CHAPTER VIII— Continued
Outside In the quiet street ber bus-
band awaited them with the carriage
-He saluted gravely assisted them Into
their places and in alienee the drove
rapidly through the awaking town A
second carriage traveling at a more
deliberate pace blocked the narrow
avenue and they palled up sharply be-
neath an overhanging lantern There
wae a subdued rattle of arms Amend
leaned forward
"Ah lt’i yon Goetal One man la
sufficient here Have yon anyone yon
can trust?”
"Stand forward--No 4005!"
There wae a brief alienee Arnaud
rested hie chin In bla hand and stared
down at the man drawn np stiffly be-
fore him The other band Iny clenched
on his knee and the knuckles stood

naud dropped back in bit corner The
light fell on hie face for a moment and
Gabrielle 8m!tb saw that be waa entil-
ing watchfully at the woman beside
her Sylvia had not moved She bad
- not even glanced In bis direction or at
the man to whom he had spoken Her
lips were still parted In the childish
expression of wondering anticipation
and ber eyes glistened Arnand langbed
and turned away from ber
A moment later they passed out of
the somber shadows Into the light from
the unfathomable eastern hush into the
babble and movement of the West
Instinctively - Gabrielle glanced back
for a moment It waa as though she
had been lifted suddenly out of a
black mysterious sea on to a fairy
Island and that against the haze of
light she could bear the wave beating
In sullen threatening disappointment
When she turned again aha fonnd that
Sylvia bad already vanished Into the
crowd and that she was alone with
Amend He glanced down at ber
Over hla pale features there passed a
shadow of pity and annoyance
"I am afraid my wife la not always
very considerate” he aald apologeti-
cally “You scarcely know any of
these people'
A correspondent sends u an ex-
cerpt from a yet unpublished work to
know one or two” she answered be entitled "A Sentimental Journey to

inot to bother about me I can take

“Yes yon can take care of yourself"
!He nodded moodily "There are not
imany of ns who can do that much
iMIss Smith We pretend that we hold
(the reins bnt it is ths devil who
drives"
"Yes” she admitted "our particular
devil"
"Do yon know that? How do yon
know?”
"Perhaps I have been Into the ditch
myself Captain Arnand Perhaps"—
and then she looked him fall Into the
face— "perhap tonight baa taught me”
and then before be could answer she
turned from him and passed out reso-
lutely on to the veranda '

first step A man In civilian dress had
come out of a flowered alcove and as
be saw bit face Arnaud drew back
with white lips Tha stranger ap-
peared not to notice him He limped

to a vague murmur
"Gabrielle" the man said scarcely
above bis breath and then louder with
a note of impulsive Interrogation “Ga-
brlellel” She turned and looked at him and
neither spoke Whatever surprise or
consternation there bad been In ber
face bad vanished Her eyes met his
haggard ' bewildered appeal steadily
and sadly Then she made a slight
gesture — a gesture which seemed to In-
dicate an Immeasurable distance— and
passed down the steps Into the dark-
ness No 4005 shouldered his rifle and re-
sumed the monotonous tramp back-
ward and forward across the narrow
entrance to the grove He moved rap-
idly and from time to time glanced
about him with the straining vigilance
of a man who suspects bla loneliness
Southward lay open couutry a silver
atretcb broken by a dork ridge of sand
bills and a clump of blgh palms rising
In majestic solitude from the hidden
green of their oasis To tbs north Sldl-bel-Abbes

kept ceaseless watch over tha distant

Richard Farquhar listened be heard
subdued laughter and then the soft tall
of a woman's feet For all the haunt-
ing realization of danger he did not
turn He bad not been conscious of
hope but hope wild and unreasoning
sprang ont of nothing and drummed
the mad blood Into bis ears
"Mr Farqubarl"
He turned and the bntt end of hla
rifle Jarred against the atones She
stood a few paces from him in a nar-
row clearing where the moonlight -fell
upon her and he saw every feature of
the small face every phase of ber ex-
pression changing from a curious mock-
ery to grave concern He bit hla teeth
together v
“Why did yon come?" he aeked
"Wag It really for the pleasure of my
society?’’'
"I knew that you were in some dan-
ger tonight Mr Farquhar"
Her ace waa turned away now
When she spoke aftey a moment’ si-

the following conversation took place
between myself and tha porter who
strangely enough waa called George:
" ‘Well aald I Tt baa been a nice

"'Well of co’ae dey1 always dost

Flower of tha 8ea
Like the land the sea has its flow-
ers but the moat briUlant of the ma-
rine flowers bloom not upon plants but
upon anlmala Tbs living corals of
tropical seas present a display of floral
beauty that Jn riebnesa and vividness
of color and variety and grace of form
rivals the splendor of a garden of
flowers The resemblance to blossoms
Is so complete that soma persons flbd

ganization Among the sea animals that bloom

besides corals tbs sea anemone and

Ashes of curious forms and flashing

diagonally serosa the glass This
breaks the vibrations and prevents tbe
damage that often results
Gabrielle glaoeed at him and qaw
that be was la undress and that his
uniform was stained with dust
"Colonel Destlnn” sbe said slowly
"the man you have Just punished tor
speaking to mg la my one friend Ws
brushed shoulders aa it were - months
ago when three flights of stairs sep-
arated ns— materially and socially
Now by chance we have met again on
tbs same leveL ’Birds of a feather'

something of a scalawag and tbe -only
virtue of tbe species Is a certain loy-

"Keep guard?” ha echoed half put-
sled half amused
"He bas so enemy”
"And you ere hers as a sort of den
ex machine? Name of heaven a friend

evilly Intentloned person?"
"That I cannot do Colonel Destlnn
But I will make a bargain wltb you
If you will forget tonight's delin-
quencies and will take my place until
I return I will go on your errand
Otherwise I stay here’’
' He waa silent a moment bis band at
bla mustache then be looked at ber
with a curious smile
"You are an unusual little woman
mademoiselle” He seated blmself on
tbe root of tbe tree and drawing out
tys watch held It to tbe light "I give
you ten minutes” be added
“In ten minutes I shall have re-
turned” she answered
"One thing more I do not wish any-
one to knoW of my presence here It
would cause comment Tbe matter Is
between Madame Arnand and myself
Yon understand ?” -"Yes—
I understand” sbe assented
slowly
At a bend 1 the avenne she glanced
back for a moment searching the dark-
ness Colonel Destlnn’s somberly clad
Sgurs was hlddeB in tbs black out-
lines of the trees but beyond dean
cut against tbe silvery plain sbe saw
Richard Farqnhar’s upright watchful
figure Half satisfied she hurried on
As she reached tbe Villa Bernotto’a
the waits came to a languorous end
and a few couples In search of fresh
air drifted out on to tbe veranda Syl-
via Arnaud with ber band resting
lightly on tbe arm of a young lieuten-
ant stood at tbe top of tbe steps ber
bead thrown back a little so -that tbe
soft reflection from tbe overhanging
lantern flooded down npon ber face
and tbe beautiful white neck
Gabrielle touched ber on tbe elbow
and she started “Oh It’s you Miss
Smith 1 I thought— Wbat Is ltr
“Colonel Destlnn Is In tbe grove"
was tbe quiet answer “He wishes to
apeak with you Will you comer
“Yes waitt” She turned carelessly
to ber companion “You will excuse
me won’t yon? My husband baa sent
for me”
minute Ibter sbe stood at Gabrielis
Smith’s side at tbs entrance of tbs
grove She bad completely changed
The coquqttlal) llghj-heartednese wy
gone leaving her excited and a little
breathless Sbe glanced uneasily about
her
"I believe yon are shocked” sbe said
hurriedly “I bad to say it was my
husband And I promised Colonel Des-
tlnn It la about Dealra— and bis pro-
motion — a surprise”
Suddenly with a ttttl choking ex-
clamation she stopped and dUDg to
her companion’ arm “Mlaa Smith—
what la that— don’t yon see— there in
the light— ” -
Instinctively Gabrielle threw off the
terrified hand She bad recognized
Arnand He atood in a bright patch
which the moon threw between two
great palm on to the sandy avenne
His back waa toward her bla bead
bent tbe stoop of bis shoulders Ihe
whole attitude unmistakable Sbe beard
the faint cUck of a lock being slipped
back and then ha turned and looked
behind him - In that second hie fea-
tures were as visible as when limelight
Is turned on to the face of a consum-
mate actor Capt Desire Arnaud
crossed tbe avenue and disappeared
like a shadow In the darker shadow
of the trees
Sylvia shuddered and then laughed
unsteadily
"How stupid of met - I wae really
frightened But I did not want him to
see' ns It would have been bard to ex-
plain and be baa been so strange and
excitable lately”
Sbe went on alone walking In the
center of tbe grove where tbe light
wa strongest and bumming softly to
herself Uko a confident child whose
momentary fear la passed and forgot-
ten Colonel Destlnn beard ber oom-
rielle bad left him smoking tranquilly
and tbe dull glow of bit cigarette light-
ed up an enigmatical composure
Neither pleasure nor triumph bad their
place In those set features but some-
thing else— the suggestion of an incal-
culable force under tbe heel ot so in-
calculable wilt - - -

that her husband Is preparing

warning or alarm? Does ah ’

What Diseases Really Are
Diseases are not Isolated affections
of the single organs in which they
manifest themselves — mumps of the
salivary glands typhoid of the bow-
els consumption of the lungs nephri-
tis of the kidneys eczema of the
skin and so on — but are a failure o£
the body as a whole to carry on Its
functions and the particular organs
are merely groups ft cells that for
specific' reasons ‘show the defect
In accepting a position on the ed-
itorial staff of the New York MetJIcal

Is as old as Hippocrates- but Is
“too frequently overlooked in an era
