her grandfather and only relative, is
to be considered, and he will probably
have chosen some one in France for
her."

CHAPTER XIX.
ANNE DE RoHAN sAYs-FARE-
WELL!

WELL!
~ RATION saw Anne de Rohan
- daily after that She kept
her promise, and, touched
by her dependence, he did
the same. Yet not without struggle,
for the effort told on each Of them.
She had ventured into his room timor-
ously the next day, but as he allowed
his love to express itself only through
the medium of his eyes, which drank
in her beauty as the field the rain, shc
had become somewhat reassured, and
had rot hesitated to come to his cham
Der more frequently.
It was lucky for him that her rela-
tive had died before he fell at her door,
and 1t was also fortunate that, uncon-
sciously, the frank freedom Of Anne's
American blood permitted her to do
things to which, as French girl, she
could never have consented. She was
thoroughly French in her emotions
and quite American in her instincts-a
delightful combination indeed.
Meanwhile, under the skilled nurs-
ing he received, aided by sound and
vigorous constitution, he made rapid
progress toward recovery from his
wounds. The first time he sat up in
his chamber Anne happened to be with
him. Jean-Renaud ha6 dressed him
and assisted him to cspacious chair
which was placed near the window
and from which he had clear view
Of the street The little family, by
Anne's orders, had kept close at home,
and the tremendous events which had
eliminated in the surrender Of the
town were as yet unknown to them.
The rain, which had been drearily
pouring down for day or two. had
cleared away, and the September sun
was shining brilliantly outside. The
day was mild, the air balmy, and
Philip sat at the open window drink
ing in the freshness OF the morning.
He looked handsomer than ever to
the girl who stood BY his side. The
unusual pallor of his illness had been
modified and a faint flush Of color
upon his pale cheek told Of returning
health.
There was a blowing Of bugles,
rattling of drums, the sound OF martial
music heard in the street. They
listened. 1t grew louder. Troops were
approaching, ...
Those are not French drums" said
Grafton. "Harki IT'S an English roll!
They are playing the British Grena-
diers! What has happened?
He leaned forward anxiously, but
Anne checked his motion to rise, and
thrust her head out of the window.
Soldiers are approaching" she said.
"Yes," he cried. Their uniforms"
"They wear red coats and shining
caps. They are English. They are
coming nearer. You can see them in
a moment. What can 1t be-"
"'Tis q surrender" cried Philip ex-
ultingly.
"Alas! yes, 1t must be so" answered
the girl, turning toward him.
Forgive my inconsiderate triumph.
Anne" he answered softly, siezing her
hand and carrying 1t to his lips.
She covered her face with her other
hand and the tears trickled silently
down her cheeks. while the advance

condolences, was greatly relieved at

"That will do, Hatfield" remarked
Grafton, with a slight touch Of stern
ness, II hardly contemplate calling

The friendship begun years since
between the two men had ripened into
intimacy-although Hatfield was much
the junior in years as well as rank to
Grafton-and the footing between
them when not on formal service was
one of hearty affection and familiar
intimacy. This was an unusual rela-
tionship between the captain and first
lieutenant Of frigate, yet the younger
man never presumed upon 1t, and the
older man never condescended on ac-
count Of 1t, and no mischance had
arisen.
"And you shall have 1t, Capt. Graf

sively. might I, without presump-
ton, ask the lady's name?" q

Promised Hearty Cooperation of
Law Makers In Fighting Bill.
Local druggists made a personal ap-
peal to Representative P. A. Stovall
and j. Ferris Cam yesterday for the
purpose of securing their enthusiastic
efforts against the passage Of the law
imposing tax of $50 on druggists han
ding patent medicines containing al
cohol. The two gentlemen promised
their full cooperation.
Messages were also sent to legisla-
tors in Atlanta. The bill comes up this
week and Savannah druggists are on
the alert for any possible effort on their
part which will help defeat the bill as
1t now stands. If necessary a delega-
ton of local druggists will go to At
lanta and make a determined resist
ance to the passage of the law.
1t is the opinion of many druggists
that the legislators who voted for the
bill did not realize the full effect of the
law, and in their desire to help the pro-
hlbltion counties the effect on drug
gists of other counties was not CON
sidered.
Druggists cannot tell the formula
of the patent medicines they SELL
said local druggist yesterday, for
that is the secret of the manufacture
