His relations with M. des Amis had meanwhile become of the friendliest, and he was now beginning to receive from him other pupils than mere be­ ginners. M. des Amis, a chivalrous, open-handed fellow, rewarded his zeal by increasing his wages to four louis a month. '®! of sedit’on, Andre-Louis Moreau flees .his native town of Gavrillac and hides his identity as a member of a band of strolling players in which he makes a great success in the char­ acter of S’caramouche.

Andre-Louis was in the gardens of the Palais Royal, the universal ren­ dezvous, on that Sunday morning in CHAPTER III, ferment of Paris which, dur­ ing the two following days, resembled an armed camp rather than a city, delayed the burial of Bertrand des Amis until the Wednesday of that eventful week. Andre-Louis succeed­ ed to the fencing-school in which he was himself so well established as an instructor. And so, one fine day in early Aug­ ust, he received a visit from Le Chapelier. “I have news for you, Andre, Your godfather is at Meudcn. There have been fresh disturbances in Brittany.” Not until Sunday was Andre-Louis able to satisfy a wish which the im­ patience of the intervening days had converted into -a yearning. Dressed with more than ordinary care, his head' elegantly coiffed—Andre-Louis mounted his hired carriage, and drove out to Meudon. It was into the presence of a peev­ ish and rather somnolent M. de Ker- cadiou”that Andre-Louis was ushered. He was unannounced, as had ever been the custom at Gavrillac. "What do you want here?” growled M. de Kercad-iouis-. "No more than to kiss your hand, monsieur my godfather,” said Andre- Louis, submissively, bowing his sleek black head. "You can’t. You’ll never males me understand how you came to render yourself so odiously notorious in Brit­ tany.” "Ah, not odiously, monsieur!” "Certainly, odiously. It is said even that you were Omnes Omnibus, though that I cannot, will not believe.” "Yet it is true.” M. de Kercadio.u choked. "And you confess it?

He beheld a slight young man with a pock-marked face leap to a table outside the. Cafe de Foy, a drawn sword in. his hand, crying, ‘To arms!” And then upon the silence of astonish- men that cry imposed, this young man poured a flood of inflammatory elo­ quence. Enthusiasm swept the crowd, a motley crowd made up of men and women of every class, from vagabond ’ to nobleman, from harlot to lady of fashion. '’Andre-Louis looked on, and grew afraid. This crowd, he felt, must be restrained. That hot-blooded , irre­ sponsible stutterer would have the town in a blaze by night, unless some­ thing were done. The yo-ung man, Camille Desmoulins, later to become famous, leapt down from his table still waving his. sword, still shouting, "To arms! Follow me!” Andre-Louis advanced to occupy the improvised rostrum, and came suddenly face to face with a tall man beautifully dressed. Thus face to face, each looking into the eyes of the other. Then Andre- Louis laughed. "That fellow, too, has a very dan­ gerous gift of eloquence, M. le Mar­ quis,” he said. “Gallows-bird!” he “was answered. "I shall tell the Lieutenant-General that you are to be found in Paris.” "My God, can!’* chied Andre-Louis. "Will you talk like that of Lieutenant- Generals when Paris itself is likely to tumble about your ears or take fire under your feet?’* A tush of men hurtled against hiffl, swept him along with them, do what dare to confess—unless he is a cow­ ard.'” "Oh, and to be sure you were very brave, running away each iyme after you had done the mischief, turning comedian to hide yourself, doing more mischief as a comedian, provoking a riot in Nantes, and then running away again, to become—something dishonest by the affluent look of you. Man, I tell you that in these past two Apparently So.

Canada and the Extension of the Manitoba-Ontario Boundary a Step in this Direction MAPS NOW READY ’ Ontario is the second largest prov­ ince of the Dominion .and contains over 400,000 square miles', being exceeded ! In size by the Province of Quebec which is nearly three-quarters as large again. It occupies over ten per cent, of the aggregate land area of the Do­ minion and exhibits1 many varieties of.- climate and soil, from the distnctlvely* outhern conditions along the shores of Lake Erie to the relatively diverse ones of Hudson and James.Bays, Mani­ toba, its neighboring province on the west, with an area six-tenths as I'grge, exhibits varieties nearly as diverse as , those of Ontario. « Ontario and Manitoba have not alh ways occupied the same extent as they do at present. Several times their limits have been set forth by Imperial exactment or by Dominion statute, the- ultimate effects of which have been large increases to the original areas of each. At one time Manitoba with its regul­ ar boundaries appeared so small upon the Dominion maps that it was often ‘referred to as the "postage stamp prov- ThC' latest acquisition to the territory included within this province was by Dominion Act of Parliament in 1912 when a part of the district of Kee­ watin war included. At (lie same time, also, the present district of Patricia was, added to the Province.of Ontario, and a large area in Labrador peninsula to Quebec.
