The oath, taken as he held in his arms the body of his dearest friend, Philippe De Vilrnorin, sent Andre -Louis Moreau, young lawyer of Gavrillac, to Rennes and thence to Nantes where his fervish speeches roused. to action the citizens who were chafing under the oppression of toe 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 taro lovers, Climene and Leandre, who are panic- stricken at the impending discovery by the girl's father. GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Now, my friend," said M. Binet, "will you be M. Parvissimus and play Seararnouche to -morrow, or will you be Andre -Louis Moreau of Gavrillae and go to Rennes to satisfy the King's Lieutenant?" "I yield to your most eloquent and seductive .persuasions, M. Binet," said Andre -Louis sweetly. CHAPTER V. Dressed in the close -fitting suit of a bygone age, all black, from flat velvet cap to rosetted shoes, his face whitened and a slight up -curled mus ache glued to his upper Hp, a small sword at his side and a guitar slung behind him, Scaramouche surveyed himself in a mirror, and was disposed to be sardonic—which was the proper mood for the part. He bowed to his reflection in the mirror. "Buffoon!" he apostrophised it. "At last you have found yourself." Ten minutes later the three knocks, sounded, and the curtains were drawn aside. Andre -Louis was assailed with nau- sea in that dread moment. He at- tempted to take a lightning mental review of the first act of this scenario of which he was himself the author - in -chief; but found his mind a° com- plete blank. His arm was clutched, and he was pulled violently toward the wings. He had a glimpse of Pan- taloon's grotesque face, its eyes blaz- ing, and he caught a raucous growl: "Climere has spoken your cue three times already." Before he realized it, he had been bundled on to the stage, and stood there foolishly, blinking in the glare of the footlights, with their tin re - esters. So utterly foolish and be- wildered did he look that volley upon volley of laughter welcomed him from the audience, which this evening packed the hall from end to end.

"Name of a name," M. Binet groan- ed, "what will happen when they dis- cover that he isn't acting?" But they never did discover it. Scaramouche's bewildered paralysis lasted but a few seconds. He realized that he was being laughed at, and remembered that his Scararnouche was a creature to be laughed with, and not at. A ripple of laughter from the audi- ence had been steadily enheartening him. It was clear they found him oomical. When at last the curtain fell for the last time, it was Scaramouche who shared with Climene the honors of the evening, his' name that was coup-. ap'rracal, Our chance meeting VMS' a fortunate thing for both of us." "And now for the remainder of my proposal." "Ah? And the proposal?" is that you constitute me your partner, with an. equal . share in the profits of your company." The decision to which M. Binet fin- ally came Was, naturally, the only one possible in the face of so firm a re - (solve as that of Andre -Louis, who held the trumps. In the end the matter was settled, and the announcement duly made to the assembled company. There were, of course, jealousies and resentments. But these were readily swallowed when it was 'discovered that the lot of the entire company was to be ma- terially improved from the point of view of salaries. The one exception was Climene. Her failure to bring to heel this in- teresting young 'stranger had begot- ten in her a malice which his per sisient ignoring of her had been steadily inflaming. She had remon- strated with her father when the new partnership was first formed. She. had lost her temper with him, and called him a fool, whereupon M. Bin= et—in Pantaloon's best manner—had lost his temper in his turn and boxed her ears. She p e up o e a - count of Scaramouche. One day she threw herself in his way as he was leaving the theatre. "Will you tell me what I have done to you?" she asked him, point-blank. "Done to me, mademoiselle?" He did not understand. She made a gesture of impatience 1 "Why do you • hate me?" - "Hate you, mademoiselle? I con- sider you adorable. I envy Leandre every day of my life. I have seriously thought of setting him to play Scara- mouche, and playing lovers myself." "I don't think you would be a suc- cess," said she. "Given the inspiration that is given "IT AMUSES YOU TO BE CRUEL," SAID SCARAMOUCHE. led with her in the calls that sum- moned them before the curtains. CHAPTER VI. It seemed to Andre -Louis in those clays that he had found his real car- eer, and not only was he beginning to like it, but actually to look forward to a career as actor -author that might indeed lead him in the end to that Mecca of all comedians, the Comedie Francaise. And there were other possibilities. From the writing of skeleton scenarios for improvisers, he might presently pass to writing plays of dialogue, plays in the proper sense of the word, after the manner of Chenler, Eglantine, and Beaumar- chais. Now, dream though it was, he did not neglect the peactical side of it. "You realize," he told M. Binet, "that I have it in my power to make your fortune for you." He and Binet were sitting alone to- gether in the parlor of the inn at Pipriac, drinking a very excellent bottle of Volnay. It was the night after the last performance there of "Les Fourberies." "I will concede it, my dear Scara- mouche, so that I may hear the se- quel." e-que" And Scaramouche proceeded to un -1 fold a scheme that filled Binet with a paralyzing terror. "After Redon, Nantes," he said.I "Nantes and the Theatre Fewdau." M. Binet choked in the act of drink- ing. The Thetre Fewdau was a sort of provincial Comedie Francaise. "But why not Paris and the Come - die Francaise?" wondered M. Binet, with saroaerie when at last he had got his breath. "That may come later," says im- pudence. "Eh? You've been da-lmking, my friend." But Andre -Louis detailed the plan that had been forming in his mind. "We'll talk of Paris after Nantes," he finished, supremely inatter-of-fact, "just as We will definitely deolde on Nantes after 1edon." The persuasiveness that could sway a mob ended by sweeping M. Binet off his feet. The prospect which Scara- s-nouche unfolded, if terrifying, was also intoxicating. "The thing remains possible," said he then, holding his glass to the light, and speaking catitunlly, "as long as I a,111 With ori,," 4#4. -my dear Scaramoucho, Leandre, it is possible that I might be convincing," "Why, what inspiration do you mean?" "The inspiration of playing to so adorable ur Climene." Her lazy eyes were now alert to search that lean face of his. "You are laughing at me" said she, and swept past him into the theatre on her pretended quest. There was nothing to be done with such a fel- low. He was utterly without feeling. He was not a man at all. Yet when she came forth again at the end of some five minutes, she found him still lingering at the door. "Not gone yet?" she asked him, superciliously. "I was waiting for you, mademoi- selle. You will be walking to the inn. If I might escort you , ." "But what gallantry! What con- descension!" "It arouses you to be cruel," said Scaramouche. "No matter. Shall we walk?" They set out together, stepping briskly to waren their blood against the wintry evening air. Awhile they went In silence, yet each furtively ob- serving the other.

"You have," I said sternly, "ruined four shirts. -You must reimburse me for them." I hesitated. "Pay me money for torn shirts." Mr. Lee did not understand. By and by, however, I mentioned the word "Policeman," and the reimburse- ment was forthcoming. It is the one word I have found that makes an in- stant impression on foreigners.

It tints in 'cold water, you know; just dip the garment and it takes whatever tinge you wish to give it. A matter of minutes. Real dyes will get such smooth and even tones as shame the streaky, wishy-washy work of synthetic pre- parations for the purpose! Diamond dye in original powder form is only fifteen cents at the drugstore. Do your own diluting. Then dip to tint—and you'll have an effect that's beautiful. And if you want the tint permanent, just use boiling water! Diamond dyes do a perfect, "profess atonal" job of dyeing, too; the druggist hies sample shades and simple direc- tions.
