There were, of course, jealousies and resentments. But these were readily swallowed when it was discovered that the lot of tho entire company was to be ma­ terially improved from the point of view of salaries. The one exception was Climene. Iler failure to bring to heel this in­ teresting young stranger had begot­ ten in her a malice which his per­ sistent ignoring of her had been steadily inflaming. She had remon­ strated with her father when the new partnership was first formed. She Qiqd lost her tepiper with him, and called him a fool, whereupon M. Bin- ffet—In Pantaloon’s best mahner—had j lost his temper in Ins turn and boxed l her ears. She piled it up to the ac- ! count of Scaramouche.

Margaret Ethel Gladstone, daughter ■ of a Scottish doctor and! ldnsman of the groat Liberal leader, brought l>5Sn all that he needed. She had a passion for public affairs not less intense than his own. She had the rare power of oombming this feeling with the gif^: of homemaking. She was not rich, as hae ,often been asserted; but she had a rpodest fortune, to the nee- eijsfty of bread-labor in the years that were given to laying the foundations ' of his later career. Mr. MacDonald declined to give his ' opinion of Mussolini, but declared that * at present there are two menaces to the world, one on the right and one on the left—Fascism and Bolshevism. , “They are both the same -thing,” he said, “except that Fascism wears a . black shirt and Bolshevism a red shirt. The difference between them is ' in the dye. ' Mr. MacDonald declared emphatic­ ally that until the Soviet Government curbs the activities of the Third In­ ternational against other Govern- • ments it can never be in friendly re- ■ lations with foreign Governments. He • added that Europe has not yet ac- • cepted the Russian Revolution, and that not until it does and treats Rus­ sia fairly can normal friendly rela­ tions with Russia be established. He criticized the pressure being brought on Russia for the payment of her debts on the basis “of 20 shillings to the pound,” and deplored' the discrim­ ination shown in this respect agaihst the Russian people. He thought that the Bolshevik danger in China was a mere bogie, and greatly exaggerated. “I think,,f he said, “we will have to make ourselves co-operators with the ; Chinese people rather than governing ! authorities in China. If a man ap­ proaches the Chinese question with a historical sense but no moral sense, he [ is a bad egg, If he approaches it with a moral sense but no historical sense, he is half of a fool. I am in favor of agreement with China. I api not in favor of fighting for a state of tilings which already is out .of date.

Dressed in the close-fitting suit of a bygone ago, all black, from flat velvet cap to rosetted shoes, his face whitened and a slight up-curled mus- ache glued to his upper lip, a small sword at his side and a guitar slung behind him, Scaramouche surveyed himself in a mirror, and was disposed to be sardonic—which was the proper mood for the part. He bowed to his reflection in the mirror. “Buffoon!” he apostrophised it. “At last you have found yourself.” Ten minutes later the three knocks sounded, and the curtains were drawn aside; Andre-Louis was assailed with nau­ sea in that dread moment. He at­ tempted to take a lightning mental' review of the first act'of this scenario! of which he was himself the author­ in-chief; but found his mind a com­ plete blank. His arm was clutched, and he was pulled violently toward the wings. He had a glimpse of Pan- ’ taloon’s grotesque face, its eyes blaz­ ing, and he caught a raucous growl: "Climene has spoken your cue three times already.” Before he realized it, he had been bundled on to the stage, and stood there foolishly, blinking in the glare of the footlights, with their tin re-j ectors. f ' ' j ___________ _____ __ wildered did he look that volley upon' Pipriac, drinking a very excellent 1 walk?” volley of laughter welcomed him from I bottle of Volnay.

There was nothing to be done with such a fel­ low. He was utterly without feeling. He was not a man -at all. Yet when she came forth again at the end of some five minutes, she found him still lingering at tho door. “Not gone yet?” she asked him, superciliously. “I was waiting for you, mademoi­ selle. You will be walking to the inn. If I might escort you ...” “But what gallantry! What con­ descension!” “It amuses you to be cruel,” said Shall we led wth her in the calls that sum­ moned them before the curtains. CHAPTER VI. It seemed to Andre-Louis in those days that he had found his real car­ eer, and not only was he beginning to like it, but actually to look forward to a career as actor-author that might indeed lead him in the end to that ! Mecca of all comedians, the Comedie ; Francaise. And there were other possibilities. From the writing of skeleton scenarios for improvisers, he might presently pass to writing plays of dialogue, plays in the proper sense of the word, after the manner of Chenier, Eglantine, and Beaumar­ chais. Now, dream though it was, he did not neglect the practical side of it. i “You realize,” he told M. Binet, | “that I have it in my power to make I your fortune for you.” j He and Binet were sitting alone to-, So utterly foolish and be-! gother in the parlor of the inn at ‘ Scaramouche. "“No matter.

Binet choked in the act of drink­ ing. The Thotre Fewdau was a sort of provincial Comedie Franoaise. “But why not Paris afid the Come­ die FranCafse?” wondered M. Binet, with sarcasm, when at last he got his breath. “That may come later,” says pudence. “Eh?

Last week, after a long conference with Premier Mussolini about build­ ing Bugatti automobiles in«an Italian factory, Signor Bugatti' revealed that he is also making a Bugatti boat—an all-steel “cigar,” 82 feet long, 10 feet in diameter, which he said will bo able to cross the Atlantic in two days.- It is designed1 to travel half-submerg­ ed.

Before the end of 1027, Signor Bugatti hopes to send his boat on its maiden voyage to the U.S. *The Cunard liner Mauretania, swiftest on the Atlantic, has attained a speed of 27 knots (about’31 m.p.h,).
