CHAPTER V.
Finally he Ix-san to speak of what
the English call sport, and he told
Buch stories of the money which he had
lost over which of two cocks could kill
the other, or which of two men could
strike the other the moat In a light for
a prize, that I was filled with astonlsh
bent. He was ready to bet upon any
thing In the most wonderful manner,
and when I chanced to see a shooting

Musketry.
would see more than me, twenty-flve
francs a star,' and it was only when I
explained that my purse was In the
hands of the brigands that he would
give over the Idea.
Well, we cHatted away In this very
amiable fashion until the day began to
break, when suddenly we heard a great
volley of musketry from somewhere in
the front of us. It was very rocky and
broken ground, and I thought, al
though I could see nothing, that a gen
eral engagement had broken out. The
(Bart laughed at my Idea, however, and
explained that the sound came from
the English camp, where every man
emptied his piece each morning so as
to make sure of having a dry priming,
"In another mile we shall be up with
the outposts," Bald he.
I glanced around at this and I per
ceive that we had trotted along at so
good .a pace during the time that we
were keeping up our pleasant chat that
the dragoon with the lame horse was
altogether out of sight. I looked on
every side, but In the whole of that
vast rocky valley there was no one save
only the Bart and I both of us armed,
you understand, and both of us well
mounted. I began to ask,, myself
whether after all it waB quite neces
sary that I should ride that mile which
would bring me to the British out
posts. ' ' ' . ' . ; . . '
Wow I wish to 'be dear with you'
on this point, my, friends, for I would
not have you think that I was acting
dishonorably or ungrateful to the
man who had helped me away from the
brigands. You must remember that of
all duties the strongest is that which a
commanding officer owes to his men.
You must also bear In mind that war is
a game which is played under Axed
rules, and when these rules are broken
one must at once claim the forfeit. If,
for example, I had given a parole, then
I should have been an Infamous wretch
had I dreamed of escaping. But no
parole had been asked of me. Out of
overconfldence and the chance of the
lame herse dropping behind, the Bart
had permitted me to get upon equal
terms with him. Had It been I who
had taken him I should have used him
as courteously as he had me, but at the
same time I should have respected his
enterprise so far as to have deprived
him of his sword, and seen that I had
at least one guard besides myself. I
reined up my horse and explained this
to him, asking him at the same whether
he saw any breach of honor In my leav
ing him. f
Ha thought about It, and' several
times repeated that which the English
say when they mean "Mon Dleu." "You
would give me the slip, would you?"
said he.
"If you can give no reason against
It."
"The only reason that I can think
,of," said the Bart, "It that I should in
stantly cut your head on if you should
attempt It."
"Two can play at that game, my dear
Bart." said I.
"Thjen we'll see who can play It
best," he cried, pulling out his sword.
I had drawn mine also, but I was
quite determined not to hurt this ad
mirable young man who had been my
benefactor.
"Consider!" said I. "You say that I
am your prisoner. I might with equal
reason say that you are mine. We are
alone here, and though I have no doubt
that you are an excellent swordsman,
you would hardly hope to hold your

own agalnft the best blade In the six
light cavalry brigades.".
His answer was a cut at my head. I
parried and shore off half of his white
plume. He thrust at my breast. I
turned his point and cut away the other
half of his cockade. ...'
"Curse your monkey tricks!" he cried
as I wheeled my horse away from him.
"Why should you strike at me," said
I. "You see that I will not strike
back."
"That's all very well," said he. "But
you've got to come with me to the
camp." '
"I shall never see the camp," said I.
"I'll lay you nine to four you do," he
cried, as he made at me, sword In hand.
But those words of his Jut something
new Into my head. Could we not de
cide the matter In some better way than
by lighting? The Bart was placing me
In such a position that I should have to
hurt him, or he would certainly hurt
me. I avoided his rush, though his

vord point was within an Inch of my
'K.
t have a, proposal," I :crled. "We
throw dice as to which Is the pris
oner of the other." "
He smiled at this. Jt appealed to his
love of sport.' '
"Where are your dice?" he cried.
."i nave none.
"Nor I, but I have cards."
"Cards let it be," said I.
"And the game?"
"I leave It to you."
"Ecarte, then the best of three.".
I could not help smiling as I agreed
for I do not suppose that there were
three men In France who were my mas
ters at the game. I told the Bart as
much as we dismounted. He smiled
also as he listened. .
"I was counted the best player at
Watler's," said he. "With even luck
you deserve to get off If you beat me."
So we tethered our two horses and
sat. down, one on either side of the
great flat rock. The Bart took a pack
of cards out of his tunic and I had only
to see him shuttle them to convince me
that I had no novice to deal with. We
cut and the deal fell to him.
My faith. It was a stake worth play
ing for. He wished to add a hundred
gold pieces a game, but what was
money when the fate of Colonel Etlenne
Gerard hung upon the cards?' I felt as
though all those who had reason to be
Interested In the game, my mother, my
hussars, the Sixth corps d'armee, Ney,
Messena, even the emperor himself,
were forming a ring around us In that
desolate valley. Heavens, what a blow
to one and all of them should the cards
go against me. But I was confident,
for my ecarte play was as famous as
my swordsmanship, and, save old
Bouvet, of the hussars, who won seventy-six
out of 150 games oft me, I have
always had the best of a series. .

TO OUR PATRONS :
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tuko
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brunds.
