Show A Warrior Monk. Probably the most notable of neophytes was the Vicumte Guy de Brissac, one of the best kuowu and most popular of Paris ian clubmen. His achievements on the turf as the owner of a small but exceedingly exceed-ingly choice stable were only equaled by his successes iu the salons And boudoirs of the gay capital, and if ever there has been oue who has merited description as a spoiled child of fortune, Guy de Brissac was the man.

She rests beneath a snowy marble cross in the pretty little cemetery that nestles among the pine trees at Arcachon, aud to day her lover, the pleasure seeking, skeptical skep-tical and worldly Guy de Brissac, who had disappeared from all his accustomed haunts since her death, turns up at Biskra, on the borders of the great desert, in the guise of the newly consecrated Warrior Monks of the Sahara.
