Marquis of Chateauroy, laughed and j sabreur—kills as many men to his own
looked up.
“Ah, is it thee, my pretty brunette?
Take what thou wantest out of the ice
pails.’’
“The best growth?” asked Cigarette,
with the dubious air of caution of a
connoisseur.
“Come!” said the marquis, amused
with the precautions taken, with his
cellar, one of the finest in Algiers.
‘Come in and have some breakfast, my
pretty one. Only pay the toll.”
AYliere he sat between the window
and the table he caught her in his
arms and drew her pretty face down.
Cigarette, with the laugh of a saucy
child, whisked her cigar out of her
nouth and blew a great cloud of smoke
in his eyes. She had no particular
fancy for him, though she had for his
wines. Shouts of mirth from the other
men completed the marquis’ discom
fiture as she swayed away from him
and went over to the other side of the
table, emptying some bottles uncer-
emonicusly into her wine keg—iced,
ruby, perfumy claret that she could
not have bought anywhere.for the bar
racks.
“Thou art not generally so coy with
thy kisses, petite,” cried the marquis.
Cigarette tossed her head.
“I don't like bad clarets after good!
I’ve just been with your corporal
Bel-a-faire-peur. You are no beauty
after him, Mr. Colonel.”
Chateauroy's face darkened. He was
a colossal limbed man, whose bone
was iron and whose muscles were like
oak fibers: he had a dark, keen head
like an eagle's, the brow narrow, but
very high, looking higher because the
close cut hair was worn off the tem
ples, thin lips hidden by heavy curling
mustaches and a skin burned black
by long African service. Still he was
fairly handsome enough not to have
muttered so heavy an oath as he did
at the vivandiere’s jest.
“Sucre bleu! I wish my corporal
were shot! One can never hear the last
of him.”
Cigarette darted a quick glance at
him. “Oh, ho, jealous!” thought her
quick wits. “And why, I wonder?'
“Y'ou haven’t a finer soldier in your
chasseurs; don’t wish him shot for the
good of the service,” said the Viscount
de Chanrellon, who had now a com
mand of his own in the light cavalry
of Algiers. “If I had to choose whether
I be backed by Bel-a-faire-peur or
by six other men in the skirmish, I’d
choose him and risk the odds.”
Chateauroy tossed off his Burgundy
with a contemptuous impatience.
“Diable! That is the nonsense one
always hears about this fellow, as if
he was a second Roland or a revivified
Bayard! I see nothing particular in
him except that he’s too fine a gentle
man for the ranks.”
“Fine? Ah,” laughed Cigarette, “he
made me a bow this morning like a
court chamberlain, and his beard is
like carded silk, and he has such wom
an’s hands! But he is a fire eater too.”
“Slather,” laughed Claude de Chan
rellon, as magnificent a soldier himself
as ever crossed swords. “I said he
would eat fire the first time I saw him.
I wish I had him instead of you, Cha
teauroy: like lightning in a charge, and
yet the very man for a dangerous bit
of secret service that wants the soft
ness of a panther. We all let our
tongues go too much, but he says so
little—just a word here, a word there—
when one’s wanted—no more. And he’s
the devil’s own to fight!”
The marquis heard the praise of his
corpora], knitting his heavy brows. Ii
was evident the private was no favor
ite with him.
“The fellow rides well enough,” he
sword as 1 could myself when it comes
to a hand to hand fight; breaks horses
in like magic; rides them iike the wind:
has a hawk’s eye over open country:
obeys like clockwork. What more can
you want?”
“Obeys! Yes,” said tiie colonel. of
chasseurs, with a suarl. “He'd obey
without a word if you ordered him to
walk up to a cannon’s mouth and he
blown from it, but he gives you such a
line gentleman glance as he listens that
one would think he commanded the
regiment.”
“But he’s very popular with your
men too?”
“The worst quality a corporal can
have. His idea of maintaining disci
pline is to treat them to cognac aud
give them tobacco.”
“Parbleu! Not a bad way, either,
with our French fire eater. Your squad
rons will go to the devil after him.”
The colonel gave a grim laugh.
“I dare say nobody knows the way
better.”
Cigarette, flirting with the other of
ficers, drinking champagne by great
glassfuls, eating bonbons from one,
sipping another's soup, pulling the
limbs of a succulent ortolan to pieces
with a relish and devouring truffles
with all the zest of a bon 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.
“Colonel,” she cried while she ate his
foie gras with as little ceremony and
as much enjoyment as would be ex
pected from a young plunderer accus
tomed to think a meal all the better
spiced by being stolen, “whatever else
your handsome corporal is, he is an
aristocrat. Ah. ah, 1 know the aristo
crats—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
mere to nook lor her uttermost mis
chief.
“By the way,” she went on, quick
as thought, with her reckless,
may care gayety, “one thiug
corporal will demoralize the army of
Africa!”
| “Eh? He shall have an on See of
| cold lead before he does. What in?”
! "He will demoralize it.” said Ciga-
j ret to. with a sagacious shake of her
j head, "if they follow his example, we
i shan't have a chasseur or a spahis or
1 a piou-piou or a sapeur worth any
thing”—
“Sacre! What does he do?” The
colonel’s strong teeth bit' savagely
through his cigar. Ho would have giv
en much to have been able to find a
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 lire eaters of his regiment.
“He won’t only demoralize the ar-
i my,” pursued Cigarette, with vivacious
I eloquence, “but if his example is fol
lowed he’ll ruin the prefets, close the
bureaus, destroy the exchequer, beg
gar all the officials, make African life
as tame as milk and water and rob
you, colonel, of your yery highest and
dearest privileges!”
“Sacre bleu!” 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 lansque
net with all the ardor of a gambler
and the vivacity 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
dowu like water.
Meanwhile, where she had left him
among the stones of the ruined mosque,
the chasseur whom they nicknamed
Bel-a-faire-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 aud his
spurred heel thrust info the sand.
He was a dashing cavalry soldier,
who had had a dozen wounds cut over,
his body by the Bedouins 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
under the stars, with the saddle be
neath his head and his rifle in his hand,
all through the night; who had served,
and served well, in tierce, arduous, un
remitting work in trying campaigns
and in close discipline and who had
blended the brilliance, the daring, the
eat-drink -and - enjoy- for-tomorrow-we-
die of the French chasseur with some
thing that was very different and much
more tranquil.
Yet, though as bold a man as any en
rolled in the French service, he sat
alone here in the shadow of the col
umn, thoughtful, motionless, lost in si
lence.
In his left hand was a newspaper six
months old, and his eyes rested on a
line in the obituary:

had the salient features of all the va
ried species that make up the soldiers

Aud every now aud 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 abandonment 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.
He was in the house; she knew it.
Had she seen him drinking with some
others, or rather paying for all, but
taking little bimself, just as slie en
tered? He was in the bouse, this nfys-
terious Bel-a-faire-peur, and was not
here to see her dance!
He was leaning over the little wood
en ledge of a narrow window in an in
ner room, from which one by one some
spahis and some troopers of bis own
squadron, with whom he had just been
drinking suc-h burgundies and brandies
as the place could give, had sloped
away one by one under the irresistible
attraction of the vivaudiere.
A whirlwind of 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 tn- ,
mult, the gay. ringing voice of Cigarettes
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.
The grumbled assent of the accused
was inaudible.
“Ingrate!” pursued the scornful, tri-
umpliaut voice of Cigarette. “You

the little ingrate had aimed at a sore
point in him. 1-Ie was of the first
empire nobility, anti he was weak
enough, though a fierce, dauntless,
iron nerved soldier, to be discontented
with the great fact that his father

where Cleopatra wandered un
der the palm aisles of her rose
gardens. Drummers roll their caserne
calls where Drusus fell aud Sulia laid
down dominion. And here in the land
of Hannibal, in the conquest of Scipio,
in the Phoenicia, whose loveliness used
to flash in the burning, sea mirrored
sun while her fleets went eastward aud
westward for the honey of Athens and
the gold of Spain—here Cigarette danc
ed the cancan!
A little hostelry swung its sigu of the
As du Pique, where feathery palms
once had waved above mosques of
snowy gleam, with marble domes and
jeweled arabesques, and the hush of
prayer under columned aisles. "Here
are sold wine, liquor anil tobacco”
was written where once verses of the
Koran had been blazoned by reverent
hands along porphyry cornices and
capitals of jasper. A cafe ebantant
reared its impudent little roof where
once, far back in the dead cycles,
Phoenician warriors had watched the
galleys of the gold haired favorite of
the gods bear dowu to smite her
against whom the one unpardonable
sio of rivalry to Rome was quoted.
The floor was bare and well polished;
the air full of tobacco smoke, wine
j fumes, brandy odors and an overpow-
j ering sceut of oil. garlic and cooking,
i Riotous music pealed through it that
| even in its clamor kepj a certain sil-
j very ring, a certain rhythmical cadence.
| Pipes were smoked, barrack slang,
camp slang and temple slang were
chattered volubly. Theresa’s songs
were sung by bright eyed, sallow
cheeked Parisiennes aud chorused by
the lusty lungs of zouaves and tur-
cos. and now, where the crowds of
soldiers and women stood back to
leave her a clear space, Cigarette was
dancing alone.
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 iu 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 ouee essay
ed to bribe the famous little Friend of
the Flag to dance for ihem and had
failed, but for a set cf soldiers, war
worn, dust covered, weary with toil
and stiff with wounds, she would do it
till the} 7 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 it—that heart of a
girl and a soldier, of a hawk and a kit

of a lasear anu a child, which beat so
brightly and so boldly under the dainty j
