CHAPTER XII.
The News From Africa.


1t took the better part of three eve
nings to answer her letter, and the
writing Of 1t gave Sabron a vast
amount OF pleasure and some tender
sorrow. 1t made him feel at once SO
near to this lovely woman and at once
so far away. In truth there is a great
difference between a spahi on an AT
rican desert. and a young American
beiress dreaming In her chintz-covered
bedroom in chateau in the Midi Of
France.
Notwithstanding. the young Ameri-
can heiress felt herself as much alone
in her chintz-covered bedroom and as
desolate, perhaps more so, than did
Sabron in his tent. Julia Redmond
felt, too, that she was surrounded by
people hostile to her friend
Sabron's letter told her OF Pitchoune
and was written as only the hand OF a
charming and imaginative Frenchman
can write a letter. Also, his pent-up
heart and his reserve made what he
did say stronger than II perhaps he
could have expressed It quite frankly.
Julia Redmond turned the sheets
that told OF Pitchoune's following his
master. and colored with Joy and pleas
ure as she read. She wiped away two
tears at the end. where Sabron said:
Think OF 1t. Mademoiselle, little dog

plenty. from quiet and security, into the

Not but what I think his little heart
was brave enough and valiant enough to

so far without better scent
Sabron said: 1T is one of the re-
grets Of my life that you cannot tell
us about it. How did you get the
scent? How did you follow me?"
Pitchoune did not stir, and Sabron's
eyes returned to the page.

He put the letter down a moment,

Mustapha came in. black as ebony, his
woolly head bare. He stood as stiff
as ramrod and as black. In his
childlike French he said:

NO. said Sabron, without turning
mot tonight" He went on with his
letter:
g. a sacred trust"
Half aloud he murmured: 81 left a
very sacred trust at the Chateau
d'Esclignac, Mademoiselle; but as no
one knew anything about it there will
be no question of guarding 1t, dare
say"
So write you this letter to tell
you about darling Pitchoune. 1 had grown
to love him though he did not like me. I
miss him terribly. My aunt asks
me to say that she hopes you had fine

And Sabron did not know how long
Miss Redmond's pen had hesitated in
writing the closing lines:
I say hope you will be success
ful and that although nothing can take
the place OF Pitchoune, you will find some
one to make the desert less solitary.
Sincerely yours,
JULIA REDMOND.
When Sabron had read the letter
several times he kissed it fervently
and put it in his pocket next his
heart
That" he said to Pitchoune, max
ing the dog an unusual confidence,
that will keep me less lonely. At the
same time it makes me more so. This
is paradox, mon vieux, which you
cannot understand"

on that gentle pillow for many days.
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 a 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 pined. and
she, alas! could not break her chains
and run away.
The Due de fremont was con-
slant guest at the house, but he found
the American heiress a very capricious
and uncertain lady, and Madame d'Es-
clignac was severe with her niece.

to q gathering of 1000 naturalized
Americans Tuesday night the first in
timation Of what course the United
States government win pursue In the
situation resulting from the loss of
more than a hundred American lives
on the British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
will remain al peace II would seek TO
convince Germany Of the injustice to
mankind Of the tragedy Of last Friday,
"Amcricn," said the President,
must have the consciousness that on
all sides II touches elbows and touches
heart with sll nations Of mankind.
The example Of America must be a
special example and must be an ex-
ample not merely Of peace because II
will not fight, but because peace is a
healing and elevating influence Of the
world, and strife Is not,
There Is such thing as man be-
ing too proud to fight. There is such
a thing a. nation being 80 right that
II does not need TO convince others by
force that It is right
These remarks precipitated tumult
Of applause and patriotic enthusiasm

lean flags. The President made no d.
rect reference to the Lusitania trag-
edy, but the audience did not hesitate

ment.
The sentiment expressed by the
Presidents speech was epitomized
later by one Of his closest advisers as
humanity first" While II had not
yet been determined, he said, exactly
what steps would be taken by the Uni
ted States in the present crisis, the
Idea uppermost In the Presidents
mind WAS TO show that Whatever
course Is adopted, no matter how Wig
orous, II will have as its objective the
good Of humanity.

cent, n welcome and an appeal for

the president carried forward the idea
of the welding Of foreign blood in the
makeup Of Americans by pointing out
the true goal Of right American citi-
zenship to be loyalty not to the coun-
try Of ones birth, but to the land Of
ones adoption.

suggest that man cease to love the

not consist Of groups. A man who
