A Warrior Monk.

Harper’s Weekly. Probably the most notable of these neophvtes was the Vicomte Guy de Brissac, one of the best-known and most popular of Parisian clubmen. His achievements on the- turf as the owner of a small but exceedingly choice stable were only equalled by his successes in the salons and boudoirs of the gay capital; and if there ever has been one who has merited description as a spoiled child of fortune, Guy de Brissac. was the man. A year ago his fiancee, whom he worshiped, died of a rapid decline -that strange malady which seems to enhance and etherealize the beauty of its victims, and to illumine their eyes with a strange light. She rests beneath a snowy marble cross in the pretty little cemetery that nestles among the pine trees at Arcachon, and to-day the lover, the pleasure-seeking.sceptical and worldly Guy de Brissac. who had disappeared from 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.
