Pins, Pins —Trouble Begins
Pins art- much like the loose nail in
the horse's shoe, it' they are poor iu
quality or lacking altogether they
make you lose patience and often pre
cious time.
1-ast June when hostilities were first
declared among warring nations abroad
» fashionable woman was heard to de
plore the matter, for she said, "Now,
probably we shall be compelled to de
pend on American pins and how can
one dress properly with them." By
this time she has doubtless discovered
that "Made in America" pins are every
bit as finely pointed and as good in
construction as foreign ones*.
Our ancestors had a hard time to
secure good pins and the doggerel "See
a pin, piok it up, all the day you'll
liave good luck; see a pin and let it lay,
luck will stay away all day," shows how
they valued them. And in our coun
try's early days every good housewife
carried a neatly made flat pin cushion
at her girdle or let it dangle from her
lielt with her scissors, keys and other
every minute necessities. When her
sharp eyes spied a pin, presto, and it
■was in the little cushion ready for
need. At two shillings a case full, no
■wonder she treasured them! But we
make our own pins now from both

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question. —We are moving into a
new house with a large, light kitchen,
but nb cupboards, would you advise pur
i chasing a kitchen cabinet or a case
with shelves above and drawers be
i neat lit
Reply.—As your kitchen is large you
would have room for both, but if you
must choose one take the cabinet if it
is a modern one. You ean utilize the
wall space of the kitchen for shelves
I and have sliding glass doors made to
| (it. If you ever leave this house you
jean take these conveniences with you.
If you cannot have shelves covered keep
\ all supplies in glass jars with fitted
tops. A shelf near the stove for coffee
j boiler, teapot, coffee and tea canisters,
salt, [>epper and flour dredges is also
good.
Other conveniences that every kitchen
! should have are a thick, washable rug
to place where you stand most, a waste
! paper basket to hold debris and a large
I sized light tray, as well as a bookcase
to hold cookery books, a clock, a mem
' orandum pad and a roll of paper towel-

Question. —My husband has bought a
| side of bacon that is very strong and
salty and now, since it has been hang
i ing in the buttery, it has tiny globules
! of salt on the flesh side. Hoes this hurt
| it and is there any way to make it less
j salt tasting.—inexperienced.
Reply.—The bacon was evidently too
! long in the brine or improperly cured;
' the salt on it does no harm. After slic
! ing it put the cuts in a sieve and pour
| boiling water over them, or let them
stand in hot water a few minutes, then
I cook in the oven bv placing the sieve
I over a dripping pan to catcli the fat. If
j the oven is hot the rashers will be
i brown and crisp in a few minutes and
not too salt. You can cut the bacon fine
I and soak it and use it for flavoring
beans and for use iu beef loaf. Or you

We nave heard rumors of a little dog
who was seen running along the highway,
miles from Tarascon, but of course that
could not have been Pitchoune.
Sabron nodded. "It was, however,
mon brave," he said to the terrier.
Not but what I thlnl; his ltttle heart j
was brave enough and valiant enough to j
have followed you, but no dos could go
so far without a better scent.
Sabron said: "It Is one of the re- j
grets of my life that you cannot tell j
us about tt How did you get the
scent? How did you follow me?" !
Pitchoune did not stir, and Sabron's
eyes returned to the page.
I do noi think you will ever forglv'n 1
us. You left us a trust and we did not
guard it.
He put the letter down a moment,
brushed some of the flies away from
the candle and made the wick brighter, f
Mustapha came in, black as ebony, his
woolly head bare He stood as stiff
as a ramrod and as black. In his 1
childlike French he said:
"Monsieur le lieutenant asks if
Monsieur le Capitalne will come to
play a game of carte In the mess
tent?"
"No." said Sabron, without turning, j
"Not tonight." He went on with his
letter:
. a sacred trust."
Half aloud he murmured: "I left a
very sacred trust at the Chateau !
d'Esclignac, Mademoiselle; but as no
one knew anything about it there will I
be no question of guarding it, 1 dare
say."
. . . So 1 write you this letter to tell !
you about darling Pitchoune. I had grown
to love him though lie did not like me. I j
miss him terribly. . . My aunt asks ;
me to say that she hopes you had a fine
crossing and that you will send us a j
tiger skin: but I am sure there are no
tigers near Algiers. I say . . .
And Sabron did not know how long
Miss Redmond's pen had hesitated in
writing the closing lines:
I
. . . I say I hope you will be success- i
ful and that although nothing ran take
the place of Pitchoune. you will find some- j
one to make the desert less solitary.
Sincerely yours,
JV LI A REDMOND.
When Sabron had read the letter
several times he kissed it fervently
and put it in his pocket next his
heart.
"That," he said to Pitchoune. mak
ing the dog an unusual confidence,
"that will keep me less lonely. At the
same time it makes me more so. This
is a paradox, mon vieux, which you
cannot understand."
CHAPTER XII.
The News From Africa.
It took the better part of three eve- ,
nings to answer her letter, and the
writing of it gave Sabron a vast
amount of pleasure and some tender
sorrow. It made hiui feel at once so i
near to this lovely woman and at once
so far away. In truth there is a great
difference between a spahi on an Af
rican desert, and a young American
heiress dreaming in her chintz-covered
bedroom in a chateau in the Midi of
France.
Notwithstanding, the young Ameri
can heiress felt herself as much alone
in her chintz-covered bedroom and as
desolate, perhaps more so, than did
Sabron in his tent. Julia Redmond
felt, too that she was surrounded by
people hostile to her friend.
Sabron's letter told her of Pitchoune
and was written as enly the hand of a
charming ond imaginative Frenchman
can write a letter. Also, his pent-up
heart and his reserve made what he
did say stronger than if perhaps he
could have expressed it quite frankly.
Julia Redmond turned the sheets
that told of Pitchoune's following his
master, and colored with joy and pleas
ure ps she read. She wi;ied away twe

tears at tne end, wnere baDron saia:
Think of It. Mademoiselle, a little dog
following his master from peace and
plenty, from quiet and security. Into the
desert! And think what It means to have
this little friend!
Julia Redmond reflected, was great
ly touched and loved Pitchoune more
than ever. She would have changed
piaces with him gladly. It was an
honor, a distinction to share a sol
dier's exile and to be his companion
Then Sabron wrote, in closing words
which she read and reread many,
many times.
Mademoiselle In this life many things
follow us: certain of these follow us
whether we will or not. Rome things we
are strong enough to forbid, yet we do
not forbid them! My little dog followed
me; I had nothing to do with that. It
was a question of fate. Something else
has followed me as well. It is not a liv
ing thing, and yet It has all the qualities
of vitality. It Is a tune. From the mo
ment I left the chateau the first night 1
had the Joy of seeing you. Mademotselle,
the tunc you sang became a companion
to mc and has followed me everywhere
. . . followed me to my barracks, fol
lowed mc across the sea, and here lp my
tent it keeps me company. I find that
when I wake at night the melody sings
to me: T find that when I mount my liors?
and ride with my men, when the desert's
sands are shifted by my horse's feet,
something sings In the sun and In the
heat, something sings in the chase and In
the pursuit, and in the nights, under the
stars, the same air haunts me still.
I am glad you told me what the words
mean, for I find them beautiful: the mu
sic in it would not be the same without
the strength and form of the words. Sc
It Is, Mademoiselle, with life. Feelings
and sentiments, passions and emotions,
are like music. They are great and beau
tiful: they follow us, they are part of us,
but they would be nothing—musle would
be nothing without forms by which wo
could make it audible—appealing not to
our sensor alone but to our souls!
And yet I mu3t close my letter sending
you only the tune: the words I cannot
send you, yet believe me, they form par *
of everything I do or say.
Tomorrow I understand from my men.
wo shall nave some lively work to do.
Whatever that work is vou will hear of
It through the papers. There is a little
town near here called Dirbal, inhabited
by a poor tribe whose lives have been
made minerable by robbers and slave
dealers. It is the business of us watchers
of the plr.ins to protect them, and I be
lieve we shall have a lively skirmish with
the marauder?. There is a congregation
of tribes coming down from the north.
When I go out with my people tomorrow
it may be into danger, for in a wandering
life like this, who ea*i tell? I do not mean
to be either morbid or sentimental. I only
mean to be serious. Mademoiselle, and I
find that I am becoming so serious that
it will be best to close.
Adieu, Mitilanioilgt'lle. When you look
from your window on the Rhone Valley
and see the peaceful fields of Tarascon,
when you look on your peaceful gardens,
perhaps your mind v.ill travel farther
and you will think of Africa. Do so if
you can. and perhaps tonight you will
say tlio v/crds only of the song before you
50 to sleep.
I am, Mademoiselle,
Fuilhiu.ly yours,
CHARLES DE SABRON.
There was only one place for a let
ter such as that to rest, and it rested
on that gentle pillow for many days.
It proved a heavy weight against Julia
Redmond's heart. She could, indeed,
speak the words of the song, and did,
and they rose as a nightly prayer for
a soldier on the plains; but she could
not keep her mind and thoughts at
rest. She was troubled and unhappy;
she grew pale and thin; she pined
more than Pitchoune had pined, and
There Was Only On* Place for Such a
Letter to Rest.
the, alas! could not break her chains
and run away.
The Due da Tremont was a con
stant guest at the house, but he found
the American heiress a very capricious
and uncertain lady, and Madame d'Es
cllgnac was severe with her niece.
"My dear Julia," she said to the
beautiful girl, looking at her through
her lorgnon; "I don't understand you.
Every one of your family has married
a title. We have not thought that we
could do better with our money i .r
build up fortunes already started;
than in preserving noble races and
noble names. There has never been
a divorce in our family. I am a mar
quise, your cousin is a countess, your
aunt Is one of the peeresses of Eng
land, and as for you, my dear , .
Miss Redmond was standing by the
piano. She had lifted the cover and
was about to sit down to pla.v. She

"There are titles and titles, ma
tante: the only question is what kind
do you value the most?"
"The highest!" said her aunt with
out hesitation, "and the Due de Tre
mont is undoubtedly one of the most
famous partis in Europe."
"He will then find no difficulty in
marrying," said the young girl, "and
I do not wish to marry a man I do not
love."
She sat down at the piano and her
hands touched the keys. Her aunt;
who was doing some dainty tapestry,
whose fingers were creating silken
flowers and whose mind was busy with
fancies and ambitions very like the
work she created, shrugged her shoul
ders.
"That seems to be," she said keenly,
"the only tune you know, Julia."
"It's a pretty song, ma tante."
"I remember that you played and
sang it the first night Sabron came to
dinner." The girl continued to finger
among the chords. "And since then
never a day passes that sometime or
other you do not play it through."
"It has become a sort of oraison,
ma tante."
"Sabron," said the marquise, "is a
fine young man, my child, but he has
nothing but his officer's pay. More
over, a soldier's life is a precarious
one."
Julia Redmond played the song soft
ly through.
The old butler came in with the eve
ning mail and the papers. The Mar
quise d'Esclignac, with her embroid
ery scissors, opened Le Temps from
Paris and began to read with her usual
Interest. She approached the little
lamp on the table near her, unfolded
the paper and looked over at her
niece, and after a few moments, said
with a slightly softened voice:
"Julia!" Mi6s Redmond stopped
playing. "Julia!" The girl rose frojn
the piano stool and stood with her
hand on the instrument
"My dear Julia!" Madame d'Escli
gnac spread Le Tempi? out and put ner
hand on it. "As I said to you, my
child, the life of a soldier is a pre
carious one.' 1
"Ma tante," breathed Miss Redmond
from where she stood. "Tell me what
the news is from Africa. I think I
know what you mean."
She could not trust herself to walk
across the floor, for Julia Redmond in
that moment of suspense found the
room swimming.
"There has been an engagement,"
said the marquise gently, for in spite
of her ambitions she loved her niece.
"There has been an engagement, Julia,
at Dirbal." She lifted the newspaper
and held it before her face and read:
There has been some hard fighting In
the desert, around about Dirbal. The
troops commanded by Captain de Sabron
were routed by the natives at noon on
Thursday. They did not rally and were
forced to retreat. There was a great
loss of life among the natives and sey>
eral of the regiment were also killed.
There has been no late or authenic news
from Dirbal. but the last dispatches give
the department of war to understand that
Sabron himself is among the missing.
The Marquise d'Esclignac slowly put
down the paper, and rose quickly. She
went to the young girl's side and put
her arm around her. Miss Redmond
covered her face with her hands:
"Ma tante, ina tante!" she mur
mured.
"My dear Julia," said the old lady,
"there is nothing morfe uncertain than
newspaper reports, especially those
that come from the African seat of
war. Sit down here, my child."
The two women sat together on the
lone piano stool. The marauise said:
