CHAPTER XXVIII Continued.
19
Later, when the others had left
them to themselves In the music
room, Sabron sat In n big chair by tho
open window nnd Julia Redmond
lilayed to him. Tho dny wns warm.
There was n smell of spring flowers
In tho ulr and tho vases wero tilled
with girdles and sweet peas. Rut
Sabron smullcd only tho violets In
Julia's girdle. Her hands gently wan
dered over the keys, llndlng tho tuno
that Sabron longed to hear. She
played tho air through, nnd It seemed
as though she wero nbout to sing tho
first verse. She could not do so, nor
could she speak.
Sabron rose nnd catno over to
where sho sat.
There was n low chnlr near tho
Piano and he took It, leaning forward,
his hands clasped about his knees.
It hnd been the life-long dream of this
simple-hearted ofllccr that one day ho
would speak out his soul to tho wom
an ho loved. The time hnd come.
She snt before him In her unpreten
tious dress. He was not worldly
enough to know It cost a great price,
nor to nppreclate that sho wore no
Jewels nothing except tho flowers ho
had sent. Her dark hair was clus
tered about her ears and her beauti
ful eyes lost their fire in tenderness.
"When a man has been very cIobb
to death, Mademoiselle, he looks nbout
for tho reason of his resurrection.
When he returns to tho world, ho
looks to see what there is in this Ufo
to make it worth living. I nm young
at the beginning of my enreer. I
may hnvo before me a long llfo In
which, with health nnd friends, I mny
find much happiness. These things
certninly have their worth to n nor
mal man but I cannot make them
real before my eyes juBt yet. As I
look upon tho world to which I have
returned, I see nothing but a woman
nnd her love. If I cannot win her for
my wife, if I cannot have her love "
Ho made an expressive gesture which
more Impressively than words Implied
now completely he laid down every
thing else to her lovo nnd his.
He said, not without a certain dig
nity: "I am quite poor; I have only
my soldier's pay. In Normandy I own
a little property. It is upon a hill
nnd looks over the sen, with npplo
orchards and wheat fields. There Is a
house. These are my landed estates.
My manhood and my lovo are my for
tune. If you cannot return my lovo I
shall not thank Tremont for bringing
me back from Africa."
Tho American girl listened to him
with profound emotion. She discov
ered every second how well sho un
derstood him, and ho had much to
say, because It was tho first timo he
had ever spoken to her of his love.
Sho hnd put out both her hands and,
looking nt him fully, said simply: x
"Why It seems to mo you must
know how I feel how can you help
knowing how I feel?"
After n little he told her of Nor
mandy, and how ho had spent his
childhood and boyhood In tho chateau
overlooking tho wide sea, told her
how he hnd wntched tho ships nnd
used to drenm of the countries be
yond the horizon, nnd how tho apple
blossoms filled tho orchards in tho
spring. He told her how ho longed
to go back, nnd that his wandering
llfo had made it impossible for years.
Julia whispered: "Wo shnll go thero
In the spring, my friend."
Ho was chnrmlng as he sat there
holding her hands closely, his fine
eyes bent upon her. Sabron told hor
things that had been deep In his
heart and mind, waiting for her here
so many months. Finally, everything
merged into his present life, nnd tho
benuty of whnt he said dazed hor llko
nn enchnnted sen. Ho wns a soldi r,
n mnn of action, yet n dreamer. Tho
fact that his hopes wero about to bo
realized made him tremblo, nnd as ho
talked, everything took light from this
victory. Even his houso In Normandy
began to seem a fitting setting for tho
beautiful American.
"It is only a Louis XIII chntenu; It
stands very high, Hiirrounded by or
chards, which in the spring nro whlto
as snow."
"Wo shall go thero In tho spring,"
she whispered.
Sabron stopped speaking, his rev
erio was done, nnd ho wns silent ns
tho Intensity of his lovo for her
eurged over him. He lifted her deli
cate hands to his lips. "It is April
now," ho said, and his voice shook,
"it is spring now, my love."
At Julia's side wub a slight touch.
Sho cried: "Pltchouno!" Ho put his
paws on her knees nnd lookoU up Into
her face.
"Rruuet lias brought him hero," said
Sabron, "and that means tho good
chnp Is attending to his own lovo
making." Julia laid hor hand on Pltchouno'B
bond "He will lovo tho Normandy
beach, Chwlos."
"Ho will lovo tho forests," said
Sabron; "thero nro rabbits thero."
On tho little dog's head tho two

hnnds met nnd clnsped. "Pltchoune
is tho only one In the world who la
not do trop," said Julia gently.
Sabron, lifting her hand again to
his lips, kissed It long, looking Into
her eyes. Retweon that great mys
tery of the nwnkcnlng to bo fulfilled,
they drew near to each other nearer.
Pltchouno sat beforo them, watting.
Ho wagged his tnll nnd wnltcd. No
ono noticed him. Ho gnve a short
bnrk that apparently disturbed no

quietly trotted ucross the room to tho
hearth-rug, sitting thero meditative

empty grate, whero on tho warm
spring day thero was no fire.
Pltchouno lay down before tho fire

paws, his bcnutlful eyes still discreet
ly turned nwny from the lovers. Ho
drew n long contented breath as dogs

thrilling adventures had come to an
end. Reforo fires on tho friendly
hearth of the Louis XIII chateau,
whero hunting dogs wero carved in
tho stono nbovo the chimney, Plt
chouno might contlnuo to dream In
tho daj'B to come. Ho would hunt
rabbits in tho still forests nbovo tho
wheat fields, and Ilvo again in tho
firelight his great adventures on tho
desert, tho long runs across tho snndB
on his Journey back to France.
Now ho closed his eyes. As a faith

phere of happiness about him. Ho
had been tho sole companion of a lone
ly man, now ho had become part of
a family.
THE END.
Explaining His One Little Lapse.
"Rruddren and slstnlis," in trium
phant tones announced Brother Bogus,
during tho recent revival In Ebenezer
chapel, "since I wns converted and
washed whiter dan snow, two mont'a
ago, I has been widout sin, bless do
Lawd! I's sanctified, and couldn't

Woman Destroys Bomb.
What might havo been a disastrous
explosion was provented when Mrs.
Paulino Siegol picked a bomb, with a
lighted fuso attached, from the door
stop of tho house of her neighbor,
Mrs. Salvatoro Corso, 1C21 South
Franklin streot, Philadelphia. Mrs
Siegol hurled It into tho Btreot. This

and only a section exploded.
Mrs. Siegol saw two men place a
queer-looking pnekago on tho step, ap
ply a match, and run away. Sho
grasped tho packngo and hurled it in

It contained six sticks of dynamlto
nnd n Inrgo quantity of gunpowdor.
