fremont wondered: Twill Charles live

Sabron journeyed in a litter carried
between six mules, and they travelled
slowly, slowly. fremont rode by the
nick mans side day after day. Not
once did the soldier for any length of
time regain his reason. He would pass
from coma to delirium, and many
dimes fremont thought he had ceased
to breathe. Slender, emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like the image

the lines creased in Sabron's forehead
indicated that the singer had not yet
found the music which haunted the
memory Of the sick man.
~Sing!" he would repeat, fixing his
hollow eyes on his companion, and
fremont complied faithfully. Finally,
his own thoughts going back to early
days, he hummed tunes that he and a
certain little girl had sung at thea
games in the allees of an old chateau
in the valley of the Indre.

was already absorbed In the worldly
life Of an ambitious young man. He
had not known how much he loved her
until in the Villa des Bougainvilleas
he had seen and contrasted her with
Julia Redmond.
All the charm for him Of the past
returned. and he realized that, as
money goes, he was poor-she wa
poorer.
The difficulties of the marriage made
him all the more secure in his deter
mination that nothing should separate
him again from this woman.
BY Sabron's bed he hummed his
little insignificant tunes, and his heart
longed for the woman. When once OF
twice on the return journey they had
been threatened by the engulfing sand
storm he had prayed not to die before
he could again clasp her in his arms.
Sweet, tantalizing, exquisite with
the passion of young love, there came
to him the memories Of the moonlight
nights on the terrace of the old cha,
teau. He saw her in the pretty girl
ish dresses of long ago, the melan
choly droop of her quivering mouth
her bare young arms, and smelled the
fragrance of her hair as he kissed
her. So humming his soothing melo
dies to the sick man, with his voice
softened by his memories, he soothed
Sabron.
Sabron closed his eyes, the creases
in his forehead disappeared as though
brushed away by a tender hand. Per
haps the sleep was due to the fact
that, unconsciously, fremont slipped

words De fremont was quite ignorant.
"Will he last until Algiers, Hammet
Abou?"
What will be will be, monsieur!"
Abou replied.
"He must" De fremont answered
fiercely. HE shall"
He became serious and meditative
on those silent days, and his blue
eyes, where the very whites were
burned, began to wear the far-away,
mysterious look of the traveller across
long distances. During the last sand
storm he stood, with the camels, round
sabron's litter, human shade and
shield, and when the storm ceased he
fell like one dead, and the Arabs
pulled off his boots and put him to bed
like child.
One shutdown, as they travelled into
the afterglow with the East behind
them, when fremont thought he
could not endure another day of the
voyage, when the pa:;cc and Weakness
of Sabron's face were like death itself,
Hammet Abou, who rode ahead, cried
out and pulled up his camel short.
He waved him arm.
"A caravan, monsieur"
In the distance they saw the tents,
like lotus leaves, scattered on the pink
sands, and the dark shadows of the
Arabs and the couchant beasts, and
the glow of the encampment fire.
IAN encampment, monsieur!"
fremont sighed. He drew the cur.
tain of the litter and looked in upon
Sabron, who was sleeping. His set
features, the growth Of his uncut
beard, the long fringe of his eyes, his
dark hair upon his forehead, his wan
transparency-with the peace upon his
face, he might have been a figure Of
Christ waiting for sepulture.
fremont cried to him: "Sabron,
mon vieux Charles, reveille-toi! We
are in sight Of human beings!"
But sabron gave no sign that he

When Sabron next opened his eyea
he fancied that he was at home in hia
old room in Rouen, in the house where
he was born, in the little room In
which, as child, dressed in his dimity
night gown, he had sat up in his bed
by candle. light to learn his letters
from the cookery book.
The room was snowy white. Out
side the window he heard Bird sing
and near by, he heard dogs smoth
cred bark. Then he knew that he
was not at home or a child, for with
the languor and weakness came his
memory. A quiet nurse in a hospital
dress was sitting by his bed, and
Pitchoune rose from the foot of the
bed and looked at him adoringly.

and to him the others radiance meant
simply that he was engaged to Miss

sabron tried to accept it and to be
glad for the happiness Of the man
who had rescued him. But as he
thought this, he wondered why he
had been rescued and shut his eyes
so that fremont might not see his
weakness. He said hesitatingly:
