Julia Redmond, American heiress, who
sings for him an English bnllud that
lingers In his memory, Sabron Is ordered
to Algiers, but Is not allowed to take
servants or dogs. Miss Hedmond offers to
tako care of tho dog during his mastor's

After a horrible night and day Pllchouno
leaves him. Julia goes In Bcarch of Sa
bron, rcportod missing. Tremont takes
Julia and the Marquise to Algiers In his
yacht, not knowing their errand.
CHAPTER XVI Continued.
With his godmother ho was entirely
nt case. Ever since she had paid his
trifling debts when he wns n young
man, ho hnd adored her. Tremont,
always discreet nntj nlmost In .love
with his godmother, kept her in a
state of great good humor always, and
when sho had suggested to him this
littlo party he had been delighted. In
speaking over the telephone the Mar
quise d'Escllgnac had said very
firmly:
"My dear Robert, you understand
that this excursion engages you to
nothing."
"Oh, of courso, marralne."
"Wo both need n change, and be
tween ourselvoa, Julia has a little mis
sion on foot"
Tremont would bo delighted to
help Miss Itedmond carry It out.
Whom else should he ask?
"By all means, any ono you like,"
said his godmother diplomatically.
"Wo want to sail tho day after to
morrow." Sho felt safe, knowing
that no worldly people would accept
an invitation on twenty-four hours'
notice
"So," the Due do Tremont reflected,
as ho hung up tho receiver, "Miss
Redmond has a scheme, a mission!
Young girls do not have schemes and
missions in good French society."
"Madomolsolle," ho said to her, as
they walked up and down on the deck
In tho pale sunset, in front of tho
chair of tho Marquise d'Escllgnac, "I
never saw an ornament moro becom
ing to a woman than tho ono you
wear."
"Tho ornament, Monsieur?"
"On your sleeve It is so beauti
ful. A string of pearls would not bo
moro beautiful, although your pearls
aro lovely, too. Aro all American girls
Red Cross mombora?"
"But of courso not, Monsieur. Aro
nil girls anywhere ono thing?"
"Yes," sold tho Due do Tremont,
"thoy aro nil charming, but thero aro
gradations."
"Do you think that wo shall reach
Algiers tomorrow, Monslour?"
"I hope not, Mademoiselle."
Miss Redmond turned hor flno eyes
on him.
"You hopo not?"
"I should Hko this voyage to last
forever, Mademoiselle."
"How ridiculous 1" '
Hor look was so frank that ho
laughed in splto of himself, and in-
stand of following up tho politeness,
be asked:
"Why do you think of Algiers aB a
field for nursing tho sick, Madomol
sollo7" "There has been qulto a deputation
of tho Rod Cross women lately going
from Paris to tho East."
"But," said tho young man, "there
are poor In Tarascon, and sick, too.
Thero 1b a great deal of poverty in
NIco, and Paris is tho nearest of all."
"Tho American girls aro vory Im
aginative," said Julia Redmond. "Wo
must have somo romance in all wo
do."
"I And thp. American girls very
charming," said Tromont.
"Do you know many, Monslour?"
"Only ono," ho said serenely.
Miss Redmond changed tho subject
quickly and cloverly, and beforo ho
know It, Tromont wbb telling her
stories about his own military serv
ice, which had been mado in Africa.
Ho talked woll and entertained them
both, and Julia Redmond listened
when ho told ber of tho desert, of its
charm and Its desolation, and of its
dangers. An hour passed. Tho Mar
quise d'Escllgnac took an ante
prandial stroll, Mlml mincing at her
heolB.
"Co pauvro Sabron I " said Tremont
"Ho has disappeared off tho face of
the earth. What a horrlblo thing it
was, Madomolsollol I knew him in
Paris; I romembor mooting him
again tho night beforo ho loft tho
Midi. Ho was a flng follow with a
career before him, his friends say,"
"What do you think has become of
Monsieur do Sabron?"
Miss Redmond, so far, had only
been able to ask this question of hor
bunt and of the stars. Nono of thorn
had been able to tell her. Tremont
shrugged hts shoulders thoughtfully.
"Ho may hnvo dragged himself
away to dio in somo ambush that thoy
have not discovered, or likely ho has
been tako captive, lo pauvro dlablol"
"France will do all it can, Mon
sieur . , ."
"They will do nil thoy can, which
Is to wait. An extraordinary measure,
if taken Just now, would probably re
sult in Sabron being put to death by
his captors. He may bo found to
morrowho may never bo found."
A slight murmur from tho young
girl beside him mado Tromont look
at her. Ho saw that hor hands were
clasped and that her face was qulto
white, her eyes staring fixedly beforo
her, out toward Africa. Tremont
said:
"You aro compassion itself, Mado
molsolle; you have a tender heart.
No wonder you wear tho Red Cross.
I am a soldier, Madomolscllo. I thank
you for all soldiers. I thank you for
Sabron . . . but, wo must not talk
of such things."
He thought her very charming, both
romantic and Idealistic. Sho would
make a delightful friend. Would sho
not bo too lntenso for a wife? How
ever, many women of fashion Joined
tho Red Cross. Tremont was a com
monplnco mnn, conventional in his
heart and in his tastes,
"My children," said tho marquise,
coming up to them with Mlml In her
arms, "you aro as serious as though
wo were on a boat bound for the
North Polo and expected to live on
tinned things and salt fish. Aren't
you hungry, Julia? Robert, tako Mim!
to my maid, will you? Julia," said
her aunt as Tromont wont away with
tho little dog, "you look dramatic, my
donr; you're palo as death in splto of
this dlvlno air and this enchanting
sen." She linked her arm through
her niece's. "Tako n brisk walk with
mo for flvo minutes and whip up your
blood. I bellovo you wcro on tho
point of making Tromont somo un
wise confession."
"I assure you no, ma tanto."
"Isn't Dob a darling, Julia?"
"Awfully," returned her niece absent-mindedly.
"llo's the most eligible young man
In Paris, Julia, and tho moat difficult
to please."
"Ma tanto," said tho girl in a low
tone, ho tells mo that Franco at
present can do practically nothing
CHAPTER XVII.
Out of the Deoert
From a dreamy littlo villa, whoo
walls wero streaming with bougnln
vlllea, Miss Redmond looked over Al
glors, over the tumult and hum of it,
to tho sea. Tremont, by her side,
looked nt her. From head to foot
tho girl was In white. On ono sldo
tho bougalnvlllea laid its scarlet flow
ers against tho stainless linen of her
dress, and on her othor arm was tho
Red Cross.
Tho American girl and tho French
man had becomo tho best of friends.
Sho considered him a sincere com
panion and an unconscious confed
erate. Ho had not yet decided what
ho thought of her, or how. His prom
iso to remain on the yncht had been
broken and ho paid his godmother
and Miss Redmond constant visits at
their villa, which tho marqulso rented
for tho season.
Thero wcro times when Tremont
thought Miss Redmond's exllo rr fa
natical one, but ho always found her
fascinating and a lovely woman, nnd
ho wondered what It was that kept
him from laying his tltlo and his for
tuno nt her feet. It had been under
stood between tho godmother and
himself that ho was to court Miss
Redmond a l'nmerlcalno.
"Sho has been brought up In such
a .shocking fashion, Robert, that noth
ing but American love-making will
lllpjl I .If
REALLY NOT HIS LINE
TERROR" SATISFIED HE WAS IN
WRONG BUSINE8S.

about finding Monslour do Sabron.
Fancy a great army and a great na
tion helpless for the rescue of a sin
glo Boldicr, and his llfo at stako!"
"Julia," said tho marqulso, taking
tho trembling hand in hor own, "you
will make yoursolf ill, my darling,
and you will bo no ubo to anyone, you
know."
"You're right," returned tho girl.
"I will bo silent nnd I will only pray,"
Sho turnod from her nunt to stand
for a fow moments quiet, looking out
at tho sea, at tho bluo water through
wnicn tho boat cut aud flow. Along
tho horizon wns a mist, rosy and
translucent, nnd out of it white Al
glors would shlno boforo mnny hours.
When Tremont, nt luncheon n littlo
Inter, looked nt Ills guosts, ho snw a
now Julia. Sho had loft hor coat with
tho Red Cross in hor cabin with hor
hat. In hor pretty blouso, hor pearls
around hor neck, tho soft Himh
hor cheeks, Bho was apparently only
a light-hearted woman of tho world.
Sho teased her aunt gently, sho
laughed very dollclously nnd lightly
uiuu wuii mo uuc uo Tromont, who
oponod a bottle of champagne Tho
Marqulso d'Escllgnac beamed upon
hor niece. Tromont found hor more
puzzling than ovor. "Sho suggests
tho chameleon," ho thought, "bIio has
moods. Beforo, sho was a tragic
muao; nt luncheon sho is an ndor-
ablo sybarite."

lovo to her, Robert. Can you do it?'
"But, marralne, I might as well
mnko lovo to a sister of charity."
"Thero was la Belle Helolse, and no
woman is Immune."
"I think sho Is engaged to somo
American cowboy who will como and
clnim hor, marralne."
His godmother was offended.
"Jtubblsh!" she snid. "She Is en
gnged to no one, Bob. Sho is an
idealist, a Rosalind; but that will not
prevent her from making an excel
lent wife."
"Sho is certainly very beautiful,"
said tho Due do Tromont, and ho told
Julia bo.
"You are vory beautiful," said tho
Due do Tremont to Miss Redmond, as
sho leaned on tho balcony of tho villa.
Tho bougalnvlllea leaned against her
breast. "When you stood in tho hos
pital under tho window and sang to
tho poor devils, you looked Hko an
angol."
"Poor things!" said Julia Redmond.
"Do you think thnt they liked it?"
"Liked it!" exclalmod tho young
man enthusiastically, "couldn't you
see by their fnces? Ono poor devil
snid to mo: 'One enn dlo better now,
Monsieur.' There wns no hopo for
him, it seoms."
Tromont nnd Marqulso d'Escllg
nac hnd docilely gono with Julia Red
mond overy day nt a certain hour to
tho different hospitals, whero Julia,
after rendering somo slight services
to tho nurses for Bho was not need
edsang for tho sick, standing in tho
outer hallway of the building opon on
overy side. Sho know that Sabron
was not among theso sick. Whero ho
wns or what Bounds his ears might
hear, sho could not know; but sho
sang for him, anu the fact put a
sweetness in hor voico that touched
tho ears of tho suffering and uplifted
those who woro not too far down to
be uplifted, and as for the dying, it
helped thorn, aB tho soldier said, to
dlo.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Of Course He Had Killed Eleven Men
and Never Been Licked, but at
That He Had Mistaken
Hit Vocation.
When wo opened tho old "Four X"
in Nevada, it was no time nt all be
fore a lively town was founded and
hundreds of people camo pouring in.
In thoso dayB every community had
Its terror. He was supposed to bo
able to outdrlnk, outyell, outshoot and
outright everything on legs in Ills Ju
risdiction. Sometimes ho was a free
lnnco and again ho was employed as
a sort of policeman. Wo wanted a
man to protect company property and
ono day a giant of a chap weighing
205 pounds and six feet tall applied for
tho place.
"Are you a fighter?" was tho first
question asked of him.
"I nm," replied he. "I've hnd 29
fights in seven weeks."
"Afraid of anything mortal?"
"Nothing mortal or Immortal."
"Shoot both handed?"
"I do."
"Uso the bowio knife?"
"Perfectly at home with it, sir."
"How many men hnvo you killed
this last year?"
"Well, this has been an off year
with me, as I wnB sick in bed for six
weeks nnd so I haven't got but
'loven."
"Suppose, now, that a terror from
somo other camp should como over
here to clean you out? Havo you ever
met any other terror and downod him
a genuine terror, from tho headwa
ters of Fighting creek?"
"I can't say that I over havo, sir
not a regular terror, sir."
"Then you can't tell how you would
act?"
"Why, I should probably fight him."
"Cut you can't say for sure. How
ever, come back at four o'clock this
afternoon."
Wo sent over to Cedar Flats, flvo
miles away, for tholr terror. Wo know
him to be tho genuine stuff, and when
ho arrived wo posted hlra as to what
was wanted. At four o'clock when our
alleged terror returned to tho shaft,
tho Cedar Flats terror suddenly
waltzed out on him with a halr-ralslng
whoop and called out:
"Whar's tho bloody, bloomln' hyena
who has been passing hlsself off
around here as a fighter? Whoop!
Maugh, Ugh! Somebody p'lnt him out
to mo and then tie my hands and legs
while 1 bite his ears off!"
Our alleged terror turned palo and
looked norvous and tho Cedar Flats
man pranced around cracking his
heels together nnd shouting:
"Whoop! Put him out! Let him
stand beforo mo! Tie mo all up in
knots, bend mo up in that bar'l, and
then I'll lick him or go ovor tho cliff!
Great snakes, but won't somebody
show mo tho fellow who says "
I pointed to our terror and the Ce
dar Flats man let out a scream and
rushed for him. The chap who had
only killed 'leven men Just fell right
down in a heap, and it was flvo min
utes boforo we could bring him to.
Ho wns whiter thnn ffour, and llmpsy
as n rng, and It was all of half an hour
before ho could walk away.
"How do you account for it?" I
asked hlra as ho was ready to go.
"I must havo gone In tho wrong busi
ness," ho gloomily replied.
"How do you mean?"
"I ought to havo been a preachor."

But tho old woman still talked on.

suggested a schomo whereby 200 gen
tlomon might be persuaded to pay
1,000 each for tho honor of being
Btyled baronets, or potty barons. To
