He was speaking in the cause of the people because of the oath taken as he held in his arms the body of his dearest friend, PHILIPPE De VILMORIN, a divin- ity student who had been tricked into a duel and then killed because he possessed a ‘‘dangerous gift of eloquence.,” The slayer was the powerful MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR.

CHAPTER VIIIL Andre-Louls rode forth from Rennes committed to a deeper adven- ture than he had dreamed of when he left the sleepy village of Gavrillac. Lying the night at a roadside inn, and setting out again early in the morning, he came on his errand of sedition into that beautiful city of Nantes. It was striking two, the busiest hour of the day upon the Bourse, when Andre-Louis reached the Place du Commerce, » Soon the president came, others following, crowding out into the por- tico, jostling one another in their eagerless to hear the news. “Tell me, sir, is it true that King has dissolved the States?" “Summon the gentlemen of your Chamber, monsieur,” said Andre- Louis, “and you shall hear all.” “So be it."” A word, and forth they came to ‘“The Dimensions of Life" 5 the subject of an address delivered by Rev.

From the foot of the plinth rang the voice of the students making chorus to Le Chapelier, who was bid- ding Andre-Lonis to seek shelter. “Come down! Come down at once! They'll murder you as they mur- dered La Riviere.” “Let them!"” He flung wide his arms in a gesture supremely theatri- cal, and laughed. “I stand here at crowd upon the steps, but leaving clear the topmost step and a half- moon space in the middle, “People of this great city of Nantes, I have come to summon you to arms! “I am a delegate of the people of Rennes, charged to announce to you what is taking place, and to invite you in this dreadful hour of our country’s peril to rise and march to her defense.” “Name!

He told how the early Greek philosophers said the earth was only 1,500 miles wide, that the sky was a covering over the earth and had 8,000 holes for light, which were called stars. He created much amusement by compar- in the ancient conception of the size of the earth to Bronx park, in New York, and by stating that Aristotle could have gone around what he thought was the whole earth, in two days in a Ford. No Choir in Church. Angry Skipper's Estimate of Gold Finding Needle's Powers Takes Big Fall. Penetanguishene, Ont., June 24— The supposed Jesuit treasure chest at the bottom of the Wye River turned out today to be a flat rock about six feet long, and the inventor of the gold-finding needle is disappointed. Captain Bob Carson, whose dredges moved tons of sand to reach the spot where he has been assured the long- lost golden treasure lay, put on his NOW 1595 F. O. B. CLEVELAND TheWonder Car of theYear diving suit late this afternoon and de- scended to find the chest and put hook chains around it for hoisting to the surface. When he had been under water for about three minutes the bubbles from his air tube increased with * such rapidity that onlookers above thought he was under great excitement because his search was over. They were right. The captain was excited. He was hoisted to the dredge and when his helmet was unscrewed the crowd waited anxiously. “Up anchor, and put for home,"” barked the Captain. ‘There's your blasted treasure,”” and he held up a piece of black rock. “The blamed He spoke of more recent dates and told of persecutions for owning Bibles in England less than 500 years ago. He spoke of the tendency toward a universal religious democracy and said: “Some people would make their own consciences measuring rods for their fellow-man and they want to stretch a man on the rack, or cut him off so as to make him fit.

AND THEN HE FOUND HIMSELF CHALLENGED BY A WOMAN'S VOICE. 80, they shall not prevent me from speaking to you, from telling you what is to be looked for in them.” And presently, when some measure of order was restored, he began his tale. In simple language now, he tore their hearts with the story of yesterday’'s happenings at Gavrillac. “The Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr said of him that he had too danger- ous a gift of eloquence. It was to silence his brave voice that he killed him. But he failed of his object For 1. poor Philippe de Vilmorin's friend, have assumed the mantle of his apostleship, and I speak to you with his voice today.” It was a statement that helped Le Chapelier at last to understand, at least in part, this bewildering change in Andre-Louis, which rendered him faithless to the side that employed him. And now in a terrible voice, with an eloquence that amazed himself, he denounced the inertia of royal justice where the great are the offenders. It was with bitter sarcasm that he spoke of their King's Lieutenant, M. de Lesdiguieres. Again a great roar. He had wrought them up to a pitch of dan- gerous passion, and taey were ripe for any violence to which he urged them. If he had failed with the windmill, at least he was now mas- ter of the wind. “To the. Palais!" they shouted, wav- ing their hands, brandishing canes, and—here and there—even a sword “To the Palais!" Down with M. de Lesdiguieres! Death to the King's Lieutenan “Ah, wait!” he bade them. “Is this miserable instrument of a corrupt system worth the attention of your noble indignation? Precipitancy will spoil everything, Above all, my chil- dren, no violence My children! have heard him! Out of the silence into which they had fallen anew broke now the cry f 7 ““What else, then? What else?"” “1 will tell you,” he answered them. ‘‘The wealth and strength of Brittany lies in Nantes. She has the power to make her will prevail, as we have seen already. Let her exert that power once more, and until she does &0, do you keep the peace in Rennes.” A dozen students caught him as he jeaped down, and swung him to their shoulders, wHere again he came within view of all the acclaiming erowd They carried him out of the square and up the Rue Royale to an old Could his godfather Majesty has dissolved the State.” There was a burst of delirious ap- plause, Gradually silence was re- stored, and at last Andre-Louis was able to proceed. You rejoice too soon. Unfortu- nately, the nobles, in their insolent ar- rogance, have elected to ignore the royal dissolution, and in despite of it persist in sitting and in conduct- ing matters as seem good to them, “This is no new thing. Always has it been the same. They have flouted the authority of the King, and they are silencing by assassination those who raise their voices to con- demn them. Yesterday in Rennes, two young men who addressed the people as I am addressing you were done to death in the streets by as- sassins” at the instigation of the no- bility. Their blood cries out for vengeance.” Acclamations broke out unstintedly now. He had caught them in the snare of his oratory. And he pressed his advantage instantly. “Let us all swear,” he cried in a great voice, “to raise up in the name of humanity and of liberty a rampart against our enemies, to oppose to their bloodthirsty covetousness the calm perseverence of men whose cause is Just. Let us make oath upon the honor of our motherland that should any of us be seized by an unjust tri- bhunal, intending against us one of those acts termed of political expedi- ency—which are, in effect, but acts of despotism-—let us swear, 1 say, to give a full expression to the strength that is in us and do that in self-defense which nature, courage, and despair dictate to us." I need not dwell at any length upon the sequel It is a matter of history how that oath which Omnes Omnibus administered to the citizens of Nantes formed the backbone of the formal protest which they drew up and signed in their thousands. CHAPTER IX. Dusk of the following day was fall- ing when the homing Andre-Louis ap- proached Gavrillac Within a mile of the village he caught his first glimpse of a figure on horseback pacing slowly towards him. But it was not until they had come within a few yards of each other that he observed this cloaked figure was leaning forward to peer at him. And then he found himself challenged by a woman's voice. “It is you, Andre—at last!" He drew rein, mildly surprised. “I have been patrolling this sincé noon today, waiting for you." She spoke breathlessly, in haste to explain. “A troop of the marechausee road T6 Wear a Collar. “Some people I've seen thought you would be sure to go to hell if you ever wore gold. Other men think you ought not to wear any collar, It is sad to think of people being so narrow in their thinking. “Of course we wear neckties for show. We comb our hair for show, also. Some people would go all their lives with shackles on their hands and brains. Today there are 64 mil- lion people who never darken a church door because they don't want to say their prayers and they think that's all a church is for. The Devil on the Ticket. “You say that politics is no place for the church. I say thHe church has a right to go wherever there is a man. I've heard some men say they'd vote for the devil if he headed their favorite party, and sometimes it looks as if the party leaders were trying to satisfy him. Lucky for Methusaleh He is Dead. Speaking of the depth and length of life, he referred to the age of Methusaleh and an ancient king said to have lived 8,800,000 years, by say- ing their system of calculation must have been different in those days. "I believe men today live longer than they did in those day he said. “"We are living faster and know more than thing is six feet long, and to think we wasted all this time on such a dumb idea." The search for the golden chest was SECURE DIVORCES Two Local Couples Separated by Judge Kellogg in Superior Court After Evidence is Presented. Two divorces were granted to local ipeople in the superior court at Hart- ford by Judge Kellogg yesterday. The first case was that of Alan A. Cush- man now in Straford, against Louise Adelaide Cushman. The facts brought out in the case show that the couple were married on the eve of the husband's departure for France at the beginning of the world war. Mrs. Cushman was quoted as saying that she had ‘“‘married a uniform.” The statement was made to Postmaster William F. Delaney of this city who had a conversation with the wife rel- ative to her returning to her husband. She declared that she would never re- turn to him.
