The cousin, who ha given hel •property to 'the•revolu tionary government and •liatl tune republican,' fancied that she ha gained the' gratitude of thd'• country and that her relatives were per- fectly safe under her protection. iI cousins, however, are.-not•so sure her power and Louis is busy trying to forge passports which will •permit them to board a boat which •sails in an hour. ' 'Ile is not very suecoest and the nearness 'of his cousin, the young republican, is so disturbing that he finds himself adding her real name to the assumed names which they had adopted and forced upon her. Before long a loud•knocking is heard at the door and Valsin, an of- ficial of the revolutionary govern- ment, (Edward Rorke)„ breaks down the door, after repeatedly demanding admittance, and finds only Anne De Laseyne, who has forced her brother and their cousin to leave her to deal with what may come; She does her best, telling hits' she is a widow, who has a niece staying with her. The officer 'sees through het very easily and plays a bit upon her nervous- ness, when her cousin appears and sends her etvay while she tries her hand at parleying. When she tells the officer that her friends are un- der the protection of Citizen Eloise d' Anville, he laughs at her, and makes her very' 'angry by pretee,d- ing to think she is a governess and by describing herself, Eloise d'An- viIle, the aristocrat; turned republi- can, as a vain and futile person, who is held in contempt by the official's. Finally he 'even "spurns her offer to maim him!, an 'care y n, and declares that he will arrest Louis; but wilt allow the wo- man to 'take the boat now waiting. He calls upon Louis to •send out the two women who are with him, his sister anil Eloise, whom he assumes is - also there, .and promises to give him ten minutes after . they leave. The two women appear; Anne and a tall figure .in black, 'and the •three depart When Valsin's. assistant Dods:Millie, (John :Me0]11), wants to go into the other room .to snake. the ai'r.est Valsin tells him that there is t no• - n t one here, that Louis was the "lady" in 'black. He had allowed this prisoner to escape and tells his sub- ordinates to' forget it. He thinks that Louis, to whom he bore a per: serial grudge, will be sufficiently punished if he marries the proud lit - le soitfire with 'Whom, he has es - ped. ,• week -night services as usual.

THE BENEFIT CONCERT Those who attended the concert, given under the direction of the Clinton Kiltie Band in the town hail on Sunday evening in aid of a ehil- dren's Christmas fund, did not really contribute to that fund at 'all as they were treated to a very enjoyable con- cert. And anyone who did not put at least fifty cents on the plate must have felt ss if he or she was getting more than they paid for. It was an excellent pregnant. Dr, Shaw occupied the -chair, per- forming the -duties of ids office in genial fashion. The program con- sisted of several selections by the full. band, solos by Mr. Meakin of Goderich, a former member of the Drury Lane Theatre: London, who possesses a very pleasing baritone .voice and who was well received; solos by Rev. Father Sullivan, who has assisted on seeeral programs since corning to • Clinton but who had not been heard by so large and re- presentative an audience before and who was also well. received. Solos by Mrs, Chas. E. Dougan, Miss Vi- ola Fraser and Mr. Chas. Cook, whti need no conurnendation in Clinton; a trumphot quartette by Messrs. Ag- new,Pearson, Kutch and Rapson; a cornetuet d by Messrs. A"new and Pearson, a cornet solo by Mr. Mbr- gan Agnew, a vocal duet by Mrs. Carless and. Mrs. Fitzsimons, and a couple of selections by a male quartette, consisting of Messrs, A. R. Mitchell, W. lljuteh, F. M,uteh and G. D. Roberton. Each number was enthusiastically encored and the mu- sicians were good-natured. aed • re- s speeded etl i n most cases. Some Scottish Melodies by the band and Auld Lane -Syne and God Save the King brought the program to en end. • • Mrs. Morgan Agee* 'v and Miss Cannan acted as aeco lianiste While 114x. Mforgan Agnew 'also played a cornet accon'postinie t for Miss Fraser. - •- m a n Dr. Shaw, during a short inter mission, explained the object of the gathering end commended the band for their public -spirit in aiding all good causes. He thought they should be encouraged and same day he -hop- ed to seg Clinton's band enter the competition at the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition, and bring • :hone a prize. • He expressed regret that the members did not appear an uniform, but said they did not consider this a dress parade. He also expressed re- gret that the pipes were not in evi- denee and told a story of a Mian in a Montreal hospital whe was thought to be dying and who asked to heat Mite pipes before the end came. A piper was procured and played be- neath his window and'the••ntan got better. "An evil -disposed English- man asserted: afterwards, "continued Dr, Shaw, "that all the"other patients in the hospital. died." Dr. Shaw also spoke a word of commendation of the Home and School Club, the or ganizatian to which the Band is:giv- ing the proceeds of the concert' to ,expend.; in providing Christmas' Cheer, es ec"-11 to c i p za y h ldi,en.
