At last the lady s heart was fairly caught, was brought to terms, andob- iged to surrender, and to that 'tame. spiritless man, Charles Ray.'

We refused to give the price demanded, and, upon some of us starting up alone, the-old Sheik very gladly agreed to take us for one half what he at first de manded. It took three men to each person two to pull by the hands and one to push. And though we were carried with great rapidity, only shop ping for a few moments to get breath, we were nearly half an hour getting to the ton. I was much anrused by the Backshish song of my guides, as they hurried me up the perilous height, the substance of which was as follows: We go up fast, no be afraid, Allah, Allah, BrtcksJa'sJi, Backshish." Eve ry feAV moments they stopped singing and plead m plain Lngiish tor a DacK- shish, declaring that the Sheik was a scoundrel, and would not give4 them a cent of the money I was to pay him, and no rest could be found until they i 1 . , 1 i ii received wnat they demanueu. The view from the top of this Pyra mid is one of the finest and most inter esting in the world. On the west the great Saharah Avith its hills and plain's of drifting sands, is spread out before you.
