Andre -Louis stepped back. His
eyes gleamed a moment; the ,next
they were smiling up into the face of
his tall enemy.
"No better than the others, after
all! Well! Well! Remark, I beg you,
how history repeats itself—with cer-
tain differences.. Because poor Vil-
morin could not bear a vile lie with
which you goaded him, he struck you.
Because you cannot bear an equally
vile truth which I have uttered, you
strike me. But always is the vileness
yours. And now as then for the
striker there is . • ." He broke off.
"But there. I will meet you if you
desire it, monsieur."
"What else do you suppose that I
desire? To talk?"
Andre -Louis turned to his friends
and sighed. "So that I am to go an-
other jaunt to the Bois. Isaac, per-
haps you will kindly have a word

Marquis', and arrange for nine o'clock

On the near side sat a swarthy

be said of young birds such as wild

"Now let me write my mother's life,
just roughly. Her father was a great
scholar of the ancient Chinese clas-

her Katsu. Tlie meaning of Katsu
was from some ancient Chinese odes.
He wrote that ode on a parchment.-

ing eyes of M. de La Tour d'Azyr,
and made no shift to use his ad-
vantage.
"Come, come, monsieur!" he bade
him sharply. "Am I to run my blade
through anuncovered man?" Delib-
erately he fell back, whilst his shaken
opponent recovered himself at last.

When the vine of Katsu grows in the
