She had never heard sounds Just like that The dogs of the village were great wolflike creatures. bark waa angello compared with theirs. He crossed the charmed circle drawn around her house, and did not fall dead, and stood before her, whining. Fatou Annl left her corn, stood upright and looked at Pltchoune. To her the Irish terrier waa an apparition. The fact that he had not fallen dead proved that he was beloved of Allah. He was, perhaps, a genie, an afrit. Pltchoune fawned at her feet. She murmured a line of the Koran. It did not aeem to affect ble demonstrative affection. The woman bent down to him after making a pasa against the Evil Eye, and touched him,' and Pltchoune licked her hand. Fatou Annl screamed, dropped him, went into the house and made her ablutions. When she came out Pltchoune sat- - patiently before the parched corn, and he again came crawling to her. . The Arabian woman lived In the last hut of the village. She could satisfy her curiosity without shocking her neighbors. She bent down to scrutinize Pltchounes collar. There was a sacred medal on It with sacred Inscriptions which ahe could not read. Out aa soon as she had freed him this time, Pltchoune tore himself away from her, flew out of the sacred ring and disappeared. The he ran back, barking appealingly; he took the hem of her dress In his mouth and pulled her. He repeatedly did this and the superstitious Arabian believed herself to be called divinely. She cautiously left the doorstep, her veil falling before her face, came out of the sacred ring, followed to the edge of the berry field. From there Pltchoune aped over the desert; when he stopped and looked back at her. - Fatou Annl did not follow, and he returned to renew his entreaties. When she tried to touch him he escaped, keeping at a safe distance. The village began to d 'a Pltchoune ran with ht nose to the ground. There were several trails for a dog to follow on that apparently untrodden page of desert history. Which on would he choose? Without a scent a dog doea nothing. Hla nos-tril- a are hla instinct.

If Pltchoune had chosen (he wrong direction, this story would sever have been written. Mlchette did not give birth to the sixth puppy, In the stables of the garrison, for nothing. Nor bad Sabron saved him on the night of the memorable dinner for nothing. With bis nose flat to the sands Pltchoune smelt to east and to west, to north and south, took a scent to the east, decided on It for what reason will never be told and followed It. Fatigue and hunger were forgotten as hour after hour Pltchoune ran across the Sahara. Mercifully, the un had been clouded by the precursor of a windstorm. The air was almost cool. Mercifully, the wind did not arise until the little terrier had pursued hla course to the end. .There are occasions when an animal's Intelligence surpasses the human. When, toward evening of the twelve hours that It had taken him to reach a certain point, he came to a settlement of mud huts cn the bor-der-a of an oasis, he was pretty nearly at the end of his strength. The oasla was the only sign of life in five hundred miles. There was very little left small body. He lay down, pant4 ing, but hla bright spirit was unwilling Just then to leave hla form and hovered near him. In the religion of Tatman dogs alone have souls. Pltchoune panted aud dragged himself to a pool of water around which the green palms grew, and he drank and drank. Then the little desert wayfarer hid himself In the bushes and slept till morning. All night he was racked with convulsive twitches, but he slept snd In his dreams he killed a young chicken and ate It. In the morning he took a bath In the pool, and the sun rose while he swam In the water. If Sabron or Miss Redmond could have seen him he would have seem' 1 the epitome of heartless egoism.

The annual revenue which the Yucatan planters obtained from their alsal product ranged from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000.
