Because, came the answer, Abd-el-Kader, the patriot of Algerian independence, had been captured and the subjection of the country had followed. Since Algeria had become a French colony, where could Saint-Prosper have found a safer asylum than in America? Where more secure from "that chosen curse" for the man who owes his weal to his country's woe?
"Yes; ten years older than Ernest Saint-Prosper, he had already made a career for himself. How eagerly, then, must the younger brother have looked forward to meeting him; to serving with one who, in his young eyes, was all that was brave and noble! What a bitter awakening from the dream! It is not those we hate who can injure us most only those we love can stab us so deeply!"
After they captured the prophet, I deserted the desert. So, hey for Mexico, a hilly place for a rolling stone!" He gasped, held his hand to his shoulder and brought it away covered with red. But that Saint-Prosper knelt swiftly, sustaining and supporting him, he would have slid to the ground.
I thought you were in Africa, colonizing us!" "It was impossible to stay there long," replied Saint-Prosper, slowly. "There's that cloud of smoke again," muttered the wounded man, apparently oblivious to the other's response. As he spoke he withdrew his hand from that of his brother. At that moment the tropic sun was bathing him in its light and the white walls shone with luster.
"It is strange she did not tell me about it," remarked the manager, without endeavoring to conceal the anxiety this unexpected information afforded him. "She does not know he is here." And Saint-Prosper briefly related the circumstances of his meeting with the land baron, to which the manager listened attentively. "And so she must be dragged into it?" exclaimed Barnes at length, resentfully.
And at once prepared a simple remedy which soon silenced the babbling lips in slumber, after which she sent for the doctor. "Adjutant, tell Colonel Saint-Prosper I wish to see him." The adjutant saluted and turned on his heel, while General Scott bent over the papers before him, studying a number of rough pencil tracings.
"You look as though you were talking together very seriously?" she added, turning to Saint-Prosper. "Nothing of consequence, Miss Carew!" he replied, flushing beneath her clear eyes. "Only about some scenery!" interposed the manager, so hastily that she glanced, slightly surprised, from the one to the other. "Some sets that are " I only wanted to ask you about this costume.
"General Scott has granted your request in view of certain circumstances, and you will be shot, instead of hanged." The face of the prisoner lighted wonderfully. He drew himself erect and smiled with some of the assumption of the old insolence, that expression Saint-Prosper so well remembered!
Grazing contentedly near the porch was his horse and Saint-Prosper's hand now rested on the bridle. "I can't tell how long I was unconscious," said the seemingly hysterical young woman, "but I hurried here as soon as I recovered myself." "Where did it occur? Down the road you came?" "Ye-es." Saint-Prosper vaulted into the saddle. "Tell the manager to see a magistrate," he said.
But it seems to me I did know of a Saint-Prosper at the military college at Saumur; or was it at the Ecole d'application d'état-major? Demmed scapegrace, if I am not mistaken; sent to Algiers; must be the same. A hell-rake hole! full of German and French outcasts! Knaves, adventureres, ready for plunder and loot!"
