the army was doing, would not do, or
might do, and the fact that the Due
de fremont was to receive the deco
ration of the Legion or Honor in
July. fremont toasted Sabron and
the young officer rose to respond with
flushing face. He looked affection
ately at his friend who had brought
him from death into life. The mo-
ment was intense, and the Marquise
dEsclignac lifted her glass:
Now, gentlemen. you must drink to
the health of Pitchoune."
There was murmur Of laughter,
Madame de la Maine turned to Sab
ron:

choune; it is of African leather set
with real turquoise"
Sabron bowed; "Pitchoune will be
perfectly enchanted, Madame: he will
wear it at your wedding"
Later. when the others had left
them TO themselves in the music
room, Sabron sat in big chair by the
open window and Julia Redmond
played to him. The day was warm.
There was smell of spring flowers
in the air and the vases were filed
with CIRCLES and sweet peas. But
Sabron smelled only the violets in
Julia's girdle. Her hands gently wan
dered over the keys, finding the tune
that Sabron longed to hear. She
played the air through, and 1t seemed
as though she were about to sing the
first verse. She could not do so, nor
could she speak.
Sabron rose and came over to
where she sat
There was low chair near the
piano and he took it, leaning forward,
his hands clasped about his knees.
1t had been the lifelong dream of this
simple-hearted officer that one day he
would speak out his soul to the wom-
an he loved. The time had come.
She sat before him in her unpreten-
tious dress. He was not worldly
enough to know it cost great price,
nor to appreciate that she wore no
jewels-nothing except the flowers he
had sent. Her dark hair was clus-
tered about her ears and her beauti-
ful eyes lost their fire in tenderness.

and her love. II l cannot win her for

He made an expressive gesture which
more impressively than words implied
how completely he laid down every
thing else to her love and his.

Twelfth Night,
No person can say how many vine
gars there are for this condiment, pre-
servative and flavor may be made from
many substances as malt, treaele ami
water. fruit juices and Yeast. and from
what is called mother Of vinegar" 1t
may also be favored with almost any
fruit and with all herbs.
As vinegar plays most important
part in giving pleasant seasoning to
many foods it should be of high quality
and absolute purity. Inferior vinegar
spoils the efforts of the most careful
cook and often does not fulfil its mis-
sion of preserving articles of food as it
should.
Vinegar must not be too acid to the
taste nor may il be so weak as TO be
insipid. As exposure to the air, TO
strong light and 10 intense heat is
harmful to its flavor il should be kept
in unglszed jugs we'll eorked, or in
casks.
The Government standard for vine
car is that its strength shall be such
that one ounce of it shall be neutralired
by thirty-five grains of cooking soda.

time exposed to the action of the air

Mahanoy City, Pa, April 17.-Rus-

salesman, of Philadelphia, is in the
State hospital at Fountain Springs in a
serious condition from an automobile
accident in which his machine plunged
into Mahanoy creek, turned over and
pinned him underneath. He was nearly

But she spoke without knowledge Of
the dog Now feeling that some un.
wonted happiness had suddenly burst
upon the horizon that he knew, Pit
choune seemed suddenly seized with a
rollicking spirit such as had been his
characteristic some years ago. He
tore like mad down the path In front
Of Sabron and Miss Redmond. He
whirled around like a dervish, he

Or fire their camp at dead or night,
And fly before they rally.
Chains are round our country press'd
And towards have betrayal her,
And we must make her bleeding breast

We raise up Greece again,
And write in bloody letters,

And the two walked TRANQUILITY side

Pitchoune ran to the side of the
road, disappeared into little forest
all shot through with light. He came
back. bringing the remains of an old
rubber bali lost there by some other
dog, and laid it triumphantly In front
of Miss Redmond.

The little dog had also an imper.
ceptible limp occasioned by a bicycle
running over him when he was q
puppy.
The two companions seemed i'm.
mensely to enjoy the spring day Sab
ron every now and then stood for a
few moments looking at the gay
passers-by. pedestrians and eques-
trians. enjoying to the full the repose
of civilization. the beauty Of his own
land.
Pitchoune looked with indifference
upon the many dogs. He did not stir
from his masters side. When Sabron
was quiet, the little animal stood at
attention: he was soldiers dog. He
could have told dog stories to those
insignificant worldly dogs could
have told Of really thrilling adven.
lures. His brown eyes were pathetic
with their appeal of affection as they
looked up at his beloved master. He
had fand of experience such as the
poodles and the terriers led by their
owners could not understand. There.
fore Pitchoune was Indifferent to them.
Not one of those petted. ridiculous
house dogs could have run for miles
in the dark across an African desert,
could have found Benz Medinet and
fetched relief to his master. Pitchoune
was proud Of ii. He was very we'll
satisfied with his career. He was
still young; other deeds of valor per.
haps lay before him-who can tell?
At any rate he had been shown about
at the ministry of war, been very
much admired, and he was q proud
animal.
When Sabron spoke to him he leaped
upon him and wagged his tail After
few moments, as the two stood near
the exit of an alice leading to one
of the grand avenues. Pitchoune slowly
went in front of his master and
toward two ladies sitting on bench
in the gentle warmth of the May sun
light. Pitchoune, moved from his
usual indifference. gave a short bark,
walked up to the ladies'. and began
to snuff about their feet. The younger
lady exclaimed. and then Sabron. lift
ing his hat, came forward, the crimson
color beating in his dark tanned
cheeks.
The Marquise d'Esclignac held out
both hands to the officer:
TITS nearly noon." she said, and
you don't forget that you have prom.
ised to lunch with us. do you, Mon
sieur le Capitaine?"
Sabron, bending over her hand. as
sured her that he had not forgotten.
Then his eyes travelled to her COM
panion. Miss Redmond wore a very
simple dress, as was her fashion, but
the young officer from Africa, who had
not seen her near by until now and
who had only caught glimpse Of her
across the opera house. thought that
he had never seen such a beautiful
dress in all his life. II was made of
soft gray cloth and fitted her closely,
and in the lapel of her mannish little
buttonhofe she wore few Parma vio-
lets. He recognized them. They had
come from a bunch that he had sent
her the night before. He kissed her
hand, and they stood talking together,
