THE SON OF THE SHEIK The smell of the warm sitme on the Jelific river and the sweet, heavy and sickening odor that exhaled into the unspeakable heat of the desert air from the bunches of dead and scorched water reeds is with me yet: also. the sight of the -long stretch of dry mud bank, rising by shallow and barely perceptible degrees to the edge of the desert sands, nod thus disclosed by the shrinkage of the Jeliffe during the hot months. Hai Lcan remember just how those mud banks looked. 'They were very broad and very black -except where (they touched the desert, and there the sind had siftéd over them in light, transparent sprinklings- and in rmpidly drylug under the sun of the Sabara had cracked and warped into thow sands of tiny concave cakes that looked for all tho world like little saucers in which . Indian ink has beenmixed. (If you are an artist, as was 'Thevenot, you will the better understand this.) Then there was the reach of the desert ; that drew off on either hand, and that polled nway, ever so gently, toward the place where the hollow sky dropped out of gight behind the shimmering horizon, swelling grandly and gradually like some mighty breast, which, panting for breath in the horrible hent, had visen in a final gasp, and hind then, in the midst of it, sud- denly stiffened and become rigid, while on this colorless bosom of the desert, where nothing stirred but the waxing light in the morning and the waning fight in the night, Iny tumbled red and gray rocks, with thin drifts of sand in thelr rifts and crevices and gray-green cacti squatting or sprawling in their blue shadows And there was nothing more-nothing, noth ing, nothing-except the appalling heat and the maddening silence. And in the midst of it all-we. Now, \we broadly and generallyspeak- Ing, were the small right wing of General Pawtrot'a division of the African service; speaking less broadly and less generally, \we\ were the advance guard of said divis: fon, and speaking in the narrowest and most particular sense \we\ were the party of war correspondents, specials extras, urt its, otc., who were accompanying said ad- vance guard of said wing of suid army of nid service for reasons herein to be set forth, ' As the long, flat, black scow of the com- missarlat went crawling up the torpid river, with the advance guard straggling along upon the right, \we\ lay upon the deck under theshadow of the scow's awn ing and talked and drank kouscoussow. I forget now what had led up to it, but Ponscarine bad said that the Arabs were patriotic, when Bab Azzoun cut in and said something which 1 shall repent as soon as 1 have told you about Bub Azzoun himself. Briefly, then, Bab Azzoun had been born twenty-nine years before this time at Tlemcon, of Kabyle parents-his pupa was a wheilk-had been transplanted to France at the age of ten, and had flourished there in a truly remarkable manner. He bad graduated fifth from the Polytechnique; he had written books that had been \cour rounees par PAcademic;\ he had become naturalized, he had been prominent in politics-no one can cut a wide swath in Paris in anything without hitting against in politique; ho had occupled important po- sitions In two embassies; he was n diple mat of no mean qualities; he had lots of tnfluence; he dressed in faultless French fashion: he had owned Crusader; he had lost money on him; he had applied to the government for the office of \Souschef des buresux-Arabes dans POran,\ fn order to f recoup; he had obtained it; be had come on with \us and was now on this, his first visit to his fatherland since his tenth year, on bis way to his post. Voila Bab Azzoun. And when Ponscarine had spoken thus about the patriotism of the Arabs, Bab Azzoun made him answer, \The Arabs are pot sufficiently educated to be true pr triots.\ . \Babl\ said Santander, \a man does not require to be educated in order to be a patriot., And, indeed, the rudest nations have ever been the most devotedly patri- otic.\ \Yes said Bab Azzoun, \but it is a narrow and a very selfish patriotism.\ \I enn't see that,\ put in Ponsenrine. \A patriot is like an egg-he is either good or bad. 'There is no such thing as a 'good enough egg: there is no such thing as a 'good enough patriot,! if a min is one at nil, he is n perfect one.\ \I agree,\ answered Bab Azzoun; \yeb patriotism can be more or less narrow. isten and 1 will explain\-he raised him self from the deck on his elbow, and ges- tured with the amber mouthpiece of his chibonk. \In looking backward upon the gradual development of patriotism in the minds of men since the days when they first began to band together, you can see it piss through five very distinct stages. Patriotism, first, was but love of family- of parents and kindred, but then as the fnmily grows aud expands into the tribe, it, too-us. merely f large family-becomes the object of affection, of patriotic deve tion, 'This is the second stage-the stuge of the tribe, the clan, the gens; men call themselves of the Gothic tribe, of the Clan Chattan, of the Gens Fabianus. In the third stage, the tribe has sought protection behind the inclosure of walls. It is the 1 age of cities; patriotism is the devotion to the city. Men are Athenians ere Grecians, Romans ere Italians, Carthagin- fans ero Africans. In the next period pa- triotisin means affection for the state, for the county, for the province, and Burgun- dian, Norman and Fleming give freely of their breast blood for Burgundy, Norman- dy and Flanders, while we of today form the latest, but not the last, link of the lengthening chain by honoring, lovingand serving the country above all considera- tions, be they of tribe or town or tenure. Yet I do not believe this to be the last, the highest, the noblest form of patriotism. Mo,\ said Bnb Azzoun, \this development shall go on, ever expanding, ever mount fog, until, earried upon its topmost crest, we attrin to that height from which we car look down upon he world as our coun: try, humanity as our countrymen, and he shall be the best patriot who is the least patriotic.\ \Ab-b fichtre!\ exclaimed Santander lstlessly, throwing acusbion at Bab Az zoun's head, \va te couchar. It's too hot to theorize; you're either a great philoso- pher. Bab, or n large sized\ -he looken nt him over the rim of his glass before con- cluding-\idiot.\ But Bab Azzoun had gone on talking in. the meanwhile, and now finished with \aud so you must not blame me if; looking upon them\ (be meant the Arabs) \and theirs in this light, I find this African campaign a sorrybusiness for France to ba engaged in-a vast and powerful govern- ment terrorizing into submissfon a horde of half starved fanatics,\ he yawned, \ell of which is very bad-very bad-bah! give me some more kouscoussow.\ We were aroused by the sudden stop- piige of the scow. . fin, \ Of agar us bank, serambled together in a hollow square. A battalion of Cou- louglis, with baiks and bournous ri pptivg, scuttied by us at a gallop; and the Twenty- third Chasseurs d'Afrique in the front Hino halted at a \carry\ on the crestiof a sand / P vidge, which hid the horizon from sight; the still, hot nivr of the Sahara was sud- jus to our feét in an instant - Santander whipped out his ever ready sketch book and began blocking in the landscape and the position of the troops, while 'Thevenot snatched his note book and \stylograph.\ Of thescene which now gathered upon us I enn, in respect to time, place or vela tive succession of detail, remember noth- ing, only out of that dark chaos can I res- cuen few detached and fragmentary im- pressions-all the more vivid, neverthe less, from theirisolation, all the more dis- tluct from the gray blue of the background against which they trace theniselves. Instantly, somewhere disquiectingly near, an event, or rather a whirl of events that rushed and writhed themselves together into a quivering maze of dizzying complex ity, suddenly evolved and widened like the fierce, quick rending open of some vast reroll, and there were zigzag hurryings to and fro and n surging hbeavenward of a torrent of noises-noises of men ind noises of feet, noises of horses and noises of arms -noises that bustled fieroely upward above the brown mass and closed together in the desert air, blending or joining one with another, joining and separating, reuniting and dividing; noises that rattle; noises that clanked; noises that boomed or shrilled or thundered or quavered, and one well known noise that, at regular intervals, was dominant over all as of a mighty flood of planks and boards falling from some vast height upon the earth beneath. And then came sight of blue-gray tremulous curtains -but whether of smoke or dust I equld not say-tumbling and billowing, bellying out with the bot tempest breath of the batéle demon that raged within and whose outermast fringes were torn by serrated files of flashing steel and wavering ranks of red. 'And this was all ab first. | knew we bad been attacked: and that behind those.boil ing smoke billows, somewhere and some how, though exactly how and where I could not tell, men, infuriated into beasts, were grappling and straggling, each man, with every sinew on the strain, honestly striving to kill his fellow. . And now we were in the midst of a hol low square of our soldiery, yet how we came there I cannot recall, though l re- member-trivial enough as it was-that the water of the Jelific made my clothes heavy and clinging and uncomfortable- remember this, although a mortal fear sab upon me of being shot down by some of our own frenzied soldiers. And then came that awful rib cracking pressure, as from some outward, unseen cause. the square was thrown back upon fteelf, - The smell of sweat, of horses and men, the odor of the powder smoke, the blind» ing, suffocating, stupefyfag clouds of dust, the horrible fear-greater than all others- of being pushed down beneath those thow sands of trampling feet, the terrible pitch of excitement that sickens and weakens, the momentary consciousuess-vanishing as soon ns felt-that this was what men called \war and. that we were experience ing the stern reality of what we had so often read. © It was not Inspiring, nob thrilling; there was no romance, no poetry about it; there was nothing in it but the hideous jar, one against the other, of men drunk with the blood Inst that eighteen hundred years had not quenched, and all its so called sublim- ity and glory faded out of sight nt the magic of its real presence. , I looked at Bab Azzoun; he was stand: ing at the gunwale of thle scow-somehow we were back on the scow again-with an unloaded pistol in his hand. He was watching the battle on the bank. His nostrils quivered, and ho shifted his feet exactly like an excited thoroughbred. On a sudden a trooper of the Eleventh Cuiras- slers came spinning round and round out of the brown of battle, gulping up blood, and pitched, wheezing, face downward, into the soft coze where the river licked at same ns he blew his life breath in gasps into it, and raking it into gridiron pat terns as his quivering, blue fingers closed into fists, Instantly afterward came a mighty tush across the river beneath our very bows, Forty odd cuirassiers burst into if, fol lowed by eighty or a hundred Kabyles. 1 can recall just how the horse hoofs rattled on the saucer.like cakes of dry mud and flung them up in countless fragments be hind them. They were a fine sight, those Kabyles, with their fierce, red horses, their dazzling white bournous, their long, thin, murderous rifle barrels, thundering and splashing past, while from the whole mase of them, from under the shadow of every white haik, from every black bearded lip, was rolling their war ery, \Allah Allah} Allah?\ What long dormant recollections stirred in Bab Azzoun at this old battle shout: Ashe faced them now ls was no longer the cold, cynical boulevardier of the morn- ing. He looked as ho must have looked when he played-a sixteen-year-old boy- about the feet of the horses in his father's black tent. He saw the long lines of the dourrs of his native home; be-saw the camels and 'the caravan crawling toward the sunset; he saw the women grinding meal, he saw his (ather, the bearded sheik; he saw the Arab horsemen riding down to battle; he saw the palm broad spear points and the blue yataghans.\ He was no longer the Parisien, the \product of civilization,\ the \race problem.\ In an instant of time all the long years of culture and education were fis a garment stripped away.. Once more he stood and stepped the Kabyle, and with these recollections his long for- gotten native speech came rushing to his tongue, and in one long, shrill, exultant ery ho answered his countrymen in theit own language, \Allab-l-Allah Mohan med ressoul Allaht\ He passed me at a bound, leaped. from thescow upon the backof a riderless horse, and, miipgling with the band of the Ka- byles, sped out of sight. And that was the last E ever saw of Bak Azzoun.-Argonaut. K.J. UPSONS CENERAL AGIHEY, Over Woodward's Hardware Store LiFrs, FIRE Accident Insurance.
