BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
To escape hanging on the charge
of sedition, Andre -Louis Moreau flees
from his native town of Gavrillac
and hides his identity as a member of
a band of strolling players in which
he makes a great success in the char-
acter of Scaramouche.
His flight has caused him to delay
revenge on the great and powerful
Marquis de La Tour D'Azyr, who
tricked Andre's dearest friend:, Phil-
ippe de Vilmorin, a divinity student,
into a duel and then killed him be-
cause he feared the„idealist's "danger -
out gift of eloquence." Over the dead
body of his friend, Andre -Louis swore
to carry on his work of reforming
the lot of the peasants.
Scaramouche, as Andre -Louis is
now called, falls in love with Climene,
daughter of the owner of the troupe,
and tries to forget the beautiful
Aline de Kereadiou, whom, he thinks,
will marry the Marquis. Climene
treats him with coldness.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
"Arid so you find me cruel?" Cli-
mene challenged him at length.
• Andre -Louis looked at her with a
half -smile.
"You have grown weary of your
part of cruel madam—a dull part, be-
lieve me, and unworthy of your tal-
ents. Were I a woman •and had I
your loveliness and your grace, Cli-
mene, I should disdain to use them as
weapons of offence."
"Loveliness and grace!" she echoed,
feigning amused surprise. But the
vain baggage was mollified. "When
was it that you discovered this beauty
and this grace, M. Scaramouche?"
"One morning when I beheld you
rehearsing a love -scene with Le-
andre."
"Why, that was the first time you
saw me."
"I had no earlier occasion to re-
mark your charms."
"You ask me to believe too much,"
said she, but her tone was softer
than he had ever known it yet.
"Then you'll refuse to believe me
if I. confess that it was this grace
and beauty that determined my des-
tiny that day by urging me to join
your father's troupe."
At that she became a little out of
breath. There was no longer any
question of finding an outlet for re-
sentment. Resentment was all for-
gotten.
"But why? With what object?"
"With the object of asking you
eneday to be my wife."
"You go very fast, don't you?" she
asked him, with heat.
"I do. Haven't you observed it? I
am a man of sudden impulses. I have
curbed and repressed myself not to
scare you by precipitancy. I have
waited—oh! so patiently—until you
should tire of that mood of cruelty."
Mechanically, and as if my tacit
consent, they resumed their walk.
"And I ask you to observe," he
said, "when you complain that I go
very fast, that, after all, I have so
far asked you for nothing."
"How?" quoth she, frowning.
"I have merely told you of my
hopes."
1t was his self-possession that ex-
asperated her; for after that she
walked the short remainder of the

way in silence, and so, for the mo-
ment, the natter was left just there.
But that night, after they had
supped, it chanced that when Cli-
mene was about to retire, he and she
were alone together in the room
aboves'tairs that her father kept ex-
clusively for his company.
As Climene now rose to withdraw
for the night, Scaramouche rose with
her to light her candle. Holding it
in her left hand, she offered him her
right, a long, tapering, white hand
at the end of a softly rounded arm
that was bare to the elbow.
Thus a moment, when he took the
tips of her fingers in his grasp, and
bowing over the hand, pressed his
lips upon it. Then he looked at her
again. The intense femininity of her
I'll be damned if Pll give her to a
graceless, nameless scoundrel iilce
you, for whole the gallows are wait-
ing already."
Scaramouche pulled the bell -rope,
not at all discomposed. }Ie smiled.1
There was a flush on his cheeks and
a gleam in his eyes. He was very
pleased with the world that night. He
really owed 'a great debt to M, de
Lesdiguieres.
"Binet," said he, "forget for ones
that you are . Pantaloon, and behave
as a nice, amiable father-in-law
should behave when he has secured
a son-in-law of exceptionable merits."
CHAPTER VII.
The Binet Troi'Ipe opened in Nantes
—as you may riscover in surviving
copies of the "Courier Nantais"—on
the Feast of the Purification with
"Les Fonrberies de Scaramouche."
For Scaramouche. himself the open-
ing success was, not confined to the
public. At the end of the play a
great reception awaited him from his
companions assembled in the green-
room of the theatre.
On the following night they played
"They Shy Lover" to a full house,
the fame of their debut having gone
abroad, and the success of Monday
vias confirmed.
After 'breakfast the following
rooming, Andre -Louis and Climene
salliedforthto take the air upon the
quays. Columbine tactlessly joined
them as they were setting out, though
matter were improved a little when
Harlequin came running after them
and attached himself to dblumbine.
Through the bustle of traffic on the
quay a cabriolet, the upper half of
which was almost entirely made of
glass, had approached them. It was
drawn by two magnificent bay horses
and driven by a superbly liveried
coachman.
In the cabriolet sat a slight young
girl wrapped in a lynx -fur pelisse,
her face of a delicate loveliness. She
was leaning forward, her lips parted,
her eyes devouring Scaramouche until
"AM I CRUEL NOW?" SHE ASKED HIM, PANTING.
lured him on, invited him, surrender-
ed to him.
By the hand he continued to hold,
he drew her toward him. She came
unresisting. He took the candle from
her, and set it down on the sideboard
by which she stood. The next moment
her slight, lithe body was in his arms,
and he was kissing her, murmuring
her name as if it were a prayer.
"Am I cruel now?" she asked him,
panting. He kissed her again for
only :answer.- - "You made me cruel
because you would not see," she told
him next in a whisper.
And then the door opened, and M.
Binet came in to have his paternal
eyes regaled by this highly indecor-
ous behavior of his daughter. -
"And what may be the meaning of
this?" demanded M. Binet, bewilder-
ed and profoundly shocked.
"Does it require explaining?" ask-
ed Scaramouche. "It means that Cli-
mene and I have taken it into our
heads to be married."
"And doesn't it matter what I may
take into my head?"
"Of course. But you could have
neither the bad taste nor the bad
heart to offer any obstacle."
"You take that for granted? Aye,
that is your way, to be sure—to take
thing for granted. You have done an
unworthy thing, Scaramouche. You
have betrayed niy trust in you. I
am very angry with you."
He rolled forward with his ponder-
ous yet curiously noiseless gait. Scar-
amouche turned to Climene, smiling,
and handed her the candle.
"If you will leave us, Climene, 1
will ask your hand of your father in
proper fors i."
She vanished, a little fluttered,
lovelier than ever in her mixture of
cond.'u.sion and timidity. Scaramouche
`closor the door and faced the enraged
M. Bitle<t, who had flung himself into
an armchair.
"Father-in-law," said he, "I con-
gratulate you. This will certainly
mean the Comedic Francaise for 011-
mene, and, that before long, and you
shall shine in the glory she will re-
flect. As the father of Madame Sear-
amo'tiehe you may yet be famous."
"yotirre a damned eersair," he
cried, thickly, halving his ham like
fist upon the table, " eorsairi First

they drew his gaze. When that hap-
pened, the shock of it brought him
abruptly to a dumbfounded halt.
"What is it, Scaramouche?"
But he made no attempt to answer
her, and at that moment the coach-
man, to whom the Iittle lady had al-
ready signalled, brought the carriage
to a standstill beside them. Seen in
the gorgeous setting of that coach
with its escutcheoned panels, its port-
ly coachman and its white -stocked
footman—who swung instantly to
earth as the vehicle stopped—its
dainty occupant seemed to Climene a
princess out of a fairy-tale. And
this princess leaned forward, with
eyes aglow and cheeks aflush, stretch-
ing out e choicely gloved hand to
Scaramouche.
"Andre -Louis!" she called him.

MOTOR INVASION
NORTH TO SOUTH
New Motor Highway Into
New Ontario to be Fittingly
Opened.
Timmins, Ont.—Arrangements are
being made to organize a gigantic
motor trek from Northern Ontario to
Toronto in August, or the beginning
of September. Mr. Alex Dewar,
president of the Associated Boards of
Trade of Northern Ontario, has writ-
ten the various municipalities of the
North asking them to elect represen-
tativesto attend an organization
meeting to be held in the near future,
The suggestion of the motor parade
was made by the Hon. William Fin-
layson on his visit to the North, when
he stated that upon the completion of
the new trunk highway he would ex-
tend an invitation to all motorists of
the North to visit Toronto and par-
ticipate in Northern. Ontario Day at
the Canadian National Exhibition.
He also suggested that the business
men of the North should make an ef-
fort to bring settlers and their fam-
ilies in their cars to demonstrate to
the people of lower Ontario the won-
derful possibilities that were to be
obtained in the northern section of
the province.
It is understood that practically
every town north of North Bay is al-
readymaking preliminary arrange-
ments for the invasion of the south
by road.
PLANES TO CARRY
INCOMING MAILS

vanced Many Hours. •
Ottawa. -- The Postmaster -Genera]
has formally authorized the experi-
ments which are designed bo precede
the new system for the expedition of
British nails from the .A.tlantie see -
board.
At the recent session of Parliament
$75,000 was appropriated for the pur-
chase of two up-to-date aeroplanes to
be used in this service, although
others as well will probably be utilized._
The experiments are to be conducted
under the direction of the Air Board
and they wil begin September 1 when
planes will meet incoming ships at
Father Point and have ,transferred to
them the letter malls. • Halifax and St.
John also figure 1n the plans. Between
Father Point and Quebec it is calcu-
lated that eight hours will be saved
by this form of transmission, while
from 12 to 14 hours will be saved be-
tween Father Point and Montreal.
The Air Board is to provide the
landing fields, the air lines and the
necessary aids to aerial navigation,
while careful note will be taken of
meteorological and other conditions. It
is expected that four months will suf-
fice for the tests from the Atlantic
ports. By the end of the year, in the
light of the data secured, tenders for
a regular service will be called for
with the idea that the contract shall
begin at the opening of St. Lawrence
navigation next year. The new system
will materially shorten the handling
of all local and transcontinental mails
to Canada and also the southern Do-
minions.
Arrangements for the initial service
will go ahead at once in order to pro-
vide for a start by September 1:

British Columbia Wage Law.
Viotoria, B.C.—To keep its regal'
tions intact and free from legal loop-
holes, the board administering British
Columbia's new universal minimum
wage not has decided to conduct an
immediate appeal against a court de-
cision by which a large class of lum-
ber Industry workers • would be exelud-
ed from the scope of the statute. In-
stead of leaving the case to the work-
ers affected', the board itself will sponr
sor the appeal in the courts here. If
it fails in this way the board will pasts
new regulations to make sure that no
workers are deprived of the benefits of
the wage law.
