CHAPTER VI.
Ordered Away.

He had received his letter from the
minister of war. Like many things
we wish for, set our hopes upon, when
they come we find that we do not want
them at any price. The order was un.
welcome. Sabron was to go to AL.
giers.
Winter is never very ugly around
Tarascon. Like lovely bunch of fruit
in the brightest corner Of a happy
vineyard, the Midi Is sheltered from
the rude experiences that the seasons
know farther north. Nevertheless,
rains and winds, sea-born and Wig
orous, had swept in and upon the lit
tie town. The mistral came whis-
thing and Sabron, from his window,
looked down on his little garden from
which summer had entirely flown. Pit
choune, by his side, looked down as
well, but his expression, different from
his masters, was ecstatic, for he saw
sliding along the brick wall, cat with
which he was on the most excited
terms. His body tense, his ears for
ward, he gave sharp series of barks
and little soft growls, while his
master tapped the window-pane to the
tune of Miss Redmond's song.

Is very clever woman, asked me with
interest and sympathy, who your very
sick friend could be. AS no one was

told her so. She seemed triumphant
and / saw at once that l had put you
in the wrong"
1t would have been simple to have
explained to the colonel, but Sabron,
reticent and reserved, did not choose
to do so. He made very insufficient
excuse, and the colonel, as we'll as the
ma-quise. thought i'll of him. He
learned later with chagrin, that his
friends were gone from the Midi.
Rooted to the spot himself by his du-
ties, he could not follow them. Mean
while Pitchoune thrived, grew, cheered
his loneliness, jumped over a stick,
learned trick or two from Brunei and
great many fascinating wiles and
ways, no doubt inherited from his
moth He had sense of humor

looked amused. She smiled.
1T was question of life and death,
wasn't it?" she said eagerly to Sabron
Really, 1t was just that" answered
the young officer, not knowing how
significant the words were to the tive
ladies'.
Then Madame d'Esclignac knew that
she was beaten and that she owed
something and was ready to pay. The
chauffeur got upon his seat and she
asked suavely:
Won't you let us take you home
Monsieur Sabron?"
He thanked them. He was walking
and had not finished his exercise.
AT all events" she pursued, nov
that your excuse is no longer q good
one, you will come this week to din
ner. will you not?"
He would. of course, and watched
the yellow motor drive away in the
autumn sunlight, wishing rather less
for the order from the minister of wal
to change his quarters than he had
before.

CHAPTER ~,
The Dog Pays.


Pitchoune repaid what was given
him.
He did not think that by getting
well. reserving the right for the rest
OF his life to distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-
quately to return. He followed Sab
ron like shadow and when he could
not follow him, took his place on a
chair in the window, there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the
uniform he knew and admired extrav-
agantly.
Pitchoune was thoroughbred and
every muscle and fiber showed it,
every hair and point asserted it, and
he loved as only thoroughbreds can.

grel attachments, the thoroughbred in

Burying the High Cost of Living

1t is not possible to estimate the
value of food raised in kitchen gar
dens but it is safe to say that well
kept garden will materially lower the
cost of provisions. 1t has been esti-
mated by government experts that one
half acre of ground planted with garden
crops will easily yield family one
hundred dollars worth of vegetables at
the end of the year. There is more to
be considered in the making and having
of garden than is at first apparent /;
the fact that the vegetables can be Sc
cured at moments notice is important
but that they are always fresh, that
they give a variety of food and that a
kitchen garden interests the entire fam
lily is the greatest consideration.
Few city dwellers can have as much
as half an acre to cultivate but it is
wonderful how intense cultivation and
careful use of fertilizer will enable one
to grow a quantity of food stuff in a
very small space.
Success depends much upon knowing
what, when and where to plant 1t is
true economy to buy the very best seeds
from reliable sources; radishes, lettuce,
beets, spinach, tomatoes, peas, cucum-
bers, sweet corn and onions may be all
you have room for. They will all grow
thriftily if rightly planted and given a
fair chance.
For planting table write to Agricul-
tural Department Washington, D.. c.,
and ask for bulletin number 255. This
help contains suggestions that the anna
teur will appreciate and the experienced
gardener enjoy.

Going from the house into the garden
