He had cry rang out sharply and insistently: Omnibus on Beach of the several occa- stepped to the front of the stage. "He doubts it," he was telling the audience. "Shall I convince him? Shall I tell him how a coinpany of noblemen backed by their servants under arms—six hundred men in all --sought to dictate to the Third Es- tate of Rennes? Must I remind him of the martial front shown by the Third Estate, and' how they swept the streets clean of that rabble of nobles—cetta canaille noble .. " Applause interrupted him. The phrase had struck home and caught. "But let me tell you of their leader —le plus noble de cette canaille, ou hien le plus canaille de cel nobles! You know him—that one. He fears many things, but the voice of truth he fears most, does this proud leader, M. de La Tour d'Azyr. You have heard of this valiant Marquis, this great lord of life and death?" The pit was in an uproar a mo- ment. It quited again as Scaramouche continued: "Oh, it was a fine spectacle to see i r.'•e^�� this mighty hunter scuttling to cover like a hare. Rennes has net seen him since. Rennes would like to see him again. But if he is valorous, he is also discreet, And where do you think he has taken refuge, this great Who ho wanted to see the streets of Rennes washed in the blood of its citizens, to silence the voice of reason and of liberty that presumes to ring through France today? Where do you think he hides himself? Why, here in Nantes." Again there was uproar. "What do you say? Impossible? Why, my friends, at this moment he $s Here in this theatre—skulking up there in that box. Ile is too shy to show himself—oh, a very modest gentleman.. But there he is behind the curtains. Will you not show yourself to your friends, M. de La Tour d'Azyr, Monsieur le Marquis who considers eloquence so very dan- gerous a gift?"

This time they mal*. want to hang me for several things, including murder; for I do not know whether that scoundrel Binet be alive or dead from the dose of lead I pumped into his fat paunch." `• There is also another letter of his written at about the -same , time to the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr. "The Paris newspapeera," he writes in this, "inform Hie that you have escaped the fate I intended for you when I"'raised that storm of public ind'ignation. I rejoice in it., Had you died, had you been torn limb from limb that night, I should now repine in the thought of your untroubled slumber. In torment of mind should the guilty atone.

Half a dozen gentlemen, habitues of the green -room, had come round to the stage to disembowel the knave who had created this riot, and it was they who had flung aside these two com- edians who hung upon Binet. After him they came now, their swords out; but after them again came Polichin- elle, Rhodomont, Harlequin, Pierrot, Pasquariel, armed with such imple- ments as they could hastily snatch up, and intent upon saving the man with whom they sympathized' in spite of all.

In- spired by Stefansson, ties Hudson's Bay Company has leased for raising reindeer the southern half of Baffin Island—an area the size of the British Isles.

And as the climate of the Atlantic Coaet.onee presented terrible difficulties to the French colonistc, and yesterday that of the southern prairies seemed an insu'pe'rable ob- stacle to our fathers, so the belief, in which we were brought up, that the Par North was. an impossible region of perpetual scow is feeling in the, light of acientlflc knowledge• that the whole of Canada is habitable and produc- tive. One of the greatest problems of the younger generation is to disoover ways and means of making the north an integral part o1 Canada, instead of the hinterland it has. been.
