There were two burning motives in the heart of Andre -Louis Moreau which drove him to seek vengeance on the great noble of Brittany, the Marquis de la Tour D'Azyr, who was suing for the hand of the young and beautiful Aline de Kercadiou, niece of the Lord of Gavrillac, Quentin de Kercadiou, who was popularly believed to be Andre -Louis' father. But more .burning hatred of the Marquis had been caused by his brutal murder of Andre -Louis' dear- est friend, the young and idealistic Philippe de Vilmorin, a divinity student. The Marquis ` believed that Philippe had a "dangerous gift of eloquence" arid fearing that the rumblings of discontent- which were making way for the French Revolu- tion would bring danger to his class deliberately provoked a duel and killed the young student. Andre -Louis decides to set out for Rennes and lay the case before the King's Lieutenant. GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VX. It was on a horse hired from the Breton Arine that Andre -Louis set out next morning; and an hour's brisk ride brought him to the city of Bermes. Ile rode into the upper and prin- cipal part of that important city of some thirty thousand souls and came at last to the Place Royale, where he " found the crowd to be most dense. From the plinth of the equestrian sta- tue of Louis XV. a white-faced young man was excitedly •addressing the multitude. His youth and dress pro- claimed the student, and a group of his fellows acting as a guard of honor to him kept the immediate precincts of the statue. Over the heads of the crowd Andre - Louis caught - a Sew of the phrases flung forth by that eager voice. "It was the promise of the King It is the Ring's authority they float ... They rrrogate to them- selves the whole sovereignty in 1;tit- lany. The Ring has dissolved them . These insolent nobles defying their sovereign and the people ..:' Had he not known already of the events which had brought the ."Third Estate to the point of active revolt, those few phrases would fully have informed him. This popular display of temper was most opportune to his heed, he thought. He put up his Hired horse at the Corne de Cerf, and set out to the Palais de Justice. That the King's lieutenant conde- scended to see hint at all was probably due to the grave complexion of the hour. At last he was ushered into a fine, well -lighted room furnished with enough gilt and satin to have sup- plied the boudoir of a lady of fashion. It was a trivial setting for a King's Lieutenant, but about the Ring's Lieutenant there was—at least to ordinary eyes—nothing trivial. At the far end of the chamber, before a goat -legged writing -table with Wat- teau panels, sat that exalted being. Above a scarlet coat with an order flaming on its breast, and a. billow of •,`l s s .,.Say The Itifov'1® Stara So say all whose work is !hard after they try the deli- cious,'invigorating refresh- ttlen; of Wrigley's Double i8BUE No. 16—'27. lase in which diamonds sparkled like drops ofwater, sprouted the massive powdered head of M. de Lesdiguieres. It was thrown back to scowl with ex- pectant arrogance. M. de Lesdiguieres considered him very sternly. "What is your name?" he asked. "Andre -Louis Moreau." "Well, Andre -Louis Moreau, if you can state your plea briefly, I will hear you." "You shall be 'the judge of that, monsieur," said Andre -Louis, and he proceeded at once to state his case, beginning with the shooting of Ma- bey, and passing thence to the killing of M. de Vilmorin. But he withheld until the end the name of the great gentleman against whom he demand- ed justice. "And who, sir, is the man you charge with this?" "The Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr." "Who?" he shouted, and without waiting for an answer, "Why, here's impudence," he stormed on, "to come before me_ with such a charge against a gentlemap of M. de La Tour d'Azyr's eminence! How dare you speak of him as a coward ..." "I speak of him as a murderer," the young man corrected. "And I demand justice against him." "You demand it, do you? My God, what next?" "I have informed you, monsieur, that a duel—so-called—has been fought, and a man killed. It seems that I must remind you, the adminis- trator of the King's justice, that duels are against the law, and that it is your duty to hold an inquiry." The door behind Andre -Louis open- ed softly. M. de Lesdiguieres, pale with anger, contained himself with difficulty.. "You seek to compel us, do you, you impudent rascal?" he growled. "But I give you a last warning, mas- ter lawyer; keep a closer guard over that insolent tongue of yours, or you will have cause very bitterly to re- gret its glibness." He waved a jewel- ed, contemptuous hand. "To the door!" CHAPTER VII. He had broken his futile lance with the windmill -the image suggested by M. de Kercadiou persisted In his mind —and it was, ho perceived, by sheer good fortune that he has escaped without hurt. There remained the wind itself—the whirlwind. And the events in Rennes, reflex of the graver events in Nantes, had set that wind blowing in his favor. He set out briskly to retrace his steps toward the Place Royale, where the gathering of the populace was greatest, There were cries "To the Palais! Down with the assassins! Down with the nobles!" An artisan who stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the press en- lightened' Andre -Louis on the score of the increased excitement. "They've shot him dead. His body is lying there where It fell at the foot of .the statue. And there was an- other student killed not an hour ago by the cathedral works. Pardi 1 If they can't prevail in one way they'll prevail in another?" Andre -Louis' left hint still talking, and clove a way through that human press. At the statue's base he came upon a little cluster of students about the body of the murdered lad, all stricken. with fear and helplessness. "You here, Moreau!" said a voice,' Ile looked round to find himself confronted by Le Chapelier, a lawyer of Rennes, a prominent member of the Literary Chamber of that city. "Ah, it is you, Chapelier! Why y don't you tell them what to do? Up with you main l" And he pointed to the plinth. Le Chapelier's dark restless eyes Searched the other's impassive face for some trace of irony he suspected. "Your notions and amine on that score can hardly coincide," said he. Andre -Louis looked at him with- out surprise. How should Le Chap- elier suspect lr'rls present intentions? "If you won't tell them what Is to be done, j will," he said. "Nom do Dieu! If you want to in- vite a bullet from the other side, I shall' not hinder you," Scarcely were the words out than he repented there; for as 11 in answer to that challenge Andre -Louis sprang tt "And who, sir, is the man you charge with this?" up on to the plinth. Alarmed now, for he could only suppose it to be Andre -Louis' intention to speak on be: half of Privilege, Le Chapelier clutch- ed him by the legs to pull him down again. "Al, that, no!" lie was shouting. "Come down, you fool. Come down 1" Andre -Louis maintaining his posi- tion by clutchieg one of the legs of the bronze horse, flung his voice like a bugle -note over the heads of that seething mob. "Citizens of Rennes, the mother- land is in danger!" The effect was electric.'A stir ran, like a ripple over water, across that froth of upturned' human faces, and completest silence followed. "Shuddering in horror of the vile deed here perpetrated, my„voice de- mands to be heard by you. You have. seen murder done under your eyes the murder of one who nobly, without any thought of self, gave voice to the wrongs by which we are all oppress ed. Fearing -that voice, shunning the - truth as foul things shun the light, our oppressors sent their agents to silence him in death." Le Chapelier released at last his hold of Andre -Louis' ankle, staring up at him the while in sheer amaze- ment. What had come to him? "Of assassins what shall you look for but assassination? I have a tale to tell which will show that thisis no new thing that you have witness- ed here to -day; it will reveal to you the forces with which you have to deal. Yesterday ..." - There was an interruption. A voice in the crowd, some twenty paces, per- haps, was raised to shout; "Yet another . of them!" Irnnrediately after the voice cane a pistol -shot and a bullet flattened itself against the bronze figure just behind Andre -Louis. (To be continued.) Only Good Tea Good Value.

Address W The Piper's Son, 01d :and young are interested in Nursery Rhymes, but it is surprising how few can repeat them correctly, Like such songs as "Auld Lang Syne" and "Tom Bowling," everybody can repeat a few lines, and then they are done. Millions can .say the fist four lines of "The Piper's Son," but prob- ably the rest of this rhyme is known only to a few. 'Torn, Tom, the piper's son, Learnt to pay when he was young, But the only tune that he could play Was "Over the hills and far away; Over the hills; and a great way off, And the wind will blow my top -knot off:" Now Tom with his pipe made such a noise , That he pleased full well both girls and boys, And they all 'stopped to hear 'him play "Over the hills and far away.!' Tom on hispipe played with such skill That none who heard him could never keep still; Whenever they hoard him they began' for to dance -- Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance. As Dolly was milking her cow one day, Tom took out his pipe and began for to play; So . Doll and the cow danced "The Cheshire Round;' Till the pail was broke and the milk ran on the ground. He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs, He used his pipe and she used her legs; .. She danced about till the eggs were all broke, She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke. He saw a cross fellow was beating an ass, Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes and glass; He took out his pipe and played them a tune, And the jackass's load was lightened full soon. April. (1626). It is now April, and the nightin- gale begins to tune her throat against May. The sunny showers perfume. the air and the bees begin to go abroad for honey. The dew, as !m pearls, hangs upon the tops .of the grass, while the turtles sit billing upon the little green boughs. The trout begins to play in the brooks, and the salmon the e, v s he sea to play in the fresh waters. The .gar- den -banks are full of gay flowers; and the thorn and the plum send forth their fair blossoms. The March colt begins to play, and the cosset lamb is learned to butt. The poets now make their studies in the, woods, and the youth of the country make ready for the morris-dance. The little fishes Ile nibbling at a bait, and the por- poise plays in the pride of the tide. The shepherd's pipe entertains the Princess of Arcadia, and the health- ful soldier Bath a pleasant march. The lark and the lamb look up at the sun, and the laborer is abroad by the dawning of the day... It were a world to set down the worth of this month, but in sum, I thus conclude: I hold it the heaven's blessing and the earth's comfort.

The usefulness of the Boy Scout movement and the service it can do toward the building - up of national solidarity was emphasized by Sir Les- lie : Wilson, the Governor and Chief Scout of Bombay Presidency, in :his speech opening the Municipal Boy Scouts Camp at Ghatkepar, The Governor observed "that the recruit- ment of boys under the banner of the Scouts would, more than any other movement, tend to give the youth a correct understanding of the ideels of citizenship. No province in India has perhaps shown a •clearer realization of the significance anslrimportance of this statement than Bombay. Ever since its inauguration in India the Boy Scout movement has. been making remark- able progress; so that to -day there' are nearly 25,000 Scouts - and Cubs all over the country. Among them there is no difference of raoe, caste, or creed, and it is to this feature of the great movement that the Government look forward for Help in solving communal- ism, one of India's very knotty prob- lems. The number of Scouts and Cubs in Bombay is over 6000. 1 Going fishing _take Minard's Liniment. Great -Heart. • Where aro you going, Great -Heart?

The color plans of a home are fully as important as the architectural or furnishing plans. In a rented, house one usually has to rnalce continual compromises with -. color. The exterior painting scheme is seldom interesting' or individual,' and often even ugly; and inhaimon- ious. The interior walls and wood- work are never quite the right back- ground for new furnishiug'pian or old furnishings, Consequently one has to make the best of a misfit. One of the great advantages in building or owning your own home lies in the opportunity offered for color schemes which are, individual, har- monious and basically: right How many 'women would exchange the alluring individuality 'offered by the women's styles for thedeadly uni- formity of men's attire? A well dressed woman knows that certain. colors and: types of wearing apparel are more characteristic of her own personal type than others, and conse- quently are more flattering and dis- tinctive. gnome or TINTS. The majority of house, exteriors suffer either from deadly uniformity or from an unsuitable or unflattering color scheme. To -day the chemical composition of paints and stains has reached such a high stage of perfec- tion that one veritably has the entire, rainbowto choose from, and there is no practical or artistie reason for the limitation of exterior painting schemes to a few stereotyped colors or. combinations. The colonial type of architeeture• lends itself to a far wider. range of colors than the conventional white; Duff and yellow. Cafe -au -fait is an excellent body color for a large Col- onial house. A small' Colonial house- painted ousepainted gray -blue, set amid green fol- iage, is indeed a delight to the eye. The cafe-au-lait house may have ivory and green trim and a russet -purple• roof; the gray -blue house -may have a sage green roof and terra-cotta trim. Stucco is closely associated with Spanish, Italian and French provin- cial architecture, which is essentially colorful. Stucco was never intended to be used in its gray -white state. Grays, buffs and yellows seem to be the inevitable choice for coloring• stucco houses when they are not left uncolored, and the many delightful color possibilities which` stucco offers are quite generally neglected. Pis - tache green, tawney, . amber, gray - lavender and Italian blue present very pleasing and suitable substitutes. ;CORRECT BACKGROUND. The color of the walls and wood- work of a roam provide the back- ground or "setting" for the furnish- ings. If the background is not right, no matter how well selected or how good in quality the furnishings may be, they will never show to advantage. Colors also have a decided influence on temperament, and the colors of our home surroundings can never be too carefully planned. The selection of the proper -wall color depends on the exposure and size of the room and the type of furnish- ings to be used. Small rooms de- mand light wall colorer Rooms with northern and eastern exposure de- mand warm, sunshiny walls, and southern or western ones cool, re- freshing walls. Harmony between the walls of adjoining rooms is also es- sential. Woodwork is a highly important part ` of the background, and the wrong woodwork can utterly, spoil the effect of a room. There are many new and delightful natural wood finishes which give distinction to modern furnishing plans, and many delight- ful new enamel colors have been dis- covered which offer a practical and pleasing change from the overworked ivories and creams. A Story. Not long ago the pastor of our. little country church preached a ser- mon on the theme, "Whither 'are we going?" And in the course of it he told a significant story. It seems that a traveller was in- vestigating a stone quarry where the workers were busy,in -long ' ender - ground corridors. Beside one laborer he paused and, after watching him.a minute, said, "What are you doing?" Ridiculous question! The laborer did turn of even bother to ' rn hishead ud as e made the obvious answer, Cut - ng stone." A little farther along; • cleansers to keep SMP Pearl Ware spp;trlding clean.
