BEGIN HERE TO -DAY. been annoyed by similar depredations, When the peasant Mabey was shot dead when poaching on the domain of the great noble of Brittany, the you will perhaps understand that it had become necessary to employ a de- terrent sufficiently strong to put an Marquis de La Tour �D'Azyr, a end to them. And there is more than shudder of horror went through the that. It is not the poaching that an- sensitive spirit of noys me so much as the contempt for my absolute and inviolable rights. There is, monsieur, as you cannot fail to have observed, an evil spirit of insubordination in the air, and there is one only way in which to meet it. To tolerate it, in however slight a degree, to show leniency, however.len- iently disposed, would entail having recourse to still harsher measures to- morrow. If anything in what I have said is still obscure to you, I refer you to the game laws, which your lawyer friend there will expound 'for you at 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- rillac. Andre -Louis looks with cynic- ism on the new political doctrines but agrees to accompany Philippe and put the case before de Kereadiou. The :Marquis was closeted with the Lord of need."

There was some- thing sinister in the Marquis' attitude which made Andre -Louis fear for Philippe. GO ON WITH THE STORY. "It seems, monsieur, that I must refresh your memory." The Marquis directly faced M. de Vilmorin. "You spoke, monsieur—and you spoke very eloquently, too eloquently almost, it seemed to me—of tiie infamy of such a deed as the act of summary justice upon this thieving fellow Mabey. In- famy was the precise word you used. yourohands are full?" You did not retract that word when' "Revolutionist!" said M. le i17ar- I had the honor to inform you that quis, contemptuously. "You have the it was by my orders that my game- keeper Benet proceeded as he did." M. de Vilmorin's fine face wore a look of perplexity. He did not under- stand the drift of this. "It occurs to me, M. le Marquis, In view of your readiness to assume responsibility, that you must believe in some justification for the deed which is not apparent to myself." "Thtet is better. That is distinctly better." The Marquis took snuff deli- ing clouds that herald the coming of cately, dusting the fragments from the storm? The Third Estate, which the line lace at his throat. "When I I you despise, will make an end of this tell you that•for months past I have canker of privilege that is devouring ( the vitals of this unfortunate coun- try." "M. l'abbe," said the Marquis, "you have a very dangerous gift of elo- quence. I can conceived of men being swayed by it. Had you been born a gentleman, you would not so easily have acquired these false views that you express." M. de Vilmorin stared blankly, un- comprehending. "Had I been born a gentleman, do you say?" quoth he, .in a slow, be- wildk'red voice. "But I was born a gentleman: My race is as oid, my Lluod as good as yours, monsieur." "You have been deceived in that, I fear." "Deceived?" "Your sentiments betray the indis- cretion of which madame your mother must have been guilty." The brutally affronting words were sped beyond recall. A dead silence followed. Andre - Louis' wits were numbed. Ho stood aghast, all thought `suspended in hint, what time M. de Vilmorin's eyoa con- tinued fixed upon M. d La Tour d'Azyr's, as if searching there for a meaning that eluded him. Quite sod- denly he understood the vile affront. The blood leaped to his facc, fire ° blazed in his gentle eyes. A convul- sive shiver shook him. Then, with an inarticulate cry, he leaned fore, ard,. and with his open hand struck M. le Marquis full and hard upon his sneering face. In a flash M. de, •Chabrillane was on his feet, between the two omen. Too late Andre -Louis had soenn the trap. La Tour d'Azyr's words welts but as a move in a game of chess, calculated. to exasperate his opponent into some such counter-move as this ---a counter-riiove that left him en- tirely at the other's mercy.
