"I've a tittle matter to tallt over with d'Auvaxt. Come, Fan!" They went out togethea- Avon crossed over to the couca where Le- onieasat, and tweaked one of her curls. "Child, you are -strangely silent." "I was thinking," she said gravely. "Of what, ma mi?" "Oh,, I shall not tell you that, Mon- seigneur!" she said, and smiled. "Let us—let us play at picquet until it is time for dinner!" So they played, at picquet, and pre- sently Lady Fanny came in to. ,say goad -night and was gone again in a minute, having adjured Leonie to be sure and retire to bed immediately after dinner. She kissed Leonie ,and was surprised to receive a quick hug from her. Rupert went away with 'Fanny, and Leonie was left alone with the Duke. "They are gone," she said in a cur- ious voice. "Yes, child. What of it?", His Grace dealt the cards with an expert hand. . "Nothing, Monseigneur. I am stup- id to -night" They played on until dinner was served, and then went into the big dining -room, and sat down, together at the table. Avon soon sent the lack- eys away, Whereat Leonie gave a sigh of relief. "That is nice," she remarked. "I like to be alone again. I wonder whether Rupert will lose much money to-niglit?" "We will hope not, infant. You will know by his expression to -morrow." She did not reply, but began to eat a sweetmeat, and did ,not look at his Grace. "You eat too many sweetmeats, ma fills," he said. "It's no wonder you are growing pale." . "You see, Monseigneur, I had never eaten any until you bought me from Jean," she explained_ "J. know, child." • "So now I eat too many," she add- ed. "Monseigneur, I• am very glad that we are alone together, to -night, like this."' "You flatter me," he bowed. "No. Since we came 'back to Paris we, have hardly ever been alone, and I have wanted—oh, ninny times!—to thank you for being so very kind to He frowned down at the walnut he was cracking. "I pleased myself, infant. I believe I told you once before that I am no hero." "Did it please you to make me Your ward -?"she asked. ' • "Evidently, ma tile; else 1 had not done so." "I have been very happy; Monseig- neur." "Ir that is so it is very well," he said. She rose, and put down ber napkin. "I ern growing more and more tir- ed," she said. "I hope Rupert wins to-nigiht. And you." "I always win, child." He opened the door for her, and went with her to the foot of the stairs. "I wish you a. good night's rest, ma belle." She dropped suddenly on one knee; and pressed his hand to her lips and he'd it there a mement. "Merci, Monseigneur. Bonne nuit!" she said huskily. Then she rose a- gain, and ran up the stairs to her chamber. Her maid was there, agog with ex- citement. Leonie shut the 'door care- fully, brushed past the. girl, and flung 'herself on to the bed, and cried as though her heart would break. The abigail hovered over her, soothingand caressing. a— "Oh, mademoiselle, why will you run away like this? Must we go to- night indeed?" • Downstairs the great front door shut; Leonie clasped her hands over her eyes. "Gone! Gone! Ah, Monseigneur, Monseigneur!" She lay battling with her sobs, and presently rose, quiet and resolute, and turned to her maid. "The travelling coach, Marie?" "Yes, mademoiselle, 1 hired • one this morning, and. 'tis to await us at the corner of the road in an hour's time. But it has cost you the best part of six hundred francs, madene oiselle, and the man did not like to start so late. We shall not reach farther than Chartres to -night, he says." "It's no matter. I have enough money left to pay for everything. Bring me paper now, and talc Are you sire ---are you sure that you wish to come with me?" "But yes, mademoiselle!" the girl averred. "M. le Due would be wroth with me an I let you go alone." Leonie looked at her drearly. "I tell you we shall never, never see him again." Marie shook her head sceptically, but merely said that she had quite made up her mind to go with madem- oiselle. Then she fetohed ink and pa- per, and Leonie sat dawn to write her farewell. * • trick her return Lady Fanny Peep- ed into Leonie's room to see whether she slept. She, held her candle high so that the light fell on the bed, and saw that it was Orapty. Something. white lay upon the coverlet; she dart- ed forward, and with a trembling hand held two sealed notes to the candle- light. One was addressed to herself; the other to Avon, Lady Fanny felt suddenly faint, and sank down into a Chair, staring numb- ly at the folded papers. Then she set her candle down Upon the table, and tore open the note that was for her.

Lady Panay flew up out of her chair. "Oh, good God!" she cried. "Le - (Mier Justin! Rupert! Oh, is no one here? Heavens, what shall I do?"

Is his Grace re- turned?" "No, madame, not yet." "Send him to mne in the library as soon as he comes in!" Lady Fanny commanded, and went there herself, and reed Leon1e's note again. Twenty minutes later his Grace en- tered- - "Fanny? What's to do?" "Oh, Justin, Justin!" she said on a sob. "Why did we leave her? She's gone! Gone, I tell you!" His 'Grace strode forward. "Leonie?" he said sharply. "Who else?" demanded my lady. "Poor, poor child! She left this for me, and oneefor you. Take it!" His Grace' broke the seal of his note, and spread out the thin sheet. Lady Panay watched him while he read, and saw his mouth set thard. "Well?" she said. "What does she write to you? For heaven's -sake tell me!" The Duke handed the note to her, and went to the fire, and stared down into it. "MONSEIGNEUR, - "I have run away from you because I have discovered that I am not what you Think me.

His Grace picked up the note, and read it through again. "Poor little infant!" he said softly. "Oh, Justin, we must find her!" sniffed her ladyship. "We shall find her," he answered. "I think I know where she has gone." "Where? 'Can you go after her ? Now? . She is such a babe, and she has only a foolish abigail with her' "I believe that she has gone t/- Anjou." 'His Grace folded the noi(e' and put it into his pocket "She ter...t-et.ft me because she fears to endanger my —reputation. It is somewhat ironic, is it not?" ' Lady Fanny blew her nose vigorous- ly, and gave yet another watery sniff. "She -loves you, Justin." He was silent. "Oh Justin, do you not care? I felt so certain that you loved her!" "I love her—too well to marry her, my dear," said his Grace. "Why?" Lady Fanny put away her handkerchief. "There are so many reasons," sigh- ed his Grace. '"I am too old for her." "Oh, fiddle!" said my lady. . "I thought that maybe- 'twas her birth you cavilled at." "Her birth, Fanny, is as good as yours. She is Saint-Vire's legitimate daughter." - Lady Fanny gaped, at him. "In her place be has put the clod you know as de Valme. His name is Bonnard. I have waited too long, but I strike now." He pick -ed up a hand- bell and rang it. To the lackey who Came he said: "Von' *Ill got at once to the Hotel de Chatelet, and request M. Marling and' M. Davenant to re- turn at onee. Ask Milor' Merivale to accompany them.

Avon showed his young brother Le- onie's letter. Rupert read it, exclaim- ing at intervals. When he. came to the end he snatched his wig from his head, threw it upon the floor and stamped on it, saying various things beneath his breath that made Lady Palmy clap her hands over her ears. "If you don't have his blood, for this, Justin, Lethal'!" the said at last, picked up his wig, and put it on his head again. '"May he rot in hell for a black scoundrel! Is she his bas- tard" "She is not," said Avon. "She is his legitimate daughter. I have sent for Hugh and Marling. It is time that You all knew my infant's story." "Left !her love for me, bless her!" choked Rupert. "Where is she? Are we to set off at once? Only give the word, Justin, and I'm ready!" "I do not doubt it, child, but we do not start to -day. I believe I know whither she has gone; she will be safe enough. Before I bring her back she shall be righted in the eyes of the world." Rupert glanced down at the letter in his hand. "I -cannot bear that I should bring scandal to you," he read. "Burn it, your life's one long scandal! And she—Devil take it, I could cry like a woman so I could!" He gave the letter back to the Dnke.

Oa HONOURABLE EARL ROWE States His Party's Stand on Labor -., The national policy of the Liberal -Conservative Party, Provincial and Dominion, for many years has been to create industry for the purpose of providing work and -wages for labor and a profitable home market for the farmer; the lumberman and other primary producers. The Party's ,sympathetic attitude towards labor is evi- denced by the Social legislation on our statute books. ' The Liberal -Conservative Party believes that labor should receive a fair share of the fruits of industry and is entitled to organize in order to improve the lot of the worker as regards wages, hours, security in old age and all- other conditions of ' industrial lif The Liberal -Conservative Party reaffiin rs its traditional poli4 of in- sisting upon the maintenance of law and order in all industrial disputes and pledges itself firmly and scrupulously to uphold the laws' of Canada. The Liberal -Conservative Party in Ontario stands for the following: I. The right of employees to bargain collectively through their" own representatives chosen without dictation, coercion or intimidation. 2. It is and has for many decades been a fact that both capital and labor are International in their organization. Accordingly the right of the worker to belong to the union of his choosing, Canadian or International, craft or industrial, is fully established; provided always that, the unions must observe, and that capital must observe, in all their actions, the taws of Canada. 3. The Liberal -Conservative Party is unalterably op- posed to the introduction into Ontario of sit-down strikes, sabotage or other violations of our law, and for the purpose of clarity hereby places itself on record as being opposed to such illegalities whether they are introduced into Ontario by labor unions affiliated with the C. I. 0., the A. F. of L., or any other organizatioh, capital or labor. 4. That representatives from other countries, both of capital and labor, Shall be subject on the same principles as other people to our immigration laws and that. they shall when admitted to this country, strictly observe 'the laws of the land. 5. The primary function of the state in all industrial disputes is FIRST -L -to take no sides and to maintain law and order without the display of unrpce.sary or provocative force, and SECOND, to enact and impar- tially administer adequate legislation for the conciliation of industrial disputes. 6. The right to work in Canada is not dependent upon membership in any organization. 7. That no strike shall take place until all reasonable methods of conciliation are exhausted and the worker should have the right of secret ballot free from improper influence or coercion in all decisions relating to the dispute. 8. The Liberal -Conservative Party will continue in the future as in the past to defend the principle of freedom of association within the law. The party re -affirms its belief that the essence of democracy is trust 'in the people and to\ rely on freedom and not in dictatorship, that public pinion may be Jed but not driven and that the greatest safeguard of orderly progress and reform is the sound common sense -of all classes of the Canadian people. have stated frankly and fearlessly my party's policy toward labor and law enforce- ment. I stand now, as always, for law and order, for all, under all circumstances. This policy is the democratic British method and I shall apply these principles in the administration of our provincial affairs. Leader of the Lilberal-Conservative Party in Ontario 1
