BEGIN .HERE TO -DAY.
To escape hanging on the charge
of sedition, Andre -Louis Moreau flees
from his native town of Gavrillac
and hides his identity as a member of
a band of strolling players in which
he makes a great success in the char-
acter of Searamouche
His flight has caused, him to delay
revenge on the great and powerful
Marquis de La Tour D'Azyr, who
tricked Andre's dearest friend, Phil-
ippe de Vihnorin, a divinity student,
into a duel and then killed him hes
cause he feared the idealist's "danger-
out gift of eloquence." Over the dead
body of his friend, Andre -Louis swore
to carry on his work of reforming
the lot of the peasants.
Scaramouche, as Andre -Louis is
now called, falls in love with Climene,
daughter of the owner of the troupe,
and tries to forget the beautiful
Aline de ICercadiou, whom, he thinks,
will marry the Marquis. Climene
treats him with coldness.

"Loveliness and grace!" she echoed,
feigning amused surprise. But the
vain baggage was mollified. "When

"Then you'll refuse to believe are

At that she became a little out of

question of finding an outlet for re -

gotten.
"But why? With what object?"
"With the object of asking you

way in silence, and so, for the mo-
anent, the matter was left just there.
But that night, after they had
supped, it chanced that when Gli-
mone wes about to retire, he and she
were alone together in the room
abovestairs that her father kept ex-
clusively for his company,
As Climene now rose to withdraw
for the night, Scaramouche rose with
her to light her candle. Holding it
in her left hand, she offered him her
right, a long, tapering, white hand
at the end of a softly rounded arm
that was bare to the elbow.
Thus a moment, when he took the
tips of her fingers in his 'grasp, and
bowing over the hand, pressed his
lips upon it. Then he looked at her
again. The intense femininity of her

Scaramouche pulled the bell -rope,
not at all discomposed.He smiled,.
There was a flush on his cheeks and
a gleam in his eyes. Ile was very
pleased with the world that night: Ile
really owed a great debt to M, de
Lesdiguieres.
"Binet," said he; "forget fol once
that you are Pantaloon, and behave
as a nice, ` amiable father-in-law*
should behave when he has secured
a son-in-law of exceptionable merits."
CHAPTER VII.
The Binet Troupe opened in Nantes
—as you may riecover in surviving
copies of the "Courier Nantais"—on
the Feast of the Purification with
"Les Fourberies de Scaramouche."
For Searamouche himself the open-
ing success was not confined to the
public. At the end of the play a
great reception awaited him from his
companions assembled in the green-
room of the theatre.
On the following night they played
"They Shy Lover" to a full hoose,
the Same of their debut having gone
abroad, and the success of Monday
was confirmed.
After breakfast the following
Morning, Andre -Louis and.Qlimene
sallied forth to take the air upon the
quays. Columbine tactlessly joined
them as they were setting out, though
matter were improved a little when
Harlequin came running after them
and attached himself to Columbine.
Through the bustle of traffic on the
quay a cabriolet,' the upper half of
which was almost entirely made of
glass, had approached them. It was
drawn by two magnificent bay horses
and driven by a superbly liveried
coachman.
In the cabriolet sat a slight young
girl wrapped in a lynx fur pelisse,
her face of a delicate loveliness. She

MOTOR INVASION
NORTHNORTIITOSOIFII
New Motor Highway Into
New Ontario to. be Fittingly
Opened.
Timmins, Ont—Arrangements are
being made to organize a gigantic
motor trek from Northern Ontario
Toronto in August, or the beginning
of September. Mr. Alex Dewar,
president of the Associated 'Boards of
Trade of Northern Ontario, has writ-
ten the various municipalities of the
North asking them to elect represen-
tatives to attend an organization
meeting to be held in the near future.
The suggestion of the motor parade
was made by the Hon. William Fin-
layson on his visit to the North, when
he stated that upon the completion of
the new trunk highway he would ex -
teed an invitation to all motorists of
the North to visit. Toronto and par-
ticipate in Northern Ontario Day at.
the Canadian National Exhibition.
He also suggested that the business
men of the North should make an ef-
fort to bring settlers and: theirfam-
ilies in their cars to demonstrate to
the people of lower Ontario the won-
derful possibilities that were to be
obtained in the northern section of
the province.
It is understood that practically
every town north of North Bay is al-
ready making preliminary arrange-
ments for the invasion of the south
