Andre -Louis stepped back. His
eyes gleamed n moment; the next
they were smiling up into the face of
his tall enemy.
"No better than the others, after
all! Well! Well! Remark, I beg you,
how history repeats itself—with cer-
tain differences. Because poor. Vit-.
morin could not bear a vile lie with
'which you goaded him, he struck you.
Because, you cannot bear an equally
vile truth which I have uttered; you
strike me. But always is the vileness
yours. Andnow as then for the
striker there is ..." He broke off.
"But there. I will meet you if you
desire it, monsieur."
"What else do you suppose that I
desire? To talk?"

CHAPTER VIII.
Monday morning, at a quarter past
eight, as with Le Chapelier, Andre -
Louis was rising from table to set out.
for the Bois, bis housekeeper startled
him by announcing Mademoiselle de
Itercadieu.
He looked a his watch. Although
his cabriolet was already at the door
he had a few minutes to spare. Ile
excused himself from Le Chapelier,
and went briskly out to the ante-
room.
She advanced to meet him, her
manner eager, almost feverish.
"I will not affect ignorance of why
you have come," he said quickly, to
make short work. "But time presses,
and I warn you hat only the most
solid of reasons can be worth stating."
"But . , . Oh, Andre, this meeting
must not take place!" She came close
up to hint, to set her hands upon his
ehouldere, and steed so, her face
within a foot of his own,
"You lmow, of Bourse, of some good
reason why it should not?" said he.
"You may be killed," she answered
him, and her eyes dilated as she
spoke.
It was far from anything that he
bud expected that for a moment he
could only stare at her. Then he
thought he had understood. He laugh-
ed as he removed her hands „from
his shoulders, and stepped back. This
was a shallow device, childish and
unworthy in her.
"Come, now," saki he. "There is too
much' between La Tour d'Azyr and
ale,. There is an oath I swore on the•
dead' hand of Philippe de Vilmorin. I
could never have hoped that God
would afford me so great an oppor-
tunity of keeping it."

"I did," she answered him and "The assignation is for nine o'clock
flushed as she remembered her yes- in the Bois de Boulogne," Aline in-
foimed her. "Could we follow? Could
we prevail if we did?"
"In the Bois!" Madame was flung
into a frenzy. "The Bois is nearly
half as large as Paris." --But she
swept breathlessly on, "Come on,
Aline: get in, get in!"
Then to her coachman. "To the
Bois de Boulogne," she commanded,
"as fast as youcan drive. There are
ten pistoles for you if we are in time.
Whip up, man!"
She thrust Aline into the carriage,
and sprang after her with the energy
of a girl.
They were speeding through the
open eountry now, following the road
that continued to hug the river.
Mademoiselle broke at last the sil-
ence of hopelessness that had reigned
between them.
"But it is long past nine, madame!
Andre would be punctual, and these
affairs do not take long. It . ,

Madame shivered. 'Then the put

CHAPTER IX.
By fast driving Andre-Lquis had
reached the ground some minutes
ahead of time. There he found M. de
La Tour d'Azyr already awaiting
him, .supported by a M. d'Ormesson,
a swarthy young gentleman in the
blue uniform of a captain in the
Gerdes du Corps.
Their preparations were. made
quickly and in silence, yet without
undue haste or other sign of nervous-
ness on either side.

blades clashed together, and after a
momentary .glizade were whirling,

The flood came at a particularly un-
fortunate time so far as animal life is
concerned, because the young of most
species were too small to save 'tPlem-
selves from drowning. The same can
be saki of young birds such as wild
turkey, quail, grouse and innumerable
species of song and insectivorous
birds which nest on or. near,. the
ground. The loss of quail and wild
turkey is particularly unfortunate, as
those two species of valuable game
birds are at a rather low ebb anyway,
and many years of care and protea-

Natives Prefer Ownership
The Governor gives it as his expert -
once that no peasant in the tropics lip
will work as a wage-earner; however
attractive the wage scale may be, if
the alternative of cultivating land of
his own be;open to him. Having re-
gard alike to the genius of the Sing-
halese and the trend of economic de-
velopment in the Island, statesman
ship, in Sir Hugh Clifford's opinion, de-
mands that the Government should de-
vise "means for the mutiplication of
small holdings and the bringing into
existence of a prosperous, self-support-
ing and self•respecting multitude of
peasant proprietors." The machin-
ery he proposes to set to enforce
the policy is a board of development.
This board is to act, on the one
hand, as the trustee of the State and,
on the other, as the friend and guide
of the peasant proprietor under the
new scheme. The board is expected`
to allot lands, see that they are suit-
ed for cultivation, recruit men to culti-
vate them, grant them loans to pur-
chase seeds, manure and other neces-
saries, provide them with technical
advice and do the several other things ee
that serve to promote successful agri-
culture..
Scheme Not for Profit
The board is to ,remember that Its
primary interest in the scheme ilea
not in the production of a balance- •
sheet or of revenue, but the creation
t
o as large a number heras possible of
small landowners, solidly established
in circumstances of permanent Pree-
parity. • ..
The board will have 200 square
miles of excellent Crown land vested
in It and, to begin with, a sum of
500,000 rupees will be placed at its
disposal. Crops grown are tohavea
permanent economic value. It wi!1
