to know nothing. To have to sit

."You're too devilish tricky for me,
Justin. I want a hand in the affair"
"No." Hugh shook his head. "Let

are too many of us to coin with ham,
and -there's a peoverb that says `too
many cooks spoil the broth.' Fsm not
usually bloodthirsty, but I do not want

"I want to see him crushed," said
Merivale. "Anti that soon!" • `

"Yes, but I've not the heart to go.,"
sighed my Iady. "It wilh,'be so bril-
liant too, and I did want Leonde to
be there!"
"Nevertheless, . my dear, you will go
with us all. Calm yourself, Rupert.
Your part was played•, and played
well, at Le Havre. Now it is my
turn. Fanny, you are tired out. Go
to bed now; you cannot do anytidng
yet."
"I must go back to de 'Chatelet "
said Merivale, Re gripped Avon's
hand. -, "Act up to your name now,
Satanas, if ever you ,did! • We are all

"Even I;" said Marling with a smile.
"You may be as devilish as you please

Rupert; hearing, choked in the act

"Demme, I .boil with rage when I

Fanny fled incontinently from the

CHAPTER XXX
His Grace of Avon .Trumps the
Comte's Ace
The Marlings came early to Ma-
dame du -Deffand's house, and were
followed' shortly-. by • Merivale.and
Hugh Revenant. Madanve du Dffand
wanted to know what had become of
Leonie, and was informed that she
was indisposed, and had remained at
•home. Rupert presently arrived in
company with d'Anvau and Lavoulere
and was twitted by several people.
Madame du- Deffand included', onrhis
appearance • at; such a function. i►
"Doubtless you are come to read us
a madrigal or a rondeau," Madame
teased him. "Faites voir, milor',
faites voi:r!"
"I? No, b'Gad!" Rupert said. "I've
never written a verse in my life! I'm
come to listen, madame."
She laughed at him.
"You will be so bored, my poor
friend! Bear with us!','' She moved
away for greet) a fresh arrival- •

played at one end of the room, Meri-

Hugh shrugged.
"I've scare* set eyes em.: brims, 411 day:
He starts for Anjou immediately after
this party,,, ....
"Then.die means to strike to -night,"
Merivale looked round- . "I eaiw Arm -
end ,de Saint Vire a moment ago. Is
the Comte re?"
"Not yet, I , think, but I am told
that both he and his wife are com-
ing. Justin will have a large audi-
ence°"
The rooms were filling speedily.
Merivale preesently. heard 'a footman
announce Conde. Behind the Prince
came the Saint Vires, .and, the March-
erands, and the Duc and Duchess de
le Roque A young exquisite ap-
proaeheds Fanny and demanded Ma-
demoiselle de Bonnard. On •being told
that she was not present his face fell
considerably, and he confided mourn-
fully to my lady that he had written
a madrigal to Leonde's eyes which he
had intended to read to -night. My
lady comrmisel°ated him, and turned
to find Conde at her elbow.
"Madame!" He bowed. ' "But
where is Ta petite?"
Lady Fanny repeated Leone's ex-
cuses, and was requested to bear a
graceful message to her charge. Then
Conde moved away to joins in a game
of bouts.'rhymes•, and the wail of the
violins died down to a murmur.
It was just as Madame du Deffand
had called upon M. de la Douaye to
read his latest poems that some slight
stir arose by - the door; and bis Grace
of Avon came .in. He wore the dress
he hadnce'worn at Versailles, cloth
of goI -shimmering in the candle-
light. A great emerald in the lace
at his throat gleamed balefully, an-
other flashed on his finger. At his
side was a light dress sword; in one
hand he carried his scented handker-
chief, .and a snuff-bt,x •studded with
tiny emeralds, and from one wrist
hung a fan of painted• chicken -skin
mounted upon gold sticks.
Those who were near the door
drew back to let shim pass and for a

ty ffgure, dwarfing the Fi+ a-

ease, even a' i14tje disdaipf*He rats -
ed his quizzing glass and; } wept a
glance round the room.. •
"By Gad, he's a magnifcent devil,
'poi.. my soul •he Is!" esid`'Rupert to
Merivale. "Demme if I've ever. sena
him look more regal!"
"What a dress!" seid Fanny, her
husband's ear.' "You campedeny,.
Edward', that he is truly handsome."
"14e has • a presence," conceded
Marling.
Avon went forward acrossfhe room
and bowed over his hostesss'a hand.
"Late as usual!" she scolded him.
"Oh; and you stilt have a fan; I see!
.4Peseur ! You are just in time to hear
M. de la Douaye read • to ' us . his
poems."
"The luck always favors me, ma-
dame," he said, and inclined his head
to the young poet. -"May: we beg
m'sieur, to read us his li address-,
ed to the Flower in her air?"
La Douaye flushed whit ;pleasure;
and bowed. -
"I am ,honored that that; 'so poor
trifle should still be remembered," he
said, and went to stand before the
fireplace °with 'a Troll of papers in his
hand.
His Grace crossed slowly to the
Duchesse de la Roque's couch, and
sat down beside her. His eyes flick-
ered to. Merivale's face, ' and from
thence to the door. Unostentatiously
Merivale linked hi,a arm in, Davenant's
and moved with him to a sofa that
.toed by the door.
"Avon makes me feel nervous,"
murmured Davenant. "An impres-
sive entrance; 'a striking dress, and
that in his manner"that sends a chill
down one's back. You feel it?"
"I do. He means to hold the stags
tonight." Merivale spoke lower still
for La Douaye's liquid voice sounded
in the first line of his poem. "Be
sent me to sit there. If you can catch
Rupert's eye signal' to him .;to go --to
the other door." He crossed bis
legs and fixed his attention on La

something nervous. Saint -Vire, with
the knowledge of his own guilt, must
feel a thousand times more so. Rup-

"Devil a bit!" answered Rupert
cheerfully. • He lowered his voice.
"I'll tell you somethinig, though. This
is the last soiree FU attend. Did you

rhymes?" lie shook his head severe-
ly. "Y'know 14 ought not to be allow-

"You'll agree- that he is something

"Poet, be damned!" said Rupert.
"He's walking about with a rose in

ed indignantly, and saw to his horror
that a portly gentleman was prepar-
ingto read an essay on Love. "God
save us all, who's this old Turnip-

"Hush, child!" whispered Lavoulere,

cried Conde, and went to , peep
through the . doorway.: "Shale you

M. de. Foquemalle came at last to
his peroration; Madame du Deffand
headed the compliments that shower-
ed upon him; : de Marcheranud started•
a discussion on• M. de Foquemalie's
opinions: A lull fell presently and
lackeys came ' in • with refreshments.
Learned• arguments gave way to idle

duced a dice -box and began surrepti-

"More commands?" inquired' my

His Grace waved, his fan languidly
to and fro, •
"But one more command," he sigh-
ed. "Just keep our amiable friend

passed on to speak to Madame de

Ontario's Man of ctIon
•
OLD MAN ONTARIO speaks for the great mass of our
citizens when he says, "Thank you, Mitch".
Only too well he 'remembers the sorry plight into which bad
government had brought this great province three years ago.
Spendthrift politicians were dragging us deeper and deeper
into debt. Their millionaire friends were being allowed to fleece -
the public treasury. Every department of the public services
was honeycoinbed with an army- of hangers-on..
It was then the people turned ,to Hepburn in the hope he
could and would carry out th4; promises he made. Perhaps .
skeptics may have attributed some of his promises to youthful
enthusiasm -but Hepburn kept his word -he's Ontario's Man
of Action. a '' -
Today Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn submits the most
successful record any Ontario Prime Minister ever presented
before the bar of public opinion.
Hepburn E rns the Gratitude
of the ° Electorate
HEhas earned the thanks of practically every man, woman
and child in the province.
Wealthy beneficiaries of estates which had been allowed to
mulct the province to the tune of 22 million dollars -will not
thank him for recovering that huge sum -but ' nearly everybody
else will.
Timber profiteers rue the day on which Hepburn came to
Queen's Park -but the people of the North rejoice when they
see large new ,industries springing, up and old ones reviving.
They join Old Man Ontario in his enthusiastn for the ending of
Unemployment in the timber area and for turning George
Henry's deficits into surpluses.
"Big Business" may, not be singing Hepburn's praises -but
the common people appreciate the. fact that he saved them
millions in interest rates.
Hepburn Saves Hydro ,
IP• the Quebec power barons had a vote in Ontario, it would
certainly not go to Hepburn -but Ontario knows that the
Government's ;, 1ydro policy not only saved this great enterprise
from ruin, but that it has already saved over ,fel r million dollars
to Hydro lasers, and the new Contracts will eventually effect total
savings to the province of over six million dollars a year.
Profiteers from the liquor toll gate that I-Iepburn promised
to abolish will not be on his side -but the people approve his
prohibition of the sale of liquor in restaurants which the Henry
Government would have permitted.
Hepburn Proves to be
The Tax -Payer's Friend
ITT HAT "Thank you, Mitch" covers a wide range of public
services, all administered with an efficiency and economy
hitherto unkniown. i
It says:
"Thanks" for the lessening of muihicipal burdens -that mill on
the tax rate, the increase in 'tor-znship road subsidies, the assump-
tion and increase of Mothers' Allowances and the assumption of
Old Age Pensions.
"Thanks" for the abolition of the amusement tax.
"Thanks" for preventing the exploitation of labour by
riotous aliens. -
"Thanks" for the advanced labour legislation, such as -
industrial standard codes, extending minimum wage laws to
men, and setting up a tribunal to ensure a square deal to em-
ployees and employers. This new Industry and Labour Board
has already justified its creation by effecting settlements in
several disputes of long standing.
"Thanks" for the modernizing and extension of our high-
ways, and for promoting tourist trade on a greater sca a than
ever before. .,
"Thanks" for the improvement in the
preventive measures for the health of the
people, and fol the better .care of the sick
-physical and mental.
"Thanks" for the, progress of education
in Ontario, and for assuming the costs of
examination fees.
"Thanks" for the advancement of every
Department within the jurisdiction of a Pro-
' i'incial Government.
Symbol of a grateful people, Old Man
Ontario speaks for the great mass of ' our
citizens when he says, "Carry On,.Hepbutn".
