CHAPTER XIV.
The Meetind.


Under the sun, under the starry
nights fremont, with his burden, jour-
neyed toward the north. The halts
were distasteful to him, and although
he was forced to rest he would rather
have been cursed with sleeplessness
and have journeyed on and on. He
rode his camel like a Bedouin; he grew
brown like the Bedouips and under thu
hot breezes, swaying on his desert
ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and
melancholy reveries, like the wander
ing men of the Sahara, and felt Hing
self part of the desolation, as they
we're.
What will be, will BEL" Hammet
Abou said to him a hundred times, and
fremont wondered: Twill Charles live
to see Algiers?"
Sabron journeyed in a litter carried
between six mules, and they travelled
slowly, slowly. fremont rode by the
sick 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
times fremont thought he had ceased
to breathe. Slender, emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like the image
of a soldier in wax-a wounded man
carried as a votive offering to the
affairs of desert warfare.

WORK OF MAKING A HOME
Many Things Enter Into Atmosphere
Of Abode That Is Dear to
All Mankind.


A homo is not merely a house; 1t is
an atmosphere. a feeling. 1t is a
place of beloved associations, where
you can wear old clothes. and think
old thoughts, and hear familiar voices
without hearing them. You can be
happy there, and be comfortably I'M
happy, be thoroughly unpleasant
even, and know that those you love
will think not worse Of you than they
90 already. Luxury cannot make a
home, nor a books or pictures or
rugs or bric-a-brac. A cat, a canary,
two g~eran1ums, a Bible and old rock
ing-chair may make one of the love
Hest homes in the world. At the same
time, a home is not necessarily happy
because it is the house of poverty. as
some would have us believe.
The art of creating home atmos-
rhere is wholly the art of woman. and
she has none more charming. Mere
and %tidiness; indeed. those things
sometimes work the other way. The
love of %prettiness will not do it; good
cooking will not do it, although it is
a mighty help. Even being gay and
merry and kindly yourself is not quite
enough, although it helps even mere
than the cooking. Success in home
making, as in everything else. requires
that you shall feel a real joy in your
work. If it is a drag. if it is an irk
some duty, If your mind Is on a thou
sand outside things that are not home.
you cannot make home what it should
be. Not that the homemaker should
think of nothing else. That is neither
desirable nor possible. But the woman
whose first pleasure is to create that
beautiful thing. home, will be a pre-
cious and permanent influence not
only to her own family, but to all hel
household, to all her guests, to the
whole community in which she lives

lie Comte de Sabron. captain OF French

She drank her coffee.

Have you come to Africa for char

Julia was silent. A great reserve
seemed to seize her heart, to stife
her as the poverty of her love story
struck her. She sat turning her COT
Teaspoon between her fingers. her
eyes downcast. She had YER little
to tell. She might never have any
more to tell. Yet this was her love
story. But the presence of Sabron
was SO real, and she say his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
seen them often; heard the sound OF
his voice hat meant but n thing
and the words of his letter came back
to her. She remembered her letter
to him, rescued from the field where
he had fallen. She raised her eye to
the Comtesse de la Maine. and there
was an appeal in them.
The Frenchwoman leaned over and
kissed Julia. She asked nothing more.
She had not learned her lessons in
discretion to no purpose.
At night they sat put in the moon
light, white as day, and the radiance
over the sands was like the snow
flowers. Wrapped in their warm Gov
erings, Julia and Therese de la Maine
lay on the rugs before. the door Of
their tent, and above their heads
shone the stars so low that it seemed
as though their hands could snatch
them from the sky. At a little dis

dying fire, and there came to them the

Julia put out her hand and took the
hand of Madame de la Maine gently.
She was getting so far from a love
affair.

six weeks" said Therese.
"Oh," breathed Miss Redmond, "hor-

Madame de la Maine pressed Julia's
hand.

The comtesse swept n hand to-
ward the desert. "A moor like this

said Madame de la Maine intensely, Il

She waited for a long time. Over
the face of the desert there seemed to
be nothing but one veil of light. The
silence grew so intense, so deep; the
Arabs had stopped singing, but the
heart fairly echoed, and Julia grew
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. her eyes the cara
a she waited for seemed to come out
of the moonlit mist, rocking, rocking
the camels and the huddled figures OF
the riders, their shadows cast upon the
sand.
And now fremont would be forever
changed in her mind. A man who had
suffered from his youth, a warm-heart-
ed boy, defrauded of his early love. 1t
seemed to her that he was a charming
figure to lead Sabron.
"Therese," she murmured, won't
you tell me?"

THE GROWTH Or

Increase In Railway Mileage
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea Of the extent Of railway
construction In Western Canada a
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage In the Province OF Al
berta has been doubled In three years.
The present mileage il 4,0s7. In all
OF the settled districts there Is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by a Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and In the exercise OF their pow.
ers they not only control the rates,
giving lair equality TO both railway
and shipper. but form a court to hear
complaints Of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter OF education no better
instance OF the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found In the information to hand that
attendance at the University of Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
ave years, and Is now thoroughly rep
resentative OF all settled portions Of
the Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts,

was an angry Gathering of pots and
