CHAPTER XVIII.
Happiness.


 Le Comte de Sabron finished his dressing.
 Brunei surveyed his master from the tip of his shining boots to his sleek, fair head. His expressive eyes said: Monsieur le Capita;ne is looking well tonight"
 Brunei had never before given his master direct compliment. His eyes only had the habit of expressing ad. miration, and the manner in which he performed his duties, his devotion, were his forms of compliment. But fact that he had been snatched from death and given back to the army again, leveled between servant and master the impossible wall of eti- quette.
 There will be grand dinner to- night, will there not, Monsieur le Capitaine? Doubtless Monsieur le Colonel and all the gentlemen will be there." Brunei made a comprehen- sive gesture as though he comprised the entire etat major.
 Sabron, indeed, looked well. He was thin, deeply bronzed by the ex- posture on the yacht, for he and Ire mont before returning to France had made long cruise Sabron wore the look of man who has come back from a far country and is content.
 And never shall forget to the end of my days how Monsieur le Capitaine looked when met the yacht at Mar seilles!"
 Brunei spoke reverently, as though he were chronicling sacred souvenirs.
 T said to myself, you are about to welcome back hero, Brunet Mon sieur le Capitaine will be as weak as a child. But was determined that Monsieur le Capitaine should not read my feelings, however great my emo- tion"
 Sabron smiled. At no time in his simple life did Brunei ever conceal the most trifiing emotion-his simple face revealed all his simple thoughts. Sabron said heartily: Your control was very fine. indeed"

CHAPTER xxvlI.
vaIor In Retrospect.

In the month of May, when the t'.estnuts bloom in the green dells, \where the delicate young foliage holds the light as in golden cups, 1EouQ& Haan walked through one of the small allees of the Bois at the fash ionable noon hour, little reddish dog trotting at his heels. The young man walked with an imperceptible limp. He was thin, as men are who have lived hard and who have overcome tremendous obstacles. He was tanned as men are Drowned who have come from eastern and extreme southern countries.
 .- The little dog had also an imper. ceptibie limp occasioned by bicycle running over him when he was a puppy.
 The two companions seemed inn mensely to enjoy the spring day. Sab- ron every now and then stood for a few moments looking at the gay passers-by, pedestrians and eques- trians. enjoying to the full the repose of civilization, the beauty of his own land.
 Pitchoune looked with indifference upon the many dogs. He did not stir from his masters side When Sabron was quiet, the little animal stood at attention; he was soldiers dog. He could have told dog stories to those insignificant worldly dogs - could have told of really thrilling adven- lures. His brown eyes were pathetic with their appeal of affection as thev looked up at his beloved master. He had fund of experience such as the poodles and the terriers led by their owners could not understand. There fore Pitchoune was indifferent to them. Not one of those petted, ridiculous house dogs could have run for miles in the dark across an African desert. could have found Beni Medinet and fetched relief to his master. Pitchoune was proud of it. He was very well satisfied with his career. He was still young; other deeds of valor per haps lay before him-who can tell? At any rate he had been shown about at the ministry of war, been very much admired, and he was proud animal.
 When Sabron spoke to him he leaped upon him and wagged his tail. After a few moments. as the two stood near the exit of an alice leading to one of the grand avenues, Pitchoune slowly went in front of his master and toward two ladies sitting on bench (n the kentle warmth of the May sun.

 Brunet's curiosity was very strong and as far as his master was con. cerned he had been obliged to crush 1t down. To himself he was saying: Monsieur le Capitaine Is on the eve of some great event. When will he announce it to me? l am sure my master is going to be married"
 Pitchoune, from & chair near by, assisted at his masters toilet, one moment holding the razor-strop be- tween his teeth, then taking the clothes brush in his little grip He was saying to himself: q hope fin the name of rats and cats my master is not going out without mel"
 Brunei was engaged to be married to the kitchen maid of the Marquise d d'Eselignac. Performances and scui- lions are not able to arrange their matrimonial affairs so easily as ara the upper classes.

 Pitchoune gave sharp bark.

 The Marquise dEsciignac gave brilliant little dinner to the colonel of Sabron's squadron. There were present general or two, several men of distinction, and among the guests were the Due de Fremont and Madame de la Maine. Sabron, when he found himself at table, looked at everything as though in dream. Julia Redmond sat opposite him. He had sent her flowers and she wore them in her bodice. Madame de Ia Maine bent upon the young officer benignant eyes, the Due de Fremont glanced at him affectionately, but Sabron was only conscious that Julia's eyes did not meet his at all.
 They talked of Sabrons captivity. of the engagement in Africa, of what the army was doing, would not do. or might do, and the fact that the Due de Fremont was to receive the deco ration of the Legion or Honor in July. Fremont toasted Sabron and the young officer rose to respond with HuSuluS lace. ne tOOkSU dHeCllOH- ately at his friend who had brought him from death into life. The mo- ment was intense, and the Marquise d'Esclignac lifted her glass:

 T have had a collar made for Pit choune; it is of African leather set with real turquoise

FIVE NOMINATIONS MADE
FOR GALLERY MANAGERS.
No Contests for Places on Standing
Committee Of Core
spondents.

Nominations for the election of five
newspaper correspondents as the stand
ing committee of the press gallery
took place at the Press Club at noon
today, the candidates for election being
r. V. Oulahan, New York Times; II.
e. c. Bryant, Charlotte Observer;
Leroy I. Vernon, Chicago Daily News;
William Z. Brigham, Boston Tran
script. and Earl Goodwin. The Washing
ton Star. The polls will not be closed
until $50 this afternoon, but as there
are five vacancies. the candidates men
tioned have been practically elected.
Chairman Ouahan of the retiring
committee announced that owing to
the greatly congested condition of the
seating portion of the House gallery
on special days, such as the opening
of session or the days on which the
President appears to read his messag-
will be allowed in that portion of the
gallery, and that only one of these
would be entitled to seat. The rul :
was adopted, it was explained, because
of the great pressure brought by news
paper men for gallery seats, in spite
of the strict rules of admission to the
press gallery.
!. A report for the past year was read
by Secretary William e. Brigham, in
which it was stated that practical diff
ficulties stood in the way of a proposed
fund for sick and death benefits. a
committee consisting of Arthur Dunn,
Edwin NJ. Hood and Louis Garthe was
appointed to take suitable acton ex-
pressing the sentiment of the gallery
regarding the death of John Shriver,
who died during the recess of Con-
gress.

GERMANY AGAIN DENIES /.
| SHE IS SEEKING PEACE
Reports Declared Due to French,
Who Seek to Cover Up
Reverses.

BERLIN, December 4. by wireless 10
Sayville. y. T.-Another statement
bearing on Germany's reported desire
for peace was issued today by the
Overseas News Agency. The reports
of German peace proposals again are
denied. The news agency also contra
diets the assertion that Emperor Will
liam is TO go to Constantinople. The
statement follows:
French newspapers make il appear
that Germany is always looking for
peace when she has obtained mill
tary success. This is not only incor-
rect, but the reverse of the truth
1T is true that every time France
has suffered reverses on the battlefield
or in diplomacy, the French newspa-
pers have invented reports OF German
peace proposals in order to revive the
spirits of the French people. This Is
the reason why at the present time
the news is being spread all over the
world that Germany is seeking peace.
why invented reports concerning the
mission in Switzerland of Prince Won
Buelow. former German chancellor, are
being disseminated. and why similar
allegations are made concerning the
intentions of various other persons.
"All these rumors are as untrue 3
the report concerning the coming trip
of Emperor William to constantinople
This inventive activity demonstrates
the severity of the defeats suffered BY
Germanys enemies"

Delegates to the eleventh annual con-
vention of the National Commercial Gas
Association, which ended yesterday after
noon after sessions which began at the
New Willard Hotel last Tuesday, left for
their homes today, and the big exhibit OF
gas appliances, which filed the large ball
room of the New Willard Hotel, is today
being taken down and shipped back to
the headquarters of the sixty-iive manu-
facturers who installed the devices.
The gas men expressed themselves as
highly satisfied with the convention.
Among the last reports presented yester-
day WAS one from the committee on De
veioDraent Of Industrial fuel, which de-
cIared that the most lucrative ana most
desirable phase Of the gas business today
is that Of the sale Of gas for that use.
The committee on central develop
ment recommended plans for the es-
Establishment of q central experimental
laboratory for trying out the thou-
sands OF gas appliances which are pat
euted and offered for sale each year.
The committee believes the eStabllsh :
rnent of such a laboratory would DO
away with the sale of inefficient and
unsafe appliances, and the Natlonal
Commercial Gas Association may de-
eide, through its board of directors
to take up the question. TINS ana other
