In the far dlatanee. beyond his range
of vision, a sudden sharp rattle of
artillery broke the silence. His eyes
flickered with a faint triumph. Sldl-
bel-Abbes had not been taken un
awares. Perhaps that daredevil Ger
man had arrived In time.
He laid a shaking hand on the quiet
breast The man still breathed. It
was like an answer— *n acceptance.
He opened the tunic with rapid skillful
Bugera. The roar o f battle was now
close at hand. It rolled toward the
narrow barrier o f rock ln a cloud of
rising dust, from which flashed an In
termittent lightning. Colonel Destlnn
paid no heed. H e bad traced the course
of his bullet It was lodged an inch
above the heart, but Its force had been
checked by an old tattered letter case,
which he tossed on one side. \A uh
strips o f his linen shirt be plugged the
ragged looking wound and bandaged
It. The whole thing was the work o f a
few minutes. Death swept down upon
them both, but this man was not to die
through him.
He had lifted the unconscious head
upon one arm; hts eyes passed for on
Instant to the tattered letter case and
rested there. It had fallen open.
Moved by he knew not what impulse
he touched It tremblingly. A few dried
anil faded rose leaves, a letter, yellow
with age, alnged and pierced by his
own bullet. Suddenly It grew very
still about him. The crash o f battle
seemed to have suuk behind a deaden
ing veil o f s ience. There was nothing
left In the world but this man aud him
self.
"Ulehard Farquhar!"
The name escaped him without hts
knowledge. The legionary groaned and
half turned, his unconscious hand
clutching Desttnn'a nrm, and a minute
later tils eyes opened. They looked at
each other steadily, aud Destlnn shrank
bock.
This was the expiation— the
puiilshmetit. There waa to be no curse
and no mercy, but the grim working
out o f a logical merciless law.
“ You know now, sir?"
The weak voice sounded loud ln hi*
ears— louder than the thunder of the
guns. He made a movement o f stunned
assent.
“ Yes; you arc Richard— Richard Far
quliur, my— ” He broke off. He was
looking In the eyes o f bis judge; he
awaited sentence.
Farquhar drew himself up with a
desperate effort.
"They're— they're coming on fast—
aren't they, sir? I haven't much time.
And I have a message— from my
mother— who Is waiting for you— In
Sldl-bel-Ahbes. She gave It me two
years ago. Can you hear me, sir?”
"Y es— yes.”
” 1 was to tell you— that night when
you left her—you won her. She has
waited for you.”
He dropped hack,
gasping, into Destinu's arms. “ Sir, I
thank God— that at the last I have
found you. I ulso have my message—
I understand— aud honor— aud pity
you."
Destlnn boweil his hend. A word of
release had lieen spoken. He was free.
The burden of years dropped from
him. He was gazing down into the

man closer, shielding him with a stern
tenderness.
“ I too— thank God. Richard.”
The cheering had grown louder.
Within a hundred yards of the rocks
