In the background, on a settee it the salon's far end, sat Aline staving in bewilderment and some feat Ell a fade which, if unrecognizable through. the mask of blood and dust that smeared it, was yet familiar. And them the man spoke, and instantly she knew the voice for that of the Mar- quis de La Tour d'Azyr. • "In danger?" Almost he seemed si- lently to laugh at the .unnecessary question. "If I were to show myself openly in the streets just now, I might with luck contrive to live for five minutes!" He peeled off the shaggy greatcoat, and (seating it from him stepped forth in the black satin that had been the general livery of the hundred knights who had rallied in the Tuileries that morning to the defence of their king. His coat was rent across the back, hs neckcloth and the ruffles at his wrists were torn and bloodstained; with his smeared face And disordered headdress he was terrible to behold. "My dear Therese, unless you carry charitableness to the length of giving me to drink, you will see me perish of thirst under your eyes before ever the canaille has a chance to fine r me."She started.'I should have thought of it!" she cried in self-remeacb, and she turned quietly.

"Made- moiselle, I had not suspected your presence," he said, and he seemedextraordinarily ill -at -ease, a man startled, as if caught in an illicit act. "I perceived it, monsieur," she en- amor -ed, as she advanced to do ma - dame's cemmlesien. She paused be- fore him. "From my heart, monsieur, I grieve that we should meet again in circumstances so very painful."

M. de aL Tour d'Azyr at last plead- ed weariness, and withdrew that he night endeavor to take some rest. When he had gone, madame persuad- ed Aline to go and lie dawn. Left alone, madame lay down on a couch in the salon itself, to be ready for any emergency. The timepiece on the overmantel chimed the hour of ten, and then, startling in the suddenness with which it broke the immediate silence, an - 'other sound vibrated through the house, and brought nadame to her feet, in a breathless mingling of hope and dread. Someone was knocking sharply on the door below. Followed She sprang awa;frem him im with startltd cry.

"Oh, none, madame," Iva assured herr "It is entirely a matter for ,yourself." Aline looked from one to the other with troubled eyes, hesitating to take the letter that was now proffered.

"Con- duct him to ate,' and then beg Mile.. die Keroaxlicu :tojoin me if - she is awake." The door opened again, and Jac- ques reappeared'; after him, stepping briskly past him, came a slight man in a wideebrimmed hat, adorned by a tricolor cockade. About the waist of an olive-green riding coat he wore a broad tricolor sash; a sword hung at' his side. "Andre -Louie!" she exclaimed. "Aline!" It was a cry of wonder, altnost of joy. "You do not utterly abhor mei" "My dear," said Aline, _and kissed the tear -stained face that seemed to have grown alder^ in these last few hours." In the background Andra-Louis, steeling himself against emotionalism, spoke with the voice of Scaramouche.: "It would be . well, mesdames, to postpone all transports until they can be indulged at greater leisure and in more security. It is growing late. If we ale to get out of this shambles we should be wise to take the road without more delay." It was a tonic as effective as it was necessary. It startled them into re- membrance of their circumstances, and under the spur of it they went at once to make their preparations.. They left hint for perhaps a quar- ter of an hour, to pace that long room alone, save only from impatience by the turmoil of his mind. When at length they returned, they were ac- companied by a tall man in a full- skirted shaggy greatcoat and a broad hat, the brim of which was turned down a:11 around.

Arunstfield, 1llusse:bnrgh,. Blackheath and St.An- Since the appearance of that Model T, says Mr. Crowther, many changes have 'been made based upon the mechanical knowledge throughout the .country,' the improvement of roads, and finally, the demand for -"style" in cars. The final test as to the desir- ability for a' complete change is that of volume of sales. The sales of last year did not show a much greater dip than between 1923 and 1924 and the complete change was again' postponed until the present year. The stupendous amount of work in- volved in this change is clearly shown by the complexity of the planning necessary.. "If he (Ford) made a new model then he would have to dis- continue the manufacture of Model T, for he holds that no factory is large enough to make two models, It was out of the question to put up a new factory—the machine makers of the world could not supply the tools within ttvo years." Two years ago 81 changes were made in Model T. Mr. Crowther en- umerates the difficulties involved. "We set date to begin changing over. The planning department had°to calculate just the amount of material 'which would keep production going at top speed until that date and then permit production to stop without having any material left, over. We had to design 4,759 punch and dies and 6,990 jigs and fixtures. The labor cost of this amounted to $5,682,387, while the materials ran to $1,395,596... . That is to say, these changes cost us ' upward to $8,000,000. "If you . have a mathematical turn 411. of mind, you can estimate the work - involved and the money cost of a com- plete new model, and then add to that "7 the money lost during the time of pro- duction. That is not all. In design- ing for 2,000,000 units a year, one • must make certain that the materials can be obtained without crowding the market. It -has often been suggested that Ford cars would look better if they were upholstered in leather. So they would but there are not enough cattle in the world to provide the leather!" At, the bottom of the fall of sales during the first half of the year, Mr. Crowther points out, is the fact that the Ford company is not making Model' T cars, but is preparing for the innovation in car industry which at some day will be Written as an industrial epic. t s e 0 Y ar exlioetulated;- this poijnrant emotion that she displayed and that he, ex- perienced was fantastic.
