his correspondence. Among the let
tiers was an invitation from the Mar

ried to Frenchman, and the great
lady Of the country thereabouts.
"Will you not" she wrote, come to
dine with US on Sunday? have my
niece with me. She would be glad to
see French soldier. She has ex-
pressed such wish. She comes from
a country where soldiers are rare. We
dine at eight"
Sabron looked at the letter and its
fine clear handwriting. It's wording
was less formal than a French invita-
ton is likely to be, and 1t gave him
a sense of cordially. He had seen.

The shaded portions of this map
show the territory demanded Of Aus
tria by Italy as the price of her neu-
trality. The small map shows the is
lands along the Dalmatian coast, which
Italy also wants. What Is commonly
referred to in the dispatches as Trent
and Trieste stand in the italian mind
for more territory south of line
drawn in the Rhaetain Alps where
Italy, Switzerland and Austria meet,
eastward to the Carnic Alps and then
southwark along the Julian Alps and
again eastward so as to include Flume.
The first part of the territory forms
wedge penetrating Italy between Lom-
hardy and Venetia and cutting Lake
Garda, while the second includes the
peninsula of Istria and runs north to
the Julian Alps between the Taglia-
mento and the Save rivers. The terri
tory indicated is called "Unredeemed
Italy" Qtalia Irredenta) because it all

same reasons the Dalmatian islands
are also considered to be part of
Italia Irredenta." Although the city
Of Trent indicates to foreign readers
the entire wedge, this wedge is known
in Italy as the Trentino because the
whole region once formed the Roman
colony of Tridentini, which in 1927
passed under the rule of bishop and
then, after various changes came
under the rule of Austria, together with
Lombardy and Venetia. After the de-
feat Of Austria in 1859 by Piedmont
and France and even after Piedmont
had taken over Lombardy and the
kingdom Of Italy had been formed in
1851 Austria continued to hold Venetia

ture.
Their welcome to him was gracious.
The American girl spoke French with
an accent that Sabron thought be-
wilderingly charming, and he put aside
some Of his reserve and laughed and
talked at his ease. After dinner (this
he remembered with peculiar distinct
ness) Miss Redmond sang Tor him, and
although he understood none Of the
words Of the English ballad, he learned
the melody by heart and 1t followed
with him when he left. It went with
him as he crossed the terrace into the
moonlight to mount his horse; 1t went
home with him; he hummed It, and
when he got up to his room he hummed
1t again as he bent over the little roll
Of flannel In the corner and fed the
puppy hot milk from quill.
This was . painstaking operation
and required patience and delicacy,
both Of which the big man had at his
finger-tips. The tune Of Miss Red
mond's song did for lullaby and the
puppy fell comfortably to sleep while
Sabron kept the picture Of his eve
ning's outing contentedly in his mind.
But later he discovered that he was
not so contented, and counted the
hours when he might return.
He shortly made call at the Cha
teau d'Esclignac with the result that
he had new picture to add to his col
lection. This time 1t was the picture
Of a lady alone; the Marquise d'Es-
clignac doing tapestry. While Sabron
found that he had grown reticent
again, he listened for another step and
another voice and heard nothing; but
before he took leave there was a hint
of second invitation to dinner.
The Imarquise was very handsome
that afternoon and wore yet another
bewildering dress. Sabron's simple
taste was dazzled. Nevertheless, she
made a graceful picture, one of beau
ty and refinement, and the young SOL
der took it away with him. AS his
horse began to trot, at the end Of the
alley, near the poplars at the lower
end Of the rose terrace he caught a
glimpse of white dress Undoubtedly
simpler dress than that worn by
Madame d Esclignac).
