"Don't much like It," replied Otho Belleme, but I auppoie we've got to obey orders. Hint ot treach ery about It, Isn't there?" "War la war, my child," observed Tant da Bolt. "There has been a state ot war between this country and Franca for years, It Is noto rious that this Kald has raided French territory, beselged If not captured Frenoh poata, captured French convoys, cut oft and anni hilated relief columns." "H'm. All's fair In love and war, ehr "And anppos It doesn't come ott!" observed Joe Mummery. "Ao oordlnt to VtttorelU, tbe Major baa wangled us In here to seise the Citadel for Franc. But what price us. If they do the selling and sella na for the KaldT" "Us fer the 'ooks," observed Bailor Harris teraely, "Ar, that', right," agreed Wil liam Boasnm. "If the Kite lets ua com 'ere, ' knows enough to look after himself, don't be? What's the odds against us In this castle alone? Not to mention that lot we marched through, eomln' In. Armies ot 'em." "I suppose the Majol! wait un til he gets reinforcements," com mented Per Poussln. .. "I doubt It, my child," replied Tant da Solf. "He'll seize the castle, and then send for the reinforce ments In ease there's trouble In the slty as there will be." , ' "Why not get the reinforcements Brst and maka a aura job ot It?" objected the old soldier. "Because the Kald wouldn't let (hem come, my good camel, He'a not going to let a French army march In here, la he?" "No," agreed. Otho. "He'a not And the myster to me Is that he let us come." , "Mystery's right," agreed Joe Mummery. "It'a a rum go." "Well, duty's duty." said Tant de Bolt decisively, "and orders are or ders. It wa can selie this robbers' nest tor France, they'll give the ' tectlon le foufjeron." "What's that?" asked William Boasum. ' "The collective decoration given to a unit for valor," was ths reply. "And every man of us will wear a ahoulder-cord plaited In two colors. And yon take It with you, too. If 70a go to another company. Yes. we shall capture the castle, cover ourselves with glory and get the eord ot honor." "Get a cord ot some sort, I've no doubt," growled Sailor Harris. That evening a oeremonlal ban quat, halt Moorish, half European, waa given in honor of the dletln- gulebed visitor the French officer understood to be the representative of his great country, and ths head ot the mllltar) mission sent by France to the Kald. . At this feast ot welcome, which Margaret forced herself to attend, the effect ot the aour looks that aba received from her mother-in-law. El Isa Beth el Aln, from Zat nub and the girl Sara, should have been entirely counteracted by the definitely aweet ones ot the guest of honor. . ' Apart from the fact that his waa a type that ahe did not admire. Margaret found him Interesting when he would cease from ful some florid compliment, and talk on the matters, or rather matter, that apparently obsessed him the subject ot himself and hla career. Aa all roada lead to Rome, so alUtoplca, however apparently un promising and alien to the theme, led to the oareer ot Major Rlocoll. past, present and future. When at length, the banquet finished, the other ladles retired, Margaret rose, and remarking that ah waa going tor her evening stroll on the battlements, left the lampllt garden, soon to dlscovor that she had been followed by Ma jor RIccolL - "May I walk with you. Mademot eelleT" ha asked aa he overtook ber. "Snch an oasis In the desert ot my life. It Is bard to b a soldier and to lov beauty. To know the love ot beauty and the beauty ot love." Margaret, untruthfully stating that tbe pleasure would be entirely hers, led the gallant and ardent officer to ber favorite and private spot upon the battlements, and to the subject of France, Bordeaux and the remarkable son ot that city. Monsieur Aurellle de Tounens who became Klnt, ot Arauco. Then Indeed were the flood-gates opened, and what hsd been a bab bling brook that had reminded Margaret of "Men may come and men may go but I go on for ever" became a torrent In full spate. After tbe uttering of that name, Margaret had no need ot further speech, nor any slight anxiety aa to Major RIccoll s attitude and conduct. While that subject occupied hla mind, no room was left for thoughts of love or love-making. "Ah, that waa a man indeed," ha mused. "But mad, you know, mad. A megalomaniac. Through his own ambitious schemes he fell like Van rol again If h did fall and is not at this very moment a great ruler In hla own right, a king, an emperor, in the great and unex plored Interior of this mighty and marvellous continent" "And who was Monsieur Vaurol?" asked Margaret anxious to keep tbe mind ot this amorously enter prising officer to the one subject that n,e Judged to be more powerful in. Interest than even love. "Vaurol? You know not ot the brave Captain Vaurol, and his bid for power and wealth and tame? No, being English, I suppose yon would not have heard of him. The military authorities, whom he de fled, defeated and outwitted, did not exactly advertise bis name to tbe world. "Ah I that was a man such an other aa Aurellle de Tounens ot whom you have Just spoken; such another as Voulet and Chanolne, but sot so mad. "Vaurol I A simple captain ot artillery, and now perhaps an em peror. But aa to the truth of that no man knows. No European, that la to aay, although the mili tary authorities and the French government pretend to know. No European know tor oertaln, but It la my oplalon and believe me. Mademoiselle, my opinion la worth having that millions upon millions of Africans know; ArabB, Negroes, Touareg, and, possibly races of whom we have heard nothing. "Otherwise, tell me this. Why la there to this day throughout the Southern Sahara, a persistent and widely prevalent rumor ot a White Shelkb? Yes, ot a Great White Sheikh whose orders all men obey, and whom they fear and reverence as the Senussl fear and reverence their great religious and political loader, the Sheikh el Senussl him self. "What did Vaurol do? I'll tell you. Mademoiselle. "Finding himself stuck In the desert burled alive, forgotten, neg lected, lost In a wretched hole called Mescherla, he determined to carve out a career for blmselt. Why should he, a man ot courage, abil ity, brains and ambition, be doomed to rot In Mescherla, while in Paris, guttersnipe politicians made them selves figures ot International Im portance, masters ot Europe and made generals of their worthless military proteges, panders and toadies? "Why should he? A man mentally as great aa they, and Indeed tar greater. Why should he consent to grow grey In obscurity, poverty and misery while these dogs carved out careers tor themselves? "He would not consent to It "Since no brilliant career to fame and power lay open to htm, he would carve out one tor him self. "Skilfully and ounnlngly he opened negotiations with a great Arab sheikh, paramount ruler of the Benl-Amama and allied tribes and when hla plans were made and the time waa ripe, he departed from Mescherla with the whole of his battery complete and entire, gmis. Umbers, ammunition-column, men, horses, mules and camels. He was, ot course, received with open arma by the Arabs, who led him deep Into the desert where per haps no white man had ever been before. "Deep and ever deeper Into the desert, until they came to the capi tal ot Benl-Amama, a native city which aa the French military au thorities afterwards discovered to their coat he turned Into a great fortress, a real citadel, (CmU.
