BEGIN HERE TODAY There were two burning motives in the heart of ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU which drove him to seek vengeanct on the Breat noble of Brittany, the MARQUIS' DE LA TOUR D'AZYR. The profiigate noble was suing for the hand of the young and beau- titul ALINE DE KERCADIOU, who was opularly belleved to be Andre. souis’ father But more burning’ hatred of the Marquis, had been caused by his brutal murder of Andre-Louls' dearest friend, the young and idealistic PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN, a divini- ty student, The Marquis, believ- ing that Philippe had a'dangerous gift of eloquence' and fearing that the rumblings of discontent which were making way for the French revolution would bring danger to his class, deliberately provoked a duel and killed the young stullent, Andre-Louie decides to set out for Rennes and lay the case before the King's Lieutenant, GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VI, It was on a horse hired from the Breton Arme that Andre-Louis set out next morning and an hour's brisk ride brought him to the city of Rennes. He 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 statue of Louis XV. a white-faced young man was excitedly addressing the multitude. His youth and dress proclaimed the student, and a group of his fellows acting as a guard of honor to him kept the immediate pre- cincts of the statue. Over the heads of the crowd Andre- Louis caught a few of the phrases flung forth by that eager voice. “It was the promise of’ the King g . It is the King's authority they flout . . They arrogate to them- selves the whole sovereignty in Brit- (A “AND WHO, SIR, 1S THE MAN ’ell, Andre-Louls Moreau, it you can state your plea briefly, I will hear you," “You shall be the judge of that, monsieur,” sald Andre-Louis, and he proceeded at once to state his case, beginning with the shooting of Mabey, 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 de- manded justice, i "And who, sir, is |charge with this?" ‘“The Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr.” “Who?" he shouted, and witthout waiting for an answer, “Why, here's impudence,” he stormed on, “to come before me with such a charge against {a gentleman of M. de La Tour d'Azyr's {eminence! How dare you speak of him as a coward e “I speak of him as a murderer," the young man corrected, “And I demand justice against him,” “You demand it, do you? 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 admin- istrator of the King's justice, that duels are against the law, and that it is your duty to hold an inquiry.” door’ behind Andre-Louis opened softly. M. de Lesdiguieres, pale with anger, contained himself with difficulty. “You seek to compel us, do you, you impudent rascal?” he growled. “But T give you a last warning, mas- ter lawyer; keep a closer guard over that, insolent tongue of yours, or you wlil have' cause very bitterly to re- gret ite glibness” He waved a jewel- ed, contemptuous hand. “To the door!" the man you My God, 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, he perceived, by sheer good fortune that he had ecs- caped without hurt. There remained the wind itself—the whirlwind. And the events in Rennes, reflex of the DALY o) YOU CHARGE WITH THIS?” tany. The King has dissolved them . . . These insolent nobles defying their sovereign and the people . H] 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 need, 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 him at all was prob- ably due to the grave complexion of the hour. At last'he * was' ushered into a fine, well-lighted room fur- nished with enough gilt and satir to have supplied the boudoir of a rady of fashion. It was a trivial setting for a King's Lieutenant, but about the King's Lieu- tenant there was—at least to ordinary eyes—nothing trivial. At the far end of the chamber, before a goat-legged writing-table with Watteau panels, sat that exalted being. Above a scarlet coat with an ordér flaming on its breast, and a billow of lace in which diamonds sparkled like drops of water, sprouted the massive powdered head of M. de Lesdiguieres. It was thrown back to scowl with expectant arrogance. M. de Lesdiguieres considered him very sternly. “‘What is your name?" he asked. “Andre-Louis Moreau." —— Pile Sufferers ! Can You Answer These Questions? Do you know why ointments do pot give you quick and lasting relief? Why cutting and operations fail? Do you know the cause of piles is internal? That there is a stagnation of blood in the lower bowel? Do you-know that there is a harm- less internal tablet remedy discovered by Dr. Leonhardt and known as HEM- ROID, now sold by Clark & Brainard Company and druggists generally, that is guaranteed? HEM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the internal cause, by freeing blood circulation in the lower bowel. This simple home treatment has an almost unbelievable record for sure, safe and lasting relief to thousands of pile sick sufferers, and saves the needless pain and expense of an oper- ation. There is no reason why it should not do the same to you. 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 wete 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- lightéened 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! If then can't prevail in one way they'll prevail in another.” Andre-Louis left him still talking, and chose a way through that human press. At the statne's bate he came upon a little cluster of studenfs about the body of the murdered lad, all stricken with fear and helplessness. “You here, Moreau!" said a voice He 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 don’t you tell them what to do? Up with you, man!" And he pointed to the plinth. ' Le Chapelier's gdark restless eyes searched the other's impassive face for some trace of irony, he suspected. “Your notions and mine on that score can hardly coincide,” said he. Andre-Louis looked at him without surprise. How should Le Chapelier suspect his present intentions? “If you won't teli them what is to | be done, I will,”" said he. If you want to in- “Nom de Dieu! 1 vite a bullet frem the other side, shall not hinder you.” Scarcely were the words out than he repented them; for as if in, an- swer to that challenge Andre-Louis sprang up on to the plinth. Alarmed now, for he could only suppose it to be Andre-Louis' intention to speak on behalf of Privilege, l.e Chapelier clutched him by the legs to pull him down again. “Al, that, no!" he “Come down, yvou fool Andre-lLouis maintaining his tion by clutching one of the legs the bronze horse, lung his voice like a bugle-note over the heads of that seething mob. “Citizens of Rennes, land is in danger!

The average for all farms in these states ranged from 15 to 25 bushels an acre, the department said today. In Virginia, nearly negro demonstrators planted seed for their 1822 crop. All these demonstration plants of corn were harvested except 87 acres which were “hogged down.” It is estimated that 70 per cent of the negro farmer in Virginia are following methods of growing corn taught by extension workers. 5,000 of the pure An electric fan of light voltage capactiy has been designed for use in automobiles and motor boats.
