magnetfcally drawn by her thoughts,
into song which she played softly
through. Pitchoune heard and turned
ms beautiful head and his soft eyes to
her. He knew that tune. Neither
drums nor trumpets had played it, but
there was no doubt about it's being fit
Tor soldiers. He had heard his master
sing 1t, hum it, many times. It had
soothed his nerves when he was a sick
puppy and it went with many things
of the intimate life with his master.
He remembered it when he had dozed
by the fire and dreamed of chasing
cats and barking at Brunei and being
a faithful dog all around; he heard

Pltchoune whined and softly jumped
down from his seat. He put his fore
paws on Miss Redmonds lap. She
stopped and caressed him, and he
licked her hand.

Indeed Pitchoune did go to the door
and waited appealingly.

d'Esclignac. HE is a real little saw

Miss Redmond opened the door and
Pitchoune shot out. She watched him
tear like mad across the terrace, and
scuttle into the woods, as she thought,
after rabbit. He was the color of
the fallen leaves and she lost sight
of him In the brown and golden brush.

Of his studies. Williams holds the
record for hurdling and if contest
is ever put on for circling the bases
he will surely be hard to beat. The
other day he scored from second base
on the squeeze play.
Williams is not entirely a stranger
to National league patrons, but it was
not until 1915 that he was given a
steady position On the Cubs and has
been batting over the 800 mark, and
some of his drives are the talk of the
western half of the old circuit.
During the training trip he made
eight home run drives, most Of them
over the outf1eld fences of the vari-
Gus parks in the South. Recently he
made the longest drive in the history
of the new ball park at Cincinnati at
the expense of Leon Ames, and there
were two men on base at the time. In
playing the outfeld the work Of Will
liams has been unusually spectacular.
People have sat in their seats and
fairly gasped at some of his unexpect-
ed catches. He covers so much ground
that nothing seems impossible for him
to accomplish in the line of catch
ing flies.

GAUGE for Measuring Social.


The Pittsburgher who resents the
timeworn variations of the soft coal
smoke gibes now has his chance to
proye that they are unjustifed, or re-
main forever silent. By new inven-
ton it is at present possible to measure
the sootfall of any city as accurately
az its rain or snowfall may be meas
ured. Already this SCOT gauge, tried
out in England, has proved what the
tourist long suspected, that London.
with all it's yellow fog, has far purer
air than the North of England factory

other slandered American cities the
opportunity to whiten their sooted
regulations, but the manufactures, too.

30 both tho ladies, to the duke. and
went away.
This was the picture he might add
to his collection: the older woman in
her vivid dress, Julia in her simpler
gown, and the titled Frenchman bow
ing over her hand.
When he went out to the front ter
race Brunei was there with his horse,
and Pitchoune was there as well, stiff
ly waiting at attention.

man, will you take Pitchoune around
to the servants quarters and give him
to Miss Redmond's maid? 1 am going
to leave him here"
Good, mon Capitaine," said the
Ordonnance, and whistled to the dog.
Pitchoune sprang toward his master
with short sharp bark. What he un-
derstood would be hard to say, but all
that he wanted to do was to remain
with Sabron. Sabron bent down and
stroked him.
GO, my friend, with Brunei. Go,

obedience as a soldiers dog should be,

CHAPTER TX.
The Fortunes of War.

Sabron's departure had been de-
layed on account of a strike at the
dockyards of Marseilles. He left
Tarascon one lovely day toward the
end of January and the old town with
it's sweetness and it's sorrow, fell be-
hind, as he rolled away to brighter
suns. A friend from Paris took him to
the port in his motor and there Sabron
waited some forty-eight hours before
he set SAIL His boat lay out on the
azure water, the brown rocks OF the
coast behind it. There was not a
breeze to stir as he took the tug which
was to convey him. He was inclined
to dip his fingers in the indigo ocean,
sure that he would find them blue
He climbed up the ladder alongside of
the vessel, was welcomed by the cap
tain, who knew him, and turned to go
below, for he had been suffering from
an attack of fever which now and then
laid hold Of him, ever since his cam
paign in Morocco.
Therefore, as he went into his cabin,
which he did not leave until the steam
er touched Algiers, he failed to see
the baggage tender pull up and failed
to see a sailor climb to the deck with
a wet bedraggled thing in his hand
that looked like an old fur cap except
that it wriggled and was alive.
"This, mon commandant," said the
sailor to the captain, lis the Quickest
little beast I ever saw"
He dropped a small terrier on the
deck, who proceeded to shake himself
vigorously and bark with apparent de-
light.
mo sooner had we pushed out from
the quay than this little beggar sprang
from the pier and began to swim after
us. He was so funny that we let him
swim for a bit and then we hauled him
In. It is evidently mascot, mon COM
mandant, evidently sailor dog who
has run away to sea-
The captain looked with interest at
Pitchoune, who engaged himself In
making his toilet and biting after
flea or two which had not been
drowned.
1--WE sailors" said the man saluting,
would like to keep him for luck, mon
commandant."
Take him down then" his superior
officer ordered, "and don't let him up
among the passengers"
It was a rough voyage. Sabron
passed his time saying good-by to
France and trying to keep his nina
away from the Chateau d'Eschgnac'
which persisted in haunting his uneasy
slumber. In a blaze of sunlight, Al
giers, the white city, shone upon them
on the morning of the third day and
SAFFRON tried to take more cheerful
view of a soldiers life and fortunes.
He was a soldierly figure and hand
some one as he walked down the gang
plauk to the shore to be welcomed by
fellow officers who were eager to see
him. and presently was lost in the lit
tie crowd that streamed away from
the docks into the white city.

CHAPTER VIII.
Homesick.

Pitchoune was soldiers dog, born
dear to the canteen. Michette had been
une vraie vivandiere, a real daughter
of the regiment.
Pitchoune was a worthy son. He
adOred the drums and trumpets. He
adOred the fife. He adored the drills
from a respectable distance. He liked
Brunei, and the word had not yet been
discovered which would express how
he felt toward Monsieur lie Capitaine,
his master His muscular little form
expressed it in every fiber. His brown
eyes looked it until their pathos might
have melted a heart of iron.
There was nothing picturesque to
PitchOune in the Chateau d'Esclignac
or in the charming room to which he
was brought. The little dog took a
flying tour around it, over sofas and
chairs, landing on the window-seat.
where he crouched. He was not
wicked, but he was perfectly miser-
able, and the lovely wiles Of Julia Red
mond and her endearments left him
unmoved. He refused meat and drink,

window, to the beautiful view of King
hene's castle, to the tantalizing cat
summing herself against the wall He
new about like mad, leaving destruc-
tlon In his wake, tugged at the leash
When they took him out for exercise.
IN short, Pitchoune was a homesick,
loVesick little dog, and thereby en-
deared himself more than ever to his
new mistress. She tied ribbon
around his neck. which he promptly
chewed off. She tried to feed him
with her own fair hands; he held his
head high, looked bored and grew thin
in the TANKS.

FOX WANTED SOME SIGNALS
Peeved at Curves and Spitters
Thrown by Russell Ford.

This story comes from Rebel Cakes,
manager of the Pittsburgh Feds:
Russell Ford, now with the Buffalo
Feds, pitched for Atlanta in the South
ern league in his early days. Jim Fox,
possessing large quantity of dry w.t.
played first base.
Zone day Ford, in attempting to
catch runner mapping, threw to 6rst.
The ball took wide curve as it neared
Fox. He wasn't expecting it, but
made gallant lunge and caught the
