GO ON WITH TIE STORY. CHAPTER V. One Inorning in August the academy in theg Y Rue du Hasard was. invaded by Le Chapelier accompanied by a man of remarkable apgharance, whose herculean stature and dis- figured countenance seemed vaguely familiar to Andre -Louis. Le Chapelier, whose manner was very grave, named him to Andre - Louis. "This is M. Denton, a brother; lawyer, President of the Cerdeliers, of whom you will have heard," Of course Andre -Louis had heard of him. Who had not, by then? Le Chapelier proceeded, "It is open war between the Third Estate and the Privileged." "Was it ever anything else?" "Perhaps not; but it has assumed a new character, you'll have heard of the duel .between Lanieth and the Due de Castriese" "A. ttifiing affair," "In its results. But it might have been far other. Mirabe.au is challeng- ed and insulted now at every sitting. But he goes his way, cold-bloodedly wise. Others are not so circumspect; they meet insult with insult,. blow with blow, and blood is being shed in private duels. The thing is reduced by these swordsmen of nobility to a system," Andre -Louis nodded, Ho was think- ing o£ Philippe ds Viilmorin. "Yes," he said, "it is an old trick of theirs. It is so simple and direct—like them- selves. I wonder only that they didn't hit upon this system sooner." "But they mean to make up for lest time—sacred name!" cried Denton. Challenges are flying right and left between there bully swordsmen, these spadasslnicides, and poor devils of the robe who have never learnt to fence. anything but a quill.- It's just mur- der." Said Denton. "Between us we must resolve the riddle of how to extin- guish M. de Le Tour d'Azyr and his friends," "Who?„ Sharp as a pistol -shot came that , question, as Denton was turning away. The tone of it brought him , up short. He turned again, Le Cha- l pelier with hum. "I said M. de La Tour d'Azyr," JIJICY FRUIT has the flavor of fresh, ripe fruits.

"And not a job for a prentice hand, I can as- sure you." "Ah, but this alters things," said Andre -Louis, thinking aloud. '"It " ffera a great temptation." m tat- g p on Le Chapelier and Denton exchang- ed glances, then watched him, wait- ing what time he considered. He turned to them again, and they saw that he was very pale, that his great dark eyes glowed oddly. There will probably be some diffi- culty in finding a suppleant for this. peer Lagoon," he a •aid.

"No, monsicu ,i• it is becoming a hunting -ground for bully -swordsmen,", was the answer, and the uproargrew. Gradually the uj oar wore itself out, and diminished so; that at last the Presidentcould make himself hoard. Leaning forward, he gravely addressedthe young mm- in the tri- bune: "Monsieur, if you wish to be heard, let me beg of you not to be provoca- tine in your langudge." And then to the others: "Messieurs, if we are to proceed, I beg that you will restrain your feelings until the deputy sup- pleant has concluded his ddseourse.

Solemnly he proceeded.. "You all know how Lagoon died. I trust, for the sake of these who might attempt it, that the means taken to impose sentence upon that eloquent voice will not be taken to impose silence urea mine." There was a faint murmur of ap- plause from the Left, u snlutter of ontemptueuslaughter: from the Right. "Rhodomont1" a voice called to him.

"M. Andre -Louis Moreau, deputy suppleant, vice Emmanuel Lagron, deceased, for Ancien in the Depart - Meet of the Loire." M. de La Tour d'Azyr shook him- self out of the gloomy abstraction in which he had sat, The successor of the deputy he had slain must, hi any event, be art object of grim interest to him. That interest was heightened when he heard him named, when, look- ing across, he recognized indeed in this Andre -Louis Moreau the young scoundrel who was continually cross- ing his path, continually exerting against .hint a deep -moving, sinister influence to make him regret that he should have spared him Life that day at Gavrillac t'.vo years ago. He looked at the young man in won- cler rather than in anger, and looking at hem he was filled by a vague,, a1- most a' prentonitomy, unemaines's. At the very outset, the presence which in itself he conceived to be a challenge was to demonstrate itself for this in no equivocal terms. "I come before you," Andre -Louis began, "as a deputy-suppleant to fell the place of one who was murdered some three weeks ago." It was e challenging opening, that instantly provoked an indignant out- cry from the Blacks. Andre -Louis paused, and looked at them, smiling a little, a singularly self-confident young man. "The gentlemen of the Right, M. le President, do not appear to like my Again in that phrase there was 4 something that stirred a memory in to La Tour d'Azyr, He turned in the1 u fresh uproar to speak to his cousin ll saes de him "A daring rogue, this bastard 0 Gavrillac's," said he Chabrellane looked at him with gleaming eyes, his face white with anger.

Hardly could La Tour have tel Why, but he sank Beek in his seat wi a sense of relief Meanwhile, leaving now the subjec of the death. of Lagron, the deputy suppieant. was,speaking upon th question under debate. His speech o the subject was very brief—teat bein the pretext and not the purpose for which he had ascended the. tribune. When later he was leaving the hall at the end of the sitting, with Le Cha- prdlier at his side, he found himself densely surrounded by deputies as by a ;body -guard. Most of them were Bretons, who aimed at screening him frown the provocations which his own provocative words in the Assembly could not fail to bring doulw upon hi head. Emerging now into the open, under the great awning, those in front of him dispersed a little, and there was a moment as he reached the limit of the owning when his front was entirely uncovered. Outside the rainwas fall- ing heavily, churning the ground into rk thick mu The watchful Chabrillane had seen his. chance.
