How dare you speak of him as a coward , . .” “I speak of him as a murderer,” the young man corrected. “And I demand justice against him.” “You demand it, do you? My God/ what next?” “I have informed you, monsieur, that a duel—so-called—has been fought, and a man killed. It seems that I must remind you, the adminis trator of the King’s justice, that duels are against the law, and that it is your duty to hold an inquiry.” The‘door behind Andre-Louis open ed softly. M. de Lesdiguieres, pale with anger, contained himself with difficulty.’ “You seek to compel us, do you, you impudent ra'scal?” he .growled. “But I give you a last warning, mas ter lawyer; keep a closer guard over that insolent tongue of yours, or you will have cause very bitterly to re gret its glibness.” He waved a jewel ed, contemptuous hand. “To the door!” CHAPTER VI. It was on a horse hired from Breton Arms that Andre-Louis out next morning; and £ an hour’s! brisk ride brought him to the city of ■ Rennes. He rode into the upper and prin-' cipal part of that important city of j some thirty thousand souls and came; at last to the Place Royale, where he 1 found the crowd to be most dense. I From the plinth of the equestrian sta tue of Louis XV. a white-faced young .man was excitedly addressing the multitude. His youth and dress pro claimed the student, and a group of: his fellows acting as a guard of honor to him kept the immediate precincts of the statue. Over tho heads of the crowd Andre- Louis caught a few of the phrases flung forth by that eager voice. “It was the promise of the King . . . It is the King’s authority they i flout , . . They mogate to them selves the whole sovereignty in Drit- 1any. Tho King has dissolved them .... These insolent nobles defying their sovereign and the people . .

There remained the wind itself—the whii’lwind. And the events in Rennes, reflex of the graver events in Nantes, had set that wind blowing in his favor. He set out briskly to retrace his steps toward the Place Royale, where the gathering of the populace was % the Palais! Down with the set informed him. This popular display of temper was most opportune to his need, he thought/ He put up his hired horse at the Corne de Cerf, and set out to the Palais de Justice. That the King's lieutenant conde scended to see him at all was probably due to the grave complexion of the hour. At last he was ushered into a fine, well-lighted room furnished with enough gilt and satin to have sup- ^plied the boudoir of a lady of fashion. ' * It was a trivial setting for a King’s Lieutenant, but about the King’s Lieutenant there was—at least to ordinary eyes—nothing trivial. At the far end of the chamber, before a goat-legged writing-table with Wat teau panels, sat that exalted being.

No home can have teal ctevm, distinction or beauty without a har monious and appealing use of c^lor. The color plans of a home are fully aa important as tho architectujyil or furnishing plans. " In a rented house one usually has to make continual compromises tyith eolor, The exterior’ painting schfciho is seldom interesting or fridivictatfl, and often even ugly and rnlmrhion- ious. Tho interior walls and- \yppd- work are never quite the right W'k- ground for a new furnishing plan or old furnishings. Consequently one has to make the best of a' misfit I One of the great advantages in building or owning your own home .lies in tho opportunity offered for l^Ior schemes which are individual har monious and basically right. How many women would, exchange tlie alluring individuality offered by the women’s styles for the deadly uni- formity of men’s attite? A ^11 dressed woman knows that certain colors and types of wearing aflparel are more characteristic of her own personal type than others*, and conse-'’ quently pre more flatterili^ and dis tinctive. CHOICE OF TfNTS. The majority of house ^xteriors suffer either from deadly uniformity • or from an unsuitable or unflattering color scheme. To-day the9 chemical composition of paints and stains has reached such a high stage of perfec tion that one veritably had teb .entire" rainbow to choose from, and there is no practical or artistic reason, for the limitation of exterior painting schemes to a few stereotyped colors or combinations. The colonial type of architecture lends itself to a far wider tenge of colors than the conventional white, buff and yellow. Citfe-’au.-lait is an excellent body color for a large Col onial house. A small Colonial house painted gray-blue, set amid green fol iage, is indeed a delight to the eye. The cafe-au-lait house may have ivory and green trim and a rusSet-purple roof; the gray-blue house; may have a sage green roof and terra-cotta trim. , Stucco is closely associated .with Spanish, Italian and French provin cial architecture, which is essentially colorful. Stucco was never intended to be used in its gray-white state. Grays, buffs and yellows seem to be the inevitable choice' for coloring stucco houses when they are not left uncolored, and the many delightful^ color possibilities which stucco offers ■are quite generally neglected. Pis- tache green, tawney, amber, gray lavender andjltalian blue present very pleasing and suitable substitutes. CORRECT BACKGROUND. The color of the walls and wood work of a room provide the back ground or “setting” for the furnish ings. If the background is not right, no matter how well selected or how good in quality the furnishings may be, they will never show to advantage^ Colors also have a decided influence on temperament, and the colors of our home surroundings can never Ire too carefully planned.

The usefulness of the Boy Scout movement and the service it can do toward the building up of national solidarity was emphasized by Sir Les lie Wilson, the Governor and Chief Scout q£ Bombay Presidency, in his speech opening the Municipal Boy Scouts Camp at Ghatkopar, The Governor observed that the recruit ment of boys under the banner of the Scouts would, more than any other movement, tend to give the youth a correct understanding of the ideals of citizenship, No province in <India has perhaps shown a -clearer realization of the significance and importance of this statement than Bombay. Ever since its Inauguration in India the Boy Scout movement has been making remark able progress, -so that to-day there are nearly 25,000 Scouts and Cubs all over the country. Among them there is no difference’of race, caste, or creed, and it is to this feature of' the great movement that tho Government look forward for help in solving communal- ism, one of India’s very knotty prob lems. The number of Scouts and Cubs in Bombay is over 5000. up on to the plinth. Alarmed now*, for he could only suppose it to be Andre-Louis’ intention to speak on be half of Privilege, Le Chapelier clutch ed him by the legs to pull him down again. “Ah, that, no!” he was shouting, “Come down, you fool. Come down!” Andre-Louis maintaining his posi tion by clutching one of the legs of the bronze horse, flung his voice like a bugle-note over the heads of that seething mob. “Citizens of Rennes, the mother land is in danger!” The effect was electric. A stir ran, like a ripple over water, across that froth of upturned human faces, and completest silence followed. f “Shuddering in horror of the vile deed here perpetrated, my voice de mands to be heard by you. You have seen murder done under your eyes— the murder of one who nobly, without any thought of self, gave voice to the Wrongs by which we are all oppress ed. Fearing that voice, shunning the truth as foul things shun the light, our oppressors sent their agents to silence him in death.” Le Chapelier released at last his hold of Andre-Louis’ ankle, staring up at him the while in sheer amaze ment. What had come to him? “Of assassins what shall you look for but assassination? I have a tale to tell which will show that this is no new thing that you have witness ed here to-day; it will reveal to you the forces with which you have to deal.

The trout begins to play in the brooks, and the salmon leaves the sea to play in the fresh waters. The gar den-banks are full of gay flowers1, and the thorn and the plum send forth their fair blossoms. The March colt begins to play, and the cosset lamb is learned to butt. The poets now make their studies in the wood's, and the youth of the country make ready for the morris-dance. The little fishes lie nibbling at a bait, and the por poise plays in the pride of the tide. The shepherd’s pipe entertains the Princess of Arcadia, and the health ful soldier hath a pleasant march. The lark and the lamb look up at the sun, and the laborer is abroad by the dawning of the day. ... It were a world, to set down the worth of this month, but in sum,’I thus conclude:!

There were cries “To Down with the assassins! the nobles!” An artisan who stood shoulder with him in the press en lightened Andre-Louis on the score of the increased excitement. “They’ve shot him dead. His body is lying there where it fell at the foot of the statue. And there was an other student killed not an hour ago by the cathedral works. Pardi! If they can’t prevail in one way they’ll prevail in another.” Andre-Louis’ left him still talking, and clove a way through that human press. At the statue’s base he came upon a little cluster of students about the body of the murdered lad, all stricken with fear and helplessness, “You here, Moreau!” said a voice, He looked round to find himself confronted by Le Chapelier, a lawyer of Rennes, a prominent member of the Literary Chamber of that city. “Ah, it is you, Chapelier! Why don’t you tell them what to do? Up with you man!” And he pointed to the plinth. Le Chapelier's dark restless eyes searched the other’s impassive face for some trace of irony ho suspected. “Your notions and mine on that score can hardly coincide,” said he. Andre-Louis looked at him with out -surprise. How should Le Chap- elior suspect his present intentions? “If you won’t tell them what is to be dope, I will/’ he said. “Norn de Dleu!

Not long ago the pastor of our little country church preached a ser mon on the theme, “Whither are we going?” And in the course, of it he told a significant story. It seems that >a traveller was in vestigating'ti stono quarry where tho workers were busy in long under ground corridors. Beside, one "laborer he paused and, after watching him a minute, said, “What are yep doing?” Ridiculous question! The laborer did ’ not even bother to turn his head as he made the obvious answer, “Cut ting stone.” A little fartner along, the visitor stopped by another work er and put the. same question, “WW are you doing?” This time tho cut ter turned his head with a jerk, but ho did not look up as ho replied em phatically, “Earning five* dollars a ... day.” Still farther, well in the dark, remote from the outer world* a third toiler was smiting tho rock, .and to him the traveller repeated his foolish query, “What are you doing?” This answer, however, was .different from either of the others. Turning and looking up with an exultant lift of his head, the laborer replied, “Build ing a cathedral.” That is a beautiful story.-—Zephine in “Wlnte^wise.” si %&y
