When the peasant Mabey was shot dead when poaching on the domain of the great noble -of Brittany, the Marquis de La Tour D'Azyr, a shudder of horror went through the sensitive spirit of Philippe De Vilmorin; a young di- vinity student, who was a believer in the democratic. doctrines which under- lay the French Revolution. Philippe's determination to secure justice meets with 'little encouragement from his friend Andre -Louis Moreau, a young and brilliant lawyer, who is popularly be- lieved to be the son of Quentin de Kercadiou, Lord of GAv- rillae. Andre -Louis looks with cynic- ism on the new political doctrines but agrees to accompany Philippe and put the ease before de Kercadiou. The Marquis was closeted with the Lord of Gavrillac when they arrived. Philippe goes to join the two nobles and Andre - Louis talks to the young and beautiful Aline de Kercadiou. He is horrified when the girl tells him that the Mar- quis has come to ask her uncle for her hand in marriage. GO ON WITH THE STORY. Aline drew hack from Andre -Louis a little, with a frown and an upward tilt of her chin. "It surprises you?" "It disgusts me," said he, bluntly. "In fact, I don't believe it." For a moment she put aside her visible annoyance to remove his doubts. "I am quite serious, mon- sieur. There came a formal letter to my uncle this morning from M. de La. Tour d'Azyr, announcing the visit and object." "An will it suit you to be dutiful ,cif you . uncle accepts this monstrous proposal?" "Monstrous'!" she bridled. "And why monstrous, if you please?" "For a .score of reasons," be an- swered, irritably, "Give meone," she challenged him. "He is forty-five at least." "But he looks no more than thirty. He is very handsome the greatest nobleman in Brittany. He will make me a great lady." "God made you that, Aline." "Come, that's better. Sometimes you can almost be polite," And she moved along the terrace. Andre - Louis pacing beside her. "I can be more than that to show reason why you should not let this beast befoul the beautiful thing that God has made." She frowned, and her lips tighten- ed. "You are speaking of my future husband," she reproved him. "And is it so? It is settled, then? Your uncle is to agree? You are to be sold thus, lovelessly, into bond- age to a .man you do not know. 1 had dreamed of better things for you, Aline." "You are indelicate," said she, and though she frowhed her eyes laughed. "My uncle will not consent to more than allow my consent to be sought. I am not to be bartered like a turnip." "You have been torturing me to amuse yourself!" he cried. "Ah, well, I forgive you out of my relief.". "Again you go too fast, Cousin Andre. I like the look of the gentle- man. M. le Marquis does not look. ,lii 1111 For .seal lea-a.t-i-n-g Refreshment Get Nips -- deli- cious Peppermint flavored gum in sugar-coated form— t so A be'aueiscial tr'eM'-cldhblree Mouth Opti teeth, . eids tlh brtioa..

It may be more interesting still to I marry him, and I think, when all is considered, that I shall probably— ' very robably—`very probably—decide to do. so." "God help you, Aline!" he groan- ed. "You ..arca insufferable!" She was growing angry, as he saw by the deepening frown, the heightened color. I "That is because I suffer. Oh, Aline, little cousin, think well of • that ... !what • you doConsider e "I consider, monsieur, that you presume upon the kindness I have always shown you. You abuse the position of toleration in which you stand. Who are you? What ate you, that you should have the inso- lence to take this tone with me?" "My congratulations, mademoiselle, upon the readiness with which you begin to adapt yourself to the great , role you ,are to play." "Do you adapt yourself also, mon- sieur," she retorted angrily, and turned her shoulder to him. "To be as the dust beneath the haughty feet of Madame la Mar- . guise. I hope I shall know my place in future." "The phrase arrested her. She turned to him again, and he per- ceived that her eyes, were shining now suspiciously. In an instant the amlockery in him was quenched in contrition. I "Lord, what a beast I am, Aline!" he cried, as he advhneed. "Forgive me if you can." j • They eevere stave ding so;; confront- iing each other a little breathlessly, a little defiantly, when the others is- sued from the porch. First came the Marquis of La Tour d'Azyr, Count of Solz, Knight of the Orders of the Holy Ghost and Saint I.Louis, and Brigadier in the armies of the King. He was a tall, grace - lel man, upright and soldierly of carriage, with his bead disdainfully set upon his shouldhers. He was magnificently dressed in a full -skirt- ed coat of mulberry velvet that was laced with gold. His waistcoat, of velvet, too, was of a golden apricot color; his breeches and stockings were of black silk, and his lac- quered, red -heeled shoes were buckled in diamonds. His powdered hair was tied behind in a broad ribbon of wat- ered silk; he carried a little three - cornered hat under his arm, and , a gold -hilted slender dress -sword hung at his side. He was immediately folowed by M. de Kercadiou, in complete contrast. On legs of the shortest, the Lord of Gravillac carried .a body that at forty-five was beginning to incline to corpulence and an enormous head containing an indifferent allotment of intelligence. After M. de Kercadiou came M. de Vilmorin, very pale and self-con- tained, with tight lips and an over- cast brow. To meet thew: there stepped from the carrmge a very elegant young gentleman, the Chevalier de (;ha-. brillane, M. de La Tour d'Azyr's cousin, who whilst awaiting his re- turn had watched with considerable interest --his own presence unsus- pteted—the perambulations of A ndre- Louis and mademoiselle. Perceiving Aline, M. de La Tour d'Azyr c!etaehed himself from the others, and, lengthening; his stride, came straight across the terrace to her. The Marquis took the hand that mademoiselle extended to him, and, bowing' over it, bore it to his lips. "M demoiselle," he said, looking into the blue depths of her eyes, that niet his gaze smilingly and un- troubled, "monsieur your uncle does me the honor to permit that I pa;,' Hwy homage to you. Will you, made- moiselle,.da me the honor to receive inn when I come to -morrow? I shell have something of great importance for your ear." "O:t importance, M. le Marquis? You almost' frighten me," "'That," sold he, '3s very far from My design." "You whet my curiosity, monsieur; hard, of course, 1 aln a dutiful niece. It follows that I shell be honored to receive, you" "Not •honored, =demoiselle; yeti will Confer the honor. Te -morrow Wllnaecl'e—the' dependable Iinlreent, "To -morrow you." ,,r, at this hour, then, I shall have the felicity to wait upon at this hour, then, I shall have the felicity to wait upon you." • CHAPTER III. As they walked down the 'hill to • gether, Andre -Louis was talkative. He had chosen Woman as a subject for his present discourse. .He claimed—quite unjusfiiiably—to have discovered Woman that morning; and the things he had to say of the sex were unflattering, and occasion- ally almost gross. Opposite the Breton Arme—the inn and posting -house at the entrance of the village of Gavrillace-Me de Vilmorin interrupted his eomp•anion just as he was soaring to the' dizziest heights of caustic investive, and Andre -Louis observed the carriage of M, de La Tour d'Azyr standing before the door of the hostelry. "I have an appointment here with M. le Marquis. He desires to hear me further in the matter;" said Philippe. Into a room on the right, rendered private to M. le Marquis for so long as he should elect to honor it, the young men were ushered by the host. A fire of logs was burning brightly at the room's far end, and by this sat now M. de Iia Tour d'Azyr and his cousin, the Chevalier de Chabril- lane.

A good rule to follow is "good taste is always, a safer standard than a, mete fad. It outlasts any pasding fancy and is never freakish. Good taste rests on slmpiteii:y."
