CAMILLE OF
MARTINIQUE
BY MA Ry eOOOD
Copyright, 1902, by the
s. s. Mcclure Company

Under the brilliant southern stars the
white camellias cleaned waxlike. Be
tween the glossy leaves a slender fig
ure leaned over the low white wall
that skirted the garden. 1t seemed a
spirit Of the night, that face Swallowed
by dusky hair, gazing down with
troubled eyes into the passionate one
raised to her own.
Camille" he whispered, mia bella.

you do not love me, cruel one"
He seized her hands imperiously as
If to draw her to him. They trembled
In his hot grasp as her voice sighed:
"Filipe, it is you who are cruel. You
Knoxville granpere is so old. He has
none but me. 1t would kill him If |
Should fly with you"
The girls charming patois betrayed
the daughter Of France, while her deep,
mysterious eyes were the heritage of
some Indian beauty-a quadroon girl
but none the less vaunted as the heiress
of old NJ. lie Moyne and the belle of St
Pierre where the color line is but
loosely drawn. Her granpere planned
great things for her when they should
go to Paris in the fall. She was sc
beautiful; prince perhaps, or at least
a count.
And she? She had already given her
heart to the keeping of Filipe, he who
only owned small lugger plying be
tween Martinique and Guadeloupe.
She loved him, and yet she answered
all his prayers with Wait! Filipe
could not understand it. AS the night
wind, perfumed with the scent of q
hundred flowers, caressed her cheek
his heart was suddenly filled with a
passionate jealousy. She was so beau.
tiful, and she loved him alone, and yet
the fates had placed her high above
him. so that, as now, he could barely
touch the tips of her delicate fingers
with his lips. The hot blood of Spain
that lent color to his swarthy cheek
and fire to his dark eye could not brook
such thwarting.
Camille" he cried impetuously, "let
me again implore you! Come with me.

the wreckage on the water. Filipe
had sunk on his knees, as IL fearful of
recognizing a beloved face among
them. But the Santa Maria, driven
on by a sudden breeze, headed straight
for the quay that lay nearest to where
the white wall still showed amid the
stricken garden.
Hardly conscious of having made the
landing, he staggered up the walk and
leaped the wall A groan escaped his
lips There, amid the blackened stems
Of the camellias, lay a body. 1t was
burned to a crisp far beyond recogni-
ton, but the lover could not doubt.
Around was silence, desolation, death.
And here lay Camille.
"She was watching for me-for the
heartless.one," he muttered.
Then sudden fury seized him. Il
shall not leave you here, my flower
one!" he cried. There must be pla ces
on this accursed island still untouched
by fire. 1 will lay you to sleep there
under fragrant blossoms. and then per-
haps the saints will ease me of my
misery"
Stripping off his coat, he wrapped II
tenderly about the body, hiding the
face, and bore it down to the quay.
Again the favoring wind sprang up.
and the Santa Maria crept slowly down
the bay, and still the voice of Pelee
Numbered from the peak wreathed in
forked lightnings. Her ashes fell
ceaselessly on the shrouded figure at
the foot of the mast and on the head
of the pilot. His hands and face were
blackened and burned and his eyes
were blinded by smoke and dust, but
his hand still kept the helm and the
Santa Maria her way.
The DiXie's deck was crowded with
anxious men, for were they not al
ready entering the great zone of ashes
that surrounded the fated island!
Through the gloom came the CLEAN of

FOUNTAIN PEN PERFECTION
The Quaker City Self Filling Pen Fills Itself and
Thereby Fills Long Felt Want
Free Press

Free Press
Any reliable time saver is eagerly
welcomed by the modern business man.
Probably the most forceful illustration
of this condition of things in recent
years was the enthusiasm with which
the fountain pen was greeted. 1t
seemed to mean the saving of so much
time and annoyance for so many people
that it's sale was simply phenomenal.
But the fountain pen was not by any
means perfect and it's users soon dis
covered that the bother was only con-
centrated, instead of being dispensed
with. The finest fountain pen would
write indifferently well as long as there
was ink in it but, when that gave out
our busy man had to stop, unscrew an
inky cap, hunt around for a filler and
the particular ink recommended by the
manufacturers of that particular pen
and so on through a long process of
annoyance.
The manufacturers of the Quaker
City Self-Filling Fountain Pen have
overcome all this bother and produced
a practical writing tool which is as
easy to use as if one were simply writ
ing with the filler needed for the old
pen. There is nothing to unscrew,
nothing to squirt, nothing to lose or get
out of order. It's construction is SIM
pie and substantial and the operation
OF filling 1t so simple that you wonder
nobody thought of it before.
It is merely necessary to dip the pen
pressing 1t slightly, lift up as usual and
go on writing. Its capacity is no less
than the bothersome kind
We feel that we are not over -praising
the Quaker City Self-Filing Fountain
Pen when we say that it represents the
acme of fountain pen achievement.

terrifying than the last. Pelee had
