CHAPTER XX—Continued.
After a moment, In which the Mar-
quise d'Escllgnac gazed at the bougaln-
vlllea and wondered how anyone could
admire its crude and vulgar color, Miss
Redmond asked:
"Did you ever think that the Due de
Tremont was In lore?"
Turning shortly about to her niece,
her aunt stared at her.
"In love, my dear!"
"With Madame de la Maine."
The arrival of Madame de la Maine
had been a bitter blow to the Mar-
quise d'Escllgnac. The young woman
was, however, much loved In Paris and
quite Id the eye of the world. There
was no possible reason why tfie Mar-
quise d'Esclignac should avoid her
"You have been hearing gossip,
Julia."
"I have been watching a lovely
woman," said the girl simply, "and a
man. That's all. You wouldn't want
me to marry a man who loves another
woman, ma tante, when the woman
loves him and when I love another
man?"
She laughed and kissed her aunt's
cheek.
"Let us think of the soldier," she
murmured, "let us think just of him,
ma tante, will you not?"
The Marquise d'Esclignac struck
her colors.
In the hallway of the villa, In a
snowy glbbeh (and his clean-washed
appearance was much in his favor),
.Hammet Abou waited to talk with the
"grandmother" and the excellency.
He pressed both his hands to his
forehead and his breast as the ladles
entered the vestibule. There was a
stagnant odor of myrrh and sandal-
wood In the air. The marble vesti-
bule was cool and dark, the walls
hung with high-colored stuffs, the
windows drawn to keep out the heat.
The Due de Tremont and Madame
de la Maine came out of the salon
together. Tremont nodded to the
Arab.
"I hope you are a little lesi—" and
he touched hlB forehead smiling, "to-
day, my friend."
"I am as God made me, MonBleur."
"W'hat have you got today?" asked
Julia Redmond anxiously, fixing her
eager eyes upon Hammet
It seemed terrible to her that this
man should stand there with a vital
secret and that they should not all be
at his feet. He glanced boldly around
at them.
"There are no soldiers her??"
"No, no, you may speak freely."
The man went forward to Tremon*
and put a paper In his hands, unfold-
ing It like a chart
"This Is what monsieur asked me
for—a plan of the battlefield. Tb' t
the battlefield, and this U me
desert."
Tremont took the chart On the
page was simply a round circle, drawn
In red ink, with a few Arabian charac-
ters and nothing else. Hammet Abou
traced the circle with his fingers
tipped with henna.
"That was the battle. Monsieur."
"Rut this la no chart, Hammet
Abou."
The other continued, unmoved:
"And all the rest ts a desert, like
this."
Tremont, over the man's snowy
turban, glanced at the others and
ahrugged. Every one but Julia Red-
mond thought be was Insane She
came up to him where he stood close
to Tremont. She said very slowly in
French, compelling the man's dark
•yes to meet hers:
"You don't wish to tell us, Hammet
Abou, anything more. Am I not
right? You don't wish us to know the
truth."
Now it was the American pitted
•gainst the Oriental. The Arab, with
deference, touched his forehead be-
fore her.
"If I made a true plan," he said
coolly, "your excellency could give It
tomorrow to the government"
"Just what should be done, Julia,"
•aid the Marquise d'Esclignac. In Eng-
lish. "This man should be arrested
•t once."
"Ma tante," pleaded Julia Redmond.
She felt as though a slender thread
was between her lingers, a thread
which led her to the door of a laby-
rinth and which a rude touch might
cause her to lose forever.
"If you bad money would you start

of a report of an accident at Unities '
ville, in which R. P. Patrick, n sheet I
Sahron more than once or twice in
her life. He came forward.
"Let me talk to this man." he said
with authority, and Julia Redmond
did not dispute him.
In a tone different from the light
and mocking one that he had hitherto
used to the Arab, Tremont began to
ask a dozen questions severely, and
In his answers to the young French-
man, Hammet Abou began to make a
favorable Impression on every ono
save the Marquise d'Escllgnac, who
did not understand him. There was
a huge bamboo chair on a dais un-
der a Chinese pagoda, and the Mar-
quise d'Escllgnac took the chair and
sat upright as on a throne. Mlml, who
had Just been fed, came in tinkling
her little bells and fawned at the
sandals on Hammet Abou's bare feet.
After talking with the native. Tre-
mont said to his friends:
"This man says that lf he Joins a
Jewish caravan, which leaves here to-
morrow at Bundown, he will be taken
with these men and leave the city
without suspicion, but he must share
the expenses of the whole caravan.
The expedition will not be without
danger; it must be entered Into with
great subtlety. He Is either," said
Tremont, "an impostor or a remark-
able man."
"He is an impostor, of course,"
murmured the Marquise d'Escllgnac.
"Come here. Mlml."
Tremont went on:
"Further he will not disclose to us.
He has evidently some carefully laid
plan for rescuing Sabron."
There was a pause. Hammet Abou,
his hands folded peacefully across his
breast, waited. Julia Redmond wait-
ed. The Comtesse de la Maine, In
her pretty voice, asked quickly:
"Hut, mes amis, there Is a man's
life at stake! Why do we stand here
talking In the antechamber? Evident-
metal worker, sustained the loss of
an artificial eye.
According to the report received by
the commission a chip from a piece of
steel with which Patrick was work-
ing struck his artificial eye, breaking
the ball and cutting his eye I'd, re
quiring three stitches to close it.
We like compensation to the ex-
tent of a new eye and surgeon's bill,"
Patrick requests in his claim, am: in
all probability he will get it, metu
hers of the commission stated.
Allother uaiideut report received
several days ago was that of a work-
man who fell over a wheelbarrow los

that hi' be given compensation sulll-

habit. His eyes wandered over to ;
corner where the two women stood to-
gether.
"I intend to go wtti yo'i. Hammet
Abou," said he slowly, "if it can b«
arranged. Otherwise this expedition
does not interest me."
Two women said:
"Oh, heavens!" at once.
Robert de Tremont heard the not*
of anxiety In the younger voice alona|
He glanced at the Comtesse de 1M
Maine.
"You are quite right, Madame." he
said, "a msn'n life Is at stake and w*
stand chaffing here I know some-
thing of what the desert Is and what
the natives are. Sabron would be thQ
first tq go If It were a question of a
brothef officer,"
The Marquise d'Escllgnac got down
from her throne, trembling. Her ejci
were fixed upon her niece
"Julia," she begnn. and stopped.
Mndame de la Maine said nothing.
"Robert, you are my godson, and I
forbid It. Your mother—"
"—Is one of the bravest women I
ever knew," snid her godson. "My
father a as a soldier."
Julia withdrew her arm from the
Comtesse de la Maine as though to
leave her free,
"Then you twv girls," said the Mar-
qulBe d'Escllgnac, thoroughly Ameri-
can for a moment, "must forbid him
to go." She fixed her eyes sternly
upon her niece, with a glance of en-
treaty and reproach. Miss Redmond
said In a firm voice:
"In Monsieur de Tremont's esse I
should do exactly what he proposes."
"Hut he Is risking his life," said the
Marquise d'Esclignac. "He Is not evea
an Intimate friend of Monsieur de Sa-
bron !"
Tremont said, smiling:
"You tell us that he has no broth-
er, marralne. Eh blen, I will pass as
his brother."
A thrill touched Julia Redmond's
heart. She almost loved him. If, as
her aunt had said. Sabron had been
out of the question . . .
"Madame do la Maine." said the
Marquise d'EBcllguac, her hands shak-
ing, "I appeal to you to divert this
headstrong young msn from his pur-
poio."
The Comtesse de la Maine was the
palest of the three women. She had
been quietly looking at Tremont and
now a smile crossed her Hps that had
tears back of it—one of those beau-
tiful smiles that mean so much on
a woman's face. She was the only
one of the three who !>nd not yet
spoken. Tremont was waiting for her.
Hammet Abou. with whom he had
been In earnest conversation, was an-
swering his further questions. The
Marquise d'Escllgnac shrugged, threw
up her hands as though she gave up
all questions of romance, rescue and
disappointed love and foolish girls,
and walked out thoroughly wretched.
Mlml tinkling at her heels. The Com-
tesse de la Maine Bald to Julia:
"Ma chere, what were the words of
the English song you sang last night
—the song you told me was a sort of
prayer. Tell me the words slowly,
will you?"
They walked out of the vestibule
together, leaving Hammet Abou au4
Tremont alone.

I past five years there have been sev-

twenty-five years is brought down to
November 1. The weather at present
is ideal for cotton, according to Mr.
Roundtree ami every day of sunshine
means hundreds of bales more.
Mr. Roundtree says that even as
fur south as Paris, Texas, the cotton
movement Is slow yet. but cotton men
are elated over the prospect for a
bumper crop at good prices.
Northern railroad men say that in
their opinion the demand for cotton
seed products, such as cotton seed
neal and cotton seed cake will not be
so great through Ihe cattle feeding

the Immense amount of ouier feed
which is available.

have not found him. Whether this
fellow Is crazy or not, be has a won-
derful hypothesis."
A brilliant look of gratitude crossed
Julia Redmond's face. She glanced
at the Comtesse de la Maine.
"Ah, she's got the heart!" she said
to herself. "I knew It." She crossed
the hall to the Comtesse de la Maine
aud slipped her arm in hers.
"Has Monsieur de Sabron no near
family?"
"No," said the Marquise d'Escllg-
nac from her throne. "He Is one of
those unfamilled beingB who, when
they are once taken Into other hearts
are all the dearer because of their
or|*hane'. state."
Her tone was not unkind. It was
affectionate.
"Now, my good man." she said to
Hammet Abou. in a language totally
Incomprehensible to him, "monay Is
no object In this question, but what
will you do with Monsieur de Sabron
If you find him? He may be an in-
valid. and the ransom will be fabu-
lous."
The Comtesse de la Maine felt the
gUi's arm In hers tremble. Hammet
Abou answered none of these ques-
tions, for he did not understand them.
He said quietly to Tremont:
"The caravan starts tomorrow at
sundown and there is much to do."
Tremont stood pulling hi* mus-
tache. He looked boyish and charm-

Master and Friend.
Pltchoune, who might have been
considered as one of the infinitesimal
atoms In the economy of the universe,
ran over the sands away from hit
master. He was an Infinitesimal dot
on the desert's face. He was only a
small Irish terrier In the hear* of the
Sahara. His little wiry body and his
,color seemed to blend with the dust,
His eyes were dimmed by hunger and
thirst and exhaustion, but there was
the blood of a fighter in him and he
was a thoroughbred. Nevertheless,
he was running away. It looked very
much like It. There was no one to
comment on his treachery; had there
been, Pltchoune would not have run
far.
It was not an ordinary sight to see
on the Sahara—a small Irish terrier
going as fast ss he could.

Rome's Colossal Fish Pond.
The duke of Sermoneta who Is acting
as president of the committee formed
in Rome to promote the Independence
of Poland, ranks among the greatest
landowners In Italy, Eogllano, his es-
tate near the Pontine marshes, extend-
ing to 80,000 teres, mainly under
grass, for the duke owns vast herds of
cattle. The most productive portion
of the estate, however, Is a lake sev-
eral miles long and about a mile In
breadth, which, from the time of the
Roman empire downward, has sup-
plied fish for the market In Rome.
Whenever there Is a flood by rain on
the hills the lake overflows through
a narrow channel into the ea. The
sea fish find their way through Into
the lake, and remain to fatten In the

their return by an Ingenious labyrinth
