CHAPTER XX}—Continued, Pitchoune 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 he choose? Without a scent a dog does nothing. His nos- trils are his instinet. His devotion, | his faithfulness, his intelligence, his | heart—all come through his nose. A! man’s heart, they say, is in his stom- ach—or in his pocket. A dog's is in| his nostrils. If Pitchoune had chosen | the wrong direction, this story would never have been written Michette did not give birth to the sixth puppy. in the stables of the garrison, for nothing. Nor had Sabron saved him on the night of the memorable dinner for nothing. With his nose choune smelt to north and south, flat to the sands Pit east and to west, took a scent to the | cast, decided ou it—for what reason | will never be told—and followed it | Fatigue and hunger were forgotten ! as hour after hour Plichoune ran across the Sahara Mercifully, the | sun had been clouded by the pre- cursor of a windstorm.

The oasis | was the only sign of life in five hun- dred miles. There was very ttle left in his small body. He lay down, pant ing, but his bright spirit was unwill ing just then to leave his form and hovered near him. In the religion of Tatman dogs alone have souls. Pitchoune panted aud dragged him- self to a pool! of water around which the green palms grew, and he drank and drank. Then the little desert wayfarer hid himself in the bushes! and slept till moming. All night he! was racked with convulsive twitches but he slept and in his dreams he | killed a young chicken and ate it.

Pitchotune shook out his short | hairy body and came out of the oasis pool into the sunlight and trotted into | the Arabian village. | * * » ® * . » i to occasions when surpasses an and the hu! Fatou Anni parched corn in a bra- | zier before her house Her house was a mud hut with yellow walls. It had no roof and was open to the aky. Fatou Anni was ninety years old, straight as a lance—straight as one of the lances the men of the village carried when they went to dispute with white people. These lances with | which the young men had fought, had won them the last battle. They had been victorious on the field. Fatou Anni was the grandmother of many men. She had been the mother of many men Now she parched corn tranquilly, prayerfully. “Allah! that the corn should not burn; Allah! that it should be sweet: Allah! that her men should be al ways successful.” She was the fetish of the settle ment. In a single blue garment, her black scrawny breast uncovered, the thin veil that the Fellaheen wear pushed back from her face, her fine eyes were revealed and she might have been a priestess as she bent over her com! “Allah! Allah Akbar!” Rather than anything should hap pen to Fatou Anni, the settlement would have roasted its enemies alive, torn them in shreds. Some of them sald that she was two hundred years old. There was a charmed ring drawn arouns ner house.

Here and thers the sun-touched pools gave Mlfe and reason to the oasis. Fatou Anni parched her corn. Her barbaric chant was Interrupted by a sharp bark and a low pleading whine She had never heard sounds just like that. The dogs .of the village were great wolflike creatures. Pit choune’s bark was angelic compared with theirs. He crossed the charmed circle drawn around her house, and did not fall dead, and stood before her, whining. Fatou Anni left her| corn, stood upright and looked at Pit- choune. an apparition. The not fallen dead proved that he was beloved of Allah. He was, perhaps, a genie, an afrit.

He weakly put up his hand to shade his sight, and a cotton awning, supported by four bamboo poles, was swiftly raised over his head. He saw objects and took cogni- zance of them. On the floor in the low doorway of a mud hut sat three litttle naked children covered with flies and dirt. He was the guest of Fatou Anni. These were three of her hundred great-great-grandohildren, The bables were playing with a little dog. Sabron knew the dog but could not articulate his name. By his side sat the woman to whom he owed his life. Her vell fell over her face. She intelligently, breath he drew. He asked iu Arable: “Where am 17” “In the hut of victory,” Anni. Pitchoune overheard the voice ana came to Sabron’s side. His master murmured: “Where are we, my friend?” The dog leaped on his bed and licked his face. Fatou Anni, with a whisk of straw, swept the flies from him. A great weakness spread its wings above him and he fell asleep. Days are all alike to those who lle in mortal sickness. The hours. are In tensely colorless and they slip and slip and slip into painful wakefulness, into fever, into drowsiness finally, and then into weakness. The Capitaine de Sabron, although he had no tamily to speak of, did pos- seas, unknown to the Marquise d'Es. cligeae, an old aunt in the provinces, and a handful of heartless cousina who were Indifferent to him. Nevertheless he clung to life and in the hut of Fatou Anni fought for existence. Every time that he was conscious he struggled anew to hold to the thread of life Whenever he grasped the thread he vanquished, and whenever he lost it, ke went down, down. Fatou Anni cherished him.

It was all she could do for a captive Toward sundown, for the firet time Sabron felt a little better, and after twenty-four hours’ absence, Pitchoune whined at the hut door, but would not come in.

They cannot distinguish many colors, and most of them usually give the ap pearance of being gray. The cause lies in the constitution of the retina, which microscopically consists of rods and cones. If a certain part of the cones is wanting the sensation they arouse is also wanting. A blind man who does not seo at all is not much more deceived by his sight tran the color blind man. Even the normal eye has not cones fine enough to detect ultra violet rays and electric rays. Soldiers’ Winter Clothing, The soldiers of Japan have learned the value of paper clothing for winter wear.
