When was it that love diedf We were so food.
So very fond a little while ejfo.
With leaping pulse*, and blood all aglow.
We dreamed about a fairer life beyond.
When we should dwell together an one heart.
And acarco could wait that happy time toeooMh
Now side by side we sit, with Hps quite dumi*
And feel ourselves a thousand miles apart.
How was it that love died? 2 do not know
I only know that all its grate untold
Has fa»l«‘d into gray! I miss the gold
From our dull skies, but did not see it go.
Why should love die? We priaed It, I am sure;
We thought of nothing else when it was ours;
We cherished it in smiling sunlit bowers;
It was our all; why could it not endure?
Alas! we know not how, or when, or why
Tii is dear thing died. We only know it want*
And left us dull, cold and indifferent—
We v ho found heaven once in each other's sigh.
How pitiful it is, and yet how true.
That half the lovers in the world one day
Tytok questioning in each other's eyes this way
And know love's gone forever, as we dot
Sometime* I cannot help but think, dear heart.
As I look out o'er all the wide, sad earth
And see love's flame gone out on many a hearth.
That those who would keep love must dwell apart.

hare!”
j Hastily untwisting the veil from his
helmet he fashioned it into a light tur
ban, while tlie orderly, unrolling the
cantlo blanket, improvised a side saddle
by twisting it about the pommel.
“I fear we are making a soldier of
yon too fast.” Latour said. "But there
is no shade nearer than the Tombs, and
t this is the best, liat we can offer."
He lifted her to the saddle, with a faint
| smile for thanks, os Ahmed poured some
’ cognac from a very Parisian flask, dihri-
| 'ng it with water from the orderly’s
; canteen. Hot as the mixture was Edith
drank the stimulant eagerly. Then she
turned to Latour. saying low, in English:
“I owe you more than lifo! But it is
very sweet to owe everything to you!
How did you know?"
‘*1 did not know, oufy guessed,” he
answered simply. “Those Arabs last
night, Harris’ riderless horse— Oh! cap
tain,” he interrupted himself, “send two
men to scout the Shonbra ro:ul and notify
| Lord Martiudale."
“And Harris,” Editli asked in French;
! “is he safe?”
j Ahmed answered that he had sent him
! to Cairo behind a trooper, exhausted, but
' not hurt.
“Poor fellow! he fought desperately
for me,” she added. "He knocked down
the Arab who seized my bridle, and an
other. before they struck him from his
horse with a lance butt! Oh, how much
my rashness has risked for yon all!”
They were galloping toward the
i Tombs, one of the officers on either hand
of the lady.
"It was a bold play for ransom, Ah
med,” Latour said, “to capture Lady
1 M:.rt:ndale in the very shadow of the
citadel. We shall have to teach these
■ Bedouins a lesson."
"Well, you began at the head,” Ah
med laughed. "It was a grand stoke,
colonel! How the black old sheitan
tumbled! But it was lucky I was out of
range. I might have killed him; then—
pouf! more war, and banishment for
me, to Fazougli!"
Latour smiled at his junior's indoree-
•'Pshaw! 1 am a weak boy!" he mut
tered. “The letter iUelf will explain
this and its detention by her. Some
cant, I warrant, to explain his cowardly

The Creole marched over to his own
quarters and promptly swallowed a
heavy draught of cognac. Fasting since
yesterday's dinner anxiety and exercise
made even his iron nerves sliaky enough
to need the unusual stimulant. Then a
hasty tub, a few brief orders for toe day.
and he threw himself upon his di tan.
The furnace heat of Egyptian high
noon poured down without, but within
the windows closed at dawn retained
| the coolness of the night air. Only faint
j sounds crept in from street or court be-
I low, mingling soothingly with the bub
bling of Latour's water pipe. Boon its
| tube slipped from his fingers, aud he
| slept heavily and dreamlesgly.
It was near sunset when he swoke
from long, refreshing sleep. Then he
dined hastily and walked to the hotel.
“Her ladyship is mnch better,” Lord
Martindale replied to his anxious query.
“Sir Roger said it was nervovn ex
haustion—heat and excitement, you
know. Deuced glad you came, though.
The consul general is very urgent for
me to come and give him details of the
capture: and 1 must keep the tiling out
of the paper*, really.”
“I have nothing to do, and wiH stay
here gladly,” Latour answered qnietly.
But his heart beat faster, and his Ups
almost formed the words that rushed to
them as the other turned away:
“Poor devil! He loves her, too!”
"Shan't be gone long,” Lord Martin
dale said at the door. Then he turned
suddenly, adding. “By Jove! I almost
forgot this, really!" He drew a letter
from his pocket and handed it to Latour
face upward. “The seal must have
broken with the fall. Devilish forgetful
in Lady Martindale, though. Unpar
donable, really! It was in that portfolio
I burst!"
IjOtour took the letter carelessly. Bat
as his eye caught the well known signet
the color left his face, and the other s
chance words of that noon echoed In his
brain and numbed his heart.
In hard, effortful voice he began.
I sbe must have bad. though! As for Har
ris,
"The ‘booby - acted like—a man!" Lady
Martindale said coldly, overhearing only
the last words, and Latour, awaking tc
sudden anxiety its to their condition,
strode off to the horses, leaving husband
and wife alone.
Lord Martindale did not greet his
spouse with much effusion. Au Ameri
can would have rushed upon her, and e
resounding kiss would have smacked on
the desert air. A Frenchman would
have clasped her to his breast, held her
off at arm's length and scattered tu and
toi profusely about the mined Tomlw.
Lord Martiudale loved Edith with an
idolatrous worship, but her eve' imperi
ous habit, with strange whims more ap
parent of later mouths, had forced him
to the defensive. And now ho only said,
as he pulled his damp whiskers:
Glad yon are safe, my lady, really!
its olive ashen
Then she stretched forth those gleam
ing, rounded anus, witli pitiful, despair
ing obsecration, her voice a wail for that
hope her own hands had slain.
“Adrien, all my sin—God
was through my mad love!"
There was no passion in the man’s
I voice; it went to her soul, inexorable,
freezing.
“As a '»y I loved a true woman; how
j well 1 never knew before. Fool that I
was! I lost her and shamed myself! A
1 word from yoa had saved us then.
Knowing that yon rained three lives:
and one other you”
With a low cry the woman sank upon
her knees.
"Man! have you no pity? God may
forgive me, if you will!”
The same dull voice answered her cry:
“I am not your judge. As you have
sinned, what have I not done? But nev
er, in this world, will I look upon yonr
face again!"
Ho had passed from the room; the
woman still kneeling, with the dead
hope frozen in her face.

A hot flush mounted to the woman’s
face. Her eyes quickly assured her that
Latour was out of earshot; and the I
gleam in them grew cold as the ring in
her voice that answered:
“It becomes the delicacy of the seven
teenth Lord Martiudale to greet his
wife with a reproach, after leaving it to
strangers to rescue her from deadly
Tie peril."
“Deadly stuff!" responded his lord-
thip. with more candor than courtesy.
“Y'on've upset the garrisou and made a
nasty mess, you know. But where
•peril' comes in, I can't see. really!"
'Of conree not; you rarely do see!’
the woman rejoined slowly. “But it
was natural that there should be peril,
and equally natural that you—should
avoid it!"
The Englishman's red fhee grew scarlet
at the nnjust taunt; but he controlled
himself by astrong effort as he answered:
“Edith! Yon know you do not mean’’—
“Precisely what I say.” she interrupted
rescued by Adrien.

“1 am charmed that you agree with

raised her voice, calling quietly and
cheerfully, “Lord Martindale thinks we
should not detain you longer, and I am
quite rested now."
The Englishman spoke no word. He
lifted his wife courtixrasly, even tender
ly, to the improvised saddle. To Latour’s
query abont his side of the quest, the
peer replied:
“Struck the Shonbra road and could
see no living thing; headed north again,

“I meant to ask if. while in Paris, you
saw much of But I will not detain
you now."
Though stunned by a sndden doubt of
her his chivalrous sense dominated him.
He refused to arraign, even In his own
mind, the helpless, suffering woman
there, who had yielded so much for love
of him.
Lori Martindale stared, then left the
room without reply. Latour stood per
fectly still, looking closely at the seal.
Then he turned the letter over and read
the address, “For CoL Adrien Latonr-
Bey. Army of the Kltcdive,Cairo, Egypt,"
and, in the corner, “Courtesy of Lady 1
Martindale.”
There could be no error. The letter
was for him; directed in the clear, firm
writing of Dale Everett!
A gaspyig breath escaped his bps.
Through his mind flashed the fact that
she had been two weeks in Egypt—ten
days of them constantly with him. Over
his face doubt, wonderment and pain
chased one another and in his tars
sounded clear her words at Sultan Ber-
gook’s tomb, “Vo; he never mentioned
yonr name!"
And ever as their echo came her hus
band's words at noon, “After one of our
opera suppers with Gen. Everett"
Then he turned the letter over. The
seal—their class ring at West Point—
was not broken, as the other man had
said. It was perfect every line of the
signet dear, even the edges of the wax
unsplintered.
But the letter was opened! Some
sharpest instrument had passed beneath
the seal! And again the man’s eyes—
contempt struggling with wosulermeot
in them—sought the doorway of the
next room. Yet agaia hiu nobler nature,
his lifelong trust that “good bleed can
not lie,” besides hie tenderness for toe
womim who loved him so sinfully but so
well, nluadad for her.

that noise I heard early in the

P. P. P. Saves Life.
A prominent Savanna hian,
formerly superintendent of a
railroad, says; “I was crippled
in my feet and arms so that 1
could not walk without crutch
es, nor eat without having a
servant to feed me. I tried phy
. sicians everywhere, but to no
purpose, and finally went to
New York, where my doctors,
at one time, decided to ampu
tate my arm, but found that
course impracticable, on account
of a wound I had received dur
ing the war. I returned to Sa
vannah a complete wreck, and
my case seemingly hopeless. As
a forlorn hope I began to take j
P. P. P., and am rejoiced to say l
that after usirg three bottles,
my limbs began to straighten
out, and my appetite and health
soon returned, and I now feel;
like a new man; really, as if I
had been made over again, and
as if I could live forever—so
