Musical three of which, packed in her knap- sack, she had carried off from the luncheon table of a Russian prince who was touring through Algiers and who had half lost his grand ducal head after the bewitching, dauntless, capricious, unattachable, unpurchasable and co- quettish little fire eater of the spahis, who treated him with infinitely more insolence and indifierence than she would show to some battered old veter- an or some wornout old dog who had passed through the great Kabaila raids and battles. “‘You will go to your colonel’s to- night?” she Said questioningly as he drank the champagne and thanked hen for he saw the spirit in Which the gift was tendered. He shrugged his shou1- ders. He did not care to discuss his colonel’s orders with this pretty little Bacchante. “Oh, a chief’s command, you know”â€" “A fig for a chief l” retorted Ciga- rette impatiently. “Why don’t you say the truth? You are thinking you will disobey and risk the rest!” “Well, why not? I grant his right in barrack and field. but”â€" “But?” echoed Cigarette. leaning out of her oval hole. perched in the quaint, gray, Moresco wall. particolored with broken encaustlcs of varied hue. “That little word has been the undoing or the world ever since the world began. “at! mama: «manna 1mm “Never mind,” she said softly and waywardly, winding her way aright with that penetration and tact which, however unsexed in other things, Ciga- rette had kept thoroughly feminine. “That was but an idle word of mine. Forgive it and forget it. You are not a slave when you fight. They say to see you kill a man is beautifulâ€"so workâ€" manlike! And you would go out and be shot tomorrow rather than sell your honor or stain it, eh? Take a glass of champagne? Prat-tut, how you look! Oh, the bottles with the silver necks are not barrack drink, of course, but I drink champagne always myself. This is the prince’s. He knows I only take the best brands.” He spoke jestingly, but there was a tinge of sadness in the words that touched Cigarette’s changeful temper to contrition. She knew she had been ungenerous, a crime dark as night in the sight of the little chivalrous sol- dier. “Whew!” cried the little lady, blow- ing a puff of smoke down on him. “None of your pity for me! Buffeted about? Do you suppose anybody ever did anything with me that I didn’t choose? It you had as much power as I have in the army, Cbateauroy would not send for you to sell your toys like a peddler. You are a. slave! 1 am a sovereign!” With which Cigarette, leaning down from her casement, whose sill was about a foot above his head, tendered her peace offering in a bottle of Cliquot, He listened, amused with her boast- ful supremacy, but the last words touched him with a certain pang just in that moment. “Well, yes,” he said slowly, “I am a slave, 1 fear. I Wish a Bedouin flissa would cut my thralls in two.” “Fine manners!” echoed Cecil, with a smile. “My poor child. have you been so buffeted about that you have never been treated with common courtesy?” She was incensed and piqued and provoked. She had been ready to for- give him because he carved so won- derfully and sold the carvings for his comrade at the hospital. She was holding out the olive branch after her own petulant fashion. and she thought if he had had any grace in him he would have responded with some such florid compliment as those for which she was accustomed to box the ears of her admirers. and would have swung himself up to the coping to touch. or at least try to touch. those sweet. fresh. crimson lips of hers that were like a half opened damask rose. “Good day. pretty one.” he answer- ed with a little weariness. lifting his fez to her with a certgln sense or an- noyance that this young Bohemian of the barracks. this child with her slang and her satire. should always be in his way like a shadow. “Good day. my brave one!” returned Cigarette contemptuously. “We are not so ceremouious as all that in Al- giers! Good fellow. you should be a Chamberlain. not a corporal. What tine manners!” “Ah! We are soldiers, not traders, aren’t we? You don’t like that, M. Victor? You are no peddler. eh? And you think you would rather risk being court martialed and shot than take your ivory toys for the Black Hawk's talons?” Cecil glanced up in astonishment at the divination and translation of his thoughts to encounter the bright fal- con eyes of Cigarette looking down on him from a little oval casement above. The swift. sharp voice of a young oficer of his regiment wakened Cecil from his musing as he went on his way down the crowded. tortuous. stio fling street. He had scarcely time to catch the sense of the words and to halt. giving the salute. before the chas- seur’s skittish little Barbary mare had galloped past him. Cecil involuntarily stood still. His face darkened.

I have seen soldiers mutiny. a squadron of them, because they hated their chief and loved two of their noncommis- sioned officers, and I have seen the end of it allâ€"a few hundred men, blind and drunk with despair, at bay against as many thousands, and walled in with four lines of steel and artillery and fired on from a score of cannon mouthsâ€"volley on volley, like the thun- derâ€"till not one living man was left, and there was only a shapeless, heav- ing, moaning mass, with the black smoke over all. That is what I have seen. You will not make me see it again? They would rise at your bid- ding and they would be mowed down like corn. You will not?” “Never! I give you my word.” The promise was from his heart. He would have endured any indignity, any outrage, rather than have drawn into ruin, through him, the fiery, fearless, untutored lives of the men who marched, and slept, and rode, and fought, and lay in the light of the picket fires, and swept down through the hot sandstorms on to the desert foe by his side. Cigarette stretched out her hand to him-stretched it out with a frank, winning, childlike, sol- dierlike grace. “That’s right! You are a true 801-- Soiled Spoonér (calmly)â€"B’cuz dc places won’t wander to me, mum.â€" He bent over the hand she held out to his in the courtesy natural with him to all her sex and touched it lightly withhis 11128- - The Reason.

Men sell their honor for their daily bread all the world over!” said Cigarene, with the satire that had tre- ble raciness from the slang in which she clothed it. “But it is not you alone.

Now. What will that end in, eh?” “Now,” she whispered very low. “if you mutiny once they will shoot you just like Marquise, and you will die just as silent. like him.” “Well." he answered her slowly, “why not? Death is no great terror. I risk it every day for the sake of a common soldier’s rations. Why should I not chance it for the sake and in the de- fense of my honor?” Cigarette’s radiant laugh had died, and her careless voice had sunk over the latter words. Then, grave still, she leaned her brown, bright face near- er down from her oval hole in the wan. “The marquis was what you are, a hawk among carrion crows, a gentle- man in the ranks. How handsome he was! Nobody ever knew his real name. but they thought he was of Austrian breed. and we called him Marquise be- cause he was so womanish white in his skin and so dainty in all his ways. Just like you! Marquise could fightâ€" iight like a hundred devilsâ€"andâ€"poufâ€" how proud he was! Very much like you ,altogether! Now, one day some- thing went wrong in the exercise ground. Marquise was not to blame. but they thought he was. and an adju- tant struck himâ€"flick, flack, like thatâ€" across the face with a riding switch. Marquise had his bayonet fixed. and before he knew what was up. crash the blade went through the breastbone and out at the spine. and the adjutant fell as dead as a cat, with the blood spouting out like a fountain. ‘1 come of a great race that never took insult without giving back death.’ was all that Marquise said when they sei'zed him and brought him to judgment, and he would never say of what race. that was. They shot him«-â€"ah. ah. discipline must be keptâ€"and 1 saw him. with tire great wounds in his chest and his beau- tiful golden hair all soiled with the sand and the powder. lying there by the open grave that they threw him into as if he were offal, and we never knew more of him than that.” “Forgive me, my pretty one! I thought you called yourself our com- rade and would have no ‘fine manners.’ There is no knowing how to please you.” “Parbleu!” swore the vivandiere in her wrath. “You look on ata bamboula as it it were only a bear cub dancing and can only give one ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ as if one were a drummer boy. Bah! Are those your Paris courtesies '3” “Whoever doubted it. except you? I can put two and two together and read men. though I don’t read the alphabet. So you mean to disobey the J.'IIX\V1‘; to- night? I like you for that. But listen herHid you ever hear them talk of Marquise?” He laughed a little as he looked up at her. “Not exactly that. but something as foolish. perhaps. Are you a witch. my pretty one?” He was silent again. He would not answer falsely and he did not care to say his thoughts to her. “No.” pursued Cigarette. translat- lng his silence at her fancy. “you say to yourself. ‘I am an aristocratâ€"l will not be ordered in this thingâ€"you say. ‘1 am a good soldier; I will not be sent for like a hawkerâ€"you say; ‘1 was noble once; I will show my blood at last. if I die!’ Ah. you say that!” Flinty: “Y es, she has a heart of flint.” “Then don’t forget that a persistent ” gl'ro BE CONTINUEDJ Making Soup.
