Why.
BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
To escape hanging on the charge
of sedition, Andre -Louis Moreau flees
from his native town of Gavrillac
and hides his identity as a member of
a band of strolling players in which
he makes a great success in the char-
acter of Scaramouche.
His flight has caused him to delay
revenge on the great and powerful
Marquis de La Tour D'Azyr, who
tricked Andre's dearest friend, Phil-
ippe de Vilmorin, a divinity student,
into a duel and then killed him be-
cause he feared the idealist's "danger -
out gift of eloquence." Over the dead
body of his friend, Andre -Louis swore
to carry on his work of reforming
the lot of the peasants.
Scaramouche, as Andre -Louis is
now called, falls in love with Cumene,
daughter of the owner of the troupe
and tries to forget the beautiful
Aline de Kercadiou, whom, he thinks,.
will marry the Marquis. Cumene
treats him with coldness.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Coming later into that upstairs
room that was common to all the
troupe. Andre -Louis found M. Binet
talking loudly and vehemently. As
he entered Binet broke off short, and
wheeled to face him.
"I await . your explanations of the
disgraceful scene you provoked to-
night."
"Disgraceful? Is it disgraceful
that the public should applaud me?"
"The public? The rabble, you
mean . After the play to -night M. de
La Tour d'Azyr came to me, and
spoke to me in the severest terms
about your scandalous outburst. I
was forced to apologize and . . "
"The more fool you," said Andre-
Louis. "A man who respected himself
would have shown that gentleman the
door." M. Bind's face began to em -
purple.
"And I say further," Andre -Louis
went on; "that a man who respects
himself on quite other grounds, would
have been only too glad to have seized
this pretext to show M. de La. Tour
d'Azyr the door."
"What do you mean by that?"
There was a rumble of thunder in
the question.
Andre -Louis' eyes swept round the
company assembled at the supper -
table. "Where is Clemene?" he asked,
sharply.
Leandre leapt up to answer him,
white in the face, tense and quiver-
ing with excitement.
"She left the theatre in the Mar-
quis de La Tour d'Azyr's carriage
immediately after the performance.
We heard him offer to drive her to
this inn."
"That would be an hour ago—
rather more. And she has not yet
arrived?"
"Not yet."
"Ah 1" Andre -Louis sat down, and
poured himself wine. There was an
oppressive silence in the room.
Platters were pushed toward. him.
He helped himself calmly to food,
and ate in silence, apparently with a
good appetite.
At long length came a rumble of
wheels below and ,a rattle of halting
hoofs. Then voices, the high, trilling
laugh of Climene floating upwards.
t
Andre -Louis went on eating uncon-
cernedly.
She came in, a leading lady taking
the stage, head high, chin thrust for-
ward, eyes dancing with laughter;
she expressed triumph and arrogance.
Her cheeks were. flushed, and there
was some disorder in the mass of
nut -brown hair that crowned her
head. In her left hand she carried an
enormous bouquet of white camelias.
On its middle finger a diamond of
great price drew almost at once by
its effulgence the eyes of all.
Her father sprang to meet her with
an unusual display of paternal ten-
derness. "At last, my child!"
He conducted her to the table. She
sank into a chair, a little wearily, a
little nervelessly, but the smile did.
not leave her face, not even when
she glanced across at Scaramouche..
Andre -Louis, however, still went on
eating stolidly, without so much as
a look in her direction. Gradually
the company' came to realize that just
as surely as a scene was brooding,
just so surely would there be no scene
as long as they remained. Within
"I bow to your Choice; mademoi-
selle, I pray that you may not re-
gret it."
"Regret it'"" cried M, Binet. He
was laughing, relieved do see his
daughter at last rid of this suitor of
whore he had never approved, if we
except those few hours when he real-
ly believed him to be an eccentric of
distinction. "And what shall she re-
gret? hat she accepted the protec-
tion of a nobleman so powerful and
wealthy that as a mere trinket he
gives her a jewel worth as much as
an actress earns in a year at the
Comedie Francaise?" '
Andre -Louis, looked .at hint in si-
lence for .a long moment. Then he
laughed again. "Oh, you are fantas-
tic," he said. "You are not real." He
turned on his, heel and strode to the
door,
Andre -Louis turned, his hand upon
the door -handle. "No," he said, "I
Was mistaken. You aro not fantas-
tic. You are just vile—both of you."
And he went out,

CHAPTER X.
Twenty-four hours with La Binet
had been more than enough for the
fastidious and discerning taste of M.
de La Tour d'Azyr. • He looked back
upon the episode with nausea—mar-
veling at himself that until yestezday
he should have found her so desirable,
and cursing himself that for the sake
' of that ephemeral and worthless
gratification he should seriously have
imperiled his chances of winning
Mademoiselle de Kercadiou to wife.
The Chevalier de Chabrillane sat
opposite to him in the enormous
;traveling berline. 'As they were rat-
• Cling over the cobbles of Nantes'
streets he remembered a promise to
La Binet to witness her perforrnance
that night in "The Faithless Lover."
He had led the mercenary little
strumpet—it was thus he thought of
her at present, and with some justice
—to expect favors from him in addi-
tion to the , lavish awards which al-
ready he had made her. The baggage
had almost sought to drive a bargain
with him as to her future. It become
necessary now to come to an under-
standing, since he was compelled to
choose between his trivial passion for
her—a passion quenched already—
and his deep, almost spiritual devotion
to Mademoiselle de Kercadiou.

CHUCKLED
BINET,
two minutes none remained in the!
rem but M. Binet, his daughter, and
Alidre-Louis. And then, at last,'
Andre -Louis set down knife and fork, ,
washed his throat with a draught of
Burgundy, and sat back in his chair
to consider Climene.
"I trust," said he, "that you had
a pleasant ride, mademoiselle,"
"Most pleasant, monsieur." Im-
pudently she strove to emulate his
coolness, but did not completely suc-
ceed.
"And not unprofitable, if I may,
judge that jewel at this distance;
worth a formidable sum even to so
wealthy a nobleman as M. de La Tour
d'Azyr. Would it be impertinent in
one who has some notion of becoming
your husband, to ask you, mademoi-!
selle, what you have given him in
return':"
M. Binet uttered a gross laugh, a
queer mixture of cynicism and eon -:
Itempt,
"I have given nothing," said Cli-
mene, indignantly,
"Ali! Then the jewel is in the na-
ture cf a payment in advance," I
"My God, male, you're not decent!"
M. Binet protested. 1
"Decent?" Andre -Louis' smoulder-
ing eyes turned to discharge upon M.'
Binet such a fulmination of contempt
that the old scoundrel shifted uncom- I
fortably in his chair. "Did you men-
tion decency, Binet? Almost you make
me lose my temper." Slowly his
glance returned to Climene. "Made-
moiselle," he said, slowly, "I desire
you purely in your own interests to
consider whither you are going."
"I am well able to consider for
mysc"lf, and to decide without advice
from you, monsieur;"
"And now. you've got your answer,"
chuckled Binet. "I hope you like it."
Andre -Louie had paled a little;
there Was incredulity in his great
sombre oyes as they contintled stead-
ily to regard her. Of M, Binet he
took ne tottce.
He pulled the cord. The carriage
rolled to a standstill; a footman ap-
peared at the door.
"To the Theatre Feydau," said he,
The great traveling carriage drew
up at the lighted portals of the Fey-
dau, and M. le Marquis stepped out.
He entered the theatre with Chabril-
Ilene, all unconsciously to deliver him-•
self into the hands of Andre -Louis.
In the interval after the second
act, Andre -Louis sought the dressing -
room shared by Polichinelle and Rho-
domont Polichinelle was in the(act
of changing.
"I shouldn't trouble to change," he
said. "The piece isn't likely to go
beyond my opening scene of the next
act with Leandre."
He was gone. Rhodomont stared
at Polichinelle. Polichinelle stared at
Rhodomont.

"CA NADA"
We, Canadians may well be proud of
our country. Less than four hundred
years ago Jacques Cartier raised the
Fleur-de-lis at Gaspe, thus_ o'laizning
the land in the name of the King of
France; but he little dreamed of the
'vast territory that stretched away to
the Pacific. Until the ooming of the
English the St. Lawrence valley and
the Maritimes were the only settled
parts of Canada. To -day she occupies
more than half a continent. It has
been said that she 'covers so much sur-
fce that all the climates of Europe are
found; within her borders. True, only a
narrow strip along the southern edge
has ` been brought under cultivation

Under the early British rule the Gov-

regime. The "new subjects" as th•c'
French. Canadians were called were
well satisfied with this system, having
known nothing better; but the "old
subjects" com,pdained continually, for
they had abeolutedy no share in the
government. However, with the
Loyalists there came a change. Owing
to these agitation the Constitutional
Aot, which -gave a measure of self
government, was passed in 1791.
