'207 Anyone can sell poorer tea claera:o oro CHAPTER VI.—(Cont'd,) Not for a second was Andre-Loui under any delusion' as to the man' deliberate purpose,, nor were thus who stood near him, who -made a be ]ated and ineffectual attempt to dos about him. He was grievously lis appointed, It was not. Chabrilla he had been -expecting. But if .Chabrjllane was the ma appointed to. deal' with him, he woul make the best of it. "I think you are pushing against me, monsieur," he said, very -civilly, and with elbow and shoulder he thrust M. de Chabrjllane back into the rain. Now, for all his slenderness, his assiduous daily sword -practice had given •Andre -Louis an arm of iron. Also he threw his weight into the thrust. His assailant reeled backward a few steps, and then his heel' struck a baulk of timber left on the ground by some workmen that morning, and he sat down suddenly in the mud. A roar of laughter rose from all who witness the fine .gentleman's downfall, He nese, mud -bespattered, in a fury, and in that fury sprang at Andre -Louis. "You shall meet me for this!" he spluttered. "I :hall kill you for it." "Whenever you please, monsieur. Tt is for you to say when it will suit your convenience to kill me. I think that was the intention you announced, was it not?" Andre -Louis was suav- ity itself. "To -morrow ~morning in the Bois. Perhaps you will bring a friend." "Certainly, monsieur. To -morrow morning, then, I hope'we shall have fair weather. I detest the rain." Chabriilane looked at him almost with amazement. Andre -Louis smiled Pleasantly. "Dou't let me detain you now, mon- sieur. We quite understand' each other. I shall be in the Bois at nine o'clock to -morrow morning."." In the morning, when the Assembly met, his place was vacant, and so was 114. do Chabriilane's. Gloom and re- sentment sat upon the members of the Third, and brought a more than usually acrid note into their debates. They disapproved of the rashness of the new recruit to their body.'Some openly condemned his lack of circum- spection. Very few—and those only the little group in Le Chapeiier's con- fidence --ever expected to see him again. It was, therefore, as much in am- azement as in relief that at a few minutes after, ten they saw him enter, calm, composed, and bland, and thread his way to his seat. The speaker oc- cupying the rostrum at that momeri't —a member of the Privileged—stop- ped shot to stare in incredulous dis- may. Here was something that he could not understand at all. Then from somewhere a voice explained the phenomenon contemptuously, "They haven't met. He has shirked it at the last moment" It must be so, thought all; the mystification ceased, and men were nettling back in their seats. But now, having reached his place, having heard the voice that explained. the Matter to: the universal.satisfactibn, s Andre -Louis paused before taking his s seat. He felt it, incumbent upon him e to reveai=the true fact. • - "M. le President, my e:ccuses for my late arrival." There was no ie- eessity for. this. It was a mere piece n0 of theatricality, such as it wits ,not in Scaramouche's nature to forego. "1 n have been detained -by an engagement d of pressing nature. I bring you also the excuses of M. de Chnbrillane.`He, unfortunately, will be permanently absent from this Assembly in future." The silence was complete. Andre- Louis sat down. • ' 1 f is the ideal sweet for chit. dren and you,. too. It aids appetite and M digestion, and satisfies p, the craving for �'a sweets. After Every Meat elide CHAPTER VII. Nobody laughed new at Andre - Louis' flippancy. He did not intend that anybody should. He intended to be terrible; and be knew that the more flippant and casual his tone, the more tereible would be its effect. He produced exactly the effect he desired. When the session rose, there were a dozen spadassins awaiting him in the vestibule. He paused, seeking the man he ex pected, the man he was most anxious to oblige. But Made La Tour d'Azyr his lips. He must afford no. pr.oveeta •tion; 11isnust be for thein to fasten their quarrels upon hint.

If itbe so— and who can doubt it? --there is little likelihood that sailing ships will soon be forgotten, Beauty, spacious and intriguing, was, thee birtbright; grace of motion and symmetry of outline their endowment in superlative meas- ure; and the authentic spilt of ro- mance, which is the dower of beautye a halo broad upon therm and around diem. To the men who sailed those ships, and to the many mored who loved them, there is comfort in the thought,, The swift, shapely hurls, each sitting the water like a resting gull; the wind filled fabrics aloft, which resamb- "BECAUSE, MONSIEUR, YOU PREFER THE EASY VICTIM." was absent from those eager ranks. This seemed to him odd. La Tour d'Azyr was Chabrillane's cousin and closest friend. Surely he should have been among the first to -day. To Andre -Louis, since La Tour was not ono of that waiting pack, it mattered little on that Tuesday morn- ing who should be the next. The next, as it happened, was the young Vi- comte de La. Motto-Royau, one of the deadliest blades in the group. On the Wednesday morning, com- ing again an hour or so late to the Assemly, Andre -Louis announced—in much the same terms as lie had an- nounced the death of Chabrillane— that M. de La Mette-Royau' would probably net distdrb the harmony of the Assembly for s'•me weeks to come, essumhng that lne were so fortunate ae to recover ultimately from the effects of an unpleasant accident with which he had quite unexpectedly had the misfortune to meet that morning. On Thursday he made an identical' announcement with regard to the Vi - dame de Blavon. On Friday he told i thein that he had been delayed by M.1 dee.Troiscantins, and then turning to the members of the Cote Droit, and lengthening' his, face to a sympathetic' gravity: "1 am glad to inform you, 'mes- sieurs, that M. des Troiscantins is in the hands of a very competent sur- geon who hopes with care to resture him to your councils in :a few weeks' time." The Friday of that very busy week found the vestibule of the Menage empty of swordsmen when he made his leisurely and expectant egress with Le Chapelier. "Have they had enough?"' he won- dered, addressing the question to Le Chapelier. Out there under the awning a group of gentlemen stood in earnest talk. Scanning the group . a rapid glance, Andre -Louis perceived M. de La Tour d'Azyr adsongst them. Ile tightened e• again and making then~ coiner out,l right.

Under this scheme, the British and Canadian Governments prop'ose jointly to ex- iiencl a total sum of five milliondolhu'sy, over a period of ten years inthe form of recoverable advances to assist suit- ab1elB'ritish youths to take up farm- ing in Canada on their own account. rt is the desire of the two Govern - manta that British boys between the ages of 14 and 20, who are assdste*. topro•ceed to• Canada towork on. Perms, should be able to look foawer& to a. definite eereer. on the land. A large number of British boys who come out as farm workers dd, of course, became farmers, but so far they have had t`o'rely entirely upon their own efforts for the necessary capital to purchase andlequip et farm, and thili may take a cons4cleu•bi•e num- ber of years, The new scheme aims at curtailing this period of waiting, and under it a British youth at the end of a few years spent in gaining the' necessary training and- experience in Canada and in accumulating some savings, will have the opportunity cf being placed on a farm of 'his own under government supervision. The scheme will apply to boys who have received assisted passages, have passed through the Provincial train- ing centres in Canada, and who are be- tween 14 and 20 years of age on ar- rival in the Dominion. On reaching 21 years of age, the boys—provided that they have acquired the necessaryI 'training and exgerlence by working for wages on a farm in Canada, and 'have saved approximatoty $500—will be eligible for assistance up'to an amount not exceeding .$ 2,500 for the purchase of a farm and for stock me, equipment. No aclvanceo will be made to young men over 25 years of age. Settlement under this scheme will' commence on April, 1, 1023;' and will;- extend over a 'period of 10 Years, "4 Government Responsibility The scheme provides for the co operation of the Provincial Govern. meats end the extent of the settle- ment In each province will del ere upon the measure of each co-operation. The Dominion Government will, how- eves', assume responsibility for actual settlement and the general administra- tion of the scheme.. Y' During the peat year training cen- tres have been. established In several of the provinces under Government control and supervision: The British and Canadian Governments make a joint cash contribution towards the operation of 'these Peovhicial training centres, which aro regarded as the basis of this Dominion -wide boys' set- tlement scheme. It is- believed that the prospect not, afforded to thrifty and industrious British boys of a. delinite career on the land will have the effect of stimul- ating interest among Britisli'boys in the opportunities open to them in Canada under „existing schemes for boy mibratlonand under new schemes now being developed. 'This s,cheme gives effect as .far as Canada is concerned .to recommenda- tions of Lhe Impeder Conference, 1921, which drew attention to the inrpog1 tance of oounterpaeting the drift to the cities, and of providing sense as- sistance to enable suitable settlers to acquire farms of their own when they had gained the necessary local experi- ence and were in a position to make a deposit in respect of the purchase price of the land. • London Newspaper Comment The Morning Post in a leadiuf'r edi•totia•1 on the new agreement con- cluded between the British and Cana- d.
