to both the ladies', to the duke, and

This was the picture he might add
to his collection: the older woman in

Pitchoune was soldiers dog, born
In stable, of mother who had been
dear to the canteen. Michette had been

of the regiment.
Pltchoune was a worthy SON He
adored the drums and trumpets. He
adored the fife. He adored the drills
which he was accustomed to watch
from respectable distance. He liked
Brunei. and the word had not yet been
discovered which would express how
he felt toward Monsieur lie Capitaine,
his master. His muscular little form
expressed it in every fiber. His brown
eyes looked it until their pathos might
have melted heart of iron.
There was nothing picturesque to
Pitchoune in the Chateau d'Esclienac
or In the charming room to which he
was brought. The little dog took a
flying tour around it, over sofas and
chairs, landing on the window-seat,
where he crouched. He was not
wicked, but he was perfectly miser-

Miss Redmond's fingers wandered,
magnetically drawn by her thoughts,
into a song which she played softly
through. Pitchoune heard and turned
his beautiful head and his soft eyes to
her. He knew that tune. Neither
drums nor trumpets had played it, but
there was no doubt about its being fit

Together Again

That night after dinner and ciga'
rette, he strobe into the streets to dis
tract his mind with the sight of the
oriental city and to fill his ears with
the eager cries of the crowd. The
lamps fiickered. The sky overhead
was as blue nearly as in daytime. He
walked leisurely toward the native
quarter. jostled, as he passed, by men
in their brilliant costumes and by a
yelled woman OF two.
He stopped indifferently before lit

where velvets and scarfs we're being
sold at double their worth under the
light Of flaming yellow lamp. AS he
stood SO, his back to the cafe where a
number of the ships crew were drink
ing, he heard short sharp sound that
had sweet familiarity about it and
whose individuality made him start
with surprise. He could not believe
his ears. He heard the bark again
and then he was sprung upon by lit
tie body that ran out from between the
legs of a sailor who sat drinking his
coffee and liquor.
Gracious heavens" exclaimed Sab
ron, thinking that he must be the vic.
tim Of hashish dream. "Pitchoune"
The dog fawned on him and whined,
crouched at his feet whining-like a
child Sabron bent and fondled him.
The sailor from the table called the
dog imperatively, but Pitchoune would
have died at his masters feet rather
than return. If his throat could have
uttered words he would have spoken,
but his eyes spoke. They looked as
though they were fearful.
"Pitchoune, mon vieux! No, 1t can't
be Pitchoune. But it is Pitchoune!"
And Sabron took him up in his arms.
The dog tried to>lick his face.
"Voyons." said the officer to the ma
rine. who came rolling over to them,
where did you get this dog?"
The young mans voice was i'm
perative and he fixed stern eyes on the
sailor, who pulled his forelock and ex-
planned.
"He was following me" said Sabron,
not without slight catch in his voice.
The body of Pitchoune quivered under
his arm. "He Is my dog. l think his
manner proves it. If you have grown
fond of him l am sorry for you, but I
think you will have to give him up"
Sabron put his hand in his pocket
and turned little away to be free of
the native crowd that, chattering and
grinning. amused and curious and
eager to participate in any distribution
of coin, was gathering around him. He
found two gold pieces which he put
into the hand Of the sailor.
Thank you for taking care Of him.

and with Pitchoune under his arm
pushed his way through the crowd and
out of the bazaar.
