CHAPTER XVII Continued.
Sho hnd dono this for Bovcral days,
but now nho was restless. Sabron
was not In Algiers. No news had
been brought of him. Ills regiment
had been ordored out farther Into tho
desert that Booinod to stretch awny
Into Infinity, and tho vast cruel sands
know, and tho stars know whero
Sabron had fnllon and what was his
history, and they kept tho secret.
Tho marqulso inado herself aH
much at homo ns possible In Algiers,
put up with tho Inefficiency of natlvo
Borvants, and her duty was dono. Her
first romantic olan was over. Sabron
had recalled to hor tho Idyl of a lovo
nffalr of a quarter of a century bo
foro, but sho had been for too long
Maraulso d'EHcllgnno to go back to
an Ideal. Sho pined to havo her
nleco a duchess, and never spoko the
unfortunato Sabron's nnmo.
Thoy woro surrounded y fashion
ablo life. As soon as their arrival had
(boon mado known thoro had been a
flutter of cards and a passing of
carriages and automobiles, and this
worldly llfo addod to tho unhappl
noes and rostlossnoss of Julia. Among
tbo guests had been ono woman whom
Bho found sympathetic; tho woman's
eyes had drawn Julia to her. It was
CotntesBo do la Maino, a widow,
young as hersolf and, as Julia said,
vastly bettor-looking. Turning to
Tromont on tho balcony, when ho told
'her sho wan beautiful, sho said:
"Madnmo do la Maino is my ideal of
jlovollnoHB."
Tho young man wrinkled his fair
brow.
"Do you think so, Mademoiselle?
Whyr
"Sho has character as well as per
fect lines. Hor eyes look as though
they could weep and laugh. Her
mouth looks as though it could say
adorablo things."
"Tromont laughod softly and said:
"Go on, you amuso mo."
"And hor hands look as though they
could caress and comfort. I like hor
awfully. I wish sho wcro my frlond."
Tromont said nothing, and sho
glanced at him suddenly.
"Sho says such lovely things about
you, Monsieur."
"Iteally! Sho is too indulgent."
"Don't bo worldly," said Miss nod-
mond gravely, "bo human. I llko you
best bo. Don't you ngreo with mo 7"
"Madamo do la Maino is a very
charming woman," said tho young
man, and tho girl saw a chango como
ovor his features.
At this moment, as thoy stood so
together, Tromont pulling his mus
tacho and looking out through tho
bougalnvillca vinos, a dark flguro
mado its way through tho garden to
tho villa, catno and took ita position
undor tho balcony whoro tho duko and
Miss Redmond leanod. It was a na-
tivo, a man in filthy rags. Ho turned
his faco to Tromont and bowed low
to tho lady.
"Excellency," ho Bald In broken
French, "my namo Is Hammot Abou.
I was tho ordonnanco of Monsieur la
Capltalno do Sabron."
"What!" exclaimed Tromont, "what
did you Bay?"
"Ask him to como up hero," Bald
Julia Redmond, "or, no lot ub go
down to tho gardon."
"It Is damp," said Tromont, "lot mo
got you a shawl."
"No, no, I need nothing."
Sho had hurrlod beforo him down
tho llttlo stairs loading Into tho gar
don from tho balcony, and she had bo
gun to speak to tho natlvo beforo Tro
mont appeared. In tills recital ho ad
dressed his words to Julia nlono.
"I am a very poor man, Excollency,"
ho said in a mellifluous tono, "and very
sick."
"Havo you any money, Monsieur?"
"Pray do not suggest it," said tho
duko sharply. "Lot him fyill what ho
will; wo will pay him later."
"I havo been very sick," said tho
man. "I havo loft tho army. I do
not llko tho French urmy," said tho
native simply,
"You aro very frank," said Tromont
brutally. "Why do you como horo at
any rato?"
"Hush," Bald Julia Redmond Im
ploringly. "Do not anger him, Mon
j8lour, ho may havo nows." Sho asked;
'"Havo you news?" and thoro waa a
inoto in her volco that mado Tromont
Iglanco at hor.
"I havo seen tho excellency and
kr grandmother," said the native,
oA :
K-JjC J T9 H
""
"ninny times going Into tho garrison."
"What now a havo you of Captain
do Sabron?" nsknl tho girl directly.
Without replying, tho man said In u
melancholy voice:
"I was his ordonnanco, 1 saw him
fnll In tho hattlo of Dlrbal. I saw
him shot In tho side. I was shot, too.
Seo?"
Ho utnrted to pull away his rags.
Tromont clutched him.
"You beast," ho muttered, nnd
pushed him back. "If you havo any
thing to say, say It."
Looking at Julia Redmond's color
less faco, tho natlvo asked meaningly:
"Does tho excellency wish any
nows?"
"Yes," said Tromont, shaking htm.
"And if you do not givo It, It will be
tho worse for you."
"Monsieur lo Capltalno fell, nnd I
foil, too; I saw no moro."
Tromont said:
"You see tho follow Is half lunatic
nnd probably knows nothing about
Sabron. I shall put him out of tho
garden."
Rut Miss Redmond paid no atten
tion to her companion. She controlled
hor volco nnd nskod tho man:
"Was tho Capltalno do Sabron
nlono?"
"Except," Bald tho natlvo steadily,
with a glanco of disgust at tho duko,
"excopt for his llttlo dog."
"Ah!" exclaimed Julia Redmond,
with a catch in her volco, "do you
hear that? Ho must havo been his
servant. What was tho dog's nnmo?"
"My name," said tho native, "Is
Hammot Abou."
To her at thin moment Hammot
Abou was tho most important person
In North Africa.
"What was tho llttlo dog'a nnmo,
Hammot Abou?"
Tho man ralsod his eyes and looked
at tho whlto woman with admiration.
"Pitchouno," ho said, and saw tho
offoct.
Tromont saw tho effect upon her,
too.
"I havo a wlfo and ten children,"
said tho man, "and I llvo far away."
"Heavens! I haven't my purso,"
said Julia Redmond. "Will you not
glvo him something, Monslour?"
"Walt," Bald Tromont, "wait. What
olso do you know? If your lnforma-
"Now Speak Without Reserve."
tlon is worth anything to us wo will
pay you, don't bo afraid."
"Perhaps tho excellency's grand
mother would llko to hour, too," said
tho man nnlvoly.
Julia Redmond smiled: tho youth
ful Marquise d'EsclIgnac!
Onco moro Tromont aolzed tho man
by tho arm and shook him n little.
"If you don't tell what you havo to
say nnd bo quick about It, my dear
fellow, I shall hand you ovor to tho
police."
"What for?" said tho man, "what
havo I dono?"
"Woll, what havo you got to toll,
and how much do you want for It?"
"I want ono hundred francs for
this," and ho pulled out from his dirty
rags n llttlo packet and held it up
cautiously.
It looked liko a package of letters
and a man's pockotbook.
"You tnko it," sold tho Due do Tro
mont to Julia Redmond, "you tako It,
Madomolsolle." Sho did so without
hesitation; It wns evidently Sabron's
pocketbook, n leather ono with his
initials upon it, together with a llttlo
package of letters. On tho top she
saw hor letter to him. Her hand
trombled so that Bho could scarcoly
hold tho packngo. It seemed to bo all
that was loft to hor. Sho heard Tro
mont ask:
"Whoro did you got this, you mlsor
ablo dog?"
"After tho battle," said tho man
coolly, with evident truthfulnoss, "I
was vory sick. Wo were In camp bov-
oral days at , Then I got bettor
JmSL t

and went along tho (Tried river Dtnk
to look for Monslour lo CnpiUdue,
and I found this in tho sands."
"Do you bellevo him?" asked JalU
Redmond.
"Hum," said Tromont Ho did not
wish to tell her ho thought tho man
cnpablo of robbing tho dead body of
his master. Ho asked the native:
"Havo you no othor nowB?"
Tho man was silent. Ho clutched
tho rags at his breast and looked at
Julia Redmond.
"Ploaso glvo him aomo money, Mon
slour." "Tho dog!" Tromont nhook him
again, "Not yet." And ho said to
tho man: "If this Is all you havo to
tell wo will glvo you ono hundred
frnncB for this parcel. You can go
and don't return horo ngaln."
"Rut It Is not all," Bald tho native
quietly, looking at Julia.
Hor heart began to beat llko mad
and sho looked at tho man. Ills keen
dark eyes Boomed to plorco her.
"Monsieur," Bald tho American girl
boldly, "would you lcavo mo a mo
ment with htm? I think ho wnnts to
speak with mo nlono."
Hut tho Due do Tromont exclntmod
In surprise:
"To spenk with you alone, Mndomol
sello! Why should ho? Such a thing
Is not possible!"
"Don't go far," Bho begged, "but
leavo us n moment, I pray."
When Tromont, with great hesita
tion, took a fow Bteps away from
them and nlio stood faco to faco with
tho creaturo who had been with Sab
ron nnd seen htm fall, sho Bald earn
estly: "Now speak without reserve. Toll
mo everything."
Tho faco of tho man wns trans
formed. Ho beenme human, devoted,
ardent.
"Excellency," ho said swiftly In his
halting French, "I lovo Monsieur lo
Capltalno. Ho was so kind and such
a bravo soldier. I want to yo to find
Monsieur lo Cnpitnlnc, but I am ill
and too 'weak to walk. I bcliovo I
know whero ho is hid I want to go."
Tho girl breathed:
"Oh, can It bo possible that what
you say is true, Hammot Abou?
Would you really go If you could?"
Tho man mado, with a graceful
gesturo of his hand, a map in the
air.
"It was llko this?" ho said; "I
think ho draw himsolf up tho bank.
I followed tho track of his blood. I
wob too weak to go any farther, Ex
cellency." "And how could you go now?" she
asked.
"Ry caravan, like a merchant, bo
crotly. I would find him."
Julia Redmond put out a slim hand,
whlto ns a gardenin. Tho natlvo lift
ed it and touched his forehead with It
"Hammet Abou," sho Bald, "go
away for tonight and como tomorrow
wo will see you." And without
waiting to speak again to Monsieur
do Tromont, the natlvo slid away out
of tho garden like a shadow, as
though his limbs were not weak with
discaBo and hli breast shattered by
shot.
When Monsieur de Tremont had
walked onco around the garden, keep
ing his eyes nevertheless on the
group, ho came back toward Julia
Redmond, but not quickly enough, for
sho ran up tho stairs and into tho
houso with Sabron's packet in hoi
hnnd.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Two Lovely Women.
Thoro was music at tho Villa des
Uougalnvllleas. Miss Redmond sang;
not "Good-night, God Kcop You Safo,"
but othor things. Ever slnco her talk
with Hammet Abou sho had been,
if not gay, in good spirits, moro like
her old self, and the Marqulso d'EsclIg
nac begnn to think that tho Imago of
Charles do Sabron had not been cut
too deeply upon her mind. Tho mar
quise, from the loungo in the shadow
of tho room, enjoyed tho picture
(Sabron would not havo added it to
his collection) of hor nleco at tho
piano and tho Due de Tromont by hor
side. Tho Comtosso do la Maine sat
in n llttlo shadow of her own, musing
and enjoying tho plcturo of the Duo
do Tremont and Miss Redmond vory
indifferently. Sho did not sing; sho
hnd no parlor accomplishments. She
waa poor, a widow, and had a child
Sho was not a brilliant match.

Hunting on Lower Colorado.
To tho hunter of gamo, both large
and small, tho Colorado will appear

America, tho delta country about the

Its hunting, Is generally tho objective
of tho Colorado voyageur in any enso,
and for one whoso timo is limited the
most expeditious plan will bo to outfit
at Yuma and float down the rlvor to

With plenty of tlmo at ono's disposal,
It will bo worth while to roako tho

American Quart Boxes of Well-Graded
"No. 1" on
Tho stago of maturity at which
strawberries should be picked depends
upon tho distance they are to bo
Bhipped. When grown for tho local
market thoy should be picked when
throughly rlpo but not soft, sayo a new
farmers' bulletin, No. CGI, of tho
United States department of agricul
ture. If grown for a distant market
tho berries must bo picked beforo thoy
aro thoroughly ripe, but they Bhould
bo fully grown and about three-fourths
rIio. If picked beforo they ore colored
tho berries will shrink and wither,
making them utiflt for sale. Strawber
ries should be picked with a short
pleco of stem attached (about one
fourth to one-half Inch). Thoy should
novor bo slipped Trom tho stem, as
that spoils appearance and Injures
their shipping and keeping qualities.
Grading and Packing.
Uniformity in tho pack is essential
In order to obtain high prices for
Btrawbcrries, and this can bo secured
only when tho berries havo been care
fully graded and sorted. Some grow
ers havo tho berries graded in tho
flold.
A common practice in somo sections
Is to pick tho ripo berries of all grades
Into tho snmo box and when tho tray
Is full to tnko it to tho packing shed,
whero tho berries aro sorted nnd
packed. Tho graders dump tho ber
ries on a tnblo nnd pick out all green,
overripe or small berries. Tho othors
aro placed In tho boxes, ono of tho
graders arranging tho top layers In
such a way that the berries show to
best advantage. When berries aro
packed in this manner, caro should bo
taken not to put the small, Inferior
berries in tho center of tho box and
tho largo fine berries on top. The
fruit should bo uniform throughout
tho box, with tho top layer merely
placed to aid to tho attractiveness of
tho pack and to hold tho fruit In place.
Whero tho fancy pack Is put up, tho
berries should bo divided into two
grades.
After tho berries aro picked they
Bhould be placed In tho shade as soon
as possible, for heat injures the fruit
In a short time. The plckera should
not bo allowed to leave the filled

BUY THE BEST BINDER TWINE
Mways Best to Purchase Standard
Quality Loss From Breakage
Ought to Bo Avoided.
nuy whnt binder twlno will bo
needed for tho wheat crop early, so
as to got a good article. It Is always
best to buy of standard quality that
will not kink and knot up. A poor
quality of twine will glvo no end of
trouble In harvesting heavy grain.
Tho loss of tlmo caused by breakago
during harvest will moro than pay
for all tho best twlno needed in har
vesting tho crop:
Ropos for tho hay fork and for
hauling tho hny cocks to barrack or
rick, should bo of tho best quality
and the full length. A new rope,
particularly If It bo sisal, often
causes troublo becauso of Its stiffness,
If used as a hay fork ropo or to placo
whero It runs through a set of pul
leys, It is apt to tnnglo up until it has
been used for somo tlmo.
This troublo may bo avoided by
boiling tho ropo In wator. Coll tho
ropo In a largo soap boiler and cover
with wntcr and bring It to a boll. Tho
ropo 1b then to be taken out and
stretched out nnd allowed to dry,
when It will bo found to bo soft and

You can also apply a coat of white

Bhorter the time that elapses after tho
fruit Is picked beforo It Is put Into
refrigerator carB or refrigerator boxes
tho better It is for tho berries, which
will contlnuo to ripen rapidly until
they nre chilled.
Large Crates Preferable.
Many types of boxes and crates aro
used for strawberries, but tho ten
dency is toward a standard full-slzo
qunrt box. In fact, In several states it
Is illegal to offer for sale a short box;
shipments to these markets must bo
handled to conform with tho laws.
Tho boxcB now In use nre tho Ameri
can or standard quart berry box,
which holds a full quart; tho octagon
box, nnd tho square Bcalo-board typo
of quart and pint boxes. Tho Ameri
can typo is tho one that Is most gen
erally used; It Is full size, strongly
made, and packs well in tho crato. Tho
octagon box Is objectionable on ac
count of its shapo and tho rnlscd bot
tom. A long, narrow box Is not sat
isfactory, because It is inconvenient to
pick up without grasping tho sides
between tho thumb and fingers, and
when handled In this wny tho berries
aro likely to be mashed. Moreover,
tho sides of boxes with raised bottoms
often split off below tho bottom, caus
ing tho boxes to tip over.
Tho scale-board boxes aro cheaper
than splint boxes, but ns tho latter aro
moro substantial they aro preferred
In nearly nil markets. Tho typo of
crato depends on the boxes used. Any
crato substantially built and well ven
tilated is satisfactory, but cost is an
important consideration, as they aro
not returned to tho shipper.
Tho largest crato that can bo
handled conveniently is tho ono to use,
as tho largo ones aro cheaper in pro
portion to tho quantity of berries they
carry. Tho 24 or 32-quart crates aro
genorally used, though in some sec
tions tho GO-quart crate is employed.
Crates with hinged lids have an ad
vantage over others in that they pro
vide for tho Inspection of the fruit to
better advantage. The hinged-lid
crate Invites inspection and this is a
point in Its favor.
PLAN TO SPRAY VEGETABLES
Machinery as Necessary for Garden
as for Orchard Liquid Should
Be Put on In Fine Mist
A spraying machlno is as necessary
for tho garden as tho orchard. Somo
folks uso a common water sprinkler
for applying spraying mixtures; but
this does little good, becauso It is not
only a great wasto of material, but tho
plants aro not fully covered In this
way.
Tho liquid Bhould bo put on In a flno
mist, not as a heavy rain. To apply
pads green in water various cheap
hand sprayers aro on tho market now.
Thoy need not bo of copper for
this purpose, as pads green will not
corrodo Iron any moro than does wa
ter; but when bordeaux mixturo Is
used as a carrlor for tho arsenical
poison (and wo would strongly urgo
that this bo dono In overy caso, as It
must bo dono if wo put our potato
growing operations on a safo basis)
then tho sprayor must bo mado of
coppor nnd brass Iron would bo eat
en away in a short time.
Tho modern knapsack sprayer, which
possibly is tho best Implement for
spraying smaller patches of potatoes
up to threo or four acres cucumbers
or othor vines, and for goneral uso
as a sprayer machlno in tho garden
and small vlneynrd, will lnvolvo a
first expenso of from $12 to $15, but it
will pay In any large-sized garden.
Pure Blood Speaks Loud.
With hens, as with cattle and hogs,
puro blood speaks loudor than "water-blood,"
and ns tho farmer cannot
afford to harbor scrub hogs and cat
tle, bo ho cannot afford to feed and
care for mongrel fowls.
