BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
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

cannily ander the great roof that so
immediately confined him was startl-
ing to those below.
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."

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. "We
are grateful to you for the warning."

Dark Ray and to Pierce ..
Smoke.
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.

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-

and voted $2,000 for sending Benny

whose design was accepted, to Paris.
The flag has eight gold stars set

ed to him. We are improvisers—im-

school."
And he proceeded to introduction in
detail. He pointed out the long and
amiable .Rhodomont, whom Andre
Louis already knew. "

whom. also you already know. Some-
times he is Scapin and sometimes

also in the world. He has a gift of

voice of the stranger, quick •and vol-

that glittered and shone; mirrors and
lace; bright -tinted combs, and hand-
kerchiefs spread out on the kitchen

looked upon the extent of the treasures,
that came out of the pack, and he
watched the glint of gold earrings and
the shining of teeth as the strairgor,
talked, and the quick flitting of. hands
that brought out treasures endlessly_
Billy lifted himself on tiptoe, and
gazed tfito the depths of the pack.
