CHAPTER XIV.
As Handsome Does.

When Sabron next opened his eyes
he fancied that he was at home in his
old room in Rouen, in the house where
he was born, in the little room in
which, as child, dressed in his dimity
night gown. he had sat up in his bed
by candle light to learn his letters
from the cookery book.
The room was snowy white. Out
side the window he heard bird sing,
and near by. he heard dogs smoth.
cred bark. Then he knew that he
was not at home or child, for with
the languor and weakness came his
memory. A quiet nurse in a hospital
dress was sitting by his bed, and
Pitchoune rose from the foot of the
bed and looked at him adoringly.
He was in hospital in Algiers.
"Pitchoune," he murmured, not
knowing the name of his other com.

"In furnishing home the housewife

spend at least third OF our lives in

licked his masters hand.
"Charles!" fremont cried, and lift

Sabron opened his eyes. He was
sane. The glimmer of smile touched
his lips. He said Tremont's name,
recognized him. Are we homer" he
asked weakly. "Is it France?"
fremont turned and dashed away a
tear.
He drew the curtains of the litter
feeling like cotton and his heart beat
ing.
AS they came up toward the en-.
campment, two people rode out to
meet them, two women in white riding
habits, on stations, and as the evening
breeze f1uttered the wells from their
helmets, they seemed to be flags of
welcome.
Under his helmet fremont was red
and burned. He had short. rough
growth of beard.

them, and came forward, half stagger-

and pointed with his left hand toward
the litter; but he went directly up to
Madame de la Maine, who sat immov-
able on her little stallion. fremont
seemed to gather her in his arms. He
lifted her down to him.
Julia Redmond's eyes were on the
litter, whose curtains were stirring in
the breeze. Hammet Abou, with q
profound salaam, came forward to her.
"Mademoiselle," he said, respect
fully, "he lives. l have kept my word
Pitchoune sprang from the litter and
ran over the sands to Julia Redmond
She dismounted from her horse alone

he crouched at her feet, licking her

"Is he a thoroughbred? asked the

There was a silence. The Marquise

"You will be leaving the army, ol
