That night after dinner and ciga-

tract his mind with the sight of the
oriental city and to fill his ears with
the eager cries of the crowd The
lamps flichered The sky overhead
was as blue nearly as in daytime. He
walked leisurely toward the native

in their brilliant costumes and by q

He stopped indiiferently before lit

where velvets and scarfs were being
sold at double their worth under the
light OF a 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 a sweet familiarity about 1t 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

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

The young mans voice was i'm
perative and he fixed stern eyes on the
sailor, who pulled his forelock and ex

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.
