Rupert pour. ed •out another, glass of. burgundy: ."You're too devilish tricky for me, Justin. I want a hand in the affair" "No." Hugh shook his head. "Let Avon play his. game to a close, There are too many of us to coin with ham, and -there's a peoverb that says `too many cooks spoil the broth.'

"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 with, you." "Even I;" said Marling with a smile. "You may be as devilish as you please for -saint-Vire is the worst kind of villain I have had the ill -luck to meet." Rupert; hearing, choked in the act of drinking his third glass of bur- gundy. "Demme, I .boil with rage when I think of hits!" .he swore. "Leonie called him pig -person, but 'fore Gad he's worse than that! He's----!" Fanny fled incontinently from the room. • 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!

"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 • meilliii he steed alone, a ?r ea:ere , ty ffgure, dwarfing the Fi+ a- bout :hien He was ,eoley at his 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."

"You'll agree- that he is something of a poet neverttheless?" smiled Hugh. "Poet, be damned!" said Rupert. "He's walking about with a rose in 'ons hand! A rose, Tony!" He snort- 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- Top?"- he demanded irreverently - "Hush, child!" whispered Lavoulere, wbo wee standing near by. "It is the great M. de Foquemafe!" M. de Foquemalle began to roll forth impressive periods- ] upert edg- ed along the wall towards the smal- ler salon, with a look of comical dis- may en his face.

"De Foquemalte, 1,11. lay :a'. pony!" cried Conde, and went to , peep through the . doorway.: "Shale you brave' it,. Thin?". - t 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 chatter. Ladies, sipping negus and Waite, talked of toilettes, . and the new mode of dressing the hair; Rup- ert, near the door . he guarded, pro- duced a dice -box and began surrepti- tiously to play with a few intimates. His Grace strolled over to . where Merivale stood. "More commands?" inquired' my lord. ' "I see Fanny has Madame de Saint -Viae in close conversation." His Grace waved, his fan languidly to and fro, • "But one more command," he sigh- ed. "Just keep our amiable friend away from his wife, my dear." He passed on to speak to Madame de Vauvallon, and, was presently lost in the crowd. Lady Fanny was complimenting Madame de Saint -Vire on her gown. ' "I declare, that shade ofblue is positively ravishing!" she said: "I searched the town for just such a taffeta not so long ago. that lady in puce ag to may she be?" • "It ie -I believe it. to Madame, de Clone," Madame, rePiied The vi Comte de Valmiesame up-; r:"H-en4'i you have:seen- *aur father?'-' ' "Yes, madame, he is: with de Slkate-. let and another, over there ".:1e boor- ed to Fanny.

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".
