La Tour D'Azyr, who tricked Andre's dearest friend, Phil- ippe de Vilnnorin, a divinity student, into a duel and then killed him be- 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 ale peasants. Pearemouche, as Andre -Louis is now called, falls in love with Climene, dnughter of the owner of the troupe and tries to feaget the beautiful Aline de rcercadiou, whom, he thinks, will marry the Marquis. Cumene treat :file with coldness. GO ON WITH THE STORY. • CHAPTER IX. "1?o you know," said Climene, "that I am waiting for the explanation which I think yen. owe me?" They were alone together, lingering still et the table to which Andre -Louis had come belatedly. "Explanation?" he questioned. "But on what _care?„ "On the score of the deception you have prartioed an us—on me.' You should net have pretenutw1 E in7 n1A -ins are e said, and palled at his Jii.k r11r aro wrong, Climene.

Per the hist bate in their relation- ship he obsessed and deplored the taint of ' n!gurity, of shrewishness, in her manner. "Her uncle, M. de Kercadiou, is my pidi,.tier: It is popularly be- lieved in C;avrillac that 141. do Ker- 'cadiou is my father. He has cer- tainly care l fee my rearing from my tenderest t y ears. I owe to him every- thing that I had. To -day I possess nothing save what I -can earn for myself in the theatre or elsewhere." She sat stunned and pale under that cruel blow to her swelling pride. "You should have told me this be- fore," she said, in a dull voice that she strove to render steady. "Perhaps I r-hat'tld. But does it really matter?" "Matter?" She suppressed her fury to ask another question.

What precisely do you mean?" "Just that. .It is a belief that I do not share. It is a matter of instinct, perhaps, with me. Moreover, once. I asked M. de Kereadiou point-blank, and I received from him a denial." "And your mother, was she equally ignorant?" She was sneering, but he did not remark it. Her back was to the light. "He would not disclose her name to me. He confessed her to be a Near friendof his." She startled him by laughing, and her laugh was not pleasant. "A very dear friend, you may be sure, you simpleton. What name do you bear?" He restrained his own rising in- dignation to answer her question calmly: "Moreau. It was given me, so I am told, from the Brittany'vil' liege in which I was born. In fact, I have no name, unless it be Scara- mouche, to which I have earned a title. So that you see, my dear," he ended with a smile, •"I have practiced no deception whatever." "No, no. I see that now." She laughed without mirth,then drew a deep breath and rose. "I am very tired," she said. She moved towards the door, drag- ging her feet n little. He sprang to provided she gives nothing in ex- change." , White-faced, . with flaming eyes, site turned on him at that, "How? You dare?" "I know M. de La Tour d'Azyr," he answered her. "He is a pian who ,takes what he wants wherever he finds it and whether it is given will- ingly or not; a man who reckons no- thing of the misery he scatters on his self-indulgent way. Ponder it, OH - melte, and ask yourself if I do you less than honor in warning you." He went out on that, feeling n degradation in continuing the subject. On Tuesday of the following week, Andre -Louis rain into a slightly built, sallow -complexioned gentleman very neatly dressed in !flack, "Moreau! Where the devil have you been hiding .yourself these months?" It was Le Chapelier, the lawyer, the leader of the. Literary., Chamber of Rennes, Without halting for .re ply, he continued: "You are the man we have been seeking everywhere, and -1 eholdi—you drop from the skies into my path." .They crossed the square and en- tered the cafe. "I suppose you haven't heard of the royal order for the. convocation of the States General, or the °terms: of them -that we are tohave what we demanded, what you domanded for us here in Nantes! You haven't heard of the fresh uproar in Rennes, last month. The order was that the three estates should sit together at the States General but in Rennes the nobles took up arms, headed by your old friend, M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and they were for slashing us—the members of The Third Estate —into ribbons so as to put an end to our insolence." Be laughed delicate- ly. "But we showed them that we,. too, could take up arms. We fought them a pitched battle in the streets,' and so peppered them that they were glad to take shelter in, the Gardelier Convent." "It is odd," said Andre -Louis, "that I should never perceive. that Nantes is being politically active." That night at the theatre be had a mischievous impulse to test what Le Chapelier had told him of the state of public feeling in the city. They Were playing "The Terrible Captain," in the last act of which the empty cowardice of the bullying braggart Rhodomont is revealed by Scara- mouche. After the laughter which the ex- posure of the roaring captain invae; ably producer). "WIIAT PRECISELY DO YOU MEAN?" SHE ASKED. open it, and she passed out without looking at him. On the morrow Andre -Louis found his mind distracted by thoughts of both Clianene and Aline. It was Aline who provided the deeper perturba- tion. Climene's attitude Inc regarded as a passing phase. But the thought t of Aline's conduct toward him kept rankling and still more deeply rankl- ed the thought of her possible be- trothal to M. deLa Tour d'Azyr, This is was thatbrought forcibly to: his mind the self-imposed but by now half-forgotten mission that he had made his awn. He had boasted that he would make- the voice which M. de La Tour d'Azyr had sought to silence ring through the length and breadth of the land. What a fine contrast between the promise and the fulfillment!` It happened that the first person he saw when he took the stage on that .Thursday evening was Aline; the second Was the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr. They occupied a box on the right of, and immediately above, the stage. That was the evening's first' shock. The next came after the second act. Entering the green -room he found at the far end with Clianene, over whom he was bending bons his over height, nis eey�ee intent upon her face, M. deLa Tour d'Azyx, That night there were high words between Andre -Louie and Ciimenec the high words proceeding ±1ditn 011- raene, When Andre-Laute' Again en- joined prudence aliens his betrothed, she shocked and stunned him by her shrewish tone and her virulentlys r still more unexpected forco of in- eeetive. "I'll not tolerate your insensate jealousy. A girl in the theatre must make it her business to accept horn - age front all." "Agreed;, and there is no harm, amouche contemptuously to dismiss hien ina phrase that varied nightly. This time he chose to give his phrase a political complexion: "Thus, coward, is your emptiness exposed. Because of your long length and your great sword people have Y terrible and ilea g feed you to be as to as formidable as you insolently make yourself appear. But at, the first touch of true spirit you crumple up, you tremble, you Whine pitifully, and the great sword remains qri faun scabbard. You remind me of the Privileged Orders when confronted by the Third Estate. It was audacious of him, and he was prepared for anything -a laugh, applause,indignation, or all together. But he was not prepared for what came. Andit came so suddenly and spontaneously from the groundlings; and the body of those in the amphi- theatre that, he els almost scared by it- as a boy may be scared who has held a match to a sun -scorched hay- rick. It was a hurricane of furious applause. Men leapt to their feat,: sprang up, an to the benches, waving their hats in the air, deafening him with the terrific uproar of their' ac- clamations. And it rolled on and on, nor ceased until the curtain fell. (To be continued.). "Ah don't ride on dem things," said the old colored lady, looking at the in rry-goaoitnd.
