CHAPTER IX.

d'Am ague had made a gift of singular
munificence aud mercy to the invalid
soldiers—a gift of wine, of fruit, of
flowers, that would brighten their long,
dreary hours for many weeks. Who
Mme. la Princesse might be she knew
uot; but the title was enough: she
■was a silver pheasant—bah! And with
a word here and a touch there, tender,
, soft and bright, since, however ironic
her mood, she never brought anything
except sunshine to those who lay in
such sore need of it. beholding the sun
in the heavens only through the nar
row chink of a hospital window. At
last she reached the bed she came
most specially to visit—a bod on which
was stretched the emaciated form of a
man once beautiful us a Greek dream
of a trod. The dews of a threat agony
stood on his forehead; his teeth were
tight clinched on lips white and
parched. She bent over h!m softly.
“Good day, M. Leon. I have brought
you some ice.”
His weary eyes turned on her grate
fully. He sought to speak, but the ef
fort brought the spasm on his lungs
afresh. It shook him with horrible
violence from head to foot, and the
foam on his auburn beard was red
with blood.
There was no one by to watch him.
He was sure to die; a week sooner or
later—what mattered It? He was use
less as a soldier—good only to be
thrown into a pit, with some quicklime
to hasten destruction and do the work
of the slower earthworms.
Cigarette said uot a word, but she
took out of some vine leaves a cold,
hard lump of ice aud held It to him.
The delicious coolness and freshness
In that parching noontide heat stilled
the convulsion. His eyes thanked her.

panting, exhausted, hut relieved, and

down on the floor and began singing
low and sweetly as a fairy might sing
on the raft of a water lily leaf.
“Ah, that Is sweet,” murmured the
dying man. “It is like the brooks
like the birds—like the winds in the
leaves."
He was but half conscious, but the
lulllug of that gliding voice brought
him peace. And Cigarette sang on,
only moving to reach him some fresh
touch of ice, while time traveled on
And the first afternoon shadows crept
aeross the bare floor. It was a fete
day in Algiers. Tbgye were flags and
banners fluttering froiff thp houses;
there were Arab races and Arab .ma
neuvers; there was a review of troops
for some "foreign general; there were
all the mirth and the mischief thaf she
loved andtLat never went on without
her. But still she never moved, though
all her vivacious life was longing .to

She knew that In the general, gala
these sickbeds would be left more de
serted and less soothed than ever. She
knew, too, that it was for the sake of
this man, lying flying here from the
lunge of a Bedouin lance through his
lungs, that the ivory wreaths and
crosses and statuettes had been sold.
And Cigarette had done more than
this ere now many a time for her “chil
dren.”
The day stole on. Leon Ramon lay
very quiet. The Ice for his chest and
the song for his ear gave him that semi

Began ringing low and sweetly.
oblivion, dreamy and comparatively
painless, which was the only mercy
which could come to him.
A stop sounded on the bare boards.
She looked up, and the wounded man
taised his weary lids with a gleam of
’ladness under them. Cecil bent above
iis couch.
j “Dear Leon, how is it with you?”
His voice was softened to infinite ten
derness. Leon Ramon had been for
many a year his comrade and his
friend, an artist of Paris, a man of
marvelous genius, _pf high ideallc
i creeds, who in a fatal moment of rash
despair had flung his talents, his bro
ker) fortunes, his pure and noble spirit
into the fiery furnace of the hell of mil
itary Africa and now iay dying here, a
common soldier, forgotten as though he
were already in his grave.
“The review is just over. 1 got ten
minutes to spare and came to you the
instant i could.” pursued Cecil. “See
here what i firing you! You, with your
artist's soul, will feel yourself all hut
well when you look on these!”
He placed on his bed some peaches
bedded deep in moss and circled round
with stephanotis, with magnolia, with
roses, with other rarer flowers still.
The face of the artist soldier lightened
with a louging joy. His lips quivered.
“Ah. God! They have the fragrance
of my France!”
Cecil said nothing, but moved them
nearer into the clasp of his eager
hands. Cigarette be did not see.
“They are beautiful!” the dying man
said faintly at length. “They have
our youth iu them. How came you by
them, dear friend?”
“They are not due to me,” answered
Cecil hurriedly. “Princess Corona sends
them to you. She has sent great gifts
to the hospital—wines, fruits, a profu
sion of flowers such as those. Through
her these miserable chambers will
bloom for awhile like a garden, and
the best wines of Europe will slake
your thirst.”
“It is very kind,” murmured Leon
Ramon languidly. “But 1 am ungrate
ful. Cigarette here—she has been so
good, so tender, so pitiful. For once I
have almost uot missed you.”
Cigarette, thus alluded to, sprang to
her feet, with her head tossed back and
all her cynicism back again. A hot col
or was on her cheeks, the light had
passed from her face, she struck her
white teeth together. She had thought
Bel-a-faire-peur chained to bis regiment
In the field of maneuver, or she would
never have come thither to tend his
friend. She had felt happy In her self
sacrifice, she had grown Into a gentle,
pensive, merciful mood, siugiDg here
by the side of the dying soldier, and
now the first thing she heard was of
the charities of the princess!
That was all her reward. Cigarette
received tlie recompense that usually
corues to generous natures which have
strung themselves to some self surren
der that costs them dear.
Cecil looked at her surprised and
smiled.
“My pretty one, is It you? That is In
deed good. You were the good angel of
my life the other night and today come
to bring consolation to my friend” —
“ ‘Good angel!’ Cbut. M. Victor!
There is nothing of the angel about me,
1 hope. Your friend too! Pruttut! Do
you think 1 Lave never been used to
taking care of my comrades in hos
pitals before you played the sick nurse
here?”
fihe spoke with all her brusque petu
lance in arms again. She bated that
be should Imagine she had sacrificed
her fete day to Leon Ramon because
the artist -trooper was dear to him.
He smiled again; be did not under
stand the caprices of her changeful
moods, and he did not feel that Inter
est In her which would have made
him divine the threads of their va
garies.
“I did not think to offend you, my
little one," he said gently. “1 meant
*nly to thank you for your goodness
o Ramon in my absence.”
Cigarette shrugged her shoulders.
“There was no goodness, and there
•aed he no thanks. Ask Pere Matou
how often I have sat with him hours
through.”
“But on a fete day! And you'who
love pleasure and grace it so well”—
“Oufi I have had so much of It,”
said the little one contemptuously.
“It te so tame to me. Clouds of dust,
scurry of horses, fanfare of trumpets,
thunder of drums and all tor nothing!
Bah! I have been in a dozen battles—
I—and I am not likely to care., much
Cora sham fight.”
“Nay, she is unjust to herself,” mur
mured Leon Ramon. “She gave up the
fete to do this mercy—lt has been a
great one. She is more generous than
she will ever allow. Here, Cigarette,
look at these scarlet rosebuds; they are
like your bright cheeks. Will you
have them? I have nothing else to
give.”
“Rosebuds!” echoed Cigarette, with
supreme scorn. “Rosebuds for me? I
know no rose but the red of the tri
color. and 1 could not tell a weed from
a flower. Besides, I told Miou-Matou
Just now, if my children do as I tell
them, they will not take a leaf or a
peaehstoue from this grande dame
how does she caii herself? —Mine. Co
rona d’Amague!”
Cecil looked up quickly. “Why not?”
Cigarette flashed on him her brilliant
brown eyes with a fire that amazed
him.
“Because we are soldiers, not pau
pers. And it is not for the silver
pheasants, who have done nothing to
deserve their life but lain in nests of
cotton wool, and eaten grain that
others sow and shell for them, and
spread their shining plumage in a sun
that uever clouds above their heads,
to insult, with the insolence of their
pity’ and their ‘charity,’ the heroes of
France who perißh fts they have lived,
for their country and their flag!”
Cecil laughed slightly, but he an-
swered with a certain annoyance:
“There is no 'insolence’ here; no ques
tion of it. The princess desired to of
fer some gift to the soldiers of Algiers.
I suggested to her that to increase the
[ scant comforts of the hospital aud
gladden the weary eyes of sick men
with beauties that the executive never
dreams of bestowing would be the
most merciful and acceptable mode of
exercising her kindness. If blame there
he In the matter. It is mine.”
In defending the generosity of what
he knew to 1m? a genuine and sincere
wish to gratify his comrades lie be
trayed wlmt be did not intend to have
revealed—namely, tlie conversation that
had passed between himself and the
Spanish princess. Cigarette caught at
the inference with the quickness of her
lightninglike thought.
“Oh-lie! So it is she!”
There wns a whole world of empha
sis, scorn, meaning, wrath, comprehen
sion and irony In the four monosylla
bles. The dying man looked at her
with languid wonder.
“She? Who? What story goes with
these roses?”
“None,” said Ceeil, with the same in
flection of annoyance in his voice.
“None whatever. A generous thought
fulness for our common necessities as
soldiers”—
“Ouf!” interrupted Cigarette before
his phrase was one-third finished. “The
stalled mare will not go with the wild
coursers. An aristocrat may live with
us, but he will always cling to his old
order. This is the story that runs with
the roses. Miladi was languidly Inso
lent over some ivory chessmen, aud
Corporal Victor thought it divine be
cause languor and insolence are the
twin gods of the noble&se. Miladi,
knowing no gods but those two, wor
ships them and sends to the soldiers of
France, as the sort of sacrifice her gods
love, fruits and wines that day after
day are set on her table to be touched,
if tasted at all, with a butterfly’s sip,
and Corporal Victor finds this a char
ity sublime—to give what costs noth
ing and scatter a few crumbs out from
the profusion of a life of waste and in
dulgence! Aud I say that if my chil
dren are of my fashion of thinking
they will choke like dogs dying of
thirst rather than slake their throats
with aims cast to them as it*they .were
beggars!”
With which Cigarette lit her pipe and
hurried away. Her wrath was hot and
her heart her. She had
given up her whole fete day to wait on
the anguish and to soothe the solitude
of his friend lying dying there, and her
reward had been to hear him speak of
this aristocrat’s donations, that ct>st
her nothing but the trouble of a few
words of command to her household, as
though they were the saintly charities
of some angel from heaven. In that
moment she could have shot him dead
herself without a second's thought.
“You have vexed her, Victor,” said
Leon Ramon as she was lost to sight
through the doors of the great desolate
chamber.
“I hope not. Ido not know how,” an
swered Cecil. “It is impossible to fol
low the windings of her wayward ca
prices—a child, a soldier, a dancer, a
brigand, a spoiled beauty, a mischiev
ous gamin. How is one to treat snch
a little fagot of opposites?”
The other smiled.
“Ah, you do not know the little one
yet She Is worth a study. I painted
her years ago. There was not a pic
ture in the Salon that winter that was
sought like it. Her future? Weil, she
will die, I dare say, some bright day
or another at the head of a regiment,
with some desperate battle turned by
the valor of her charge and the sight
of the torn tricolor upheld (n her little
hands. That is what Cigarette hopes
for. Why not? There will always be
a million of commonplace women ready
to keep up the decorous traditions of
their sex and sit in safety over their
needles by the side of thetr hearths.
One little lioness here and there in a
generation cannot do overmuch harm.”
Cecil was silent. Cigarette was
charming now—a fairy story set into
living motion, a fantastic Uttle fire
work out of an extravaganza, with the
Impudence of & "boy harlequin and the
witching kittenhood o? a girl's beauty.
But when this youth that made it all
fair should have 'passed, when there
should be left in its stead only shame
lessness, hard Brood, vice, weariness,
those who found the prettiest jest in
her now would be the first to cast
aside with an oath the charred,
wrecked rocket stick of a life from
which no.golden, careless stream of
many colored fires of coquette capfices
would rise and enchant them then.
“Who is it that.sent these?” asked
Leon Ramon later on as his hands still
wandered among the flowers. For the
moment he was at peace; the- ice and
the hours of quietude had calmed him.
Cecil told him again.
“W'hat does Cigarette know of her?”
he pursued.
“Nothing, except, T believe, she knew
that Mine. Corona accepted my chess
carvings.”
“Ah, I thought the little one w’us Jeal
ous, Victor.”
“Jealous? Pshaw! Of whom?”
“Of any one you admire, especially
of this grande dame.”
“Absurd," said Cecil, with a sense of
annoyance. “Cigarette is far too bold
a little trooper to have any thoughts of
those follies, and as for this grande
dame, as you call her. I shall ia every
likelihood never see her again unless
when the word is given to ‘carry
swo. or ‘lances’ at the general’s sa
lute, where she reins her horse beside
M. le Marechal’s at a review, as I have
done this morning.”
The keen ear of the sick man caught
the inflection of an impatience, of a
mortification, in the tone that the
speaker himself was unconscious of.
"Cigarette is right,” said Ramon, with
a slight smile. “Your heart is with
your old order. Well, keep your hls

HEAVY FAILURE.
A $10,000,000 Syndicate Coes in
Receiver’s Hands.
Fort Worth, Texas, July 23. —
The Capital Free Land and Invest
ment company, better known as
the “Capital Syndicate company,”
whose property is valued at from
$8,000,000 and $10,000,000, has
passed into the hands of receivers.
The petition was filed in behalf of
Margaret Ann Babcock and Mau
rice B. Brown, of Chicago, repre
senting minority stockholders.
Judge Wallace today appointed
J. V. Goode of this city, late gen
eral superintendent of the Fort
Worth and Denver City R lilroad
company, and president of the Na
tional Lumber company, and W.
H. Fuqua, president of the First
National bank of Amarillo, receiv
er. The petition alleged among
other things that Messrs. J. V.
Farwell, C. R. Farwell and Abner
Taylor, of Chicago, own a controll
ing interest in the company and
that they illegally leased to them
selves the land aud cattle of the
corporation and tnat they turned
the ranches and cattle over to
themselves under what is alleged
to be permanent leases. The fur
ther allegation is made that they
are selling the best portion of the
ranch to the detriment of the ranch
property as a whole,
In addition to three million acres
of patented land,the company owns
about 140,000 head of Hereford,
Aberdeen-Angus, short horns and
other cattle.
Broom Corn Pays Well.
A Muscogee county mail has
found a profitable crop in brootn
corn.
H, C Hardy has started anew
industry near Richland in the rais
ing of broom corn. He is now
cutting his crop on what is the
largest field of broom corn in the
Columbus section. It is said that
broom corn will pay better than
cottcn if carefully and properly
cultivated on a suitable land. Mr.
Hardy has all his crop sold to a
factory in the south. Nearly all
the broom factories in the south at
present get their broom corn in the
west. Speaking of this crop, Mr.
Hardy says:
“The raising of broom corn is a
new industry in the south. The
average product per acre is 500
pounds of brush. When the soil
is fine, as much as 1,000 pounds
can be raised. As there is no sub
stitute for broom corn brush, it is
always in demand. It is a crop
that can be easily cultivated, and
grows best where native corn
grows best, requiring the same
fertilizing. It does best in bottom
lands. In planting it, the rows
should be three or four feet apart.
It can be planted in hills two or
three feet apart, with five or six in
the hill. If drilled, the stalks
should be four or five inches apart
or what is better, chop out with a
No. 2 hoe, leaving three or four in
a bunch. Cultivating the same as
corn, but be careful and not cover
the small plants. The time of har
vest in this section (southwest
Georgia) is in July. Market
prices range from 5, cents to 8 cents
per pound. The seed is fine feed
for chickens. Mixed with oats, it
is fine feed for stock. Cattle and
hogs will thrive on it.”
The taws of health require that
the bowels move once each day
and one of the penalties of this
law is piles. Keep your bowels
regular by taking a dose of Cham
berlain’s Stomach and Liver Tab
lets when necessary and you will
never have that severe punishment
inflicted upon you. Price, 25 cts.

These are the enervating davs, when,

sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people wliost systems are poorly
sustained; and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides a blood purifier and tonic,
—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will, without any
doubt, avert much sickness at this time
of year.
Southern Iron Trade-
Philadelphia Times.
While the iron and steel trade in
the north is rent with disagree
ments between the capitalist and
the workman, much industrial ac
tivity is shown in the business in
Alabama. Should the interrupt
ion in manufacturing in Pittsburg
and its. neighborhood continue it
is more than likely that the south’s
industries will receive an added
impetus At the plants in and
about Birmingham the scale has
been signed and all the plants,
guaranteed against labor troubles,
are operating actively. The mills
are reported to be rushed with or
ders, many of them for West In
dian and Mexican acconnt. For
several years a good percentage of
the southern output went regu
larly to Mobile and other ports for
shipment all over the woild. This
was during the hard times follow
ing ’93, and while there is little
surplus for the foreign trade today
on account of the active demand in
the United States, Birmingham
can still manufacture quite as
cheaply, if uot cheaper, than any
competitor. '
Southern pig iron will again go
out to England and other Euro
pean markets in large quantities as
soon as the conditions are ripe for
a resumption of the export trade.

healthy woman is always attract

every drop of blood in the veins is
pure a beauteous flush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is im
pure, moroseness, bad temper and
a sallow complexion tells the tale
of sickness, all too plainly. And
women to-day know there is no
beauty without health. Wine of
Oardui crowns women with beauty
and attaetivenessby making strong
and healthy those organs which
make her a woman. Try Wine of

Every woman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, ail her
own, will nestle in her bosom fullv
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hoverinz
about the pretty picture in her mind
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
of the joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, welbknown
and recommended by physicians a
liniment called
Mother’s Friend
which makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
