La• Tour d'Azyr writhed_ at the well- known phrase -his own phrase—the phrase that he had used to explain his action in the matter of Philippe de Vilnorin, the phrase that from time to time had been cast in his teeth with such vindictive menace. Solemnly he proceeded. "You all know how Lagron died.

There was a faint murmur of ap- plause from the Left, a splutter of contemptuous laughter froini the Right. "Rhodonont!" a voice called•toi'iim. He looked in the 'direction of that voice, proceeding from the group of spadassnns amid the Blacks. Inaudiibly his lips answered: "No, my friend— Scaramouche; Scaramouche, the subtle dangerous fellow who goes tortuously to his ends." Aloud, he resumed: "M. le • • fannilar to Andre -Louis. blood be upontheir own heads.

Andre -Louis nodded. He was think- ing of Philippe de Vilniorin. "Yes," ho said, •"it is an old trick of theirs.

"w CJ CHAPTER VI. After an absence of rather more than a week, M. le Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr was back in his place on the Cote Droit of the National Assembly. "M. Andre -Louis Moreau, deputy suppleant, vice Emmanuel Lagron, deceased, for Anciene in the Depart,- Ment epartnieilt of the Loire." M. de La 'Y'our d'Azyr s1 ook`hiin- self out of the gloomy abstraction in which he had sat, The successor of the deputy he had slain must, in any event, be an object of grim interest to him. That interest was:leightened when he heard hint named, when, look- ing ooking across; he recognized indeed in this, Andre -Louis Moreau the young scoundrel who was continually cross- ing his path, continually exerting against him a deep -moving, sinister influence to metre him regret that he should have spared hint life that day at Gavrillac two years ago. - Ho looked at the young man in won- der rather than in anger, and looking at him- he was filled by a vague, 'el - mast a premonitory, uneasiness. At the very outset, the presence which in itself he coneeivod to be a cha11onge was to demonstrate itself for this in no equivocal tering. "I coupe before you," Andre -Louis began, "as a deputy-suppleant to fill the place of +me who was murdered Some three weeks ago." It was a challenging .opening: that instantly provoked an indignant out - dry front the Blacks. Andre -Louie paused and looked at them, tirniling a little, a eitngulariy self-confident young man, "The gentlennen of the Right, M. •leeVresitlent, der not appear to like my warn them that this blood" will end by choking thein." - Again in that phrase there was something that stirred a memory. in La Tour d'Azyr. He turned in the fresh uproar to speak to his cousin Chnbriilane who sat beside him. - "A daring rogue, this bastard of Gavrillec'o," said he. Chabrillane looked at .himwith gleaming eyes, his face white with anger. "Let him talk htiinself out. I don't think he will be heard again after to- day. Leave this to me." Hardly could La Tour have told why, but he sank back in his seat with a sense of relief. ' Meanwhile, leaving now the subject of the death of Lagron, thedeputy- suppleant was speaking upon the question under debate. His speech on the subject was very brief• --that being the pretext and not the purpose for which he had ascended the tribune. "When later he was leaving the hall at the end of the sitting, with Le Oha- peli.er at his side, he found himself densely surrounded by deputies at • by a body -guard.

Walter Grant Morden, Conservative M.P., for Brant- ford and Chiswick inquired in the House of Common recently about the. absence of telephone service between Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada. "Why," Cos, Morden asked, "has telephone service between Great Britain and practically ail parts of the United States, yet no provision has been made for telephone connec- tion with Canada?" The postmaster -general, Sir William Mitchell Thomson, replied that the question of extending the transatlantic telephonerservice to the Dominion was under discuss ion at present .between the imlperiai and Canadian govern- ments.

Charms of Music Tested at Zoo - 1 Wolves and Rhino Resentful, Snakes Indifferent --But Crocodiles Enthuse A recent experiment at the London Zoo has 'proved that William Con- greve was only partly right when he wrote: - Music bath charms to' soothe the sav- age breast, - To - soften rocks or bend a knotted Thea000 orchestra, that visited the zoo for the - purpose of testing the "lower animals" love afmusic consisted of two violins,, c.n oboe, a, #lute and a mouth organ. Inturn the orchestra plaYed to animals, birds,. and reptiles. The reaction of the inhabitants of the zoo is illuminating, but by no means conclusive; for the question as to whether the lower forms of ,life real- ly like man-made ,music remains un- solved. Certain animals definitely did not like the music.- The rhinoceros, for instance, found all tunes unwelcome. They tried the "Moonlight Sonata" on him and he expressed disapproval. Then the .orchestra switched to "Tea for Two" and he attempted to charge his would-be entertainers. The sea lions, on the contrary, showed keen delight in all except the Jazz. They prefer old-fashioned music; - hearing it they stopped their frolicking and became positively dreamy. The beasts of the wolf family de- cided that the best way of offsetting such sound is to drown them out. - Consequently, when - the orchestra played a tune in a minor key the wolves and jackals pointed their noses to the sky and thundered a chorus. The minor key seemed to be the most disliked. The cheetah showed discrimina- tion. He appeared'to like "I Want to Be Happy," but when the orchestra switched to Goiinbd's "Funeral March" he showed discontent, even alarm. -. The crocodile proved that he is misunderstood. Even crocodile tears may be more genuine than we sup- pose. The crocodiles never failed to come to the bank and •listen raptur- ously to every tune offered. The am- phibian. mphibian inhabitants of every pond crowded upon the banks and, with head lifted, seemed to absorb the music with earnest satisfaction. As a class the insects paid scant attention, although the .scorpions ands certain species of spiders manifested. delight. The snake charmer is supposed to charm his victim through the agency of music. Indian magicians in the East sway from side to side and make plaintive music to the cobra. The re- cent experiment in the snake house of the London Zoo proved that snakes pay no attention., whatever to music. The music of the Indian magician, it would appear, is entirely for the bene- fit of his human audience, What charms the snake --if anything does —seems to be the rhytbmic motions of the charmer. Mosquitos like their own music. The male mosquito is much more sus- ceptible to the "sing" than is the fe- male. Start a dynamo that buzzes softly and the male mosquitos flock to it in millions, E. G. Boulenger, director of the Zoological Society's aquarium, says, apropos of the recent experiment "Apparently one beast's music is another's discord, and what enthralls the emotional sea lion exasperates the phlegmatic rhino. Animal songs that strike us as mere noises may tear the heartstrings of the creatures intended to hear them. The h.owi of the tomcat and the screech of the barn owl from the dead oak are.equal- ly approved by 'specialized audiences.' It is difficult to say exactly where 'melody 'begins and `noise' ends, "There can be no doubt that some animals are fascinated by music. Ani- mal appreciation of human music is an uncertain quantity, and not al- ways flattering' in its expression; but most animals enjoy the music of their own kinds—especially 'love songs,' Practically all birds become vocal during the mating season. One animal, the porcupine, lures his bride by rattling special sound -producing quills. Although the experiment at the zoo produced some new data, the project itself is not new. Darwin had a trom- bone played in the presence - of cer- tain growling plants. The plants showed no interest in the musical program. - and responded only to the #auric of the winds. - Back through' the centuries we find numerous evidences of man's belief that music tames. John Codrington Bampfylde agreed with Congreve, for he wrote: - "Rugged the breast that innate cannot, tame." Milton says: "Songs charm the sense." Earlier, Boethies , called a person unmoved by music "au ass before the harp" --indicating that hie took little stock in a beast's Iove of nurse, Cie - Himself. to anything yourself most All Even "What ;did father say when you told him you were going to take me away from lelnn?"
