CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn,


Sabron longed for change with au.
tumn, when the falling leaves made
the roads golden roundabout the Cha.
teau d'Esclignac. He thought he
would like to go away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property Of
the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and,
finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace. Seeing
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle of the good King Rene,
where the autumn mists were like ban
ners floating from towers.
There was solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with sweet melancholy.
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed 1t with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying.
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustling leaves.
Then a rabbit, which before the ar
rival Of Sabron had been sitting COM
fortably on the terrace stones. scut-
tied away like mad, and Pitchoune.
somewhat hindered by his limp, tore
after it.
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly
look forward to a change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war which would send him to a new
post.
The following day after his visit to
the chateau he took walk, Pitchoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let a yellow motor pass
him, but the yellow motor at that mo-

1t would have been simple to have
explained to the colonel, but Sabron,
reticent and reserved, did not choose
to do so. He made very insufficient
excuse, and the colonel, as well as the
marquise, thought i'll of him. He
learned later, with chagrin, that his
friends were gone from the Midi
Rooted to the spot himself by his du'
ties, he could not follow them. Mean.
while Pitchoune thrived, grew, cheered
his loneliness, jumped over a stick,
learned trick or two from Brunei and
a great many fascinating wiles and
ways, no doubt inherited from his
mother. He had a sense of humor
truly Irish, power of devotion that
we designate as canine no doubt be-
cause no member of the human race
has ever deserved 1t.

breeze without me. He had been run
over by a bicycle and he needed some
very special care" "
Miss Redmond's hand was on Pit
choune's head between his pointed
ears. She looked sympathetic. She
looked amused She smiled
1T was a question Of life and death,
wasn't IT." she said eagerly to SAFFRON.
Really, it was Just that" answered
the young officer, not knowing how
significant the words were to the two
ladies'.
Then Madame d'Esclignac knew that
she was beaten and that she owed
something and was ready to pay. The
chauffeur got upon his seat and she
asked suavely:
Wont you let us take you home,
Monsieur Sabron?"
He thanked them. He was walking
and had not finished his exercise.
AT all events" she pursued, now
that your excuse is no longer a good
one, you will come this week to din
ner, will you not?"
He would, of course, and watched
the yellow motor drive away In the
autumn sunlight, wishing rather less
for the order from the minister of war
to change his quarters than he had
before.

The Dog Pays.

Pitchoune repaid what was given
min,
He did not think that by getting
well, reserying the right for the rest
OF his life to a distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-
anately to return. He followed Sab
IRON like a shadow and when he could
mot follow him, took his place on a
chair in the window. there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the
1sRaform he knew and admired extrav-

FftchOune was a thoroughbred, and
every muscle and fiber showed it,
every hair and point asserted it. and
ne loved as only thoroughbreds can.
You may say what you like about mon
grel attachments, the thoroughbred in
all cases reserves his brilliancy for
crises.
Sabron, who had only seen Miss
Redmond twice and thought about her
countless times, never quite forgaye

CHAPTER discontinued.

That evening the Marqulse d'Escll-
gnac read aloud to her niece the news
that the Count de Sabron was not COM
ing to dinner. He was absolutely des-
oiated" and had no words to express
mis- regret and disappointment. The
pleasure Of dining with them both, a
pleasure to which he had looked for
ward for a fortnight, must be re-
nounced because he was obliged to
sit up with very sick friend, as there
was no one else to take his place. In
expressing his undying devotion and
his renewed excuses he put his homage
at their feet and kissed their hands.
The Marquise d'Esclignac, wearing
another very beautiful dress, looked up
at her niece, who was playing at the
piano.
"A very poor excuse, my dear Julia,
and very late one"
ct sounds true, however. believe
MIN, don't you, ma tante?"
Il do not" said the marquise en-
phatically. "a Frenchman of good
education is not supposed to refuse a
dinner invitation an hour before he is
expected. Nothing but case Of life
and death would excuse it."
"He says very sick friend"
Nonsense" exclaimed the marquise.
Miss Redmond played few bars of
She tune Sabron had hummed and
which more than once had soothed
Pitchoune. and which, did she know,
Sabron was actually humming at that
moment. e..a.
Il am rather disappointed" said the
young girl, "but if we find it is a mat
ter of life and death, ma tante, we
will forgive him."
The Marquise d'Esclignac had In
vited the Count de Sabron because she
had been asked to do SO by his colo
mel, who was an old and valued friend.
She had other plans for her niece,
Il feel, my DEAR" she answered her
now, quite safe in promising that If it
Is question of life and death we shall
forgive him. l shall see his colonel
tomorrow and ask him pointblank."
Miss Redmond rose from the piano
and came over to her aunt, for dinner
had been announced.

slipped her hand in her aunt's arm,

If Sabron, smoking in his bachelor

watching with an extraordinary fideli-

sseen the two ladies at their grand soil

them, he might have felt the picture

while the chauffeur got out to adjust
some portion of the mechanism. Some
one leaned from the yellow motor win

speak to the Marquise dEsclignac
and another lady by her side.
How do you do, Monsieur? Do you
remember us?"
Glad he ever forgotten them?) He
regretted so very much not having
been able to dine with them in the
spring.

Madame d'Esclignac keenly, "did he

him and extended her pretty hand.

Proof to Show He Wasn't Crazy.


Victor Murdoch says that one night
In Fort Scott, after a political meet
ing, two men who had been in the
audience fell into a violent discussion
about the topic OF the speech of the
evening. A big crowd fingered to hear
the dlsputants out. One was named
Flynn and the other Dobbins. They
were evidently strangers to each
other. Finally Flynn lost his head
and said: You're wrong, l tell you;
you're wrong. You're crazy" Il am

Winter is never very ugly around
Tarascon. Like lovely bunch of fruit
in the brightest corner of a happy
vineyard, the Midi is sheltered from
the rude experiences that the seasons
know farther north. Nevertheless,
rains and winds, sea-born and Wig
