The oath, taken as he held in his arms the body of his dearest friend, Philippe De Vilmorin, 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 Philippe's death and because the profligate noble had sued for the hand of the beautiful Aline De Kercadiou, niece of the gruff Lord of Gavrillac, who was popu- larly believed to be the father of Andre -Louis. Returning from Nantes, Andre - Louis is met on the outskirts of Gav- 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. "Now, my friend," said M. Binet, "will you be M. Parvissimus and play Searamouche to -morrow, or will you be Andre -Louis Moreau of Gavrillac and go to Rennes to satisfy the King's Lieutenant?" "I yield to your most eloquent and seductive persuasions, M. Binet," said Andre -Louis sweetly, CHAPTER V. Dressed in the close -fitting suit of a bygone age, all black, from flat velvet cap to rosetted shoes, his face whitened and a slight up -curled mus - ache glued to his upper lip, a small aword at his side and a guitar slung behind him, Scaramouche surveyed himself in a mirrorand was disposed to bo sardonic—which was the proper mood for the part. He bowed to his reflection in the mirror. "Buffoon!" he apostrophised it. "At last you have found yourself." Ten minutes later the three knocks sounded, .and the curtains were drawn aside. Andre -Louis was assailed with nau- sea in that dread moment. He at- tempted to take a lightning mental review of the first act of this scenario of which he was himself the author - in -chief; but found his mind a cons - pieta blank.• His arm was clutched, and he was pulled violently toward the wings. He had a glimpse of Pan- taloon's grotesque face, its eyes blaz- ing, and he caught a raucous growl: "Climene has spoken your ' cue three tunes already." Before he realised it, he had been bundled on to the stage, and stood there foolishly, blinking' in the glare of the footlights, with their tin re- actors. So utterly foolish and be- wildered did he look that volley upon volley of laughter welcomed him from the audience, which this evening packed the hall from end to end.

TeMet groan- ed, "what will happen when they dis- cover that he isn't acting?" But they never did discover it. Scaramouche's bewildered 'paralysis lasted but a few seconds. He realized that he was being laughed at, and remembered that his Scaramouche was a creature to be laughed with, and not at. A ripple of laughter from the audi- ence had been steadily enheartening him. It was clear they found him comical. When at last the curtain fell for the last time, it was Scaramouche who shared with Climene the honors of the evening, his name that was coup - agreed. ' Our chance meeting was'' . fortunate thing for both of us." "And now for the remainder of my proposal." "Ah? And the proposal?" `.'Is that you constitute me your partner, with an equal share in the. profits of your company." The decision to. which M. Binet fin- ally came was, naturally, the only one possible in the fade of so 'firm a re- solve`, as that of Andre -Louis, who held the trumps. In the end the matterwas settled, and the announcement duly made to the assembled company. There were, of course,- jealousies and resentments. But these were readily swallowed' when it was discovered that the lot of the entire company was to be ma- terially Improved fromthe point of view of salaries. The one exception was Climene.. Her failure to bring to heel this in- teresting young stranger had begot- ten in her a malice which his per- sistent ignoring of her had been, steadily inflaming.. She had remon- strated with her father when the new partnership was first formed. She had lost her .temper with hien, and called him a fools whereupon M. Bin- et—in Pantaloons best manner—had lost his temper in his turn and boxed her ears. She piled it up to the ac- count of Scaramouche. One day she threw herself in his way as he was leaving the theatre. "Will you tell one what I have done to you?" she asked him, point-blank. "Done to me, mademoiselle?" He did not understand. She made a gesture of impatience "Why do you hate me?" "Hate you, mademoiselle? I con- sider you adorable. I envy Leandro every day of my life. I have seriously thought of setting him to play Scara- mouche and playing lovers. myself." 'tI don't think you would be a suc- cess," said she.

It seemed to Andre -Louis in those days that he had found his real• car- eer, and not only was he beginning to like it, but actually to look forward to a career as -actor -author that might indeed lead him in the end to that Mecca of all comedians, the Comedic, Francaise. And there were other possibilities. From the writing of skeleton scenarios for improvisers, he might presently pass to writing plays of dialogue, plays in the proper sense of the word, after the manner of Chenier, Eglantine, and Beaumar- chais. Now, dream though it was, he did not neglect the practical side of it. "You realize," he told M. Binet, "that I have it in my power to make your fortune for you." He and Binet were sitting alone to- gether in the parlor of the inn at Pipriac, drinking a very excellent bottle of Volnay. It was the night after the last performance there of "Les Fourberies." "I will concede it, my dear Scare- mouche, so that I may hear the se-' quel." And Scaramouche proceeded to un- fold a scheme that filled Binet with a paralyzing terror, "After Redon, Nantes," he said. "Nantes and the Theatre Fewdau." M. Binet choked in the act of drink- ing. The Thetre Fewdau was a sort of provincial Comedic Franoaiee. "But why not Paris and the Come die Francaise?" wondered M. Binet, with sarcasm, when at last he had got his breath. "That may come later," says im- pudence. "Eh? You've been drinking, my friend." But Andre -Louis detailed the plan that had been forming hs hie mind. "We'll talk of Paris after Nantes," he flnleheed, supremely matter-of-fact, "just as we will definitely decide on Nantes after Redon." The persuasiveness that could sway a mob ended by sweeping M, Binet off Me feet The prospect which, Scara =niche unfolded, if terrifying, was also intoxicating, "The thing remains possible," said he then, holding his glass to the light,1 and speaking caatually, "as long as I • esti with you." "Agra cd, my dear Scaramouche, Leandreit is possible that I might he convincing." "Why, what inspiration do you mean?" "The inspiration of playing to so adorable a Climene." Her lazy eyes were now alert to search that lean face of his. "Youare laughing at me" said she, and swept past hint into the theatre on her pretended quest. There was nothing to be done with such a fel- low. He was utterly without feeling. He was not a man at all. Yet when she came forth again at the end of some five minutes, she found him still lingering at the door. "Not gone yet?" she asked him, superciliously. "I was waiting for you, mademoi- selle. You will be walking to the inn. If I night escort you ..." "But what gallantry! What con- descension!" "It amuses you to be cruel," said Searamouche. "No matter. Shall we walk?" They set out together, stepping briskly to warm their blood against the wintry evening air. Awhile they went in silence, yet each furtively ob- serving the other, (To be continued.)

ROYAL L •Y C'1 !STANDARD OF QUAUTY. FOR OVER. 5.O YEAR OUR LAUNDRY. Monday Morning's Trial. for the City Bachelor..,. There's laundry, On Monday morning when•the alarm clock sounds its busy matin and wakes me to find the sun or the rain streaming through, my windows my thoughts turn auto- matically to laundry. I assemble it with care. The dress shirt from behind the bureau and the one hanging in the closet. Yesterday's socks from in front of the fireplace in the living -room. I go through all my pockets for handkerchiefs. The procedure forms a catalogue of the week's events. The dress shirt con- jures up memories of an evening with a young person who had theories, on. every subject within range of my des- perately versatile conversation. They also whisk into my mind another evening and I find that it is, less clear. I look at the shirt closely. Sure enoughy there are spots on the bosom. Champagne, possibly. In that man- ner each garment affords a clue to the history of personal trivia. Then the boy arrives. I spread a sheet in the centre of the floor, shame- lessly divest mystelf of pyjamas, bundle the whole beneath a thick knot, mutter a little prayer, and the ad- venture is inaugurated. It may take almost any form, from a loss of the entire quota of haberdashery and lin- ens to the return of more than was sent away. Often,it results, in damage. Wong 'Lee, I recall, was the undoing of four shirts in a single washing. I put on my best in raiment and manner, and called upon Mr. Lee. "You have," I said sternly, "ruined four shirts. You must reimburse me' for them." I hesitated. "Pay me money for torn shirts." Mr. Lee did not understand. By and by, however, I mentioned the word "Policeman," and the reimburse- ment was forthcoming. It is the one word I havefound that makes an in- stant impression on foreigners. Tell them what you desire. Wait. They will shrug. Then say "Policeman" and the world is yours Again, you may get somebody else% laundry. And somebody else's laun- dry constitutes one of the best indoor starts with which I' am familiar. You untie the package. First there are wash ties. You giggle. Then there. are silk shirts. You chortle. Striped night gowns. You guffaw. Red wool- len underwear gives you game and rubber. IOr you may find transplantations in your own laundry. Many a reput- able concern follows the doctrine of 'a sock for a sock. For your checkered tan wool sport socks you may be given green lisle. The permutations and combinations of this exchange of cour- tesy are unbounded. And there ds no redemption at the laundry itself.

He criticized the pressure being brought on Russia for the payment of her debts on the basis "of 20 shillings to the pound," and deplored the discrim- ination shown in this respect against the Russian people. He thought that the Bolshevik danger in China was mere bogie, and greatly exaggerate "I think," he said, "we will have to make ourselves oo-operators with the Chinese people rather than governing authorities in China. If a titan ape preaches the Chinese question with d historical sense but no moral sense, he is a bad egg. If he approaches ii with a moral sense butno historical sense, he is half of a fool.
