Happiness.

Happiness.
lie Comte de Sabron finished his
dressing.
Brunei surveyed his master from
the tip of his shining boots to his
sleek, fair head. His expressive eyes
said: Monsieur lie Capitaine is looking
well tonight"
Brunei had never before given his
master direct compliment. His eyes
only had the habit of expressing ad-
miration, and the manner in which
he performed his duties, his devotion,
were his forms of compliment. But
Sabron's long illness and absence, the
fact that he had been snatched from
death and given back to the army
again, leveled between servant and
master the impossible wall OF ETH
quette.
There will be a grand dinner to-
night will there not, Monsieur lie
Capitaine? Doubtless Monsieur le
Colonel and all the gentlemen will be
there" Brunei made a comprehen-
sive gesture as though he comprised
the entire etat major.
Sabron, indeed, looked well. He
was thin, deeply bronzed by the ex-
posture on the yacht, for he and Ire
mont before returning to France had
made long cruise. Sabron wore the
look OF a man who has come back
from a far country and is content
And never shall forget to the end
of my days how Monsieur lie Capitaine
looked when | met the yacht at Mar
seillesi"
Brunei spoke reverently, as though
he were chronicling sacred souvenirs.
Il said to myself, you are about to
welcome back a hero, Brunetl Mon
sieur lie Capitaine will be as weak as
a child. But l was determined that
Monsieur lie Capitaine should not read
my feelings, however great my emo
ton"
Sabron smiled. At no time in his
simple life did Brunei ever conceal
the most trifling emotion-his simple
face revealed all his simple thoughts.
Sabron said heartily: Your control
was very fine, indeed"
Instead of seeing a sick man, Mon
sieur lie Capitaine, a splendid-looking
figure, with red cheeks and bright

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 dEsclignac held out
both hands to the officer:
It's nearly noon," she said, "and
you don't forget that you have prom
Used to lunch with us, do you, Mon
sieur lie 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. 1t was made of
soft gray cloth and fitted her closely,
and in the lapel of her mannish little
buttonhole she wore few Parma VIC
let's. He recognized them. They had
come from bunch that he had sent
her the night before. He kissed her
hand, and they stood talking together,
the three of them, for a few moments,
Pitchoune stationing himself as a SEN
tinel by Miss Redmond's side.
The Marquise d'Esclignac rose. The
young girl rose as well, and they
walked on together.
Mes enfants," said the Marquise
d'Esclignac, don't go with your usual
rush, Julia. Remember that Monsieur
de Sabron is not as strong as Her
cules yet. l will follow you with
Pitchoune"
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 q
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 dervish, he
dashed across the road in front OF
automobiles, dashed back again
springing upon his master and whin.
ing at the girls feet.
"See," said Sabron, how happy he
is"
Il should think he would be happy
He must have a knowledge of what
an important animal he is. Just
think! If he we're a man they would
give him decoration"
And the two walked TRANQUILITY side
by side.
Pitchoune ran to the side of the
road, disappeared into a little forest
all shot through with light. He came
back, bringing the remains of an old
rubber ball lost there by some other
dog, and laid 1t triumphantly in front
of Miss Redmond.
"See," said Sabron, "he brings you
his trophies"

CHAPTER XVII.
valor in RETROSPECT.

In the month of May, when the
chestnuts bloom in the green dells,
where the delicate young foliage
holds the light as in golden cups, a
young man walked through one of the
small allees of the Bots at the fash
ionable noon hour, little reddish dog
trotting at his heels. The young man
walked with an imperceptible limp.
He was thin, as men are who have
lived hard and who have overcome
tremendous obstacles. He was tanned
as men are Drowned who have come
from eastern and extreme southern
countries.
The little dog had also an imper-
oeptible limp occasioned by bicycle
running over him when he was a
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-
TRANS, 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 a 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 a fund 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 it. He was very well
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 proud
animal.
When Sabron spoke to him he leaped
upon him and wagged his tail. After
a 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

Congratulations.

The Due de fremont saw what
splendid stun the captain in the -
Cavalry was made OF by the young
mans quick convalescence. Sabron
could not understand why Robert lin
gered after the departure of the Mar
quise d'Esclignac, the Comtesse de la
Maine and Miss Redmond. The pres
ence Of the young man would have
been agreeable If 1t had not been for
his jealousy and his unhappiness.
They played piquet together. Sab
ron, in his right mind, thinner and
paler. nevertheless very much OF a
man, now smoked his cigarettes and
ate his three meals day. He took a
walk every day and was quite At to
leave the Orient. fremont said:
II think, Sabron, that we can sail
this week"
Sabron looked at him questioningly.
You are going, then, too"
"Of course" said the young noble
man heartily. I'VE are going together.
You know l am going to take you
back in my yacht"
Sabron hesitated and then said:
mo, mon vieux, If you will excuse
me | think l shall remain faithful to
the old line of travel have an idea
that l am not in yachting trim"
fremont was not too dull to have
noticed his friends change of attitude
toward him. He smoked for a few
moments and then said:
when we get back to Paris want
to have the pleasure of introducing
you to my flancee."
Sabron dropped his cards
Introducing mel" he repeated
Then putting out his hand, said cor
daily: Il knew you we're to be felici-
tated, old fellow"
fremont shook his hand warmly.
Yes, and the lady is very anxious
to know you. 1t is Madame de la
Maine"
A very warm color flushed the
cheeks Of the invalid. He remem-
bered all he had heard and all he had
known. He congratulated his friend
with sincere warmth, and after few
moments said:
IF you really want me to go back
with you on the yacht, old chap"
Il really do" said fremont Sc
renely. You see, when we came on
the boat we scarcely hoped to be so
fortunate as to bring back the distin-
gushed captain"
Sabron smiled.
But you have not told me yet" he
said, why you came down"
No" said fremont, that is true.
Well, 1t will make a story for the
sea"

Major Riddle OF Atlantic City re-
sponded at a recent dinner to a toast
to the summer girl
There's lot of false oynicism de-
voted to the summer girl" he said.
She IL made out to be very worldly
and sophisticated, but. as matter Of
fact, the average summer girl is as
innocent as q little child.
But most people would have us be-
lieve that that was typical summer
girl to whom a young man said on the
beach In the moonlight:
You are not the first girl I've
kissed by any manner of means, you
know"
The summer girls lip curlod.
And at that she answered, you've
still got q lot to learn"

GREAT NEED TO STOP WASTE
Lesson That Should Be Impressed
on America by the FrIghtfuI
War In Europe.

Waste is the crime of today, and 1t
is especially the great crime of this
awful war: waste in human life, in
hope, In love- and in the common
savings OF us all. Millions of dollars
worth OF the savings of the people OF
this earth, all of them our brothers
and our sisters, are daily burned up,
exploded, and wasted in the madness
OF the nations; and even that Is a
trife when we compare it to the great
human value of the lives that are
lost. 1t Will not make any people
rich; and we Americans, rarely fortu-
nate in not being involved In the aw-
full strife, shall find Cur part of the
burden to bear. Some time the war
will be over, and then waste must
stop; it must stop If we are to ad-
vance in humanity and civilization
over and beyond the yawning gap
made by the lust of blood, pride Of
race, and the vanity of kings. The
war has been in progress but little
while and already the cost OF it is be-
ing borrowed from future generations;
extra hard labor and sweat must
come from infants now at their
mothers breasts. to make good this
debauch of blood and fire. And in
the very measure that we waste is the
sentence at hard labor upon the ris-
ing generation prolonged. We cannot
get out of 1t by being American the
debt Is upon us, in unequal measure
II is true. but the debt, the. obligation
to make up the losses. is upon us all

thority that Lord Fisher, first sea lord
at the admiralty, makes habit of go

air OF one who comes back from a vic
tory No one would have ever be-
heved that Monsieur lie Capitaine had
been rescued from captivity"
Brunet's curiosity was very strong
and as far as his master was con-
cerned he had been obliged to crush
1t down. To himself he was saying:
Monsieur lie Capitaine is on the eve
of some great event. When Will he

moment holding the razor-strop be-
tween his teeth, then taking the
clothes brush in his little grip. He
was saying to himself: Il hope in
the name Of rats and cats my master
Is not going out without mel"
Brunei was engaged to be married
to the kitchen maid of the Marquise
dEsclignac. ORDINANCES and soul

matrimonial affairs so easily az are

servant, his simple face raised to his
masters. Il am going to be mar.

laughed heartily.

ing herr"
When one Is the eldest Of wild
ow," said Brunei with a sigh, and
the eldest of ten children"
The clock struck the quarter. Sab
ron knew the story of the widow and
ten children by heart
Is the taxi at the door,"
Yes, Monsieur lie Capitaine."
Pitchoune gave sharp bark.
You are not invited" said his mas
ter cruelty, and went gayly out, his
sword hitting against the stairs.
The Marquise dEsclignac gave a
brilliant little dinner to the colonel
Of Sabron's squadron. There were
present general or two, several men
of distinction, and among the guests
were the Due de fremont and Madame
de la Maine. Sabron, when he found
himself at table, looked at everything
as though in dream. Julia Redmond
sat opposite him. He had sent her
flowers and she wore them in her
bodice. Madame de la Maine bent
upon the young officer benignant eyes,
the Due de fremont glanced at him
afrectionately, but Sabron was only
conscious that Julias eyes did not
meet his at all.
They talked of Sabron's captivity,
of the engagement in Africa, of what
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
d'Esclignac lifted her glass:
Now, gentlemen, you must drink to
the health of Pitchoune."
There was a murmur of laughter.
Madame de la Maine turned to Sab
ron:
i have had collar made for Pit
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"
