THE WHISTLE
The oath, taken as he held in his
^be body of his dearest friend,
Philippe De Vilmorin, sent
Andre-Louis Moreau, young lawyer
or Gavrillac, to Rennes and thence to
Nantes where his fervish speeches
roused to action the citizens who
were chafing under the oppression of
the nobility. Phillipe has been trick
ed into a duel and brutally murdered
because the great
■Mkyquis de La Tour D’Azyr feared
the dangerous gift of eloquence”
Which the idealistic divinity student
possessed. Andre-Louis swore to
carry on the cause of his friend and
revenge himself on the Marquis for
Philippe’s death and because the
profligate noble had sued for the hand
of the beautiful
Aline De Kercadiou, niece of the
gruff
Lord of Gavrillac, who was popu
larly believed to be the father of
Andre-Louis.
Returning from Nantes, Andre-
Louis is met on the outskirts of Gav
rillac by Aline, who warns him that
Soldiers are waiting in the town to
arrest him for sedition. He flees and
takes refuge in a barn where he is
awakened by the voices of two lovers,
Climene and Leandre, who are panic-
Btricken at the impending discovery
by the girl’s father.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
“Calm, mademoiselle, calm!'* the
subtle friend was urging Climene.
“Keep calm and trust to me. I prom
ise you that all shall be well.”
“Oh!” cried M. Leandre, limply.
“Say that you will, my friend, this is
ruin—the end of all our hopes. Your
wits will never extricate us from this.
Never!”
Through the gap strode now an
enormous man with an inflamed moon
face and a great nose, decently dress
ed, after the fashion of a solid bour
geois. There was no mistaking his
bnger, but the expression that it
found was an amazement to Andre-
Louis.
“Leandre, you’re an imbecile!
Your words wouldn’t convince a
ploughboy!”
He checked abruptly, startled.

“Hark!” he cried, “the very gods
laugh at you, Leandre.” Then he1
addressed the roof of the barn and
its invisible tenant. “Hi! You there!”
Andre-Louis revealed himself by a
further protrusion of his tousled head.
“Good-morning,” said he, pleasant

“Precisely the same thing that you

Billy leaned back In the old carriage
seat, and surveyed the ground below
him. A hen led her brood of ohioks bo-
neath his lofty seat,’and s'ora.tched In
dustriously in the soft earth around»
the roots of Die willow tree. The car
riage seat, fastened in the- forks of Hie
‘ tree', creaked as Billy moved, and the
hen moved away hurriedly, with ono
, eye on the tree as she clunked and
; called to the family that trailed along
behind her.
It was great, up there In the willow
tree, Billy decided, as he decided every
day all summer long, up there in the
willow tree in the exact centre of the
great round bowl of the &ky, with the
rim of the horizon the same distance
away on every side. He closed his
eye®, and' the sound of the wind in.
leaves and grass' was like a level, whis>
poring plain of even sounds with the
bird calls rising in sharp peaks of
music, and the far-off lowing of cattle
like heaped-up, rounded hills of sound.
The gate clicked sharply, an upflung
jagged pinnacle, sudden and sharp.
Billy’s eyes flew open, and he sat bolt
upright.
Treasures Galore.
A man was coming up the short lane
from the front gate. The sunshine, Al
tering through the row of trees bor
dering the lane, doppled bls' black coat
with light and shadow. He was an
odd-looking man, with a great pack on
his back, and the dust of the road on
,pack and clothes. He swung his pack
down beside the kitchen door and re
moved his hat, and Billy saw the
gleam of earrings against the darkness
of his skin.
When Billy's mother opened the
door the stranger picked up his bur
den, and entered the house.
Billy slid down out of the tree, went
around back of the house, and through
the woodshed'. From the kitchen
came the sound of voices ; his mother’s
voice, appraising, quiet and even; the
voice of the stranger, quick and vol
uble. The boy went into the kitchen
and stood beside his mother. He
watched the peddler spread out his
wares; bright-colored cottons and
linens spread on the white-scoured top
of the kitchen table; strange trinkets
that glittered and shone; mirrors and
lace; bright-tinted combs, and hand
kerchiefs spread out on the kitchen
chairs. Billy’s eyes grew round as he
• looked upon the extent of the treasures
’ that came out of the pack, and he
' watched the glint of gold earrings and
) the shining of teeth as the stranger
j talked, and the quick flitting of hands
that brought out treasures endlessly.
Billy lifted himself on tiptoe, and.
gazed into the depths of. the pack.
The Real Treasure. "x
There was a whistle there in the
bottom of the pack, and such a whis
tle! bright and shining, and with a
cord all red and white and blue to go
around the neck. Billy gave his
mother’s apron a quick, imploring tug,
and pointed at the whistle. And then,
he had it in his -hands, with the loop
around his neck, and his mother's
hand was resting on his head, and' the
peddler was smiling with a network of
tiny wrinkles around his eyes, and a
great flashing of gold earrings. Billy
walked out through the woodshed,
and the murmur of voices flowed again
over his head, unheeded. With his
eyes on the whistle his feet carried
him straight back to the foot of the
willow tree.
Back in the old carriage seat when
the peddler came out of the house,
Billy watched him bow himself effu
sively out into the lane; watched him
go down the driveway under the trees,
with the sunshine dappling his dust
colored hat and his great pack;
watched him as he trudged away up
the sun-drenched road toward the next
farmhouse. Then his gaze went back
to the whistle in his hand. He turned
it over and over foi’ the hundredth
time. Over in the barn a hen cackleci
suddenly, a quick outburst of sound
that fluttered across the yard like an
unfurled pennant in a rush of wind.
Billy closed his eyes, put the whistle
to his lips, and blew! an entrancing,
slender shrillness that mounted
straight up like a slight shaft. He
opened his eyes and feasted them up
on the whistle, as lie turned it over
and over in his hands. The hen led
her brood back under the willow tree,
clucked reassuringly, scratched ex
pectantly in the black earth, and cast
a complacent eye over her tiny family.
