CHAPTER I.
Springtime in F ranee a port's theme !
The charm of u gray-blue sky strung with
bead-like clouds, of level fields, of dis
tant spires and turrets jotted picturesque
ly on the horizon : and always the white
road, glistening, undulating ahead, keep
ing step with the windings of the Seine!
It war with the satiety of utter enjoy
ment that Annette at last closed her tired
eyes and, loaning 1 nek on the crimson
cushions of thp tonneau, gave herself up
to the twin luxuries of perfect motion
eyes
and
perfect air.
(-'hug-chug, snorted the motor as it swept
ahead, consuming space at the rate of
sixty kilometres an hour. Over the girl's
head rollicked a merry wind, now steeped
In sunshine, and again chill with the
breath of far-away ice fields. Behind lay
l'ans, letr unit very morning, and now
only a confused, composite memory of de
lights which had been crowded into three
delicious weeks. Ahead the telescopic
eyes of the motor pointed to Havre: and
then .Miss Bancroft shivered slightly
there would be the Channel crossing,
Southampton, Liverpool, and eventually
home !
Home. To the girl in the tonneau that
magic word signified chiefly an abode in
S street, one of Washington's unfashion
able thoroughfares, where bay-windowed
"twenty-foot-frouters" elbow each other
with offensive familiarity; where walls
are narrow, and ceilings low, and the
smell of cookery haunts the air.
It was in one of tii ;se so-called "desir
able residences" that Annette's father a
retired army officer nn half pay and her
two little brothers had been keeping bach
elor's hall without her for the past year.
However, Major Bancroft was a wise
pareut, as well as a kind-hearted if some
what prosaic mortal, and when Mrs.
D'fk Waring, who was a distant cousin
of his late wife's and a handsome woman
to boot, had taken him o.T forcibly in her
victoria one line day of the previous
spring, ami begged the loan ot that nice
girl of his for twelve months on the other
side of the ocean," he had said "Yes"
without hesitation.
After all. when a man has a penchant
for doing his own marketing and divides
his time satisfactorily between the club
and his newspaper, an only daughter is
not always indispensable especially
when she writes regularly and doesn't re
quire an allowance. Besides, what an
opportunity for the child! Kurope at
twenty-one! A witching combination,
even with an exacting chapprone to o.Tset
its charms.
"You know." Mrs. Waring had inform
ed her proposed charge very frankly, "I've
quarreled with Julie and, any way, one
gets tired of traveling forever with a
maid, as I've had to do ever since poor

to Annette. "Ti -e, to your right, see?"
Annette opened her eyes. B-side her
the chauffeur was leaning forward and
pointing to distant battlement. Far
above the road on a ro-ky height the cas
tle towered a sullen mass of ruins, blot
ing the fair lands-ape.
The two p-ople on the front sent of the
motor had turned their he.ids and were
Mariug up.
"What's thp use of sloppin' and over
Iiatilln' that old den V" demanded the hug",
br a.! hoisldered. thick set personage who
was grasping the steering wheel. "If
we're goin" to reach Bouen this afternoon,
we'd better push straight on and keep
cur nerve and muscles and tenier for the
cathedral. What say, GussieV"
All right, laconically agreed Mrs
waring, and the car shot on. "Mr. Buisl
is not an admirer of ruins.'' remarked the
chauffeur solto-vocp. and then, as his
companion acquiesced with a whimsica
shake of the head, he shrugged his leath
ei-ccert(i siioukiers and sat staring at
the Englishman's square back with
which glittered behind their goggles
The chauffeur himself was not an in
effective figure, in suite of thp coerles
the heavy brown beard, and brigand-like
moustache, not to mention an automobile
livery which could not quite obliterate
the graceful lines of his person and the
straightness of his nose.
Six weeks ago it was that he had ap
peared miraculously on the wide, shallow.
I orange-ported steps ot the Hotel de Paris,
at .Monaco, at the very moment that Mrs.
Waring .was descending them, and, ap
proaching her with a low bow, presented
to her a co rone ted missive, in which no
less a personage than the Prince Itode
rigo del Pino sang the praises of one
I.udovic Sarto, who had managed his
new forty-horse power touring car for
two years in a trip which must have tak
en in all the corners of the globe, dis
playing nerve, resource and science in
all motoring exigencies, besides intimate
fellowship with Baedeker and "unusual
linguistic ability." The effect of all this;
endorsed by the coronet, had its influence
on (iussie Waring, who engaged the par
agon on the spot.
And so I.udovic Sarto steered the new
Napier motor over the upper Cornice,
down to Monaco and Monte Carlo, and
finally up to Nice, where. Mr. Gerald
Buist. an ancient ally of Mrs. Waring's
( besides being second son of Lord Lind
say), appearing on the scene, the new
chauffeur was relegated ignominious)- to
the tonneau and t he society of Miss Ban
croft. A month is a long enough time to reg
ister an impression, and in Annette's
diary it will lie found recorded that there
are worse things in this sad world than
being whirled through space in a comfort
able arm-chair, tete-a-tete with an agree
able individual who has apparently been
everywhere and seen everything and who
knows how to talk about it all in excel
lent idiomatic English.
"Chauffeurie," if there be such a word,
is a curious craft, which admits of its
votary working like a coal heaver and
engine driver combined, while at the same
time preserving the manners and appear
ance of a gentleman.
"I know he's a gentleman." Annette
told herself irrelevantly, and for the
twentieth time, that June day, as Jhey
left Chateau Gaillard a pin point on the
sky line speeding on to Andelys, which
shimmered alluringly through a blue
hare.
Above the front seat a veiled hat and
a gray auto cap could be seen in close
propinquity, while their owners indulged
in ansorneci conversation, anu rue swing
ing car traced eccentric scallops on the
broad road.
"S'e wiil be in th ditch without doubt
if M-estcr Buist is not more careful,"
commented the chauffeur aside, in his pre-.!
else foreign English. He bit his lip and
'cowled as the motor skimm-d the edge
of the roadway in a Z'gzag course of per
ilously acute angles.
The girl beside him laughed softly.
"How yon want to be on that front seat
at this lircnent 1" she ejaculated.
Sarto turn-d bis head.
"Sousi. signorina ';" he asked, eyeing
his companion with an intent glance that
gave way to one of relu-tant admiration.
Annetre Bancroft was not a beauty:
the small oval face, with its delicate
childlike features, had none of her cous
in's emphatic brilliance. Nevertheless,
the girl's shy grace was full of poten
tiality hints h"lf uttered, yet unmistak
able, of the charm that was to be.
"Why do you imagine that I covet fh
front seat, siguorina?" he inquired curi
ously. Again Annette laughed. "Ah! I know
you must long to be at the helm ixgain."
she surmised sympathetically, "in jour
rightful place, with your hand on the
steering wheel."
"In my rightful place!" echoed the
chauffeur. The man had taken off his
glasses an unusual action with him
and without their somewhat fcrotPs,pi
protection his eyes gleamed out unfamil
larljr ; long, heavy-lidded brown eyes they
were, slightly raised at the corners, giv
ing their owner the half-sad, half-won-dering
expression of an animal.
He smiled now an odd, twisted smile.
"It is not always that I have been on
the front seat of a motor, siguorina."
Then, breaking off abruptly, "This is
Andelys," he said, in his usual tones.
"That spire it is a good piece of Nor
man architecture, do you not think so?"
But Annette only gazed absently ahead
as the motor tooled through crooked
st reels at a pace that gave chickens and
small children scant time to get out of
the way.
When they had left the little town
quite behind, she turned to her compan
ion again. "Now 1 am going to maW a
conjecture," this abruptly spoken in
French, the painfully correct French of
the boarding school. "Do you know"
she (lushed a little, inwardly surprised
at her own audacity "I've been wonder
ing tell nu if I'm not right in fancy
ing that at some time or other in the
course of your life you've been a Rol
dier; you know there is such an unmis
takably martial look to your shoulders."
The chauffeur smiled. "You have
great discernment, mademoiselle," he said
politely. "Yes. I have been in the For
eign Legion you know nothing ot that
organization? It is an extraordinary af
fair, the Foreign Legion" his tones
quickened, gaining a certain enthusiasm

neither more nor less. I served in tho
ranks for two years."
He stopped short, and as suddenly the
light, the vigor of an unwonted exalta
tion, went out of his face, which settled
into its habitual impassivity. Beplacing
his goggles, lie lowered his cap over his
eyes, and folding his arms sat looking
imperturbably ahead down (lie long road ,
a motionless leather-encased figure sug
gestive of motor cars and naught beside.
This attitude was not conducive to fur
ther confidences, but Annette Bancroft nt I
twenty-one had all the instincts of a born 1
biographer, and when once on the scent I
of possible romance was not to be turned
aside.
"I suppose," slip hazarded nt last, join
ing rhe loose ends of his unfinished story,
"that after you left the army you took
this up?"
Her companion hesitated, twisting his
long, brigand-like mustaches.
"Well, not immediately," he responded
guardedly, still speaking in French. "I
got down here by degrees; that is the
way it generally happens. Let me see
I started by tutoring a bit in Switzer
land: the boy had consumption and died
in less than a year. After that one took
up what came easiest. The transitions
do not amount to much, but" he laughed
suddenly, a frank, gay. wonderfully light
hearted laugh "in the course of my
checkered earepr I have been respectively
guide, courier, croupier, and even cabman
on occasions, besides otnciating as motor
pilot for various racy individuals not, of
course, including His Highness the Prince
del Pino."
He paused with a faint shrug of the
shoulders.
For an instant the girl gazed at hin.
with eyes lhat were unnaturally dilated.
How interesting! she murmured at
last, inadequately.
The chauffeur made a slight bow.
"Bouen already !" he ejaculated, dis
missing the subject and glancing around,
then relapsing into his careful, conscien
tious English.
See you our auberge at the end oi
that little street? How have we made
the run?" He pulled out his watch.
Good! Seventy kilometres in as many
minutes.
Whiz ! buzz ! sang the motor, its
breath expiring like a wounded sky-rocket
as it drew up in front of a red brick
Normanesque facade.
"Sarto!" called Mrs. Waring peremp
torily. She stood, minus her dust-cloak and
goggles, a dazzling tailor-made vision
with a big bunch of violets at her waist,
smiling with unwonted graciousness to
the chauffeur, who hastened to do her bid-

Mixed IlreecIIiiK.
In mixed breeding, or cross breed
leg, nothing is accomplished beyond
the first cross, says a Colorado veter
inary bulletin. While a few good in
dividuals may lie secured, the tend
ency is for (he progeny to be below
ratner iinin nnove tne average. A man
conducting his breeding in a haphaz
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, groping in the dark following
wiii-o -die wis). in a Hundred years
he would bo just where he started. In
cidentally this is Just what we have
been doing in this country from the
beginning, and the reason why we
have so few pure breeds of live stock
and are, after ail this time, sensing
our good money across the water for
pure-bred sires which we should pro-
luce at home.
After animals have been graded up
to a practical purity of blood, the
longer they are bred along this line
the more prepotent they become, and
the more certain that the offspring
will uniformly possess general excel
lence of form, quality, action and
utility.
The same Is, of course, true of all
live stock. The only certain method
of raising the average standard of ex
cellence is by persistent breeding to
sires of the same breed until the na
tive blood Is obliterated and the pro
geny uniformly possesses all those de
sirable qualities of the pure breed employed.

There nre customs which are rigid

sown on wheat land In the spring, the
seed being scattered over the ground
when it is covered with snow in order
to facilitate the work. One of the
rigid rules is to sow a certain quantity
of seed (as little as possible if seed is
high), and should the stand be light
