice. i'u.NTik-tx. The messngo having hocn duly ills- patched, I took my way at onco to my lodging), whoro I found iny chum, Her ring, sitting disconsolately on tho sofa. 'Duok up, Dick, my urn: i crnti. i think we're In luck nt last. Head Hint lotter." I handed him tho note which I had plckod up near tho pillar box, und ho read It carefully. Then ho said: "Where s tho luck In this, guv norr "What would you say if I told you that I intended to Impersouato tho mummy which Mr. Pontifex has ordered, und that, moreover, I lntund to carry ofT all that I con lay my hands on during the night fol lowing my being delivered Into his keep- ingf" Ho smllod Incredulously. "How's It to bo done, guv'norf It's a knockout plun of course, hut how's It to ha doner" "It will be ly no niouns an easy iusk, ruudo answer, "and It's risky, but It may bo dono witn care auu uincruuuu. Boing extremely thin, I have tho 'make op' of an Ideal mummy. Tho first thing wo havo to outain is an uiicimn, imunmj ooffln, which 1 will go and buy nt unce." I then proceeded to the establishment of the Messrs. Woods, where I bought an 1ml tation ooffln. Tho real article would havo boon exceedingly door, and so I contented myself with a colorable Imitation. IM'P down in a hugo rucesa l pacsou a long overcoat with capacious pockets, a few necessary tools, a lantern with matches aud a few other handy appliances. This being dono, I obtained a quantity of butfcT cloths In which I wss to oe swathed. To give the sniuo an ancient and brownish appenrunco I smoked them at tho flro, tho effoot after that process be ing admirable. Herrinu novo mo valuable scrvloe, and a nlsn enlbrted the help of Jack Tovey, an Ingsnlous youngstr who had often dono good wors lor us m uays Ho showed blmseir an ori pupn m nm mummy business, ana wnon t beursed tho attaching of tho butter cloths to Herring's figure, os an exnmplo of tho manner in which It should lie done, ho ex pressed himself as being quite able to do tho somoofllcefor mowhen tliotlmo cninn. It was a dangerous game, ana oiuy ur well did I know It, but I determined to hope for tho bsst anu irui io mo hk which always seemed to In-long to me. I determined to lose no timo in corrj ik m,tth scheme lcuue, nlinougn ueiaya aro dangcroua every wIhto, tli. y m " clally so In our pr.jf-'sslon. 1 therefore or rangedthatl should I conveyed to Mr Pontlfex's ixjose in Mooro lano arrayed as the mommy to his order on the follow ing afternoon, Friday. Fortunately the weather was very gl.Kony ut the tunc mid King i'og was otcr ail things. Wo engaged a spring c.trt to convey tlu eollin (Niiititlnlng tun to Mmim hme, nud at 4 o'clock on 1'rldny nftrrmmn wo set .nit, mr two ehuiiis and I In iklug of Uiyself I should I rli.ips Ux the word "ll," (or never did any luoumu present so dead au iipiKmraiiLV nt I on that oocntloii. If It had not been for fwir of bursting some of tho butter cloths, I honestly think I should havo broken out Into hcarly laughter, for thn whole nflalr vim-d to me olio o( tho litiest wniedica on record. At length thocfUn was duly deposited In the nHim, ami then t hean'. 1'otitilex tell tho car men to withdraw the lid. This they did, and then I could feel that tho Jeweler was gu.liig at me lis, illy, and I knew that If detection were to oiuui It would nunc now. 1 hank heaven, It did not oomo! On the contrary, the worthy denier In precious stnms seenod griaily Impressed with his purchaso und Insisted on delivering a abort homily to tho car men on the subject. "See hero, my co J men," he raid In an unctuous, satlsllid voice; "see lure, and ndinlro tho work which tho ancient Kvp tlnus knew so well how tovrforiu. Think of the aires which havo rolled by since Ptolemy II lived and ruled! Think of tint millions who have since then turn, d Into dust, nud yet hero am I nlilo to ,h,k to night on the Intact Inidy of that very king! Ah, n marvelous science, tho sel emv of embalming' Marvelous indeed'" Tho hours went l y with n slowiiom that torturcil inc. My face was on lltvwiili pcrsj Intlon, and though I could br. .uho through some small holes we had In ol In the butter cloths, my whole po-ln,,ii was so exceedingly painful that 1 do not think I would go through such an ordeal ugtln even for twice tho temptation. I hoard the church clock In I hcnpsldn strike tho hours, and tho interval between each hour sccimtl llko a week. At lenisth midnight struck, und then I know Hint my awful rest was noor Its end. I could boar tho servants lin king up for tho night. I could hear l'ontifex bidding them good night as ho passed up stairs to lied, and half an hour later tho house was as silent ns tho tomh. "The time hnsoniuc," I thou -I t. "for Ptolemy to come to life. Hero I had proldisl myself with n r(i;.- to which a small blade was attached, und working away with tho same I was a bio after much toll to free my arms, and after ward, of course, tho work was cniiipnra tlvoly easy, but for ten minutes nr. so I could not rise, my limbs being loo crumped to allow ot my doing so. At the end ot that time I pulled myself together, and making n mighty cllort I Imped out. SoUIng my lantern I lit It, and then put on the overcoat and other clothing which I had concealed In tho deep receptacle. Having put on my India nil, 1st shoes and collected my professional Instruments, I went down stairs silently, nud soon found my way Into the shop toward tho treasures of which we bad so long turned our eyes and which treasure now lay within my roach. I Hindu a deliberate se lection, lining uiyHickets with tho pro clous stones In generous profusion. A low whistle outside told me that my faithful pnl, Herring, was watching to six that the const was clear for my exit. I therefore took my way out Into tho p.is sugo, und using my IxKt efforts to make no noise I slid back tho grout bolts and turned the key of the iiuisslve house disir. Everything went perfectly, 'lhe lano was deserted, find I walked rapidly In the direction of the Mansion House, where I was: Joined by Herring, who hurst Into a loud ieal of ltiughter when bo saw mo. " 'Ow nro ycr, Mr. Tollorrmyf" hosald. "Olvo us ycr 'and. lllow mo If yer ain't the coolest bloko wot I ever set eyes on." Then he suld no mure, and we walked on silently till wo reached mir den In St. Luke's. Next morning it train from Char lng (ros convoyed us to l-'olkcstone, whence wo journeyed to Purls, and from there to llrusscls, where the swag wm duly sold aud split up Into shun s. My companions, Herring and Tovey, decided that as I hail hud tho lion's tharo of tho work I should also havo tho same ahuro of tho proceeds, and tho result was thut I was richer by tho night's transac tions to tho tune of something very much llko 8,000. Iitidon Tit-Hits. Priceless Trophies nr the Hunt. W. A. Hulllle (irohnian writes of "Sports In tho Seventeenth Century" for The Cen tury. The author says: The stag was altogether the most highly prized animal of tho ehaso, and his ant lers, If they were of great size or showed any abnormity In their growth, were tho most treasured trophies of the hunt. When potentates Hindu onu another presents, thuso usually consisted of soma famous doer head, for these nlnirods not only vhtl with ono another In tho quantity of gamo thoy lnld low, but also regarding their collections of antlers, upon which enor mous sums wero spout, l'or the famous (HI tlned head killed In lmwl by the elector of Brandenburg nud which Is still piiwrved at tho castle of Morltzhurg, nnur Dresden, It is said that tho elector of Saxony gavo a oompany of tho tallest grcnudlers In his army. For nn abnormal 80 point hand ono of tho dukes of Wurtcmbcrg gavo a whulu village, with Its inhabitants, land, houses and ohurch, Including even thu parson's prebend, us the chron icier docs nit forgot to mention. A duko of Pomeranla offered for a celebrated U'J tlned head which ho was anxious to have for his col lection a sum which would rorn-spond to 128,000 of our present money, and, what Is moro, his hid was refused.
