The oath, taken as he held in his arms the body of his dearest friend, Philippe De Vilnrorin, sent Andre -Louis Moreau, young lawyer Of 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 • Marquis 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 Ripper 1 es pp death and because the profligate noble had sued for the hand of the beautiful , Aline De Kercadiou, niece of the gruff Lord of Qavrillac, who was popu- larly believed to be the father of Andre -Louis. Returning from Nantes, Andre Louis: is Piet on the outskirts of Gar- 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- stricken at the impending discovery by the girl's father. GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Calm, madembiselle, 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 I" 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 anger, but the expression that It found was an amazement to Andre - Louis. "Leandre, you're an imbecile! Your words wouldn't convince a pie eghboy!" He checked abruptly, startled. Andre -Louis, suddenly realizing what was afoot, and how duped he had been had loosed his laughter. The sound of it pealing and booming un - re to .'

The fat man was the first to re- cover, and he announced it after his own fashion in one of the ready sar- casms in which ho habitually dealt. i "Hark!" he cried, "the very gods laugh at you, Leandre." Then he. addressed the roof of the barn and its invisible tenant, "Hi! You therel" Andre -Louis revealed himself by -a further' protrusion of his tousled head. "Good -morning," said he, pleasant- ly. "What the devil are you doing up there?" "Precisely the same thing that you are doing down there," was the an- swer. "I am trespassing." "Eh?" said Pantaloon, and looked at his companions, some of the assur- ance beaten out of his big red face. "Whose land is this?" Andre -Louis. answered, whilst drawing on his stockings. "I believe He passed the comb into his left hand, and with hieeright fumbled in his breeches' pocket, whence there came faint jingle of coins. "Well, well, said he, gruffly. "But you must decamp, yo,i understand." Ile leaned from the saddle to bring hisrecipienthand to a convenient dis- tance..<"•Andre-Louis placed in it a three-livre piece. "After all," said the ;sergeant, "it is none of our business to play the tipstaves for M. de La Tour d'Azyr. We are e of the mareehausee from Rennes," The sergeant wheeled his horse about, his troop wheeled with him; "You, monsieurl" he called over his shoulder. In a bound Ahdre•Louis was beside his stirrup. "We are in quest of 'a scoundrel named Andre -1 Louis Moreau; froth Gavrillac, a fugi- tive from justice wanted for the gal- lows on a matter of sedition.: You've seen nothing, 'I suppose, of a man *whose movements -seemed to you ,sus- picious?" "Indeed, we have," said Andre-. Louis, very boldly, his face eager with consciousness of the ability to oblige. "Yes, yes," the sergeant felt him- self hot upon the trail. "There was a fellow who seemed very fearful of being recognized,. , a man of fifty or thereabouts . " "Fifty!" cried the sergeant, and his face fell, "Bah This man of ours is, no older than yourself, a thin wisp of, a fellow of about your own - height' and of black hair, just like your own, by the description. Keep a lookout on your travels, master player. Thal King's Lieutenant in Rennes has sent us word this morning that he will pay ten louis to anyone giving informa- tion that will lead to this scoundrel's arrest. It would bo a fine windfall for you, that." "A fine windfall, indeed, captain," answered Andre -Louis, laughing. But the sergeant had touched, his horse with se m h the spur, and was already trotting off in the wake of his men. Then be turned slowly about, and came back towards Pantaloon and the rest of the company, who were now all grouped together, at gaze, CHAPTER II. They were, thought Andre -Louis, as "WE ARE HERE IN QUTST OF LOUIS MOREAU." A. SCOUNDREL NAMED ANDRE- it to be the property of the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr." Having donned his boots, Andre- Louis came nimbly to the ground in his shirt -sleeves, his riding -coat over his arm, They followed him through that gap in the hedge to the encampment on the common, There Andre -Louis }lerceived a young man of the com- pany . performing his morning toilet at a bucketplaced upon one of the wooden steps at the tail of the house on wheels. "I would beg leave to imitate that very excellent young gentleman be- fore I leave you," he said frankly to M. Pantaloon. "But, by all means. Rhodomont will provide what you require." So Andre -Louis once more removed his neckcloth and his coat, and rolled upthe sleeves of hisfine shirt, whilst Rhodomont procured him soap, a towel, and presently a broken comb. This last Andre -Louis gratefully ac- cepted, and having presently washed himself clean, stood, restoring order to his disheveled locks. He was standing' thus, when his - ears caught the sound of hoofs. He looked over his shoulder carelessly, and then stood frozen, with uplifted comb' and loosened mouth. Away across the common, on the road that bordered it, he beheld a party of seven horsemen in the blue coats with red facings of the marechausee. When a moment later the sergeant pulled up his horse alongside of this half-dressed young man, Andre -Louis combed his hair what time he looked pp with a half smile, intended to be friendly, ingenuous, and disarming. "What is your pleasure, captain?" "My pleasure is to tell you that you are very likely to be gaoled for this, all the pack of you." a "But how so, my captain? This is communal land—free to all. "Itis nothing of the kind. This is terra censive." "Technically, I suppose you are right," sighed Andre -Louis, and fell to combing his hair again, still 'look- ing up into the sergeant's face.

A dark ray, which it is said will enable the operator to pierce fog or smoke and see what is beyond, was exhibited by J. L. Baird, inventor of the televisor, in his London labora- tory; the new invention is called "noctovision:" Its inventor claims it will render naval and, military smoke screens useless in warfare. It' may also anish the element of surprise from naval and military aerial actions, nd make it possible to locate fleets n the skies orat sea. In the presence of Admiral Mark. Kerr, and others, Baird transmitted doll's features through an artificial fog, produced by chemicals, so dense s to nearly choke his assistants. The new ray is a sort of invisible earchlight, which it is said, has 16imes the penetration power of ordi- ary light through fog or smoke. The ay makes a sound when it encoun- ers a solid object or even a ray of ght. Each 'object produces a dif- ferent spund, from which it is pos- ible to determine its nature. a inerd's Liniment for dandruff. Alaska's Flag Designed by 13 -Year -Old Boy. Alaska is to have an official flag, designed by a 13 -year old boy. The Territorial House of "Repre- sentatives has given its approval and voted $2,000 for sending Benny enson, of Seward, the schoolboy whose design was accepted, to Paris. The flag has eight gold stars set a field of blue.

He pointed out the long and amiable .Rhodomont, whom Andre Louis already knew. " "Then here we have Scaramouche, whom. also you already know.
