"At Assump tion —that is our great feast, Julia— ' the Feast of Mary—it comes in Au gust—at Assumption, Monsieur de la Maine came to talk with my grand mother. He was forty years old. and bald —Bob and I made fun of his few hairs, like the children in the Holy Bible." Julia put out her hand and took the hand of Madame de la Maine gently. She was getting so far from a lore affair. "I married Monsieur de la Maine in six weeks." said Therese. "Oh." breathed Miss Bedmond, "hor rible!" Madame de la Maine pressed Julia's hand. "When it was decided between my grandmother and the comte, I escaped at night, after they thought I had gone to bed. and I went down to the lower terrace whfcre the weeds grew in plenty, and told Robert. Somehow, I did not expect him to make fun. al though we always joked about every thing until this night. It was after nine o'clock." The comtesse swept one hand to ward the desert. "A moon like this— only not like this—ma chere. There was never but that moon to me for many years. "I thought at first that Bob would kill me—he grew so white and terrible. He seemed suddenly to have aged ten years 1 will never forget his cry as It rane out in the nieht 'You will marrv mat old man when we love eacn oili er?' I had never known it until then. "We were only children, but he grew suddenly old. I knew it then," said Madame de la Maine intensely, "1 knew it then." She waited fbr a long time. Over the face of the desert there seemed to be nothing but one veil of light. The silence grew so intense, so deep; the Arabs had stopped singing, but the heart fairly echoed, and Julia grew meditative—before her eyes the cara van she waited for seemed to come out of the moonlit mist, rocking, rocking— the camels and the huddled figures of the riders, their shadows cast upon the sand. And now Tremont would be forever changed in her mind. A man who had suffered from his youth, a warm-heart ed boy. defrauded of his early love. It seemed to her that he was a charming figure to lead Sabron. "Therese," she murmured, "won't you tell me?" "They thought I had gone to bed," said the Comtesse de la Maine, "and I went back to my room by a little stair case, seldom used, and I found myself alone, and I knew what life was and what it meant to be poor." "But," interrupted Julia, horrified, ' girls are not sold in the twentieth century." "They are sometimes in France, my dear. Robert was only seventeen. His father laughed at him, threatened to send him to South America. We were victims." "It was the harvest moon," con tinued Madame de la Maine gently, "and it shone on us every night until my wedding day. Then the duke kept his threat and sent Robert out of France. He continued his studies in England and went into the army of Africa." There was a silence again. "I did not see him until last year," said Madame de la Maine, "after my husband died." CHAPTER XXIV. The Meeting. TJnder the sun, under the starry nights Tremont, with his burden, jour neyed toward the north. The halts were distasteful to him, and although he was forced to rest he would rather have been cursed with sleeplessness and have journeyed on and on. He rode his camel like a Bedouin; he grew brown like the Bedouins and under the hot breezes, swaying on his desert ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and melancholy reveries, like the wander ing men of the Sahara, and felt him self part of the desolation, as they were! "What will be, will be!" Hammet Abou said to him a hundred times, and Tremont wondered: "Will Charles live to see Algiers?" Sabron journeyed in a litter carried between six mules, and they traveled slowly, slowly. Tremont rode by the sick man's side day after day. Not once did the soldier for any length of time regain his reason. He would pass from coma to delirium, and many times Tremont thought he had ceased to breathe. Slender, emaciated under his covers, Sabron lay like the image of a soldier in wax—a wounded man carried as a votive offering to the altars of desert warfare. At night as he lay in his bed In his tent, Tremont and Hammet Abou cooled his temples with water from the earthen bottles, where the sweet ooze stood out humid and refreshing on the damp clay. They gave him acid and cooling drinks, and now and then Sabron would smile on Tremont, call ing him "petit frere," and Tremont heard the words with moisture in his eyes, remembering what he had said to the Marquise d'Escllgnac about be ing Sabron's brother. Once or twice the soldier murmured a woman's name, but Tremont could not catch it, and once he said to the duke: "Sing! Sing!" The Frenchman obeyed docilely. | oumitiing in an agreeaoie oaryione me i j snatches of song he could remember, j "La Fille de Madame Angot," "11 Tro vatore;" running them into more mod -1 ern opera, "La Veuve Joyeuse." But the lines creased in Sabron's forehead indicated that the singer had not yet , found the music which haunted the memory of the sick man. "Sing!" he would repeat, fixing his hollow eyes on his companion, and Tremont complied faithfully. Finally, his own thoughts going back to early days, he hummed tunes that he and a 1 certain little girl had sung at their games in the alleea of an old chateau i in the valley of the Indre. "Sonnez les matines Ding—din—don," and other children's melodies, i In those nights, on that desolate way, alone, in a traveling tent, at the 1 side of a man he scarcely knew, Rob- I ert de Tremont learned serious les i: sons. He had been a soldier himself, but his life had been an inconsequent i one. He had lived as he liked, behind [ him always the bitterness of an early deception. But he had*been too young .: to break his heart at seventeen. He • had lived through much since the day I his father exiled him to Africa. Therese had become a dream, a memory around which he did not al i 1 ways let his thoughts linger. When ', he had seen her again after her hus band's death and found her free, he I was already absorbed in the worldly , j life of an ambitious young man. He i had not known how much he loved her : | until in the Villa des Bougainvilleas ' he had seen and contrasted her with " | Julia Redmond. All the charm for him of the past JI returned, and he realized that, as money goes, he was poor—she was ' i poorer. The difficulties of the marriage maae • him all the more secure In his deter > mination thai nothing should separate > him again from this woman. 1 j By Sabron's bed he hummed his ' little insignificant tunes, and his heart longed for the woman. When once or ■ | twice on the return journey they had been threatened by the engulfing sand ; storm he had prayed not to die before '! he could again clasp her in his arms. ' Sweet, tantalizing, exquisite with the passion of young love, there came to him the memories of the moonlight ' nights on the terrace of the old cha teau. He saw her in the pretty girl - lsh dresses of long ago. the melan ■ choly droop of her quivering mouth, her bare young arms, and smelled the ■ fragrance of her hair as he kissed her. So humming his soothing melo dies to the sick man, with his voice 1 softened by his memories, he soothed ;; Sabron. Sabron closed his eyes, the creases In his forehead disappeared as though I brushed away by a tender hand. Per ' haps the sleep was due to the fact 1 that, unconsciously, Tremont slipped into humming a tune which Miss Red mond had sung in the Villa des Bou -1 gainvilleas, and of whose English ' words De Tremont was quite ignorant. 1 "Will he last until Algiers, Hammet Abou ?" "What will be will be, monsieur!" | Abou replied. "He must," De Tremont answered , fiercely. "He shall." He became serious and meditative , on those silent days, and his blue eyes, where the very whites were burned, began to wear the far-away, i mysterious look of the traveler across long distances. During the last sand t storm he stood, with the camels, round Sabron's litter, a human shade and shield, and when the storm ceased he '»' l like one dead, and the Arabs DRESS WARM AND KEEP FEET DRY j : Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid i Rheumatism is no respecter of age, ' sex, color or rank. If not the most I dangerous of human afflictions it is I one of the most painful. Those subject ; to rheumatism should eat less meat, i dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink ' lots of pure water. j Rheumatism is caused by uric acid | which generated in the bowels and i absorbW into .the blood. It is the func ' tion of the kidneys to filter this acid I from the blood and east it out in the I urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this , impurity. In damp and chilly, cold | weather the skin pores ore dosed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a [ glass of water and drink before break i fast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu lating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impur ities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grai*es and lemon juice, combined with lithia ami is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent litkia-water drink which overcomes uric acid an4 pint of hot water anil 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take a tablcspoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the most miserable headache, dullness, sneezing, sore throat, running of the nose, catarrhal discharges, head noises and other loathsome symptoms that al ways accompany this disgusting disease. Loss of smell, defective hearing and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrh and which may be overcome by the use of this simple treatment. Every person who has ca tarrh should give this prescription a | trial. There is nothing better.—Adv. ; HOTEL IROQUOIS ! South Carolina Avenue & Beach ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.
