She was dead. Her death had been the darkest pas sage in his life in Africa-but the 1 flutelike music of her voice seemed to come on his ear now. This girl sol dier had little charm for him after the sweet, silent, tender grace of his lost Zelme.
 He turned and touched on the shoul- der chasseur who had paused q mo- ment to get breath in the headlong whirl.

 He went thoughtfully out of the noisy, reeking ballroom into the warm luster of the Algerian night. As he went, Cigarette, who had been nearer than he knew, flashed full in his eyes the fury of her own sparkling ones, while with contemptuous laugh she struck him across the lips with the cigar she hurled at him.

 She had danced the cancan; she had danced since sunset; she had danced till she had tired cN>t cavalrymen who could go days and nights in the saddle without a sense of fatigue and made spahis cry quarter who never gave it by any chaEce in the battlefield, and she was dancing now like q little Bac- chante, as fresh as if she had just sprung up from long summer day. $ rest.
 Marshals had more than once essay ed to bribe the famous little Friend of the Flag to dance for them and had failed, but for 8 set of soldiers, war worn, dust covered. weary with toll and stiff with wounds, she would do it till they forgot their ills and got as in toxicafed with it as with champagne. And she was dancing, for them now. All her heart was in it-that heart of a girl and a soldier, of a hawk and q kit ten, of a Bohemian and an epicure, of a lascar and a child, which beat so brightly and so boldly under the dainty gold aglets with which she laced her dashing little uniform.
 So she danced now in the cabaret of group of spectators, not one of whom knew how to hold himself back from springing in to seize her in his arms and whirl with her down the floor. But it had been often told them by eXperi- ence that unless she beckoned one out a blow of her clinched hand and a ces- sation of her impromptu dance would be the immediate result. Her specta- tors were renowned fire eaters, men whose names rang like trumpets in the ear of Kabyle and marabout, men who had fought under the noble colors of the day of Mazagran or had cherished or emulated it's traditions, men who had the salient features of all the va ried species that make up the soldiers of Africa.
 And every now and then her bright eyes would flash over the ring of fa- miliar faces and glance from them with an impatient disappointment as she danced. Her big babies were not enough for her. She wanted chas- seur with white hands and a grave smile to be among them, and she shook back her curls and flushed angrily as she noted his absence and went on with the pirouettes, the circling flights, the wild, resistless abandonment of her inspirations, till she was like des- ert hawk that is intoxicated with the scent of prey borne down upon the wind and wheeling like mad thing in the transparent ether and the hot sun glow.
 He was in the house., she knew It. Had she seen him drinking with some others, or rather paying for all, but taking little himself, just as she en- tered? He was in the house, this mys- terious Bel-a-faire-peur, and was not here to see her dance!
 He was leaning over the little wood en ledge of narrow window in an in ner room, from which one by one some spahis and some troopers of his own squadron, with whom he had just been drinking such burgundies and brandies l as the place could give, had sloped away one by one under the irresistible attraction of the viyandiere.

Poor old Tolstoil excommunicated
expawiated Yet, though age has
broken him, his mind is as strong
and his heart as sound as when he first
began to write his remarkable novels
His has been strange career, marked
by evolution along every line. He be-
gan political life as a supporter Of the
autocfacy of the Russian Government
and has ended in vague dream which
deiics classification, but which may be
termed socialism.
In early years he was a devout sup.
porter OF the Greek Church, but step
by step he diverged from her teaching
until inhis old age she accommodated
him. In literature, the novel first en-
gagged his attention, but in later years
while. to an extent he has followed
that fern Of literature yet his produc-
tions have been intended primarily as
dissertations on social and religious
problems.
In early years he lived on his flne
estate. receiving it's revenues. and liv-
ing in a state becoming his title. In
later years he has labored in the field
and many a pilgrim has failed to iiGd

plowman. For some years he has held
the theory that every person should
earn by manual labor his daily bread
In either his social, literary or re
hgious views he has few followers
They constitute the work OF a pioneer
and need countless notifications anc
additions They are analytic rathel

accept his religious views, since they
deny much that is dear to most rellg'

preston OF the broadest charity. and

the doctrine of the trinity, and sacra
mental exercises. Yet all will love anC
admire the aged philosopher for his
simple piety, and for the courage
which few possess, of living his relig

who, like most sages, points our th'
path at whose end truth lies.
His IDEAS OF government are to,

ideal conditions. because of ideal citi
