SYNOPSIS.
—9—
Le Comte de Sabron, captain t French
cavalry, takes to his quarters to raise by
hand a motherless Irish terrier pup. and
names It Pltohoune. He dines with the
Marquise d'Escllgnac and meets Miss
Julia Redmond. American heiress, who
sinus for him an English ballad that
lingers In his memory. Sabron is ordered
to Algiers, but is not allowed to take
servants or dogs. Miss Redmond offers to
take care of the dog during his master's
absence, but Pitchoune. homesick for hl
master, runs away from her. The Mar-
quise plans to marry Julia to the Due de
Tremont. Unknown to Sabron, Pitchoune
follows him to Algiers. Dog and master
meet and Sabron gets permission from
the war minister to keep his dog with him.
Julia writes him that Pitchoune has run
away from her. He writes Julia of Pit-
choune. The Due de Tremont finds the
American heiress capricious. A newspa-
fier report that Sabron Is among the ndss-
ng after an engagement with the natives
causes Julia to confess to her aunt that
she loves him. Sabron, wounded In an en-
gagement. falls Into the dry bed of a
river, and Is watched over by Pitchoune.
After a horrible night and day Pitchoune
leaves him. Julia goes In search of Sa-
bron, reported missing. Tremont takes
Julia and the Marquise to Algiers In his
yacht, not knowing their errand.
CHAPTER XVI—Continued.
With his godmother he was entirely
at ease. Ever since she had paid his
trifling debts when he was a young
man, he had adored her. Tremont,
always discreet and almost in love
with his godmother, kept her in
state of great good humor always, and
when she had suggested to him this
little party he had been delighted. In
speaking over the telephone the Mar-
quise d'Escllgnac had said very
firmly:
"My dear Robert, you understand
that this excursion engages you to
nothing."
"Oh, of course, marraine."
"We both need a change, and be-
tween ourselves, Julia has a little mis-
sion on foot."
Tremont would be delighted to
help Miss Redmond carry it out
Whom else should he ask?
"By all means, any one you like,"
said his godmother diplomatically.
"We want to sail the day after to-
morrow." She felt safe, knowing
that no worldly people would accept
an invitation on twenty-four hours'
notice.
"So," the Due de Tremont reflected,
as he hung up the receiver, "Miss
Redmond has a scheme, a mission!
Young girls do not have schemes and
missions in good French society;"
"Mademoiselle," he said to her, as
they walked up and down on the deck
In the pale sunset, in front of the
chair of the Marquise d'Esclignac, "I
never saw an ornament more becom-
ing to a woman than the one you
wear."
"The ornament, Monsieur?"
"On your sleeve It is so beauti-
ful. A string of pearls would not be
more beautiful, although your pearls
are lovely, too. Are all American girls
Red Cross members?"
"But of course not, Monsieur. Are
all girls anywhere one thing?"
"Yes," said the Due de Tremont,
"they are all charming, but there are
gradations."
"Do you think that we shall reach
Algiers tomorrow, Monsieur?"
"I hope not, Mademoiselle."
Miss Redmo^'.' turned her fine eyes
on him.
"You hope not?"
"I should like this voyage to last
forever, Mademoiselle."
"How ridiculous!"
Her look was so frank that tie
laughed in spite of himself, and in-
stead of following up the politeness,
he asked:
"Why do you think of Algiers as a
field for nursing the Bick, Mademoi-
selle?"
"There has been quite a deputation
of the Red Cross women lately going
from Paris to the East."
"But," said the young man, "there
are poor In Tarascon, and sick, too.
There is a great deal of poverty in
Nice, and Paris is the nearest of all."
"The American girls are very im-
aginative," said Julia Redmond. "We
must have some romance in all we
do."
"I find the American girls very
charming," said Tremont.
"Do you know many, Monsieur?"
"Only one," he said serenely
Miss Redmond changed the subject
quickly and cleverly, and before he
knew it, Tremont was telling her
stories about his own military serv-
ice, which had been made in Africa.
He talked well and entertained them
both, and Julia Redmond listened
when he told her of the desert, of its
charm and its desolation, and of its
dangers. An hour passed. The Mar-
quise d'Esclignac took an ante-
prandial stroll, Mimi mincing at her
heels.
"Ce pauvre Sabron!" said Tremont
"He has disappeared off the face of
the earth. What a horrible thing it
was, Mademoiselle! I knew him in
Paris; I remember meeting him
again the night before he left the
Midi. He was a fine fellow with a
career before him, his friends say.'
"What do you think has become of
Monsieur de Sabron?"
Miss Redmond, so far, had only
been able to ask this question of her
aunt and of the stars. None of them
had been able to tell her. Tremont
shrugged his shoulders thoughtfully
"He may have dragged himself
away to die in some ambush that they
have not discovered, or likely he has
been take captive, le pauvre diabie!"
"France will do all it can, Mon-
sieur . .
"They will do all they can, which
is to wait. An extraordinary measure,
if taken just now, would probably re-
sult in Sabron being put to death by
his captors. He may be found to-
morrow—he may never be found."
A slight murmur from the young
gtrl beside him made Tremont look
at her. He saw that her hands were
clasped and that her face was quite
white, her eyes staring fixedly before
her, out toward Africa. Tremont
said:
"You are compassion itself, Made-
moiselle; you have a tender heart.
No wonder you wear the Red Cross.
1 am a soldier, Mademoiselle. I thank
you for all soldiers. I thank you for
Sabron but. we must not talk
of such things."
He thought her very charming, both
romantic and idealistic. She would
make a delightful friend. Would she
not be too intense for a wife? How-
ever, many women of fashion joined
the Red Cross. Tremont was a com-
monplace man. conventional in his
heart and in his tastes.
"My children," said the marquise,
coming up to them with Mimi in her
arms, "you are as serious as though
we were on a boat bound for the
North Pole and expected to live on
tinned things and salt fish. Aren't
you hungry, Julia? Robert, take Mimi
to my maid, will you? Julia," said
her aunt as Tremont went away vlth
the little dog, "you look dramatic, my
dear; you're pale as death in spite of
this divine air and this enchanting
sea." She linked her arm through
her niece's. "Take a brisk walk with
me for five minutes and whip up your
blood. 1 believe you were on the
point of making Tremont some un-
wise confession."
"I assure you no, ma tante."
"Isn't Bob a darling, Julia?"
"Awfully," returned her niece ab-
sent-mindedly.
He's the most eligible young man
in Paris, Julia, and the most difficult
to please."
"Ma tante," said the girl in a low
tone, "he tells me that France at
present can do practically nothing
about finding Monsieur de Sabron.
Fancy a great army and a great na-
tion helpless for the rescue of a sin-
gle soldier, and his life at stake!"
"Julia," said the marquise, taking
the trembling hand in her own, "you
will make yourself ill, my darling,
and you will be no use to anyone, you
know."
"You're right," returned the girl.
"I will be silent and I will only pray."
She turned from her aunt to stand
for a few moments quiet, looking out
man had become the best of friends
She considered him a sincere com
panlon and an unconscious confed
erate. He had not yet decided what
he thought of her, or how. His prom-
ise to remain on the yacht had been
broken and he paid his godmother
and Miss Redmond constant visits at
their villa, which the marquise rented
for the season.
There were times when Tremont
thought Miss Redmond's exile a fa-
natical one. but he always found her
fascinating and a lovely woman, and
he wondered what it was that kept
him from laying his title and his for-
tune at her feet. It had been under
stood between the godmother and
himself that he was to court Miss
Redmond a' I'americalne.
"She has been brought up In such
a shocking fashion, Robert, that noth-
ing but American love-making will
at |.he sea, at the blue water through
which the boat cut and flew. Along
the horizon was a mist, rosy and
translucent, and out of It white A1
giers would shine before many hours.
When Tremont, at luncheon a little
later, looked at his guests, he saw a
new Julia. She had left her coat with
the Red Cross in her cabin with her
hat. In her pretty blouse, her pearls
around her neck, the soft flush on
her cheeks, she was apparently only
light-hearted woman of the world.
She teased her aunt gently, she
laughed very dellciously and lightly
flirted with the Due de Tremont. who
opened a bottle of champagne. The
Marquise d'Esclignac beamed upon
her niece. Tremont found her more
puzzling than ever. "She sugges'i
the chameleon." he thought, "she has
moods. Before, she was a tragic
muse; at luncheon she is an ador-
able sybarite."

CHAPTER XVII.
Out of the Desert.
From a dreamy little villa, who a
walls were streaming with bougain-
villea. Miss Redmond looked over Al-
Swan Creek, Mich.—"I cannotspealc
too highly of your medicine. When
through neglect or
overwork I get run
down and my appe-
tite is poor and I
have that weak, lan-
guid, always tired
feeling, I get a bot-
tle of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound, and it
builds me up, gives
me strength, and re-
stores me to perfect
health again. It is truly • great bless-
ing to women, and I cannot speak too
highly of it. I take pleasure in recom-
mending it to others."—Mrs. Annib

giers, over the tumult and hum of it,
to the sea. Tremont, by her side,
looked at her. From head to foot
the girl was In white. On one side
the bougalnvlllea laid Its scarlet flow-
ers against the stainless linen of her
dress, and on her other arm was the
Red Cross.

appeal to her. You will have to make
live to her, Robert Can you do It?
"But, marraine, I might as well
make love to a sister of charity."
"There was la Belle Heloise, and no
woman is immune."
"I think she is engaged to some
American cowboy who will come and
claim her, marraine."
His godmother was offended.
"Rubbish!" she said. "She Is en-
gaged to no one. Bob. She is an
idealist, a Rosalind; but that will not
prevent her from making an excel-
lent wife."
"She is certainly very beautiful,"
said the Due de Tremont, and he told
Julia so.
"You are very beautiful," said the
Due de Tremont to Miss Redmond, as
she leaned on the balcony of the villa.
The bougalnvlllea leaned against her
breast. "When you stood in the hos-
pital under the window and sang to
the poor devils, you looked like an
angel."
"Poor things!" said Julia Redmond.
"Do you think that they liked it?"
"Liked it!" exclaimed the young
man enthusiastically, "couldn't you
see by their faces? One poor devil
said to me: 'One can die better now,
Monsieur.' There was no hope for
him. It seems."
Tremont and Marquise d'Esclig-
nac had docilely gone with Julia Red-
r*. ind every day at a certain hour to
the different hospitals, where Julia,
after rendering some slight services
to the nurses—for she was not need-
ed—sang for the sick standing In the
outer hallway of the building open on
every side. She knew that Sabron
was not among these sick. Where he
was or what sounds his ears might
hear, she could not know; but she
sang for him, and 'the fact put a
sweetness in her voice that touched
the ears of the suffering &.nj uplifted
those who were not too fa* iown to
be uplifted, and as for the dying, it
helped them, as the soldiBi laid, to
die.

WARS ON CARELESS REMARKS
"They Say" Stories Are Prevented
From Spreading by the Trace-
It-Back Club.
From Albany, N. Y , Is reported P
Trace-It-Back club. Some men had
been listening to a "they say' story,
and one suggested that were the story
traced back to its source, not much
of ft would be left. Another pro-
posed to trace It back and see. The
result was so striking, that the men
at once formed themselves into a club
for the purpose of tracing such things
to their source and so preventing much
serious mischief from careless and un-
founded statements. The club now
numbers many members.
A club of that sort could find em-
ployment and useful work to do in
every community. Members of the
Albany club are exceedingly careful
now about what they say. Just a
hint of doubt about the matter and
they appoint someone to investigate.
This is sufficient to cause the recall
of all that one was not positively sure
about. Hash, hasty talk has been the
cause of untold misery It is wise .o
make no statement without having
valid reason for believing it true. It
would be no bad plan for everyone to
be as careful of his speech as if a
Trace-It-Back club were going to In-
vestigate his statements
WHEN THE RANGE IS FOUND

Shell Fire on the Ranks of

Tabloid Aeroplanes.
The British reason, quite logically,
that the smaller the aeroplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger of Its
being hit by shots fired from earth
So the British airmen favor an unusu-
ally small machine, which they call
the "tabloid " A very light frame is
fitted with an 80-horsepower motor,
which will drive the frail machine
through the air at the rate of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armor. The aviator seeking to
drop a bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at a height of 5,000 feet.
When straight above It, he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed When within
500 feet of the target he drops his
bombs as quickly as possible and then
shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.

Crash! a roar from out of the rum
ble. a puff of white smoke and a rain
of lead on the very men I had been
watching! The Germans had found
the range exactly but the distance
was too great for me to distinguish
what execution they were doing among
those stirred ranks Then came a
long siren whistle screeching through
the air from the distance. Again a
twinkling flash against the blue, again
a puff of rich, fleecy smoke, and an-
other shell had scattered death on the
men helplessly waiting below.
Fascinated, we watched those little
twinklings of flame and puffs of white
smoke Whence came they, we won-
dered, and by what weird skill were
they made to burst squarely over their
intended prey? Was it the science of
man or was it, as we half believed, the
cajolery of some demon gloating over
the helplessness of his victims? Again
the azure was broken by a little white !
puff—again we wondered—whence?
Click — click—click click—click—
