 CHAPTER VII.
A Meetlna.

~ meetinn.
 In Sidi-bel-Abbes there is a pleasant avenue, shaded by silver birch and red slent of al the sweet perfumes of the East, where the local potentates gather m select exclusive circle. In ths courtyard of one such of these houses Colonel Destinn sat and smoked an after-tea cigarette. His kepi lay on the broad balustrade beside him, and ms head was thrown back in an atti- Jude of easy contentment.
 You pour out tea charmingly, madame,' he said. "A second cuE would sude the last regret that should have gone so far against my principles as to drink a first"
 She looked up at him. The soft re- hection from the low, white wallr around them enhanced her ethereal beauty and added the subtle glamour Nith which the eastern light surrounds t0e least and most lovely object. Very uencately she obeyed his request the sort rich lace sleeve of her teagown slpping back to reveal the rounded arm and slender over-fragile wrist. fl. Do your principles compel vou ho nfe only for your sOldiers?" she asked lightly.
 He laughed.

She released herself with gentle de eision from his desperate grasp.
 It's too late, Desire" she said sadly. When a man breaks woman's faith it Is always beyond repair"
 She moved away from him to the curtained door leading into the house, but he sprang after her, barring her path, his eyes pleading and full of a worship that might have touched her.

 She flushed suddenly.
 Tt Is not necessary. do not want to take you from your duty"
 His hand dropped from the curtain. Beneath the half-closed eyends there nlckered two dangerous points of light.
 Tn other words, you won't attempt lo orluge the gulf that has come be- tween us-at your wish, as I verify believe. Very well, whatever happens on your head be it."
 He turned away, and for moment she hesitated, looking back at him like a child endeavoring to penetrate the meaning of some vague threat of the future. Then the curtains fell softly behind her.
 Sidi-bel-Abbes has two great streets running north to south and east to west. In between are the little for gotten byways, unknown to the great ones who saunter about the Place Car not listening to the band, or take their absinthe on the gaudily decorated cafes Of the Algerian boulevards. None the less these unsuspected byways exist. They are very narrow and very dirty.
 On the border of this region lies the Care du Tonkin. It is comparatively respectable, and occasionally a tourist or newly arrived official under escort makes his appearance in the bar in order to acquaint himself with what

he conceiyes to be the real thing ? | Therefore when Capt. Desire Arnaud | sauntered along the narrow. evil. smelling street he attracted little no nce, the more so as dusk had already set in and deepened the eternal shad- ows to concealing darkness. Captain Arnaud entered the unguarded door way. He was evidently on a serious errand, for he did not appear again. Instead, some ten minutes later a man in ragged, ill-fitting clothes lurched out on to the pavement and slunk on deeper into the labyrinth of alleys and llghtless passages. He wore a l. .oad- brimmed hat pulled well over his eyes and bunch of roses stuck in his half open coat. He chose narrow passage running between two empty houses. and felt his way over the uneven flags, his hands touching either wall to keep him from stumbling. The music sound ed nearer Abruptly the passage twisted into an open square. dimly lighted, and the music became deaf ening discord of voices. The contrast after the dark eastern reticence of the region behind him was bizarre and brutal. Red lanterns had been strung across from one low-roofed house to another, and their soft light fell on scene which might have been painted from a wild dream of Montmartre. The place was full. Long tables built a tas,. laden with empty bottles and clipped, wine-stained glasses. On a free cor ner a woman sat with folded arms and sang. Her voice was rough and feelingless, but it harmonized with what surrounded her--it was like a shriller note of the red-tinted atmos- phere, or the articulate spirit of the madness which caught up the refrain and yelled it back to her in drunken triumph. She sang the "Marseillaise," her splendid eyes fixed on the red. white and blue strip of bunting nailed on the wall opposite, her mouth, even as she sang, curved in subtle line of mockery 4 little to her right a Chas- seur d'Afrique crashed out an accom-
  paniment on a tinking piano, which quivered under his merciless hands. A zouave, scarce able to keep his feet, reeled backward and forward, banging out the rhythm of a pair of cymbals--
 "Allons, enfants de Ia Patrie--v They rose like one man. chasseurs. zouaves, few French legionaries, and shouted with their empty glasses held high above their heads. While they sang the woman was silent, her sleek head with it's massive coils of smooth. black hair bent so that her face was hidden in shadow. The man with the roses crossed the intervening space and stood opposite her. She turned slightly and looked at him.
 Good evening. Mademoiselle Ra- chael."
 Good evening, monsieur"
 You see. I have come again."
 After all these months?''
 He nodded.
 Monsieur is married?"
 '.So they say
 She laughed. throwing back her head SO that the light fell on her bold Semitic features. He laughed too, and held tue flowers outstretched. For a moment she glanced at him with sharp, suspicious questioning.

 Things are to be as they were?"
 "Yes.v
 She bent and kissed him on either cheek.
 They had sung the refrain for 2he third time. The zouave had collapi ed in corner. and the self-appointed ac- companist remembered apparently that he was thirsty. He got up, and with thu last tinkle of the piano the singing died into mingled hiccuping and laughter.
 Then the girl on the table sprang up. glass in hand. Her face, lifted to the red light, was diabolically beautiful in its mocking laughter.
 You drunken fools" she said shrilly. "Rehold. will give you toast which you can all drink with q good heart. To the devil who brought us here hurrahi"
 She tossed down the fiery liquid at one draft. and her audience answered with a wild cheer of gratitude Forget fitness at all costs.

There is a lack of understanding of flowers and shrubs in this city
 Children and even grown people steal flowers and think it no crime. They fail to see the moral degreda- tion of the swiping of little flower. They need to be taught the value of flowers and shrubs. There ought to be some way devised to teach the children that flowers are property, that their cultivation is more than a whim or a fad. If children un- derstand how the love of flowers enobles life. if they understand how it hurts flower lovers to have their plants mutilated there would be less stealing It is not that the children are thieves; they are not, it is just that they do not appreciate the wall ue of the flowers.-Times Record.
