light. Pitchoune, moved from his
usual Indifference, gave a short bark,
walked up to the ladies', and began
to snuff about their feet. The OUNCE
lady exclaimed, and then Sabron. lift
ing his hat, came forward, the crimson
color beating in his dark tanned
cheeks.
The Marquise d'Esclignac held out
both hands to the officer:
It's nearly noon," she said, and
you don't forget that you have prom
ised to lunch with us. do you, Mon
sieur lie Capitaine?"
Sabron, bending over her hand, as
sured her that he had not forgotten.
Then his eyes travelled to her com
panion. Miss Redmond wore a very
simple dress, as was her fashion, but
the young officer from Africa, who had
not seer her near by until now and
who had only caught a glimpse of her
across the opera house, thought that
he had never seen such a beautiful
dress in all his life. 1t was made of
soft graz cloth and fitted her closely,
and in the lapel of her mannish little
buttonhole she wore a few Parma VIC
lets. He recognized them. They had
come from a bunch that he had sent
her the night before. He kissed her
hand. and they stood talking together,
the three of them, for a few moments,
Pitchoune s%tationing himself as a SEN
tinel by Miss Redmond's side.
The Marquise d~'Esclignac rose. The
young girl rose as well, n they
walked on together.
Mes enfants," said the Marquise
d'Esclignae, don't go with your usual
rush, Julia. Remember hat Monsieur
de Sabron is not as strong as Her.
cules yet. | will follow you with
Pitchoune."
But she spoke without knowledge OF
the dog. Now feeling that some TN.
wonted happiness had suddenly burst
upon the horizon that he knew, Pit,
choune seemed suddenly seized with a
rollicking spirit such as had been his
characteristic some years ago. He
tore like mad down the path in front
of Sabron and Miss Redmond. He
whirled around like a dervish, hi
dashed across the road in front Of
automobiles. dashed back again
springing upon his master and whin
ing at the girls feet.
See" said Sabron. how happy h'
is"
Il should think he would be happy
He must have a knowledge of wha
an important animal he is. Jus
think! If he were a man they would
give him a decoration"
And the two walked TRANQUILITY sid
by side.
Pitchoune ran to the side of thu
road, disappeared into a little fores
all shot through with light. He cam
back, bringing the remains of an oil
rubber ball lost there by some othe
dog, and laid it triumphantly in from
of Miss Redmond.
See" said Sabron, "he brings 70,
I his trophies"

COUNTRY MUST PAY
Vital BIunder Sound in Under
wood Tariff Bill.
Court of Customs Appeals Has Decid-
ed That Section Which Is a Con-
tradiction in Terms Is Law and
Must Be Enforced.

The folly of writing vague ano i'll
digested general legislation into a tar
if bill is emphasized by the decision
of the court of customs appeals inter-
preting section foul of the Underwood
law. That section, In effect, but no
in form, is a contradiction in terms.
Mr.. Underwood induced the house of
representatives to vote a rebate of
5 per cent on all duties imposed Cd
merchandise imported in vessels o.
American register. That sort of dis
elimination had been considered by
the trainers of every tariff bill back
to the days of the Civil war and had
been rejected because 1t conficted
with the favored nation clauses OF
a great number of our treaties with
other maritime countries.
The senate would not agree to such
a scheme, upseeting our foreign rela-
tons and exposing u commerce to
retaliation. 1t tackled on to the house
provision an amendment declaring
that the section should not be con-
strued as abrogating or impairing any
existing treaties with foreign coun-
tries. But instead of dropping the
discriminating duty, Mr.. Underwood
persisted on passing it on in this du-
bious form to plague the treasury de-
partment.
The department naturally took the
view that congress vas trying to put
over a practical joke. The secretary
of the treasury refused to enforce the
law, holding that it could not have
been the intent Of congress to deplete
the revenues by allowing a s per cent
discount on duties paid on goods
brought here not only in American
but in British, German, Swedish, Nor
wegian, Italian, Dutch and sundry 9th
er vessels of foreign register. Accord
ing to this ruling, sustained by the
department of justice, congress did
not know what 1t was doing and was
acquitted of legal responsibility on the
ground of ignorance and incompe
tence.
The court of customs appeals is not
SO lenient. 1t holds that congress die

thing, and the court draws from i

The Due de fremont saw what
splendid stun the captain in the -
Cavalry was made of by the young
mans quick convalescence. Sabron
could not understand why Robert lin
gered after the departure of the Mar
Quise d'EscIignac, the Comtesse de la
Maine and Miss Redmond. The pres
ence of the young man would have
been agreeable II it had not been for
his jealousy and his unhappiness.
They played piquet together, Sab
ron, in his right mind, thinner and
paler, nevertheless very much of a
man. now smoked his cigarettes and
ate his three meals a day. He took a
walk every day and was quite Ht to
leave the Orient. fremont said:
Il think. sabron. that we can sail
this week"
sabron looked at him qu~estioningly.
You are going. then. too"
"Of course" said the young noble
man heartily. I'VE are going together
You know am going to take you
back in my yacht"
sabron hesitated and then said
mo, mon vieux, II you win excuse
me think | shall remain faithful to
the old line of travel. have an idea
that am not in yachting trim"
fremont was not too duh to have
noticed his friends change of attitude
toward him. He smoked for a few
moments and then said:
When we get back to Paris I want
TO have the pleasure of introducing
you to my ~fancee."
Sabron dropped his cards.
Introducing mel" he repeated.
Then putting out his hand, said cor
daily: II knew you we're to be felici.
tated. old fellow"
fremont shook his hand warmly.
Yes. and the lady is very anxious
TO know you. 1t is Madame de la
Maine"
A very warm color flushed the
cheeks OF the invalid. He remem
bered all he had heard and all he had
known. He congratulated his friend
with sincere warmth, and after a few
moments said:
"f you really want me to go bach
with you on the yacht, old chap"
Il really do" said fremont Sc
renely. you see, when we came OF
the boat we scarcely hoped to be Sc
fortunate as to bring back the distin
gushed captain"
Sabron smiled.

been rescued from captivity"
Brunet's curiosity was very strong
and as far as his master was con-
cerned he had been obliged to crush
it down. To himself he was saying:
Monsieur lie 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 a chair near by,
assisted at his masters toilet, one
momen holding the razor-strop be-
tween his teeth, then taking the
clothes brush in his little grip. He
was saying to himself: 81 hope il

sword hitting against the stairs.
The Marquise d'Esclignac gave a
brilliant little dinner to the colonel
of Sabron's squadron. There were
present a general DR. two, several men
of distinction, and among the guests
were the Duc de fremont and Madame
de la Maine. Sabron, when he found
himself at table, looked at everything
as though in a dream. Julia Redmond
sat opposite him. He had sem her
flowers and she wore them in her
bodice. Madame de la Maine bent
upon the young officer benignant eyes,
the Due de fremont glanced at him
af~fectionately, but Sabron was only
conscious that Julia's eyes did not
meet his at all.
They talked of Sabron's captivity,
of the engagement in Africa, If what
the army was doing, would not do, OF
might do, and the fact that the Duo
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
flushing face. He looked affection
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:
Now, gentlemen, you must drink tt
the health of Pitchoune.'
There was a murmur of laughter
Madame de la Maine turned to Sab
ron:
Il have had a collar made for Pit

with real turquoise"
Sabron bowed: "Pitchoune will b.

First Work for CONGRESS.

1t is entirely clear that the incom-
ing congress will have to give prompt
and earnest attention to the t%reasury's
condition. The deficiency taxes. cred
iting them with the whole of the in
creased internal revenue and miscel-
leoeous receipts, have added but $685.
600, 600 so far to the income. With
this excessive credit they have barely
replaced the loss of customs revenue
by the free sugar" experiment.
While admitting that the corpora
ton tax will probably yield but $685.
600, 900 this year as against s45, 900, 900
last, Mr.. McAdoo is reported hopeful
that the personal income tax will yield
fully SAB, 900, 900. 1t brought in but
S29, 000, 900 last year, and it is difficult
to see how it can do much better this.

in the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about
two inches below the soil level. At
other times just barely them.
When hoeing in the summer it is
we'll not to draw much soil to them,
as it is liable to rot them at certain
times when they are more subject to
this decay than others. when deeply
covered with soil; and doubly so after
they become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free from weeds and
hoed very lightly or raked just SO
the crust is broken and kept loose.
About November /, before freezing
begins, give them a good hoeing and
a light dressing of manure after the
Roeing. Plant or divide at any time.
The Japan Iris requires much differ
ent treatment, while very easily han
died when their requirements are I'M
%derstood, yet they are somewhat tickle.
The best results are obtained when
the soil is very rich, well watered
and kept hoed at all times.
Never allow weeds to attain any
start in their beds as they cannot
resist the encroachments of strong
growing weeds.
Plant them deeply SO that the
crowns are fully three inches below
the soil level. Plant very early in the
spring, just when the growth is show.
ing or late in October.
Water well after doing it. They
may be planted at almost any time
if the soil is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept well dampened for al
least two weeks. In fact, they should
never be allowed to become dry.
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August oil
September, and hoe it into the sol,

The people of the country have a right

lie 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 lie Capitaine is looking
we'll tonight"
Brunei had never before given his
master a 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
Sabron's long illness and absence. the
fact that he had been snatched from
death and given back to the army
again, leveled between servant and
master the impossible wall of ETH
quette.
There will be a grand dinner to-
night, will there not, Monsieur lie
Capitaine? Doubtless Monsieur lie
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 10 France had
made a long cruise. Sabron wore the
look of a man who has come back
from a far country and is content.
And never shall l forget to the end
of my days how Monsieur lie Capitaine
looked when l met the yacht at Mar
seilles!"
] Brunei spoke reverently. as though
he were chronicling sacred souvenirs.
Il said to myself, you are about to
welcome back a hero, Brunei! Mon
sieur lie Capitaine will be as weak as
a child. But | was determined that
Monsieur lie Capitaine should not read
my feelings, however great my emo
ton"
Sabron smiled. At no time in his
simple life did Brunei ever conceal
the most trifing emotion-his simple
face revealed all his simple thoughts.
Sabron said heartily: Your control
was very fine, indeed"

Ways to Disguise Milk.

Many children dislike milk as soon
az they have passed their babyhood
days. The food values it contains,
however, are very essential to the
proper growth of the child. Many
mothers are therefore at a loss for
spised milk, so as to make it palatable.
Probably one of the best ways is to
give the child a pure cocoa, made en-
tirely with milk. Most children like
cereals, and these can be cooked in
milk instead of water. When served
