'0 ky tread_ dabatUU 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 -1 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 be 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 Kerc:adiou, whom, he thinks, will marry the Marquis. Climene treats hien with coldness. GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VIII. "The door," Aline commanded her footman, and "Mount here Beside me," she commanded Andre -Louis, in the same breath. "A moment, Aline." He turned to his companion, who was all amazement and to Harlequin and Coiunrbine,•who had that moment COM() up to share it. "You permit rhe, Climene?" said he, breathlesly. But it was More a statement than a question. "Harlequin will take care of you. Au revoir, at dinner." With that he sprang into the cab- riolet without waiting for a reply, and the regal equipage rolled away, leaving the three comedians staring after it, open-mouthed. Then Harle- quin laughed. "A prince in disguise, our Scars- mouchel" said he. The frown melted from Climene's i brow. Resdntment changed to be- wilderment. "But who is 'she?" "His sister, of course," said Harle- quin, quite definitely. In the carriage Aline was consider- ing Andre -Louis with grave eyes, lips slightly compressed, and a tiny frown between her finely drawn eye- brows. "You have taken to queer company, ,,Andre," was the first thing she said to him. "Or else I am mistaken in thinking that your companion was Mlle. • Binet of the Theatre Fey dau." "You are not mistaken. But I had not imagined Mlle. Binet was so fa - !mous already." "Oh, as to that ..." mademoiselle shrugged. "It is simply that I was at the play last night." "You were at the Feydau last night? And I never saw you?" "Were you there too?" "Was I there!" he cried. Then he her iciness. -checked, and abruptly changed his "My poor Andre, why didn't you tone. "Oh, yes, I was there," he said, tell me this at first?" as commonplace as he could, beset "For onesthing, you didn't give me. by a sudden reluctance to avow that time; for another, I feared to shock 'he had so willingly descended to you with the spectacle of my degree .depths that she must account un dation.

"But what do you understand?" "Let me present you to the author." "You? But the company is one of the improvisers." "Even improvisers require an author to write their scenarios.

He smiled his close-lipped smile that made wrin'kies like gashes. in his cheeks. Honodded. - "An,l I didn't recognize you!" "I thank you for the tribute: You imagined, of course, that I wasascene- shifter. And now the question I have bean burning to ask, Why. are :you in Nantes, Aline?"

Do you know that you dis- appoint me, Andre? I was foolish enough to imagine you to be different; rather above such trivial pursuits. I conceived you something of an ideal- ist." "Sheer flattery." "So I perceive. But yon misled me. With your gift of acting I wonder that you haven't joined Mlle. Binet's troupe." "I have," said he. He saw first incredulity, then con- sternation, and lastly disgust over- spread her face. "Of course," said she, after a long pause, "that would have the advan- tage of bringing you closer to your charmet." "That was only one of the induce- ments. There was another. Finding myself forced to choose between the stage and the gallows, I had the in- credible weakness to prefer the for- mer. Shall I atop the carriage and remove the contamination of my dis- gusting person? Or shall I tell you how it happened?" "Tell me how it happened first. Then we will decide." He told her haw he met the Binet Troupe, and how the men of the then by M. de La Tour d'Azyr, him -I "Did not that help you to decide this marriage question?" "How could it? You don't expect me to judge between men in ratters such as these?" "If you cannot judge, it is that you d9 not wish to judge," His tone be- came harsh. "Willfully you close your eyes to justice that might cheek the course of. your unhealthy, unnatural ambition." "I think I had better let you alight so that you may go back to practice virtue and honor with\ your theatre wench." "If you must speak of her at all," he interrupted hotly, "you'll speak of her as my wife." ' Amazement smothered her anger. Her pallor deepened. "My God!" she said, and looked et tum in horror, And in horror she asked him present- ly: "You are married—married to that—?" "Not yet. Bdt- I shall be, soon. And let me tell you that this girl whom you visit with your ignorant contempt is as good and pure as you are, Aline. She has wit and talent which have placed her where she is and shall carry her a deal farther. And she has the 'womanliness to be guided by natural instincts in the selection of her mate."" "You will descend this instant!" she told him fiercely. "That you should dare to make a comparison be- tween me and that ..." "And my wife-tobe," he interrupt- ed, before she couldspeak the in- famous nfamous word. He opened the door for himself without waiting for the foot- man, and Aleapt down. "My compli- ments," said he, furiously, "to the assassin you are to marry." He slam- med the door. "Drive on," he bade the coachman. He got back to the inn to find the company at table. Harlequin and Columbine had spread the tale of this prince in disguise caught up into tho chariot of a princess and carried off by her; and it<.was a tale that had lost nothing in the telling. • Climene had 'been silent and thoughtful. Clearly her Scaramouche must be vastly* other. than he had hitherto appeared. or else that groat lady and he w',uld never have used such familiarity with each other.

The moth which we see -the miller which flies about during the spring and late summer or, in heated houses, most any time of the year --does not eat the clothing, but it lays eggs which hatch in from five to ten. days and the ensuing larvae with their well de- veloped jaws cause the destruction to our clothing, rugs and upholstery. There are severalexcellent methods of preventing this damage, and if care is taken at the right time there need be no doss of clothing or furnishings from moth attacks. Cleaning and Brushing 1. As a preliminary to any treat- ment, .olothing should -be vigorously brushed orbeaten and well sunned (if possible). The larvae and eggs of clothes mothe aro very delicate and a thorough brushing or beating will either crush or remove them. In brush- ing pay special attention to seams and pockets where dust and lint have col- lected. It is always wise to have clothing dry gleaned before. packing it away in chestsforclothes moths, seek out and thrive best upon soiled spots in cloth- ing. After dry cleaning or 'thorough- ly brushing, beating and sunning, wrap carefully and tightly in several thick- nesses of newspapers or heavy wrap- ping paper, makiz2.g certain that the paper at the end of the bundle formed is so well bent back upon itself that no clothes moth can crawl into the bundle. Clothes moths will not eat through paper to reach clothing and tight wrapping makes a firm mass of clothing which in itself is a protection. If clothing is thoroughly cleaned, brushed and wrapped,'•it can be left on closet shelves or elsewhere without danger of becoming infested so long as the paper wrapping remains un- broken. . Fumigation 2.Fumigation with carbon disulphid is a most effective treatment. Cloth- ing •should be thoroughly brushed, as described above, and then packed in a tight trunk or chest and fumigated (out of doors). While carbon disul- phid fumigation, kills the clothes moths it will not keep moths from eating later and starting up new infestations.; I I hence to accomplish an effective fu-; migation as well as to keep moths out' later, this treatment must be conduc,t- ed in a tight container. A saucer is placed on top of the clothing and the carbon dis'ulphid is poured into it. The carbon disulp'hii evaporates, forming a, gas that sinks down into the •clothing and kills the moths,. Several treat- ments may be needed during a summer df the trunk or chest is not tight, though one is sufficient if the trunk is so tight that moths oannot get ii. from the outside. The odor or carbon disulphid ie very foul, but soon disap- pears and does not injure fabrics.' Car- bon disulph%1 can be purchaser at any drug store. The gas formed is heavier , than air and must be kept away from fire in all forms, the same as gasoline, How to Use Moth Baits 3. Anotherr excellent method of pro- tecting clothing is the liberal use of naphthalelte in the form of moth balls , or fakes. In tight chest or trunks one' pound of nap'hthalene well distributed among the clothes, will kill all moths, their eggs and larvae. Well grown larvae are killed with difficulty by naphthalene, and so it is necessary to attend to the brushing of clothing be- fore pacing in chest. It must be re- membered that unless the trunk is very tight the fumes of the naphtha- lene will ,escape and not kill the moth. , Naphthalene scattered about bureau drawer's may keep moths away to some extent, but will not kill them. It can be recommended as a killing agent only when inclosed with clothing in a tight container. Cedar Chests The odor emanating from a cedar chest will not kill clothes moths, their eggs or larvae, The odor does have, hewever, ai repellent eel'Geot on the troths and if everything is free from the eggs and larvae when placed in the chest it will he protected, from the moths and remain undamaged, appar- ently,for long lien ocle of time.
