It was late in the afternoon of that perfect August clay when young Rougane presented him- self at the Hotel Plougastel, Madame made up her `Hind at once. M. de Ker!ead'iou's urgent mes- sage no more than confirmed her own fears and inclinations. She decided upon instant departure.

For a moment his point seemed to La Tsar d'Azyr to be everywhere at once, and then from a low engage- ment hi sixte, Andre -Louis stretched forward wit swift and vigorous ease to lunge in tierce. He drove seated in the doorway of the carriage, his point to transfix his opponent whom a series of calculated disen- gages uncovered in that line.

But striking the blade in the hat fraction of a. second, the Marquis deflected the point from the line of ]iie body, yet not so con pletely but that a couple of feet of that hard••oriver .incl tore through the neiseles of his swcrd-arm. To the seconds hone of these de- tails had been visillc. All that they had seen had been a swift whirl of flashing Elides, and then Andre - Louis stretched almost to the ground in an upward lunge that had pierced the Marquis' right arm just below the shoulder. The sword fell from the suddenly relaxed grip of La Tour d'Azyr's fin- gers, which had been rendered power- less, and he stood now disarmed, his lip in his teeth, his face white, his chest heaving, before his opponent, who had at once recovered. With the blood-tinged tip of his sword resting on the ground, Andre -Louis Furveyed hint grimly, as we survey the prey that through our own clum- siness has escaped us at the last moment. In the Assembly and in the news- papers this might be hailed as an- other victory for the Paladin of the Third Estate; only himself could k' ccs the extent and the bitterness ' of the. failure. Andre -Louis at last roused himself, sighed, and turned away to ' resume his garments and left the ground at once. As, with Le Chapelier, he was walking slowly and in silent dejec- tion toward the entrance of the Bois, where they had left their carriage, they were passed by the caleche con- weans;con- weans;La Tour, d'Azyr and his second. And thus it was that he was the first to retut;n, and seeing him thus returning,, apparently safe and sound, the two ladies, intenth neon d lyre^ ent_ ire the encounter, sumed that their worst fears were real;z ed. Mme. dede Prougastel attempted to call out, but her voice refused its office.

Diction of the Authorized Version, as Previously Taught Edinburgh. --"From the point of view of the study of English, 7t is nothing short of, . calamitous that young people should be so much less familiar with the Authorized Version of the Bible than they were, say, in the fifties or sixties of the last cell tory," said Sir, George Macdonaldy when delivering his presidential ad- dress d-dss to the Scottish Branch of the English Association in Edinburgh University recently. In the opinion of the speaker it was not the schools that were reeponsible for this, for it was not in the wheels that past generations of Scottish chil- dren learned to know the Bible. From the point of view of teachers of Eng- lish it was a tremendous loss. The simple and splendid diction of the Authorized Version, the .majestic march of its rhythms, made it a truly noble volume—one of the greatest in any language. To have been familiar. with it from childhood was in itself a priceless literary asset. Turning to the teaching offEnglish its the Scottish universities, Sir George said that Berrie's dictum that "the man of science appears to be the only Finan who has something to say just now and the only one that does, not know how to say, Jt" was too' sweeping. Undoubtedly, _ however, i there wero "men of science" whose style was not that of the masters. There were even some classical sebiol- ars whose record in that respect ems' not above reproach. In the hands of a good teacher the systematic study of even a limited -number of Latin and Greek roots would give pupils an extensive com- mand over the English vocabulary. Combine that with the intelligent reading of plenty of good prose and a sense of style would. develop , almost SHIRRING IS SHOWN ON A DAINTY FROCK FOR THE JUNIOR MISS.

As for Andre -Louis, his godfather's house saw him no more, as a result of his conviction that M. de ICerca- diou would not relent from his re- solve never to receive him again. He threw himself into his duties at the Assembly ith such zeal and effect that when the Constituent was dissolved in September of the follow- ing year, membership of the Legisla- tive, whose election followed imme- diately, was thrust upon him. Of the counter-revolutionaey trou- bles, none were more acute than those of Brittany, and, in view of the in- fluence it was hoped he would wield in his native province, it was pro- posed posed to Andre -Louis by the Commis- sion of Twelve, in the early days of the Girondin ministry, that he should. go thither to combat the unrest.

"Then let your passport be for four, my friend," madame begged him. "There is Jacques," she ex- planed, indicating the footman who had just assisted them to alight. Rougane departed confident of soon returning, leaving them to await him with the same confidence.
