CHAPTER XII.
The newa From Africa.

1t took the better part OF three eve
nings to answer her letter. and the
writing of It gave Sabron a vast
amount Of pleasure and some tender
sorrow. It 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 young American
heiress dreaming In her chintz-covered
bedroom in a 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 q
charming and imaginative Frenchman
can write letter. Also, his pent-up
heart and his reserve made what he
did say stronger than II perhaps he
could have expressed 1t quite frankly.
