BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
The oath, taken as he held in his
arms the body of his dearest friend,
Philippe De Vilmorin, sent
Andre -Louis Moreau, young lawyer
of Gavrillac, to Rennes and thence to
Nantes where his fervish speeches
reused to action the citizens who
were chafing under the oppression of
the nobility. Phillipe has been trick-
ed into a duel and brutally murdered
because the great
Marquis de La Tour D'Azyr feared
the "dangerous gift of eloquence"
which the idealistic divinity student
possessed. Andre -Louis swore to
carry on the cause of his friend and
revenge himself on the Marquis for
Philippe's death and because the
profligate noble had sued for the hand
of the beautiful
Aline De Kercadiou, niece of the
gruff
Lord of Gavrillac, 'who was popu-
larly believed to be the father of
Andre -Louis.
Returning from Nantes, Andre -
Louis is met on the outskirts of Gav-
rillac by. Aline, who warns him that
soldiers are waiting in the town to
arrest him for sedition. He flees and
takes refuge in a barn where he is
awakened by the voices of two lovers,
Cliniene and Leandre, who are panic-
stricken at the impending discovery
by the girl's father.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
The conversation becoming general,
Andre -Louis soon learnt what there
was to learn of this strolling band.
himself. "You may set me down as
a sort of knight of rueful countenance
in quest of adventure. On your side
you tell me that you are in need of
someone to replace your Felicien."
M. Binet was musing.
"What should you say to ten livres
a month?"
"I should say that it isn't exactly
the riches of Peru."
"I might go as far as fifteen," said
Binet, reluctantly. "But times are
bad."
"I'll make them better for you."
"I've no doubt you believe it. Then
we understand each other?"
"Perfectly," said Andre -Louis, dry-
ly, and was thus committed to the
service of Thespis.
CHAPTER III.
At five o'clock that evening the cur-
tain rose on "The Heartless Father."
The performance was in every
sense unexciting; the audience meagre
and unenthusiastic. By the time M.
Binet had paid the expenses there
was not likely to be very much left
toward the wages of his players.
"And what do you think of it?" he
asked Andre -Louis.
"Possibly it could have been worse;
probably it could not," said he.
In sheer amazement M. Binet
checked his stride, and turned to look
at his companion.
"I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU."
They were on their way to Guichen,
where they hoped. to prosper at the
fair that was to open on Monday
next. And then M. Binet fetched a
sigh.
"But we shall miss Felicien." M.
Binet turned to .Andre -Louis. "He
was our property man, our man of
affairs, and occasionally he acted."
The three ladies had taken their
departure to the chaise. The men
were already climbing into the house
MI wheels, when Binet turned to
Andre -Louis,
"We part here, sir," said he,. dra-
matically, "the richer by your ac-
huaintance." He put forth his podgy
and.
Slowly Andre -Louis took it in his
own. He had been thinking swiftly
in the last few moments.
"I part from you reluctantly,"
Andre -Louis continued. "The more
reluctantly since I do not perceive the
absolute necessity for parting."
"How?" quoth Binet, frowning,
and slowly withdrawing the hand
which the other had already retained
Bather longer than was necessary.
"Thus," Andre -Louis explained
"Huh!" said he. "Dieu de Dieu!
But you are frank."
At supper a half-hour later he re-
vived the topic..
"Our latest recruit," he announced,
"has the impudence to tell me that
possibly our comedy could have_ been
worse, but that probably it could not."
And he blew out his great round
cheeks to invite a laugh at the ex-
pense of that foolish critic.'
From the tail of the table Andre -
Louis was challenged by Cliinene,
fat there between Columbine and
Madame.
"You would alter the comedy, would
you, M. Parvissimus?" she cried, giv-
ing. him the name which earlier he
had suggested as appropriate to the
least of the company.
"I would suggest that it be alter-
ed," he corrected, inclining his head.
"I should go back to the original and
help myself more freely from it."
"The original?" questioned M. Bi-
net—the author.
"It is called, I believe, 'Monsieur
de Pourceaugnac,' and was written
by Moliere."

"You do not imply that I have been
.'stealing from Moliere?" I
"I advise you to do so, monsieur,"'
was the disconcerting reply,
"He is outrageous,"' said naodentoi-
sell° indignantly.
"`outrageous is the word,, I thank
you for it, my dear, You sit at my
table and to my face you advise me
to become a thief --the worst kind of
thief that is conceivable, a thief of
spiritual things, a thief of ideas! It
is insufferable, intolerable!"
He was very angry. His voice
boomed through the little room, and
the company sat hushed and some-
thing seared, their eyes upon Andre-
Louis, who was the only one entirely
unmoved by this outburst of virtuous
indignation. •
"You realize, monsieur," he, said,
very quietly, "that you are insulting
the memory of the illustrious dead?"
"Eh?" said Binet. •
"You insult the memory of Mo-:
Here, the greatest ornament of our
stage, one of the greatest ornaments
of our nation; when you suggest that
there is vileness in doing that which
he never hesitated to do, which no
great authoryet has hesitated to do.'
You cannot suppose that Moliere ever
troubled himself to be original in the
matter of ideas." ,
It was as a consequence of this
that Binet retired soon after, taking
Andre -Louis with him. The pair sat
together late that night, and were
again in close communion throughout'
the whole of Sunday morning.
CHAPTER IV. .
At four o'c:ock on Mon.iay after-
noon the curtain rose on "Figaro
Scaramouche" to an audience that
filled three-quarters of the 'market -
hall. M. Binet attributed th;s good
attendance to the influx of people to
Guichen for the fair.
The company excelled itself. The'
audience followed with relish the sly,
intriguings of Scaramouche, and de-,
lighted in the beauty and freshness of
Cliniene.
On Tuesday the success was repeat-.
ed artistically and augmented finan-
cially. Ten Louis and seven livres -vas
the enormous sum that Andre -Louis,
the doorkeeper, counted over to M.
Binet after the performance., Never
yet had M. Binet made so much: money
in one evening. j
And then the tragedy occurred. It
announced itself in a succession of
bumps and thuds, culminating in a
crash outside the door that brought

Pierrot sprang to open, and be-
held the tumbled body of a man lying
at the foot of the stairs. It emitted
groans, therefore it was alive. Pier -
rot went forward to turn it over, and
disclosed the fact that the body wore
the wizened face of Scaramouche,' a
grimacing, groaning, twitching

such tricks before.
"What ails you?" quoth he, sourly.
"My foot's broken, I think," Scara-
niouche complained.
The doctor came. Having seen the
patient, he reported that nothing very
serious had happened. He had sprain-
ed his foot a little, A few days' rest
and all would be well.
"A few days!" cried Binet. "Do
you mean that he can't walk?"
"It would be unwise, indeed impos-
sible for more than a few steps."
M. Binet paid the foctor's fee and
sat down to think.
He thrust his arm through Andre -
Louis', and lesfhim out into the street,
where there was still considerable
movement.
"I am thinking of you in the part
of Scaramouche."
Andre -Louis disengaged his arm.
"I begin to find you tiresome," said
he.
"A moment, M. Parvissimus. If I
ani to lose that fifteen louis, you'll
not take it amiss that I compensate
myself in other ways?"
"That is your own concern, M. Bi-
net." .
"Pardon, M. Parvissimus. It may
possibly be also yours." Binet took
his arni again. "Do me the kindness
to step across the street with me.
Just as far as the post -office there.
I have something to show you."
Andre -Louis went. Before they
reached that sheet of paper nailed
upon the door, he knew exactly what
it would say. And in effect it was,
as he had supposed, that twenty louis
would be paid for information lead-
ing to the apprehension of one Andre -
Louis Moreau, lawyer of Gavrillac,
who was wanted by the King's Lieu-
tenant in Rennes upon a charge of
sedition.
M. Binet watched him whilst he
read. Their arms were linked, and
Binet's grip was ficin and powerful.

PARIS SCHOOL WINS "MAKERS OF CANADA."
It was no light task that faced the examiners when they be-
gan to read the hundreds of. essays which poured in from scholars
of Public and Separate Schools in all parts of Ontario and Quebec.
Finally, however, all were eliminated but the thirty-six which, in
the best judgment of the committee, were entitled to the awards.
The prizes are now in the hands of the various publishers through
whom the winning essays were sent, but the committee earnestly
suggests that wherever possible the presentations be made at the
Empire Day Exercises in the schools.
.To the Paris Public School goes the honor of winning the
most prizes, and Mr. Featherstone, proprietor of The Paris Tran-
