in stable. Of mother who had been

OF the regiment.
Pitchoune was a worthy son He
adored the drums and trumpets. He
adored the fife. He adored the drills
which he was accustomed to watch
from respectable distance. He liked
Brunei. and the word had not yet been
discovered which would express how
he felt toward Monsieur le Capitaine,
his master His muscular little form
expressed It in every fiber. His brown
eyes looked it until their pathos might
have melted a heart Of iron.
There was nothing picturesque to
Pitchoune In the Chateau d'Esclignac
or in the charming room to which he
was brought. The little dog took a
flying tour around 1t. over sofas and
chairs. landing on the window.seat,
where he crouched. He was not
wicked. but he was perfectly mIser-
able. and the lovely wiles Of Julia Red
mond and her endearments left him
unmoved. He refused meat and drink,

"Ah!" breathed Miss Redmond in
differently.
She slowly went over to her piano
and played few measures of music
that were torture to Pitchoune, who
found these ladylike performances in
strong contrast to drums and trumpets.
He felt himself as a soldier degraded
and could not understand why he
should be relegated to salon and to
the mild society of two ladies who
did not even know how to pull his ears

riding boots and spurs. He sat against

watching, yearning.

Princeton Students Meant Well, but
Evidently It Was Not Their

One night not long ago four Prince

two bellies of the town. Arrived at
the house of the fair ones, they took
their stand under the correct window,
as they thought, and for some time
made the night more or less melodi-

"Pitchoune, mon vieux! No, 1t can't

And Sabron took him up in his arms.
The dog tried to lick his face.

Sabron put his hand in his pocket

eager to participate in any distribution

found two gold pieces which he put

its sweetness and its sorrow. fell be-
hind, as he rolled away to brighter
suns. A friend from Paris took him to
the port in his motor and there Sabron
waited some forty-eight hours before
he set sail. His boat lay out on the
azure water, the brown rocks Of the
coast behind it. There was not q
breeze to stir as he took the tug which
was to convey him. He was inclined
to dip his fingers in the indigo ocean,
sure that he would find them blue.
He climbed up the ladder alongside of
the vessel. was welcomed by the cap
tain, who knew him, and turned to go
below, for he had been suffering from
an attack of fever which now and then
laid hold Of him, ever since his cam
paign in Morocco.
Therefore, as he went into his cabin,
which he did not leave until the steam
er touched Algiers, he failed to see
the baggage tender pull up and failed
to see a sailor climb to the deck with
wet bedraggled thing in his hand
that looked like an old fur cap except
that it wriggled and was alive.
This, mon commandant," said the
sailor to the captain, "is the pluckiest
little beast I ever saw"
He dropped a small terrier on the
deck, who proceeded to shake himself
vigorously and bark with apparent de-
light.
"No sooner had we pushed out from
the quay than this little beggar sprang
from the pier and began to swim after
US. He was so funny that we let him
swim for bit and then we hauled him
in. It is evidently mascot, mon COM
