CHAPTER XXI Continued.
Pltchouno ran with his nose to the
ground. There were several trails for
a dog to follow on that apparently un
trodden page of desert history. Which
one would ho choose? Without a
scent n dog does nothing. His nos
trils nro his Instinct. His devotion,
his faithfulness, his Intelligence, his
heart all como through his nose. A
man's heart, thoy say, Is In his stom
achor In Ills pocket. A dog's Is In
his nostrils. If Pltchoune had chosen
the wrong direction, this story would
never havo been written. Mlchetto
did not give birth to the sixth puppy,
in tho stables of the garrison, for
nothing. Nor had Sabron saved him
on the night of tho memorable dinner
for nothing.
With his noso flat to the sands Plt
chouno smelt to east and to west, to
north nnd south, took a scent to tho
east, decided on It for what reason
will nover bo told and followed It.
Fatigue and hunger were forgotten
as hour after hour Pltchouno ran
across tho Sahara. Mercifully, tho
sun had been clouded by tho pro
cursor of a windstorm. Tho air was
almost cool. Mercifully, the wind did
not ariso until tho llttlo terrier hnd
pursued his course to tho end.
There aro occasions when an ani
mal's intolllgenco surpasses tho hu
man. When, toward evening of tho
twolvo hours that It had taken him
to reach a certain point, ho camo to
a settlement of mud huts en the bor
ders of an oasis, ho was pretty nearly
at tho end of his strength. The oasis
was the only sign of llfo In five hun
dred miles. Thoro was very llttlo loft
in his Bmall body. Ho lay down, pant
ing, but his bright spirit was unwill
ing Just then to loavo his form and
hovored near him. In the religion of
Tatman dogs alono havo souls.
Pltchouno panted aud dragged him
sqlf to a pool of wator around which
tho green palms grow, and ho drank
and drank. Thou tho llttlo desert
wayfarer hid himself In tho bushes
and slopt till morning. All night ho
waB racked with convulsive twitches,
but ho slept and in his dreams ho
killed a young chicken and ate It. In
tho morning ho took a bath in tho
pool, and tho sun roso whilo ho swam
In tho water.
If Sabron or Miss Redmond could
hnvo soon him ho would havo seom- i
tho epltomo of heartless egolBtn. Ho
was tho epltomo of wisdom. Instinct
and wisdom sometimes go closoly to
gether. Solomon was only Instlnc
tlvo when ho asked for wisdom. The
epicurean Lucullus, when dying, asked
for a certain Nile fish cooked In
wine.
Pltchouno Bhook out his short
hairy body and camo out of tho oasis
pool into tho sunlight and trotted Into
the Arabian village.
Fatou Ann! parched corn In a bra
zier beforo hor houso. Her houso
was a mud hut with yellow walls. It
had no roof and was opon to tho sky.
Fatou Anni was ninety years old,
straight as a lance Btralght as ono
of tho lances tho men of tho vlllago
carried whon they wont to dlsputo
With whito people. These lances with
which tho young men had fought, had
won them tho Inst battle. Thoy hnd
been victorious on tho field.
Fatou Ann! was tho grandmother
of many men. Sho had been tho
mother of many men. Now sho
parched corn tranquilly, prayerfully.
"Allah! that the corn should not
Burn; Allah! that it should be sweet;
Allah! that her men should bo al
ways successful."
She was the fetish of tho settle
ment. In a Blnglo blue garment, hor
black scrawny breast uncovered, tho
thin veil that the Fellaheen wear
pushed back from her face, her lino
oyos wero revealed and sho might
havo been a priestess as sho bent
over her corn!
"Allah! Allah Akbarl"
Rathor than anything should hap
pen to Fatou Annl, tho settlement
would havo roasted its enemies nllvo,
torn them in' 8hreds. Somo of thorn
said that she was two hundred years
old. There was a charraod ring
drawn around her house. People sup
posed that if any creature crossod It
uninvited, it would fall dead.
The sun had risen for an hour und
tho air was still cool. Overhead, the

earliest childhood tho llttlo girl's
hands and face are washed, and sho
evades dress stains, combs her hair

bluo as a turquoise floor, and against
it, black and portentous, flow tho vul

Fatou Annl parched her corn. Her
barbaric chant was Interrupted by a
sharp bark and a low pleading whine.
Sho had never henrd sounds Just
llko that Tho dogs of tho village
were great wolfllkc creatures. Pit
chouno's bark was angelic compared
with theirs. Ho crossed tho charmed
circle drawn around her house, and
did not fall dead, and stood before
her, whining. Fntou Annl loft her
corn, stood upright and looked at Plt
chouno. To her tho Irish terrier was
nn apparition. Tho fact that ho had
not fallen dead proved that ho was
beloved of Allah. Ho was, perhaps, a
gcnlc, nn afrit.
Pltchouno fawned at hor feet. Sho
murmured a lino of tho Koran. It did
not seom to affect his demonstrative
affection. Tho woman bent down to
him after making a pass ngalnst tho
Evil Rye, nnd touched him, and Plt
chouno licked her hand.
Fntou Annl screamed, dropped him,
went Into the houso and made her
nblutlons. When sho camo out Plt
chouno sat patiently beforo tho
pnrched corn, and ho again camo
crawling to her.
The Arabian woman lived In tho
last hut of tho vlllago. Sho could
sntlsfy her curiosity without shocking
her neighbors. Sho bent down to
scrutinize Pltchouno's collar. There
wns a sacred medal on It with sacred
Inscriptions which sho could not read.
Hut as soon as she had freed him this
time, Pltchouno tore himself away
from her, flew out of tho sacred ring
nnd disappeared. The ho ran back,

"Where am IT"
"In tho hut of victory," said Fatou
Annl.
Pltchouno overheard tho voice and
came to Sabron's side. Ills mnstor
murmured:
"Whoro nro wo, my friend?"
Tho dog leaped on his bed and licked
his face. Fatou Annl, with a whisk of
strnw, swept tho flies from him A

him and he fell asleep.

Tho Capltalno do Sabron, although
ho had no family to speak of, did pos
sess, unknown to tho Marquise d'Es
cllgnac, nn old aunt In tho provinces,
and n handful of heartless cousins who
wero Indifferent to him. Nevertheless
he clung to llfo and In the hut of Fatou
Annl fought for existence. Kvory time
that ho was conscious he struggled
anew to hold to tho thread of llfo.
Whenever he grasped the thread ho
vanquished, and whenovor ho lost It,
ho went down, down. '
Fatou Annl cherished him. Ho was
a soldier who had fallen In tho battle
against her sons and grandsons. Ho
wns n man nnd a strong one, and she
despised women. He was her prey
and ho was her reward and sho cared
for him; as sho did so, she became
maternal.
His eyes which, when ho wbb con
scious, thanked her; his thin hands
that moved on tho rough bluo robo
thrown over him, tho devotion of the
dog found a responsive chord in tho
grent-grnndmothej'B heart. Once he
smiled at ono of tho nnked, blg-bolllod
great-great-grandchildren. Benl Has
san, three years old, camo up to Sab
ron with his fingers In his mouth
and chattered llko a bird. This proved
to Fatou Annl that Sabron had not
the Kvll Eye. No o'no but tho children
were admitted to tho hut, but tho sun
and tho flies nnd tho cries of the vil
lage camo In without permission, and
now and then, when the winds arose,
he could hear the stirring of the palm
trees.
Sabron wns reduced to skin and
bone. His nourishment was insuffi
cient, and tho absence of all decent
caro was slowly taking him to death.
It will never bo known why he did not
die.
Pltchouno took to making long ex
cursions. Ho would bo absent for days,
and In his clouded mind Sabron
thought tho dog was reconnoltering for
him over tho vast pink sea without
there which, If ono could sail across
as in a ship, ono would sail to France,
through tho wulls of mellow old Tarns
con, to tho chateau of good King Iteno;
ono would sail as the moon sails, and
through an open window ono might
hear the sound of n woman's voice
singing. Tho song, ever illusive and
Irritating In its persistency, tantalized
his sick cars.
Sabron did not know that ho would
havo found tho chateau shut had he
sailed there In tho moon. It was as
well that he did not know, for his wan
dering thought would not have known
whoro to follow, and there was repose
In thinking of tho Chateau d'Escllg

his side, fanned him with a fan sho
had woven. Tho great-great-grandchildren
on tho floor in tho mud fought
together. Thoy qtinrroled over bits ol
colored glass. Sabron'B breath cam
panting, Without, ho heard the criei
of tho warriors, tho lance-bearers he
heard tho cries of Fatou Annl'B sons
who wore going out to battle. The
French soldlors wero in n diBtant part
of tho Sahara and Fatou Annl's grand
children wero going out to pillage and
destroy. Tho old woman by his Bide
cried out and beat her breast. Now
and thon she looked at him curiously,
as If sho saw death on his pale face.
Now that all her sons and grandsons
had gone, ho waB tho only man left in

Great "City Beautiful" Movement in Birmingham
BIRMINGHAM. ALA. This city Is conducting a rcmarkablo "city beautiful"
movement, initiated and encouraged by the city government, but actually
carried on by tho people generally Soon after tho first appeal, tho boya In
all parts of tho city wero cleaning,
planting and caring for tho trees and
flowers and hedges. From the Indi
vidual efforts of tho boys tho work
was taken up In an organized way by
tho Boy Scouts. One of theso com
panies was Instrumental In calling to
Birmingham Warren II. Manning, tho
well-known landscape architect, and
as a result of his visit ho was retained
to draw plans for the civic Improve
ment development of Birmingham
nnd tho country surrounding it for
many miles. Largo corporations and manufacturing plants caught the spirit
and expended largo sums In Improving their properties. Miles of fences
necessary nt furnaces and railroad yards wero whitewashed and painted;
woods wero cut and In their place grass was planted; Ivy and vines wore
plnntod to cover brick walls and ugly buildings. Tho street railway system
co-operated by mnklng Its right of way as clean and pretty as possible. Not
only wore the properties of homo owners Improved, but tho movement spread
to the Improvement of vacant lots, which In Birmingham as In other cities,
wore an oyo-soro for years. Permission of tho owners was secured to clean
up tho lots and many of them wero transformed and not a few ofthem
turned Into playgrounds for the children.
George B. Ward, president of tho board of city commissioners, says:
"Today thoro aro fow houses In Birmingham among tho white population in
which thoro Is not at least ono person actively engaged In tho city beautiful
movomont nnd doing something to further tho work. Among tho negro
population tho city has met with hearty and useful response. Tho basis of
tho movement Is found In individual endeavor, but asslstanco is rendered by
women's clubs, professional organizations, Boy Scouts, railroads, manu
facturers and corporations."
Important emphasis is given the movement as a part of a city govern
mental function.

Not long ago a famous physician

Philadelphia Cow That Knew What She Wanted
PHILADELPHIA. Mounted Policeman William Major was at Harvoy avo

Woll, to make a long story short, a pail was brought and tho woman,
