Sabron could not rniily. Her rib

his eyes llku n knloldoscope. Hlfl
flush Imd mndo him moro natural. In
btit invalid stuto, with hln lialr brushed
back from IiIb flnu brow, there wan
something nplrltuul and beautiful
about hlin. Tim Mnrqulso d'Escllgnnc
looked oiv a tnnn who hud been fur
uid who had determined of his own uc
son! to oomo back. Sho Bald mora
rJitl', putting her hand affectionately
over his:
"(Jot strong, monsieur got woll Eat
dl tho good things wo nro mnklng for
rou. I daro nay that the army cannot
paro yon. It needs bravo hearts."
Snbron wns no nglUitod after her
floparturo that tho nurso said ho must
rocolvo no more visits for soveraf
days, and lie mcdltntcd and longed
and thought and wondered, nnd near
ly cureod tho life that had brought
him back to a world which must bo
lanoly for him lioncefortli.
Whon ho sat up In bed he wan a
shadow. Ho had a book to read nnd
road a fow lines of It. but ho put it
town as tlio letters blurred. Ho was
adtting bo, dreaming and wondering
ham truo or how falBo It was that ho
had soon Julia Kodtnond como several
times to his bedside during tho early
days of his Illness hero In tho hos
pital. Then ucross his troubled mind
seddonly enmo tho words thnt he had
bwinl her sing, and ho tried to recall
thorn. Tho Hod Cross nurso who so
BbartUibly sang in tho hospital oamo
to tho wards and began her mission.
Ono nftor another bIio sang familiar
songs.
"How tho poor dovlla must lovo It!"
Babron thought, ,nnd ho blessed her
lor charity.
How familiar was her voice! Hut
that was only bocauso ho was so 111.
Rat ho began to wonder and to doubt,
and across tho distance camo tho
taotaa of tho tuno, tho melody of tho
ong that had haunted him for many
months:
Ood krop you nitfc, tny lovo,
All through tlio nlKlit;

Whon sho had finished singing thero
iroro toars on tho Roldlor's cheeks and
ho was not ashamed. Pltchouuo, who
romembored tho tuno nB woll, crept
up to him and laid his head on his
master's hand. Sabron had Justtlmo
to wlpo away tho toars when tho Duo
do Tromont camo In.
"Old fellow, do you fool up to soo
ilng Miss Rodmoml for a few mo
tmonts?"
Whon sho camo In ho did not know
irbethor ho most cloarly saw hor sim
ple summer dress with tho slnglo
Jowol at hor throat, her largo hat that
franiod hor faco, or tho gontlo lovoly
ifaco all swootnoBs and sympathy. Ho
fcoliovod hor to bo tho futuro Duch
csso do Tromont.
"Monslour do Sabron, wo nro all so
glad you aro gottlng well."
"Thank you, Modomolsollo."
Ho Boomed to look at her from a
rareat dlstanro, from tho dlstnnco to
tlio end of which ho had bo wearily
been traveling. Sho was lovellor than
ho had dreamed, moro rarely sweet
and adorable
"Did you recognlzo tho llttlo sonc.
Monslour?"
"It was good of you to sing It."
"This Is not tho first tlmo I novo
itoen you, Monsieur do Sabron. 1
Icarao whon you wero too 111 to knov
)ot It."
"Then I did not dream," said tho
officer simply.
Ho was as proud as ho was poor,
jllo could only suppose hor engaged
(to tho Due do Tromont. It explained
hor prosenco horo. In his wildest
Id reams ho could not suppose that sho
lhad followed him to Afrlcn. Julia, on
Ihor part, having dono an extrnordlu-
iry nnd wonderful thing, like overy
pravo woman, wub seized with torror
land a sudden cownrdlco. Sabron,
ftor all, was a Btrangor. How could
sho know his feelings for hor? Sho
spent a mlserablo day. Ho wns out
of all danger; In n fortnight ho
might Icnvo tho hospital. She dd
not feel that sho could soo him
again ns things wero. Tho Com-
tosBo do la Mnlno had returned to
Parln ob Boon as Tromont camo in
from tho desort.
"Ma tnnto," snid Julia Redmond to
tho MnrqulBo d'Escllgnnc, "can wo go
oacK to Franco immediately?"
mint, In surprlso and delight. "Hub
ert will bo enchnntcd, but ho would
not bo able to leavo his friend so
soon."
"He need not," said the girl, "nor
need you leave unless you wish."
The .Marquise d'Escllgnnc entertain
ed a thoiiHnnd thoughts. Sho had not
studied young girl's minds for a long
tlmo. Sho had heard that tho mod
ern American girl was very extreme
and she held her In rather light es
teem. Julia Redmond sho had con
sidered to bo out of tho general rule.
"Was it possible," sho wondered,
"that Julia, In comparing Tromont
with tho Invalid, found Robert more
attractive?"
"Julia," sho said severely, as though
her niece wero n child, pointing to n
chair, "sit down."
Slightly smiling, tho young girl
obeyed her aunt.
".My dear, I hnvo followed your ca
prices from Kranco to Africa. Only
by pleading lienrt-fnlluro and mortal
Illness could I dissuade you from go
ing Into tho desort with tho enravan.
Now, without any apparent reason,
you wish to return to Franco."
"Tho reason for coming horo has
been accomplished, ma tanto. Mon
slour do Sabron has been found."
"And now thnt you have found him,"
said tho mnrqiilso reproach fulfy, "and
you discover that ho is not nil your
romantic fancy Imagined, you nro go
ing to run away from him. In short,
you mean to throw him over."
"Throw him over, ma tanto!" mur
mured tho girl. "I hnvo never had
tho chance. Hotwccn Monsieur do
Sabron nnd myself thero Is only
friendship."
"Fiddlesticks!" said tho Mnrqulso
d'Escllgnnc Impatiently. "I hnvo no
understanding of tho modern young
fl felilll
tlrely unconvonttonnl nnd nns ocen
slnro wo left France. It is I who
should speak to tho Cnpltnlno do'
Snbron, You art- ho extremely rich
that It will bo a dllllfult matter for a
poor nnd honorable young man. . .
. Indeed, my dear, I may us well tell
you that I shall do so when wo ronott
home."
"Oh," said tho girl, turning per
fectly palo nnd stepping forwnrfl Uf
ward her aunt, "If you consider Bticli
a thing ,1 flliall leave for Amorlca nt
once,"
Tho Mnrqulso d'Escllgnnc gave a
petulant sigh,
"How Imposslhlo you nro, Julia.
Understand mo, my dear, I do not
want a woman of my faintly to bo a
coquette. I do not want It snld that
you aro an American lllrt It Is In bad
taste and entirely misunderstood in
the Faubourg St.-Oormaln."
Tho girl, bewildered by her aunt's
attitude nnd extremely troubled by
tho threat of tho mnrrlago conven
tion, snld:
"Don't you understand? In this caso
It Is pecullnrly delicate. Ho might
ask mo from n sense of honor."
"Not In nny sense," said tho Mnr
qulso d'Rscllgnnc. "It Iiiib not oc
curred to the poor young ofllccr to
suppose for a moment thnt n. young
woman with millions, ns you nro so
fortunnto to bo, would dcrango her
self llko this to follow him. If I
thought so I would not have brought
you, Julln. What I hnvo dono, I havo
dono solely for your pence of mind,
my child. This young man loves you.
Ho believes thnt you lovo him, no
doubt. You havo given hlru sufllclcnt
renson, heaven knows! Now," said
hor aunt emphatically, "I do not in
tend thnt you should break his heart."
It was moro tlinn likely that the
Mnrqulso d'Escllgnnc wns looking
back twcnty-flvo yenis to a time,
when ns a rich American, she had put
aside her love for a penniless soldier
with an Inslgnlllcnnt title. Sho re
membered how sho had followed his
cumpnlgn. She folded her lorgnon
nnd looked nt her niece. Julia Red
mond saw a cloud pass over her aunt's
tranquil face. Sho put hor nrma
around hor and kissed her tenderly.
"You really think then, ma tanto,
that ho will como to Paris?"
"Without n doubt, my dear."
"You think he enres, ma tanto?"
Her aunt kissed her nnd laughed.
"I think you will be happy to a bour
geois oxtont. Ho Is a fine man."
"Hut do I need to promise you?"
asked tho girl. "Don't you know?"
"I shnll bo perfectly nshamed of
you," snld tho Marqulso d'Escllgnnc.
"If you aro anything but a woman of
henrt nnd decision In this matter."
Evidently sho waited, and Julia Red
mond, slightly bowing her lovoly head
In deferenco to tho older lady who
had not married her first lovo, said
obediently:
"I promlso to do as you wish, ma
tanto."
