wine.
Pitchoune shook out his short
hairy body and came out of the oasis
pool into the sunlight and trotted into
the Arabian village.
Fatou Ami parched corn in a bra
zier before her house Her house
was mud hut with yellow walls. It
had no roof and was open to the sky.
Fatou Ami was ninety years old.
straight as lance-straight as one
OF the lances the men of the village
carried when they went to dispute
with white people. These lances with
which the young men had fought, had
Won them the last battle. They had
been victorious on the field.
Fatou Ami was the grandmother
Of many men. She had been the
mother of many men. Now she
parched corn TRANQUILITY, prayerfully.
Allah! that the corn should not
burn; Allah! that it should be sweet;
Allah! that her men should be al
ways successful"
She was the fetish of the settle
ment. In a single blue garment, her
black scrawny breast uncovered, the
thin veil that the Fellaheen wear
pushed back from her face her fine
eyes were revealed and she might
have been a priestess as she bent
over her corn!
Allah! Allah Akbar!"
Rather than anything should hap
pen to Fatou Ami, the settlement
would have roasted its enemies alive,
torn them in shreds. Some of them
said that she was two hundred years
old. There was charmed ring
drawn around her house. People sup
posed that if any creature crossed it
unlimited, 1t would fall dead.
The sun had risen for an hour and
the air was still COOL Overhead. the
sky, unstained by single cloud. was
blue as turquoise floor, and against
it, black and portentous, flew the vul-
lures Here and there the sun-touched
pools gave life and reason to the
oasis.
Fatou Ami parched her corn. Her
barbaric chant was interrupted by
sharp bark and low pleading whine.
She had never heard sounds just
like that. The dogs of the village
were great wolfiike creatures. Pit
choune's bark was angelic compared
with theirs. He crossed the charmed
circle drawn around her house. and
did not fall dead, and stood before
her. whining. Fatou Ami left her
corn, stood upright and looked at Pit
choune. To her the Irish terrier was
an apparition. The fact that he had
not fallen dead proved that he was
beloved Of Allah. He was. perhaps, a
genie, an afrit.
Pitchoune fawned at her feet. She
murmured line of the Koran. 1t did
not seem to affect his demonstrative
affection. The woman bent Gown to
him after making pass against the
Evil Eye, and touched him. and Pit
choune licked her hand.
Fatou Ami screamed, dropped him,
went into the house and made her
ablutions When she came out Pit
choune sat patiently before the
parched corn, and he again came
crawling to her.
The Arabian woman lived in the
last hut of the village. She could
satisfy her curiosity without shocking
her neighbors. She bent down to
scrutinize Pitchoune's collar. There
was a sacred medal on it with sacred
inscriptions which she could not read.

CHAPTER xxI-Continued,

P1tchoune ran with his nose to the
ground. There were several trails for
a dog to follow on that apparently un-
rodden page of desert history. Which
one would he choose? Without a
scent dog does nothing. His nos
tr1ls are his instinct. His devotion,
MS faithfulness, his intelligence, his
heart-all come through lis nose. A
mans heart. they say. is in his stem
ach-or in his pocket. A dogs is in
his nostrils. If Pitchoune had chosen
the wrong direction. this storr would

did not give birth to the sixth puppy
In the stables of the garrison, for
nothing. Nor had Sabron saved him
on the night of the memorable dinner
for nothing.
With his nose fiat to the sands Pit
choune smelt to east and to west, to
north and south, took scent to the
east decided on it-for what reason
Will never be told-and followed it.
Fatigue and hunger were forgotten
as hour after hour Pitchoune ran
across the Sahara. Mercifully, the
sun had been clouded by the pre-
cursor of windstorm. The air was
almost cool. Mercifully, the wind did
not arise until the little terrier had
pursued his course to the end.
There are occasions when an ami

the green palms grew, and he drank
and drank. Then the little desert
Wayfarer hid himself in the bushes
and slept till morning. All night he
was racked with convulsive twitches,
but he slept and in his dreams he
killed a young chicken and ate it. In
the morning ie took bath in the
pool, and the sun rose while he swan
in the water.
If Sabron or Miss Redmond could
have seen him he would have seem |

boy.
IN recognition Of his sons resource

and laid aside the strap.

The babies were playing with a little
dog. Sabron knew the dog but could
not articulate his name. By his side
sat the woman to whom he owed his
life. Her veil fell over her face. She
was braiding straw. He looked at her
intelligently. She brought him a
drink of cool water in an earthen YES
sci. with the drops oozing from it's
porous sides. The hut reek,d with
odors which met his nostrils at every
breath he drew He asked in Arabic:

In the hut of victory" said Fatou
Ami.
Pitchoune overheard the voice and
came to Sabron's side. His master
murmured:
Where are we, my friend?"
The dog leapel on his bed and licked
his face. Fatou Ami, with whisk of
straw, swept the flies from him. A
great weakness spread it's wings above
him and he fell asleep.

 The championship will he settled before a gathering largely foreign to the fighters, although several thou sand Americans have arrived in Ha- yana in the past few days All the Americans in Cuba seem to have come here
 The Cuban population will easily pay for the battle and make up the $3O, ,O0O purse Johnson is to get, win or lose No one knows exactly what the arrangements are with Willard, but it seems certain even should he win the championship he will receive no money until all expenses are set tied, and then only percentage of the net receipts
 While the Cuban authorities read fly granted permission for this fight, they will not, it is announced, sane tion fights between local white and black men in the future They are not taking any chances of untoWard happenings on Monday as militia will be freely dispersed about the arena.
 There is less actual betting on this contest than on any similar match in years There are so many uncertain angles 10 consider that the big bet ters are doubtful where to put their money Bob Vernon of New York, who is stakeholder for a syndicate, said that Johnson had authorized him to offer to bet any part of $10,000 on himself at 6 to g. But Johnson did not give Vernon the money, and there was no rush of Willard sup 3orters to cover the offer The Will lard men say they want odds of 10 i. There is no chance that these odds will be given by the Johnson ad- herents.
 Johnson notified the promoters that he was not satisfied with the plan for a 19-foot ring, which he con- siders tOo small for big men Conse- quently, the pugiists will battle in a 2O-foot ring, with a 3.foot extension outside the ropes
 The total ticket sales for the day exceeded $15000
