One morning in August the academy in the Rue du Hasard was invaded bv Le Chapelier accompanied by a man of remark-able appearance, whose herculean stature and dis­ figured countenance seemed vaguely familiar to Andre-Louis-. Le Chapelier, whose manner was very grave, named him to Andre- Louis. “Thio is M. Danton, a brother­ lawyer, Pre ident of the Cordeliers, cf whom you will have heard.” Of course Andre-Louis had heard of him. Who had not, by then? Le Ghnye’ier proceeded. “It is open vzar b. twen the Third Estate and the Privileged.” “Was it e or anything else?” “Fcrhaus ret; but it has assumed a raw character. You’ll have heard of tho duel between Lameth and' the Due de Casta ec?” “A trifling affair.” “di it-? results.

The members of the Left roared with laughter, those of the Right thunder­ ed menacingly. • Above the general din came the voice of La Tour d’Azyr, who had half-risen from his seat: “Mounte­ bank! This is not the theatre!” “No, monsieur, it is becoming a hunting-ground for bully-swordsmen,” was the answer, and the uproar grew. Gradually the uproar wore itself out, and diminished so that at last the President could make himself hoard. Leaning forward, he gravely addressed the young man in the tri­ bune; “Monsieur, if you wish to be heard, let me beg of you not to be provoca­ tive in your language.” And then to the others: “Mpssieurs, if we are to proceed, I beg that you will restrain your feelings until the deputy sup- pleant has concluded his discourse.” “I shall endeavor to obey, M. le ’President, leaving provocation to the gentlemen of the Right. But it was necessary that I should refer to the distinguished deputy whose place I come so unworthily to fill, and it was unavoidable that I should refer to the event which has procured us this sad Wilson Publishing Company Charms of Music Tested at Zoo A 1‘SnaX the fly’ ! i i i I Novel Advent®’©■Sf -■V escape hanging on tne entire —-- ---------- - ; t-------, Z -f-------------------------------of sedition, Andre-Louis Moreau flees very slowly, after the manner of one necessity.

Solemnly he proceeded. “You all know how Lagron died.

After an absence of rather more than a week, M. le Marquis de La Tour d’Azyr was back in his place- on the Cote Droit of the National Assembly. “M. Andre-Louis Moreau, deputy suppieant, vice Emmanuel Lagron, deceased', for Anciens in the Depart­ ment of the Loire.” M. de La Tour d’Azyr shook him­ self out of the gloomy abstraction in which he had sat. Tho successor of the deputy he had slain must, in any event, be an object of grim interest to him. That interest was heightened when he heard him named, when, look­ ing across, he recognized indeed in this Andre-Louis Moreau the young scoundrel who Was continually cross­ ing his path, continually exerting against him a deep-moving, sinister influence to make him regret that he should have spared him life that dny at Gavrili-ac two years ago. He looked at the young man in won­ der rather than in anger, and looking at film he was filled by a (vague, al- mogi 4 premonitory, Uh-c^sinesS, At the very outset, the presence which in itself ho conceived to be a challenge was to. demonstrate itself for this in no equivocal torifcs, “I come before, you/' Andre-Louis Began,” “as a doputy-suppleant to fill tho place of one who was murdered some three weeks ago.” It was a challenging opening that instantly provoked an Indignant out­ cry from the B-ladks. Andre-Louis paused, and looked at them, smiling a little, a singularly self-confident young man. “Tho gentlemen of the Right, M. le President, do not appear to like my I Col. Grant Morden Asked in House as to Progress London—-Lieut.-Col. Walter Grant Morden, Conservative M.P., for Brant­ ford and Chiswick inquired in the House of Common recently about the absence of telephone service between Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada. “Why,” Col. Morden asked, "has telephone service between G-reat Britain and practically all parts of the United States-, yet no provision has been made for telephone connec­ tion with Canada?” The po&tma&ier-general, Sir William Mitchell Thomson, replied that the question of'extending the transatlantic telephone service to the Dominion was under discussion at present between the- imperial and Canadian govern­ ments. with with don’t warn them that this blood will end by choking them.” Again in that phrase there was something that stirred a memory in La Tour d’Azyr. He turned in the fresh uproar to speak to his cousin Chabrillane who sat beside him. “A daring rogue, this bastard of Gavrillac’s,” said he. Chabrillane looked at him. gleaming eyes, his face white anger. “Let him talk himself out. I think he will be heard again after to­ day. Leave this to me.” Hardly could La Tour have told why, but he's an k back in his- seat^with a sense of relief. Meanwhile, leaving now the subject of the death of Lagron, the deputy- suppleant was speaking upon the question under debate. His speech on the subject was very brief—that being the pretext and not the purpose tor which he had* ascended the tribune. When latSr he was leaving tho hall at the end of the sitting, with Le Cha­ pelier at his side, he found himself densely surrounded' by deputies ns by a body-guard. Most of them were 'Bretons, who aimed at screening him from the provocations which his own provocativo words in the Assembly could not fail to bring donw upon his Bead* Emerging now into the open, under the great awning, those in front of him dispersed a little, and there was a moment as he reached the limit of the owning when his front was entirely uncovered. Outside the rainwas fall­ ing heavily, churning the ground into thick mud. The watchful Chabrillane had seen his chance. Rudely, violently, he thrust Andre-Louis back, as if to make room for himself under the shelter. (To bo continued.)

Certain animals definitely did like tho music. The rhinoceros, instance, found all tunes unwelcome. They tried the “Moonlight Sonata” on him and he expressed disapproval. Then the orchestra switched to “Tea for Two” and he attempted to charge his would-be entertainers. The showed jazz, music; frolicking and became positively dreamy. The beasts of the wolf family de­ cided that the best way of offsetting such sound is to drown them out. Consequently, played wolves noses chorus, the most disliked. The cheetah showed discrimina­ tion. He appeared to like “I Want to Be Happy,” but when the orchestra switched to • Gounod’s “Funeral March” he showed discontent, even alarm. The crocodile proved that he is misunderstood. Even' crocodile tears may be more genuine than we sup­ pose. The crocodiles never failed to come to the bank and listen raptur­ ously to every tune offered. The am­ phibian inhabitants of every pond crowded upon the banks and, with head lifted, seemed to absorb the music with earnest satisfaction. As a class the insects paid scant attention, although the scorpions and certain species of spiders manifested delight. The snake charmer is supposed to charm his victim through the agency of music. Indian magicians in the East sway from side to side and make plaintive music to the cobra. The re­ cent experiment in the snake house of the London Zoo proved that snakes pay np attention whatever to music. The music of the Indian magician, it would appear, is entirely for the bene­ fit of his human audience. What charms the snake—if anything does —seems to bo the rhythmic motions of the charmer. Mosquitos like their own music. The male mosquito is much more sus­ ceptible to the “sing” than is the fe­ male. Start a dynamo that buzzes softly and the male mosquitos flock to it In millions. E. G. Boulenger, director of the Zoological Society's aquarium, says, apropos of the recent experiment: "Apparently one beast’s music is another’s discord, and what enthralls the emotional sea lion 'exasperates the phlegmatic rhiiio. Animal songs that strike us as mere noises may tear the heartstrings of the creatures intended to hear them.

A Family Co-operative We are a family of eight children and all havp a chance to share in the work of the home, for many hands make light work. The children have their special work to do each day. Brother, aged eight, fills the woodbox each morning, also gets tho potatoes from the cellar so they wil be handy when time to prepare them ■ for dinner, carries out the garbage and does many an errand to save weary steps. Sister often helps with the dishes, also dusting, bed-making, fills the lamps and docs many other duties about the home which do not overtax her strength, but gives them'more of an interest in the home. Of course, we don’t get the children to help by going after them with ham­ mer and tongs, for "you can catch flies easier with molasses than vinegar,” but if we say, “Mary, get our table set for dinner,” Mary is anxious to help. But if we’d command and “Mary, set the table!” then Mary would shirk from her duties. Also if there are buttons from her aprons, I say, “Let’s see how nice and neat you can sew them on.” It then is a plea­ sure to her for she feels, then, she is a part of tho making in the home.— Mrs. H.
