CHAPTER XIII.
Friends.


At seven o'clock that morning the
men in the circus camp awoke, wor-
ried. fatigued, vaguely resentful. un.
usually profane.
BY eight o'clock miraculous change
had taken place: the camp was alive
with scurrying people, galvanized into
hopeful activity by my possibly I'M
warranted optimism and a few judi
ciously yelled threats.
Clothed with temporary authority
by Byram, took the bit between my
teeth and ordered the instant erection
of the main tents, the construction of
the ring, barriers and benches, and the
immediate renovating of the portable
tank in which poor little Miss Claridge
had met her doom.
By the standing-stones of Carnac, l
swore that I'd have all Finistere in the
tent. Governor" said 1, I'VE are 60
ing to feature Jacqueline all over Brit.
tany, and, if the ladies object, it can't
be helped! By-the-way, do they OBJ
ject?"
The ladies did object. otherwise they
would not have been human ladies';
but the battle was sharp and decisive,
for 1 was desperate.
1T simply amounts to this" I said:
"Jacqueline pulls us through or the
governor and I land in JAIL AS for you
heaven knows what will happen to
you! Penal settlement, probably"
And 1 called Speed and pointed at
Jacqueline, sitting on her satchel
watching the proceedings with amiable
curiosity.
Speed, take that child and rehearse
her"
Speed took Jacque1ine by the hand
and together they entered the big
white tent.

Col DS
An up-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
80 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
q dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

CHAPTER XI.
In Camp.

In Camp.
We went into camp under the land
ward glacis of the cliffs, in field OF
clover which was to be plowed under
in few days. We all were there ex-
cept Kelly Eyre, who had gone to tele-
graph the governor Of Lorient for per-
mission to enter the port with the cir
Gus. Another mess enger also left camp
on private business for me.
Presently we were all sitting around
the long camp-table in the glare of two
smoky petroleum torches, eating our
bread and ham and potatoes and drink
ing Breton cider jug Of which Mr..
Koran had purchased for a few cop
pers.~
The hard cider cheered Byram lit
tie; he drew a cherished cigar from
his vest pocket, offered it to me, and
when l considerably refused, he care
fully set it alight with splinter from
the fire. It's odor was indescribable.
Byram appeared to have recovered
something of his buoyancy and native
optimism.
Gentlemen he said, "lets kinder
saunter over to the inn and have a
night-cap with Kelly Eyre"
The lighted door of the inn hung
Rjar as we crossed the star-lit square;
Byram entered and stood a moment in
the doorway, stroking his chin. Bong
joor the company" he said, lifting his
battered hat.
The few Bretons In the wineroom re-
turned his civjlity; he glanced about
and his eye fell on Kelly Eyre, Speeds
assistant balloonist, seated by the win
dow with Koran.
We'll, gents" said Byram, hopefully,
IAN what aiYs the prospects of smilin'
fortune whEn rosy-fngered dawn has

Rotten" said Eyre, pushing a tele-
gram across the oak table.
Byram's face fell; he picked up the
telegram and fumbled in his coat for
his spectacles with unsteady hand.
Let me read it, governor" said
Speed, and took the blue paper from
Byram's unresisting, stubby fingers.
"Oho!" he muttered. scanning the
message; 'well-well, it's not so bad
as all that"
wen. sir?" said Byram, in low
voice.
well, governor? Oh-er-the tele-
gram?" asked Speed, like a man fight
ing for time.

We'll. you see they have just heard
Of the terrible smash-up in the north,
governor. Metz has surrendered with
Bazaine's entire army. And they're
naturally frightened at Lorient :.
And we'll &. they won't
let us pass the Notifications"
Wont let us in?" cried Byram,
hoarsely.
I'm afraid not, governor"
Byram stared at us. We had count
ed on Lorient to pull US through as Ear
as the frontier.
Nov don't take 1t SO hard, gov
ernor," said Kelly Eyre; IT was fright

Of 1t now. Wen pull through, any

We'll drum MP the whole district from
Pontivy to Array and from Penmarch
Point to PlorAarnel! Why should the
Breton peasAntry not come? Don't
they walk miles to the Pardons?"
A gray pallor settled on Byram's
sunken face; with it came q certain
dignity which sorrow sometimes
brings even to men like him.
Young gentlemen" he said. I'm
obliged to you. These here reverses
come to everybody, l guess. The Lord
knows beat; but If he'll just femme

After painful silence he rose,

Inc SaHrOn light in the room was
turning pink when Jacqueline reap
peared on the threshold in her ragged
skirt and stained velvet bodice half
laced, with the broken points hanging,
carrying an armful of driftwood.
Without word she went to work
SO swiftly that the pink light had
scarcely deepened to crimson when
the poacher, laying the gun tenderly
in the blankets of Jacqueline's tumbled
bed, came striding back to the table
where sea-trout smoked on cracked
platter, and a bowl of bread and milk
stood before each place.
We ate silently. Ange Pitou, the
yellow cat, came around with tail in
fiated. There were fishbones enough to
crafty any cat, and Ange Pitou made
short work of them.
The poacher rose, wiped his mouth
with the back of his hand, and made
straight for his new gun.
You two" he said, with q wave of
his arm, you settle it among your
selves. He touched his beret TO me,
der, and walked away.
Jacqueline placed the few dishes in
a pan Of hot water, wiped her fingers.
daintily, and picked up Ange Pitou.
"Show me the swimming suit" she
said, shyly.
I drew it out of the satchel and laid
it across my knees.
ooh, it has little tail behind-like
a fish," she cried. enchanted. II shall
look like the silver grilse of Quinn
perle!"
do you think you can swim in those
scales?" I asked.
Swim? I-Jacqueline? Attended,
I'm peu-you shall see!"
She opened her arms; the cat sprang
to the doorstep and vanished.
Jacqueline looked at the swimming
suit, then at me. will you go down
to the beach, M'sieu Scarlett?"
But ] had not traversed half the
strip Of rock and hard sand before
something flew pasta slim, glittering
shape which suddenly doubled up,
Strengthened again, and fell headlong
into the laundering surf.
After long, long while, far out on
the water she rose, floating.
Tossed back once more upon the
beach like an opalescent shell, JAG
queline, ankle-deep in foam, looked out
across the flaming waters, her
drenched hair dripping.
"Look!" she cried, f1inging her arms
above her head, and dropped into
space, falling like a star, down, down
into the shallow sea. Far below saw
a streak of living light shoot through
the water-on, on, closer to the sur
face now, and at last she fairly sprang
into the air, quivering like gated sal
mon, then fall back to float and clear
her blue eyes from her tangled hair.
Presently she climbed to the sun
warmed hillock of sand and sat down
beside me to dry her hair.
Ange Pitou, coveting a warm sun
bath in the sand, came wandering
along pretending not to see us; but
Jacqueline dragged him into her arms
for a hug, which lasted until Ange
Pitou broke loose, tail hOisted but ears
deaf to further f1attery.
So Jacqueline chased Ange Pitou
back across the sand and up the rocky
path.
"Come to the net-shed, If you
pleased" she called back to me, point
ing to a crazy wooden structure built
above the house.
AS 1 entered the net-shed the child
was dragging pile of sea-nets to the
middle of the floor
"In case fall" she said. coolly.
