'© by Rafael Sabatint BEGIN HERE TODAY The deliberate insult inflicted by the great noble, the MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR, stung MARQUIS DE VILMORIN into a pas- slon, He forgot that he was a divinity student, that he was ap- pealing for justice for the brutal shooting of the peasant discovered poaching, and leaped forward to strike the Marquis in the face. Immediately, his young lawyer friend, ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU, saw the trap. Philippe had never worn a sword. His eloquence had im- pressed the noble as a dangerous gift when Philippe pleaded for jus- sive that morning before good- natured QUENTIN DE KERCADIOU, Lord of Gavrillac, who was popularly be- lieved to be the father of Andre- Louils. It was learned with horror that the Marquis de La Tour d’Azyr was suing for the hand of de Gavrillac's beautiful young niece, ALINE DE KERCADIOU. Aline was the girl of his dreams; Philippe, his dearest friend, was now facing the Marquis with a duelling sword in his hand. GO ON WITH THE STORY. M. de Chabrillane, leaning upon a cane—for he had relinquished his sword to M. de Vilmorin—looked on with quiet interest. Facing him on the other side of the combatants stood Andre-Louis, the palest of the four, staring from fevered eyes, twist- ing and untwisting clammy hands. He clung to the conviction that the issue could not really be very serious. If the obligations.of Philippe’s honor compelled him to cross swords with the man he had struck, M. de La Tour d'Azyr’s birth compelled him no less to do no serious hurt to the un- fledged lad he had so grievously pro- voked. = M. le Marquis, after all, was a man of honor, The encounter was very short, of course. In youth, Philippe had re- ceived the tutoring in sword-play that was given to every boy born into his station of life. And so he knew at least the rudiments of what was “Come back, you cowardly mor- derer, and make yourself quite safe by killing me, too!" The Marquis half turned, his face dark with anger. Then M, de Sha- brillane set a restraining hand upon his arm. Although a party through- out to thé deed, the Chevaller was a little appalled now that it was done. He had not the high stomach of M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and he was a good deal younger, “Come away," he sald. “The lad is raving. They were friends.” “You heard what he said?" quoth the Marquis, “Nor can he, or you, or any man deny it flung back Andre-Louis. “Yourself, monsieur, you made con- fession when you gave me now the reason why you killed him. You did it because you feared him.” ‘When the landlord and his people came, they found Andre-Louls, his arms about the body of his dead friend, murmuring passionately into the deaf ear that rested almost against his lips: “Philippe, speak to me, Philippe! Philippe . . . Don't you hear me? O God of Heaven' Philippe!” At a glance they saw that here neither prest nor doctor could avail. Andre-Louis, holding the dead man's hand in both his own, swore to him out of his impotent rage that M. de La Tour d'Azyr should pay a bitter price for this, “It was your eloquence he feared, Philippe,” he said. “The thing he feared in you, he shall fear in me. He feared that men might be swayed by your eloquence to the undoing of such things as himself. Men shall be swayed by it still. For your elo- quence and your arguments shall be my heritage from you. It shall profit him nothing to have your blood upon his soul. That voice In you would never half so relentlessly have hounded him and his as it shall in me—if all else fails.” CHAPTER V. For the second time that day Andre-Louis set out for the chateau. " The squat Seigneur de Vavrillac was restlessly pacing when Andre- Louis was introduced. He was al- ready informed, as he announced at once, of what had taken place at the “Good afternoon, monsieur my god- father,”"” sald Andre Louls, “Walt, buy, wait!" The squat little man rolled forward, affectionate concern on his great ugly face, and he set one of his podgy hands on his godson's shoulder, “Now listen to me, Andre,”” he reasoned, “This is sheer knight-errantry—moonshine, lu-' nacy, You've read ‘Don Quixote, and what happened to him when he went tliting against windmills,” the selgneur stormed, He was very angry now. ‘“Since you choose to dis- obey me, you can break your empty head against the windmill, and be damned to you." Andre-Louls howed with a touch of irony and reached the door . “If the windmill should prove too formidable,” sald he, from the threshold “I may see what can be done with the wind. Goodby, mon- sieur my godfather.” He was gone and M. de Kercadiou was alone, purple in thg face, puz- zling out that last cryptic utterance. (Continued in Our Next Issue.) SKYS MILK IS BAD F0OD Iondon Physician Condemns Fluid Except For Infants and Newspaper Questions Knowledge of Physicians London, June 21.—"Is there any one subject today upon which doctors agree?” asks a sceptical newspaper commenting on the advice of Dr. Cecil Webb-Johnson, who has said: ‘Never drink milk; it is an unnatural food save for the young." Giving his reasons for this revelu- tionary opinion Dr. Webh-Johnson, a speclalist on diet, said to a questioner: “We are the only animals in the world who drink milk after infancy. The domestic cat, it may be pointed out, drinks ‘milk after it has grown up, but this purely a domestic habit. “The idea has been handed down through generations that milk is a good thing to drink when you are ill. I think it is the worst thing, and I never allow my patients to have it. It causes constipation, flatulence, a dirty tongue and leads to rheumatism, headaches and tired feelings. Taken in excess it often causes appendicitis. “Nature does not intend milk to be taken after the purpose for which it was provided has been fulfilled. I prefer hard food always. Frequently —sometimes habitually—people will go whole days without hard food of any description. That, for one thing, is bad for the téeth. Celery, apples and other things that make you bite should be on the table every day. “Nor is milk good for the body in addition to ordinary food.

Three disengages completed the ex- changes, and then without any haste the Marquis slid his right foot along the moist turf; his long, graceful body extending itself in a lunge that went under M. de Vilmorin's clumsy guard, and. with the utmost deliberation he drove his blade through the young man'’s vitals. Andre-Louis sprang forward just in Breton Arme. “The pity of it!” he said. *The pity of it!"” He bowed his enormous head. “'Ah, this La Tour d'Azyr.is a hard man, and he feels very strongly in these matters.

With white face and twitching lips, Andre-Louis looked up at M. de La Tour d'Azyr, who stood surveying his work with a countenance of grave but remorseless interest. “You have killed Andre-Louis. “Of course.” The Marquis ran a lace handker- chief along his blade to wipe it. As he let the dainty fabric fall, he ex- plained himself. ‘“He had, as I told him, a too dangerous gift of elo- quence.” And he turned away, leaving com- pletest understanding with Andre- l.ouis.
