CHAPTER XII.
The News From Africa.

II took the better part of three eve
nings to answer her letter, and the
writing Of it gave Sabron a vast
amount Of pleasure and some tender
sorrow. 1t made him feel at once 30
near to this lovely woman and at once
so far away. In truth there is a great
difference between a spahi on an Az
rican desert, and a young American
heiress dreaming in her chintz-covered
bedroom in chateau in the Midi OF
France.
Notwithstanding, the young Ameri-
can heiress felt herself as much alone

Sabron's letter told her of Pitchoune
and was written as only the hand of a

heart and his reserve made what he

tears at the end, where Sabron said:

1t proved a heavy weight against Julia
Redmond's heart. She could, indeed,
speak the words of the song, and did,
and they rose as nightly prayer for
a soldier on the plains; but she could
not keep her mind and thoughts at
rest. She was troubled and unhappy !;
she grew pale and thin; she pinned
more than Pitchoune had pinned, and
she, alas could not break her chains
and run away.
The Due de fremont was a con-
slant guest at the house, but he found
the American heiress very capricious
and uncertain lady, and Madame DIES

NOBODY WANTS IT.
City Commissioners Try to Sidestep
the North Topeka Pump.

Frank Newland, city commissioner
of water and lighting. is of the opin-
ion that his fellow commissioners are
plotting against him. They threaten
to wish upon him the responsibility
of the North Topeka sewer pump.
This was passed" to Porter when
Porter first took Office and was mex
perienced. No one is able to explain
why the commissioner of parks should
be charged with the burden of look
ing after a sewer.
Newland contends that w. G. Tandy,
city commissioner of streets, is the
correct custodian of the North Topeka
sewers and also contends that Tandy,
who is of elongated frame, is built
right to descend into the narrow hole
of the valve trap, which would be an
impossi bility for one of Newland'S ro-
tund figure.
Tandy comes back at Newland with
the argument that Newland knows all
about pumps and keeps expert pump
men and electricians employed in his
department.

Hundreds of Children Partici-

First HOnOrs Won by the Lin

The first big doll parade for To-
peka, held on the state house grounds
late Friday in which hundreds of
playground children participated, at
tracted much attention.
The Lincoln playground won first
honors for attractiveness of display.
Quincy came second and Chesney
Park third.
There were dolls in great variety
and doll turnouts. The latter were
particularly elaborate in the division
-Lincoln-that took first place, the
children having decorated the doll car
riages on the playground. The turn
out that won first prize was preten-
uouS in the extreme. 1t was entered
by Charlotte ConweN of the Quincy
grounds
There was a great deal of work done
by the youngsters in preparation for
the event. Many of the doll dresses
were made by the children and some
of the needlework was exceedingly
well done.
Many of the dolls were home made.
George May of the East Side, who
won second prize in the odd doll class,
entered a mechanical doll of his own
making. Through manipulation it
performed acrobatic stunts. Two dolls
in bath tub attracted much atten-

The mother of the children-boys,

father is not in a position to hire some
one to take care of the children while
he is at work-at least not until fall.
He works from noon until midnight
