Outside her tout the challenge -rang
on the air:
“Who goes there?”
Cecil never heard it. Even the old,
long accustomed habits of a soldier’s
obedience were killed in him.
“Who goes there?” the challenge
rang again.
Still he never heard, but went ou
blindly. Front where the tents stood
there was a stronger breadth of light,
through which he had passed and was
passing still—a light strong enough for
It to be seen whence he came, but not
strong enough to show his features.
“Halt, or I fire!” The sentinel
brought the weapon to his shoulder
and took a calm, close, sure aim. He
did not speak. The password he had
forgotten as though he had never heard
or never given it.
Another figure than that of the sol
dier on guard came out of the shadow
and stood between him and the senti
nel. It was that of Cbateauroy. He
was mounted on Iiis gray horse and
wrapped in his military cloak, about to
go the round of the cavalry camp.
“It is cue of my men,” said the chief
carelessly to the sentinel. “Leave me
to deal with him.”
The guard saluted and resumed his
beat.
“Why did you refuse the word, sir?”
“I did not hear.”
“Why are you absent from your
squadron?”
There was uo reply.
“Have you no tongue, sir? Why are
you here?”
There was again uo answer.
Chateauroy’s teeth ground out a fu
rious oath. Yet a flash of brutal de
light glittered in his eyes. At last he
had hounded down this mau, so long
out of his reach, into disobedience and
contumacy.
“Why are you here, and where have
you been?” he demanded ouce more.
“I will not say.”
The dark and evil countenance above
him grew livid with fury.
“I c-an have you thrashed like a dog
for that answer, and I will. But first
listen! I know as well as though you
had confessed to me. Your silence
cannot shelter your great mistress’
sham. Ah, ha, la Faustine! So ma-
dame your princess is so cold to her
equals only to choose her lovers out of
my blackguards and take her midnight
intrigues like a camp courtesan!”
Cecil's face changed terribly as the
vile words were spokeu. With the
light and rapid spring of a leopard he
reached the side of his commander,
one hand on the horse’s mane, the oth
er on the wrist of his chief, that it
gripped like an iron vise.
“You lie, and you know' that you liei
Breathe her name once more, and, by
heaven, as we are both living men, I
will have your life for your outrage!”
And as he spoke with his left hand
he smote the lips that had blasphemed
against her.
Chateauroy wrenched his wrist out
of the hold that crushed it and drew
his pistol Cecil kuew that the laws of
active service would hold him but just
ly dealt with if the shot laic! him dead
iu that instant for his act aud his
words.
“You can kill mo; I know it. Well,
use your prerogative; it will be the
sole good you have ever done to me.”
And he stood ereet, patient, motion
less, looking into his chief’s eyes with
a calm disdain, with an unuttered
challenge that for the first moment
wrung something of savage respect
and of sullen admiration out from the
soul of his great foe.
He did not fire. It was the only time
In which any trait of abstinence from
cruelty bad been ever seen in him. He

The touch of a bird’s wing brushing
her hair brought the dreamy compari

started and lifted her head. It was a

messages for the soldiers between the
various stations and corps. She had
forgotten she had left the bird at the
encampment.
She caressed it absently, while the
tired creature sank down on her bosom.
Then only she saw that there was a
letter beneath one wing.
She found an old French cobbler sit
ting at a stall in a easement stitching
leather. lie was her customary reader
and scribe in this quarter. She touch
ed him with the paper. “Good Ma-
thieau, wilt thou read this to me?”
And he read aloud:
Every weman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own, will nestle in her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
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, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
Meifief $ fiieni
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.

None knew, not even Cigarette. She

her skirt. She had the cross on her j

She rose impetuously. The nigljJ was
far spent, the camp was very still, the
torches had long died out, and a streak
of dawn was visible in the cast. She
stood awhile looking very earnestly
across the wide black city of tent;;.

CHAPTER XXII.
HE warm, transparent light cf
an African autumnal noon
shone down through the white
canvas roof cf a great tent in
the heart of the encamped divisions at
the headquarters of the army of the
south. In the tent there was a densely
packed throng, an immense, close,
hushed, listening crowd, of which ev
ery man wore the uniform of France,
fer they were iu court, and that court
was the court martial of their own
southern camp.
The prisoner was arraigned on the
heaviest charge that can be laid against
the soldier of any army, and yet, as the
many eyes of the military crowd turn
ed on iiim where he stood surrounded
by his guard, his crime against his
chief was forgotten, and they only re
membered Zaraila. He preserved en
tire reticence in court. The instant the
accusation had been read to him he
had seen that his chief would not dare
to couple with it the proud, pure name
he had dared hi outrage. His most
bitter anxiety was thus at an end. For
all the rest he was tranquil.
No ease could be clearer, briefer, less
complex, more entirely incapable of de
fense. The soldiers of the guard gave
evidence as to the violence and fury of
the assault. The accuser merely stated
that, meeting his corporal out of the
bounds of the cavalry camp, he had
asked him where he had been aud on
his commanding an answer had been
assaulted in the manner described
with violence sufficient to have cost his
life had not the guard been so near at
hand. The statement passed without
contradiction by the prisoner, who only
replied that the facts were stated ac
curately as they occurred and that his
reasons for the deed he declined to as
sert. When it was finally demanded
of him if he had aught to urge in his
own extenuation, he paused a moment,
with a gaze under which even the bard
eagle eyes grew restless, looked across
to Chateauroy and addressed his an
tagonist rather Ilian the president:
“Only this—that a tyrant, a liar and
a trnducer cannot wonder if men pre
fer deatii to submission beneath insult.
But 1 am well aware that this is no
vindication of my act as a soldier, and
I have no desire to say words which,
whatever their truth, might become
hereafter dangerous legacies and dan
gerous precedents to the army.”
That was all which he answered, aud
neither his counsel nor his accusers
could extort another syllable from him.
He never moved once while the decree
of death was read to him, and there
was no change in the weary calmness
of his eyes. He bent his head in ac
quiescence.
“It is well.” he said simply.
It seemed well to him. Dead, his
secret would lie in the grave with him
and the long martyrdom of his life be
ended.
In the brightness of the noon Ciga
rette leaned out of her little oval case
ment, aud. for the first time also, hap
piness was not with her.
They were gone forever—all the elas
tic joyance, all the free, fair hours, all
the dauntless gavety of childhood, all
the sweet, harmonious laughter of a
heart without a care. They were gone
forever, for the touch of love and pain
had been laid on her. and never again
would her radiant eyes smile cloud
lessly,. like the young eagle’s, at a sun
that rose but to be greeted as only
youth can greet another dawn of life
that is without a shadow. To her it
seemed impossible that this patrician
who had his passion should not return
It. She only thought of love as she
had always seen it—quickly born, hotly
cherished, wholly indulged and without
tie or restraint.
“Aud : came without my vengeance!”
she mused. To the nature that felt
the ferocity of the vendetta a right
and a due there was wounding humili
ation in her knowledge that she had
left her rival unharmed and had come
hither, out from his sight and his
presence. lest he should see in her one
glimpse of that folly which she would
have killed herself under her own steel

“What arc' you to him?’
ficulty, ran in its brief phrases that the
slow muttering of the old shoemaker
drew out in tedious length.
Cigarette heard. She never made a
movement or gave a sound, but all
the blood fled out of her brilliant face,
leaving it horribly blanched beneath
its brown sun scorch, and her eyes,
distended, senseless, sightless, were
fastened ou the old man's slowly mov
ing mouth.
“Shot!” she said vacantly. “Shot!”
Her vengeance had come without her
once lifting her hand to summon it.
“The blow was struck for her,” she
muttered. “It was that night, you
hear—that night?”
“What night? Thou Icokest so
strangely. Dost thou love this doomed
soldier?”
Cigarette laughed—a laugh whose
echo thrilled horribly through the
lonely Moreseo courtway.
“Love! Love! I hated him, look
you! So I said. And I longed for my
vengeance. It is come!”
Then she crushed the letter in one
hand and flew, fleet as any antelope,
through the streets of the Moorish
quarter and across the city to the
quay.
The people ever gave way before
her. but now they scattered like fright
ened sheep from her path. There was
something that terrified them in that
bloodless horror set upon her face and
In that fury of resistless speed with
which she rushed upou her way.
Once only in her headlong career
through the throngs she paused. It
was as cue face, on which the strong
light of the noontide poured, came be
fore her. The senseless look changed
in her eyes. She wheeled out of her
route and stopped.
“Y T ou have his face!” she muttered.
“What are you to him?”
“To whom?”
“To the man who calls himself Louis
Victor, a chasseur of my army?”
Her eyes were fastened entirely upou
him, keen, ruthless, fierce, in this mo
meut, as a hawk’s. He grew pale and
murmured au incoherent denial. He
sought to shake her off, first geutly,
then more rudely. He called her mad
and tried to fling her from him. but the
lithe lingers only wound themselves
closer ou his arm.
“Be still, fool!” she muttered. “You
are of his people. You have his eyes
and his looks aud his features. lie
disowns you or you him. No matter
which, he is of your blood, and he lies
under sentence of death. Do you know
that?”
With a stifled cry the other recoiled
from her. He never doubted that she
spoke the truth. None could who had
looked upon her face.
“Do uot lie to me,” she said curtly.
“It avails you nothing. Read that.”
She thrust before him the paper the
pigeon had brought. His hand trem
bled sorely as he held it. He believed
in that moment that this strange crea
ture. half soldier, half woman, half
brigand, half child, kuew all his story
aud all his shame from his brother.
“Shot!” he echoed hoarsely as she
had done when he had read on to the
end. “Shot! Oh, my God, and I—I am
his brother!”
She was silent. Looking at him fix
edly, it did not seem to her strange
that she should thus have met one of
his blood in the crowds of Algiers.
“You are his •brother,” she said slow
ly. “Tell me his name, his rank.”
He was silent. Coward and egotist
that he was, both cowardice and ego
tism were killed in him under the over
whelming horror with which he felt
himself as truly by moral guilt a fratri
cide as though he had stabbed his elder
through the heart.

Four Men Lose Their .Lives
dent at Columbia.
Columbia, S. O., Aug. 27.—In an ac
cident at the bridge the Southern rail
way is building across the Oongaree
river near Columbia four men were
killed, three injured, one fatally and
two seriously.
The accident occurred yesterday and
was caused by tbe falling of two sttel
girders about 7 feet loug, weighing 15
! tons each. The girders were hoisted
! about midway of the river bridge. The
rains of the night previous had probably
caused the ropes holding them in place
to siip.
' The crash came without the slightest
j warning, and at the time when there
i were 75 people on the bridge, spectators
and workmen.
Three of the men were pinned to the
bridge and instantly killed, four more
were knocked into the river, two of |
whom were rescued by a government '
tug which came up from the Congareo
locks a quarter of a mile away. The
names of the dead and wounded are:
S. J. Castlebury, kilied; Reuben Als
ton, killed; Job DeByas, killed; Jim
Reese, drowned.
The wounded: Dana Stiles, fatally;
A. T. Thorntou, seriously; Sam Willi-
fred, seriously.
The bridge is being built by the Phe-
nix Bridge company of Philadelphia.
The bridge was not damaged materially,
but it is feared some of the iron work
has been considerably strained by the
falling girders.
All of the killed and injured belong to
Columbia.

The sceu9 of the wreck was a high
embankment of sand which had been
entirely washed away. The engiue and
four cars left the track when the road
bed gave away and pitched headlong
into the mud. The rest of the coaches,
while not overturned, were all derailed.
The engine was a mass of debris and
the tender was thrown 50 yards away.

BODY DISINTERRED.
Cigars Are Rights and Lefts.
“It is not always because a cigar is
badly made that the wrapper curis up
and works off,” said a tobacco dealer.
“It Is often because a right baudod
man is smoking a left banded cigar.
Sounds strange, hey? Well, a left
banded cigar is one rolled by tbe mak
er's left band, for all cigar makers
must be ambidexterous. A piece of
tobacco for a wrapper is cut ou tbe
bias and is rolled from left to right on
tbe filler. The other piece, for reasons
of economy, is then used aud must be
rolled tbe opposite way by tbe opera
tor’s other hand. Hence a smoker who
holds his cigar in bis right hand some
times in twisting it about rubs tbe
wrapper the wrong way and unloosens
it.”—Philadelphia Times.
Another Chapter In the Paradise
Furguson Duel Begins.
Washington, Ga., Aug. 28.—One
year ago near Lincointou George Pura-
dise and James Furguson engaged in a
mortal duel, iu winch Furguson was
slain. The prominence of the youn
men made the event of absorbing inter
•st to the citizens of Lincoln and
Wilkes.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson aud other
distinguished counsel was employed by
Paradise, and after the most exciting
trial iu the history of Lincoln there was
a mistrial.
The remains of Furguson, after hav
ing been interred 12 mouths, were yes
terday disinterred. This marks the be
ginning of another chapter in that la
mentable tragedy. The object of this
step is not known to the public. It is,
however, supposed that evidence will
be obtained to substantiate the hypothe
sis of the prosecution that a blow on the
head preceded the pistol wounds. The
body was decapitated by Dr. Estes aud
a search instituted for bullets imbedded
iu it and the skull is new in custody of
Dr. Estes.

case afresh, and another hard fought ‘
