“Speak!” hissed Cigarette through
her clinched teeth.
“He is the head of my house!” he
answered her, scarce knowing what he
answered. “He should bear the title
that I bear now. He is here in this
misery because he is the most merci
ful, the most generous, the most long
suffering of living souls. If he die, it
it not they who have killed him; it
is I!”
“Settle with yourself for that sin,”
she said bitterly. “Your remorse will
not save him. But do the thing that
I bid you if that remorse be sincere.
Write me out here that title you say
he should bear and your statement that
he is your brother and should be the
chief of your house, then sign it and
give it to me.”
He seized her hands and gazed with
imploring eyes into her face.
“Who are you? What are you? If
you have the power to do it, for the
love of God rescue him! It is I who
have murdered him—I who have let
him live on in this hell for my sake!”
She brought him pens and paper from
the Turk’s store and dictated what he
wrote:
I hereby affirm that the person serving- in the
Chasseurs d’Afrique under the name of Louis Vic
tor is my elder brother, Dertie Cecil, lawfully, by
inheritance, the Viscount Royallieu, peer of Eng
land. I hereby also acknowledge that I have suc
ceeded to and borne the title illegally under the
supposition of his death. Berkelet Cecil.
He let her draw the paper from him
and fold it away in her belt. He
watched her with a curious, dreamy
sense of his own Impotence against the
fierce and fiery torrent of her bidding.
“Can his life yet be saved?”
“His honor may—his honor shall. Go
to him, coward, and lot the balls that
kill him reach you, too, if you have one
trait of manhood left in you!”
Then, swiftly as a swallow darts, she
quitted him aud flew on her headlong
way down through the pressure of the
v people and the throngs of the marts
and the noise and the color and the
movement of the streets.
The sun was scarcely declined from
its noon before she rode out of the city
on a half bred horse of the spahis,
swift as the antelope and as wild, with
her only equipment some pistols in her
holsters and a bag of rice and a skin of
water slung at her saddlebow. She
had a long route before her. She had
many leagues to travel, and there were
but four and twenty hours, she knew
well, left to the man who was con
demned to death; four and twenty
hours left open for appeal, no more, be
twixt the delivery and execution of the
sentence. There were 50 miles be
tween ber aud her goal. Abd-el-Ka-
der’s horse had once covered that space
in three hours, so men of the army of
d’Auinale had told her. She knew
what they had done she could do.
Once only she paused, to let her horse
lie a brief while and cool his foam
flaked sides and crop some short, sweet
grass. Then she mounted again aud
again went on in her flight The horse
was reeking with smoke and foam and
the blood was coursing from his flanks
as she reached her destination at last
and threw herself off his saddle as ho
sank faint aud quivering to the ground.
Whither she had come was to a for
tress where the marshal of France, who
was the viceroy of Africa, had arrived

"Have :: care of him arul lead mo to
the chief.”
She spoke quietly, but a certain sen
sation of awe and fear moved those
who heard. They hesitated to take her
message, to do her bidding. The one
whom she sought was groat and su
preme here as a king. They dreaded
to approach his staff, to ask his audi
ence.
Cigarette looked at them a moment,
then loosc-neu her cress and held it out
to an adjutant standing beneath the
gates.
“Take that to the man who gave it |
me. Tell him Cigarette waits and ;
with each moment that she waits a sol
dier's life is lost. Go!”
A few minutes and the decoration
was brought back to her and her de
mand was granted. The marshal, lean
ing against a brass Celdpieee. turned to
her with the smile iu his keen, stern
eyes.
“Wliat brings you here?”
She came up to him with her rapid,
leepardlike grace, and he started as he
saw the change upon her features. She
was covered with sand and dust and
with the animal’s biood flecked foam.
“Monseigneur, I have come from Al
giers since noon”—
“From Algiers!" He and hia officers
echoed the name of the city in incredu
lous amaze. They knew how far from
them down along the sea line the white
town lay.
“Since noon, to rescue a life—the life
of a great soldier, of a guiltless man.
He who saved the honor of France at
Zaraila is to die the death of mutineer
at dawn!”
“What! Your chasseur?”
A dusky scarlet fire burned through
the pallor of her face, but her eyes
never quailed, and the torrent cf her
eloquence returned under the pnugs of
shame that were beaten back under the
noble instincts of her love.
“Mine, since he is a soldier of France;
yours, too, by that title. I am come
here from Algiers to speak the truth in
his name, and, by my cross, by my flag,
by my France, I swear that not a hair
of his head shall be touched, not a drop
of blood in his veins shall be shed!”
“You speak madly,” he said, with
cold brevity. “The offense merits the
chastisement. I shall not attempt to
Interfere.”
“Hear me at least!” she cried, with
passionate ferocity—the ferocity of a
dumb anfmal wounded by a shot. “You
do not know what this man is, how he
has had to endure. I do. I have watch
ed him; I have seen the brutal tyranny
of his chief, who hated him because
the soldiers loved him; I have seen his
patience, his obedience, his long suf
fering beneath insults that would have
driven any other to revolt and murder;
I have seen him—I have told you how
—at Zaraila, thinking never of death or
of life, only of our flag. Look you! I
have seen him so tried that I told him
—I, who love my army belter than any
living thing under the sun — that I
would forgive him if he forgot duty
and dealt with his tyrant as man to
man. And he always hold his soul in
patience. Why? Not because he fear
ed death—he desired it—hut because
he loved his comrades and suffered in
peace and in silence lest, through him,
they should be led into evil.”
His eyes softened as he heard her,
but the inflexibility of his voice never
altered.
“It la useless to argue with me,” he
said briefly. “I never change a sen
tence.”
“But I say that you shall!” As the
audacious words were flung forth she
looked him full in the eyes, while her
voice rang with its old imperious ora
tory. “You are a great chief. You
are as a monarch here. You hold the
gifts and the grandeur of the empire,
but because of that, because you are as
France in my eyes, I swear, by the
name of France, that you shall see
justice done to him—after death if you
cannot in life. Do you know who is
he* this man whom his comrades will
shoot down at sunrise as they shoot
down the murderer and the ravisher in
their crimes? He is a man who vindi
cated a woman’s honor. He is a man
who suffers in his brother’s place. He
is an aristocrat exiled to a martyrdom.
He is a hero who has never been great
er than he will be great in his last
hour. Read that! What you refuse to
justice and mercy and courage and
guiltlessness you will grant maybe to
your order.”
She forced Into his hand the written
statement of Cecil’s name and station.
The French marshal glanced his eye
on the fragment carelessly and coldly.
As he saw the words he started and
read on with wondering eagerness.
“Royallieu!” he muttered. “Royal-
lieu!” The years had been many since
Cecil and he lied met, but not so many
but that the name brought memories
of friendship with it and moved him
with a strange emotion.
He turned with grave anxiety to Cig
arette.
“You speak strangely. How came
this in your hands?”
“Thus: The day that you gave me the
cross I saw Princess Corona. I hated
her, and I went—no matter. From her
I learned that he whom we call Louis
Victor was of her rank, was of old
friendship with her house, was exiled
and nameless, but for some reason un
known to her. She needed to see him.
I took the message for her. I sent him
to her. He went to her tent, alone, at
night. That was, of course, whence
he came when Chateauroy met him. I
doubt not the Black Hawk had some
foul thing to hint of his visit and that
the blow was struck for her—for her!
Well, In the streets of Algiers I saw
a man with a face like his own—dif
ferent, but the same race, iook you.
I spoke to him. I taxed him. When
he found that the one whom I spoke of
was under sentence of death, he grew
mad. He cried out that he was his
brother and had murdered him—that
it was for his sake that the cruelty of
this exile had been borne—that if his
brother perished he would be his de
stroyer. Then I bade him write down
that paper, and I brought it hither to
you that you might see that I have
uttered the truth. And now is that
man to be killed like a mad beast
seen beneath the light shed on it from
other days.
His hand fell heavily on the gun
j carriage.
! “Hea’vens! It was his brother’s sin,
| not his!” The marshal swung round
i with a rapid sign to a staff officer.
I “Pens and ink—instantly! My brave
j child, what can we say to you? I will
send an aid to arrest the execution of
It was his brother's sin,
the sentence. It must be deferred till
we know the whole truth of this. If it
be as it looks now, he shall be saved if
the empire can save him.”
She looked up in his eyes with a look
that froze his very heart.
“His honor,” she muttered, “his hon
or, if not his life.”
He understood her. He bowed his
haughty head low down to hers.
“True. We will cleanse that if all
other justice be too late.”
The answer was infinitely gentle, in
finitely solemn. Then lie turned and
wrote his hurried order and bade his
aid to go with it without a second’s
loss. But Cigarette caught it from his
hand.
“To me, to me! No other will go so
fast.”
“But, my child, you are worn out at
ready.”
She turned on him her beautiful wild
eyes, in which the blinding, passionate
tears were floating.
. “Do you think I would tarry for
that? Ah, I wish that I had let them
tell me of God, that I might ask him
how to bless you! Quick, quick! Lend
me your swiftest horse, one that will
not tire. And send a second order by
your aid-de-camp. The Arabs may kill
me as I go, and then they will not
know.”
He stooped aud touched her little-
brown. scorched, feverish hand witL
reverence.
“My child, Africa has shown me
much heroism, but none like yours. If
you fall, he shall he safe, and France
will know how to avenge its darling’s
loss.”
Then, without another second's
pause, she flew from them and, vault
ing into the saddle of a young horse
which stood without in the courtyard,
rode once more, at full speed, out into
the pitiless blaze of the sun, out to the
wasted desolation of the plains.
The order of release, indeed, was in
her bosom, but the chances were as a
million to one that she would reach
him with It In time, ere, with the ris
ing of the sun, his life would have set
forever.
All the horror of remorse was on her.
To her nature the bitter jealousy in
which she had desired vengeance on
him seemed to have rendered her a
murderess. She loved him—loved him
with an exceeding passion—and only in
this extremity, when it was confronted
with the imminence of death, did the
fullness and the greatness cf that love
make their way out of the petulant
pride and the wounded vanity which
had obscured them. She had been ere
now a child and a hero. Beneath this
blow which struck at him she changed
—she became a woman and a martyr.
And she rode at full speed through
the night, as she had done through the
daylight, her eyes glancing all around
in the keen instinct of a trooper, her
hand always on the butt of her belt
pistol. Her brain had no sense, her
hands had no feeling, her eyes had no
sight. The rushing as of waters was
loud on her ears, and the giddiness of
fasting and of fatigue sent the gloom
eddying round and round, like a whirl
pool of shadow. Yet she had remem
brance enough left to ride on and on
and on without once flinching from the
agonies that racked her cramped limbs
and throbbed in her boating temples.
She had remembrance enough to strain
her blind eyes toward the east and
murmur, in her terror of that white
dawn that must soon break, the only
prayer that had been ever uttered by
the lips no mother’s kiss had ever
touched:
“O God, keep the day back!”

adjutant in command and addressed
him with brief preface, hurriedly and
; low.
“Your prisoner is Victor of the elms- ;
sours? He is to be shot this morn-
S ing?”
; The officer assented. He suffered
! the interruption, recognizing the rank
of the speaker.
i “1 heard of it yesterday. I r.»de all
night, from Oran. I feel great pity
1 for this man, though he is unknown to
! me.” the stranger pursued in rapid
whispered words. “His crime was”— j
“A blow to his colonel, monsei- ;

"And there is no possibility of a re- j

“None.”
“May I speak with him an instant? j
I have heard it thought that he is of ;
my country and of a rank above his
standing in his regiment here.”
“You may address him, M. le Due,
but be brief. Time presses.”
He thanked the officer for the un
usual permission and turned to ap
proach the prisoner. At that moment
Cecil turned also, and their eyes met.
A great shuddering cry broke from
them both. Ilis head sank as though
the bullets had already pierced his
breast, and the man who believed him
dead stood gazing at him, paralyzed
with horror.

FAMOUS CASE IN ELBERT.
More Than Twenty Trials Have Oc
curred Over Dye Estate.
Elberton. Ga., Sept. 2.—Auditor W.

referred the case of E. B. Tate, admin

Dye, against the former executors who
Were saing for a settlement, claiming
waste in extra compensation and exces
sive attorney fees, has made and filed
his report. The report is about 4.000
words long aud finds $525 for the plain
tiff. This case was tried before a jury
at a previous term of court and the jury
gave the plaintiff about $7,000. The
plaintiff will file exceptions.
This is the famous Dye case still in
court. It will be recalled that old man
Wash Dye left his large estate of about-
$75,000 to some negro children. Efforts
were made to break the will, but with
out success. The executors employed
Hon. W. M. Howard, ex-Judge Hamil
ton McWhorter, Judge P. P. Prcffit of
the city court of Elberton and G. C.
Grogan and the late John P. Shannon
to represent them, and paid them each
$5,000 as fees. The ordinary also allowed
the executors $10,000 extra compensa
tion. The administrator de bonis non
claimed that these amounts were ex
cessive and sought to recover a part
back from the estate of the executors,
both of whom are dead. The auditor
found $525 for him. There were other
issues, but the extra compensation and
attorney fees were the main points at
tacked.
There have been about 20 trials in one
way or the other of this estate, and the
end is not yet in sight.

at the Southern Inter-State Fair to b?
held in Atlanta, Ga.. beginning October
8, will be able to ship exhibits free of
caarge overall the railroads leading into

of the Southeastern Freight Association
at a recent meeting held iu New York.
Immediately after the close cf the At

nah fair free of ciiarge.
The result of this action on the pari

coualios which had not intended to ex
hibit as counties for the prizes of 15,50-3
offered iu Atlanta will take advantage
cf this concession aud make exhibits.
This means keener competition and a
higher class of exhibits.

Intoxicated Man Meets Death Under

Valdosta, Ga., Sept 2.—W. J. Nel
son of this city was run over and in
stantly killed by a Piant system train
about 5 miles we6t of here Saturday
night
He was under the influence of whisky
and it is supposed lay down on the track
and went to sleep. He was in town
late in the afternoon, and it is said
boarded the 8 o’clock train. As he had
no ticket and could give no intelligible
answer to the conductor as to where he
intended going, he was put off at Kin-
derlou, when the train arrived there.
To parties there, Nelson said he was
going to sleep on the depot platform,
but it is supposed that he afterwards
decided to walk back to town. After
walking about a mile he lay down on the
track aud met death under the wheels.
His body was found lying across the
track the next morning with the head
mashed off and otherwise mutilated.

CHAPTER XXIII.
HERE was a line of light in
the eastern sky. The camp
was very still. Cecil stood
tranquil beside the coffin with
in which his broken limbs aud shot
pierced corpse would so soon be laid
forever. There was a deep sadness on
his face, but it was perfectly serene.
To the words of the priest who ap
proached him he listened with respect,
though he gently declined the services
of the church.
When they came near to bind the
covering over his eyes, lie motioned
them away, taking the bandage from
their hands and casting it far from
him.
“Did I ever fear to look down the
depths of my enemies’ muskets?”
It was the single outbreak, the single
reproach, that escaped from him, the
single utterance by which he ever quot
ed his services to France. Not one who
heard him dared again to force on him
that indignity which would have blind
ed his light as though he had ever
dreaded to meet death.
That one protest having escaped him,
he was cnee more still and calm, as
though the vacant grave yawning at
his feet had been but a couch of down
to rest his tired limbs.
“It is best thus,” he thought, “if
only she never knows”—

Society Women Use Pineapples to
Ornament Dinner 'fables.
A fad has developed a new industry
in St. Louis, says the Chicago Reccrd-
Heruld. Fashionable women have cre
ated a demand for a product that here
tofore has attracted little attention in
the St. Louis market. A bright society
leader discovered that pineapples
would make a beautiful and appropri
ate decoration for the dinner table.
Now there is a new note In the motif
of the Third street market. Landaus
and victorias thread their way through
the maze of hucksters’ wagons, and
richly gowned women clamor for pine
apples. The fruit is judged not only
by its food quality, but by its artistic
beauty.
The decorative pineapple must wear
its eye delighting crown of green palm-
like leaves, by right of which it claims
precedence as the king of fruits.

Porto Ricant) Learn English.
The greatest ambition of every Porto
Rican now is to learn English., says
the Sp.:i Juan News. He sees that his
brothers who understand the English
language are making great strides in
life, while lie is left behind. It is cer
tainly a great advantage in Porto Rico
for a young mail to know both lan
guages well. There are very few in
deed who do know both languages well
and are competent translators. It is
not the art of transcribing words of
one language into the words of an
other. There are many who can do
this and call thc-mselves translators.
They are not translators. They are
bunglers and are doing what any
bungler can .do with a dictionary in
his hand. But the man who can
transcribe a thought from English into
Spanish or rice versa is the man who
is in demand. The translation should
not have the earmarks of a translation.
It should not be evident to the reader
that it is a translation. Most trans
lators have this fault. It should ap
pear as if originally written iu the
language in which it is clothed.
