Ah. ah. I know the aristo- cratsâ€"I do! Their touch is so gentle, and their speech is so soft. and they have no slang of the camp, and yet they are such devils to fight and eat steel and die laughing, all so quiet and Cigarette, flirting with the other of- ficers, drinking champagne by great glasst‘nls, eating honhons from one, sipping another's soup, pulling the limbs of a succulent ortolan to pieces with a relish and devouring truflies with all the zest of a hon vivant, did not lose a word and. catching the re- flection of Chateauroy’s voice, settled with her own thoughts that Bel-a- faire-peur had not a fair field or a smooth course with his colonel. The weathercock heart of the little Friend of the Flag veered round, with her sex’s common custom, to the side that was the weakest. “I should like to sec him in a duct.” nonchalant. Give me the aristocratsâ€" the real thing, you know, not the ginger cakes, just gilt, that are ashamed of be- ing honest bread, but the old blood, like Bel-a-faire-pour.” The colonel laughed, but restlessly; the little ingrate had aimed at a sore point in him. He was of the first empire nobility, and he was weak enough, though a fierce, dauntless, iron nerved soldier, to be discontented with the great fact that his father had been a hero of the army of Italy and scarce inferior in genius to Mas- sena, because impatient of the minor one that, before strapping on a knap- sack to have his first taste of war under Custine, the marshal had been but a postilion at the posting inn in the heart of the Nivernais. “Ah, my brunette,” he answered. with a. rough laugh, “have you taken my popular corporal for your lover? You should give your old friends warning first, or he may chance to get an ugly spit on a saber.” The Friend of the Flag tossed on! her sixth glass of champagne. She felt for the first time in her life a flush of hot blood on her brown, clear cheek, well used as she was to such jests and such lovers as these. “He would be more likely to spit than be spitted if it came to a duel,” she said coolly. “I should like to see him in a duel; there is not a prettier sight in the world when both men have science. As for fighting for me, I will thank nobody to have the impu- deuce to do it unless I order them out. Coqueline got shot for me, you remem- ber; he was a pretty fellow, Coque- line, and they killed him so clumsm' that they disfigured him terriblyâ€"it was quite a. pity. I geld then I .yonld want?” About me. You may, If you like. Mr. Black Hawk.” Which title she gave with a saucy laugh, hitting with a chocolate bon- hon the black African burned vis- age of the omnipotent chief she had the audacity to attack. High or low, they were all the same to Cigarette. She would have “slanged” the em- peror himself with the selfsame cool- ness, and the army had given her a passport of immunity so wide that it would have fared ill with any one who had ever attempted to bring the vivan- diere to book for her uttermost mis- chief. “Eh? He shall have an ounce of cold lead before he does. What in?” “Snore! What does he do?” The colonel‘s strong teeth bit savagely through his cigar. He would have giv- en much to have been able to finda single thing of insubordination or lax- ity of duty in a soldier who irritated and annoyed him. but who obeyed him implicitly and was one of the most brilliant flare eaters of his regiment. “By the way,” she went on. quicg as thought. with her reckless, devil may care gayety, “one thingâ€"your corporal will demoralize the army of Africa!” “He will demoralize it,” said Ciga- rette, with a sagacious shake of. her head. “If they follow his example. we shan’t have a chasseur or a spahis or a piou-piou or :1 sapeur worth any- thing”â€" “He won’t only demoralize,tlie ar- my.” pursued Cigarette. with vivacious eloquence, “but if his exmnple is fol- lowed he'll ruin the prefets, close the bureaus, destroy the exchequer, bog- gar all the oifieials, make African life as tame as milk and water and rob you colonel. of your very highest and demost pri\ ileges. "’ “Sucre bleui" cried her hearers as their hands instinctively sought their swords. “What does he- do?” . Cigarette looked at them out of her arch black lashes. ’ “Why", he never thieves from the Arabs! If the fashion'come in. adieu to our occupation. Court martial him. colonel!” With which sally Cigarette thrust her pretty. soft curls back over her tem- ples and launched herself into lausque- net with all the ardor ot‘ a gambler and the vivaeity of a child, her eyes flashing. her cheeks flushing, her little teeth set. her whole soul in the whirl of the game, made all the more riotous by the peals of laughter from her com- rades and the wines that were washed down like water. Meanwhile, where she had left him among the stones or the ruined mosque, the chasseur whom they nicknamed Bel-a-fziire-peur in a double sense be- cause of his “woman’s face,” as Tata Leroux termed it, and because of the terror his sword had become through north Africa. sat motionless. with his right arm resting on his knee and his spurred heel thrust into the sand. He was a dashing cavalry soldier. who had had a dozen wounds cut over his body by the I‘ledouins in many and hot skirmishes. who had waited through sultry African nights for the lion's tread and had fought the desert king and conquered. who had ridden a thou- sand miles over the great sand waste and the boundless arid plains and slept mder the stars. with the saddle he- neath his head and his rifle in his hand. all through the night; who had served. and served well. in lieree. arduous. un- xexiiittiii;' work in trying campaigns and in close discipline and who had blended the brilliance, the daring. the eat drink-and-enjov- t'or- tomorrow- we- die of the F t‘et ieh (hassenr with some- thing that was \er) diltet exit and much more tranquil.

She had danced the cancan; she had danced since sunset; she had danced till she had tired out cavalrymen who could go days and nights in the saddle without a sense of fatigue and made spahis cry quarter who never gave it by any chance in the battlefield, and she was dancing now like a little Bac- chante, as fresh as if she had just sprung up from a long summer day’s rest. ' Marshals had more than once essay- ed to bribe the famous little Friend of the Flag to dance for them and had failed, but for a set of soldiers. war worn. dust covered. weary with toil and stiff with wounds. she would do it till they forgot their ills and got as in- toxicated with it as with champagne. And she was dancing for them now. All her heart was in itâ€"that heart of a girl and a soldier, of a hawk and a kit- ten, of a Bohemian and an epicure. of a lasear and a child. which heat. so brightly and so boldly under the dainty gold aglets with which she laced her dashing little. uniform. So she danced now in the cabaret: of the As du Pique. She had a famous group of spectators, not one of whom knew how to hold himself back from springing in to seize her in his arms and whirl with her down the floor. But it had been often told them by experi- ence that unless she beckoned one out a blow of her clinched hand and a ces- sation of her impromptu dance would be the immediate result. Her specta- tors were renowned fire eaters, men whose names rang like trumpets in the ear of Kabyle and mara‘oout, men who had fought under the noble colors of the day of Mazagrau or had cherished or emulated its traditions, men who had the salient features of all the va- ried species that make up the soldiers of Africa. And every now and then her bright eyes would flash over the ring of fa- miliar faces and glance from them with an impatient disappointment as she danced. ‘Her big babies were not enough for her. She wanted a chas- seur with white hands and a grave smile to be among them. and she shook back her curls and flushed angrily as she noted his absence and went on with the pirouettes. the circling flights, the wild. resistless ahamltminent of her inspirations. till she was like a des- ert hawk that is intoxicated with the scent of prey borne down upon the wind and wheeling like a mad thing in the transparent ether and the hot sun glow.

A whirlwind ot’ laughter, so loud that it drowned the music of the shrill vio- lins and thundering drums. echoed through the rooms and shook him from his reverie. Amid the shouts. the crash, the tu- mult, the gay. ringing voice of Cigarette rose distinct. She had' apparently paused in her dancing to exchange one of those passes of arms which were her specialty. “You call him a misanthrope. and you have been drinking at his expense, you rascal!" she cried disdainfully. “Ingrate!” pursued the scornful. tri- umphant voice of Cigarette. “You would pawn your mother’s grave- clothes! You would eat your children in a fricassee! You would sell your father’s bones for a draft of brandy!” - The grumbled assent of the accused was inaudible. The screams of mirth redoubled. Cigarette’s style of withering eloquence was suited to all her auditors’ tastes, Cigarette was danczng alone. and under the chorus of laughs at his cost her infuriated adversary plucked up courage and roared forth a defiance. _“Whltev hands and a brunette’s face are fine thingsfor a soldier.
