© by Reful Sabatint HERE TODAY, The revenge which ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU hoped to inflict on the great and powerful MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR had forced the young lawyer to flee from a charge of sedition, Two motives animated his hatred of the Marquis, The first was the death of his friend, PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN, a di- vinity student, who was tricked into & duel and slain by the Marquis, The second was his love for beau- titul ALINE DE KERCADIOU, niece of the Lord of Gavrillac, who was popularly believed to be the father of Andre-Louls. The Marquis s suing for the hand of Aline, After two brilliant speeches in Rennes and Nantes, Andre-Louis heeds Aline’s warning and flees, He takes refuge in a barn and is awakened by the voices of two lovers, CLIMENE and LEANDRE, who are panic-stricken at the impending discovery by the girl’s father. GO ON WITH THE STORY “Calm, mademoiselle, calm!” the subtle friend was urging Climene. “Keep'calm and trust to me. 1 promise you that all shall be well.” ““Oh!"” cried M. Leandre, limply. “Say what you will, my friend, this is ruin—the end of all our hopes. Your wits will never extricate us from this. Never!” Through the gap strode now an enormous man with an inflamed moon face and a great nose, decently dressed after the fashion of a solid bourgeols. There was no mistaking his anger, but the expression that it found was an amazement to Andre- Louis. * “Leandre, you're an imbecile! Your words wouldn't convince a plough- boy!” He ' checked abruptly, startled. Andre-Louis, suddenly realizing what was afoot, and how duped he had been, had loosed his laughter. The sound of it pealing and booming un- friendly, ingenious, and disarming. “What {8 your pleasure, captain?" "My pleasure {s to tell you that you are very likely to be gaoled for this, all the pack of you." “But how 8o, my captain? communal land—free to all," It 1s nothing of the kind, terre censive," “Technically, T suppose you are right,” sighed Andre-Louls, and fell to combing his hair again, still looking up into the sergeant's face, *“We are grateful to you for the warning.” He passed the comb into his left hand, and with his right fumbled in his breeches' pocket, whence there cdme a faint jingle of coins. ““Well, well,” said he, gruffly. /‘But you must decamp, you understand.” He leaned from the saddle to bring his recipient’s hand to a convenient distance, Andre-Louis placed in it a three-livre piece, “After all,” sald the sergeant, "It is none of our business to play the tip- staves for M. de l.a Tour d'Azyr. We are the marechausee from Rennes." The sergeant wheeled his horse about, his troop wheeled with him. “You, monsieur! he called over his shoulder, In a bound Andre-Louis was beside his stirrup. “We are in quest of a scoundrel named Andre- Louis Moreau, from Gavrillac, a fu- gitive from justice wanted for the gal- lows on a matter of sedition. You've seen nathing, I suppose, of a man whose movements seemed to you suspicious?” “Indeed, we have,” said Andre- Louis, very boldly, his face eager with consciousness of the ability to oblige. “Yes, yes,” the sergeant felt him- self hot ‘upon the trail. “There was a fellow who seemed very fearful of being recognized . . a man of fifty or thereabouts . . . “Fifty!"” cried the sergeant, and his face fell. “Bah! This man cf ours is no older than yourself, a thin wisp of a fellow of about your own height and of black hair, just like your own, by the description. Keep a lookout on your travels, master player. The King's Lieutenant in This is This is “WE ARE IN .QUEST OF A SCOUNDREL NAMED ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU.” cannily under the great roof that 80 immediately confined him was startling to those below The fat man was the first to re- cover, and he announced it after his own fashion in one of the ready sar- casms in which he habitually deait. “Hark!" he cried, “the very gods laugh at you, Leandre.” Then he ad- dressed the roof of the barn and its invisible tenant. *‘Hi! you there!" Andre-Louis revealed himself by a further protrusion of his tousled head. “Good-morning,” said he, pleasant- “What the devil are you doing up there?"” “Precisely the same thing that you are doing down there,” was the an- swer. ‘I am trespassing.” “FEh?” said Pantaloon, and looked at his companions, some of the as- surance beaten out of his big red face. “Whose land is this?" Andre-Louis answered, whilst draw- ing on his stockings *I believe it to be the property of the Marquis de La Tour d’Azyr.” Having donned his boots, Andre- Louis came nimbly to the ground in his shirt sleeves, his riding coat over his arm. They followed him through that gap in the hedge to the encampment on the common. There Andre-Louis perceived a young man of the com- pany performing his morning toilet at a bucket placed upon one of the wooden steps at the tail of the house on wheels. “I would beg leave to imitate that very ‘excellent young gentleman be- fore I leave you,” he said frankly to M. Pantaloon. “But, by all means. Rhodomont will provide what you require.” So Andre-Louis once more removed his neckcloth and his coat, and rolled up the sleeves of his fine shirt, whilst Rhodomont procured him soap, a towel ,and presently a broken comb. This last Andre-Louis gratefully ac- cepted, and having presently washed himself clean, stood, restoring order to his disheveled locks. He was standing thus, when his ears caught the sound of hoofs. He looked over his shoulder carelessly, and then stood frozen, with uplifted comb and loosened mouth. Away across the common, on the road that bordered it, he beheld a party of seven horsemen in the clue coats with red facings of the marechaussee. When a moment later the sergeant pulled up his horse alongside of this half-dressed young man, Andre-Louis combed his hair what time he looked yp with a half smile, intended to be Rennes has sent us word this morning that he will pay ten louis to anyone giving information that will lead to this scoundrel’s arrest. It would be a fine windfall for you that."” “A fine windfall, indeed, captain,” answered Andre-Louis, laughing. But the sergeant had touched his horse with the spur, and was already trotting off in the wake of his men, Then he turned slowly about, and came back towards Pantaloon and the rest of the company, who were now all grouped together, at gaze. CHAPTER II They were, thought Andre-Louis as he sat down to breakfast with them behind the itinerant house, an odd and yet an attractive crew. They numbered exactly eleven, three women and eight men and they addressed each other by their stage names; names which denoted their several types and never varied, no matter what might be the play that they performed. “We are,” Pantaloon infarmed him, one of those few remaining staunch bands of real players, who uphold the traditions of the old Italian Commedia dell’ Arte. Each of us is his own author as he develops the part as- signed to him. We are improvisers— improvisers of ‘the old and noble Italian school.” And he proceeded to introduction in detail. He pointed out the long and amiable Rhodomont, whom Andre- Louis already knew. “Then here we have Scaramouche, whom also you already know. Some- times he is Scapin and sometimes Coviello, but in the main Scara- mouche, to which let me tell you he is best suited—sometimes too well suited, I think. IFor he is Scara- mouche not only on the stage, but also in the world. He has a gift of sly in- trigue, an art of setting folk by the cars, combined with an impudent ag- gressiveness upon occasion when he considers himself safe from reprisals, He is Scaramouche, the little skir- misher, to the very life. T could say more. But I am by disposition chari- table and loving to all mankind.” ““As the priest said when he kissed the serving-wench,” snarled Scara- mouche, and went on eating. “His humor, like your own, you will observe, is acrid,”” said Pantatloon. “Then we have Pasquariel here, who is sometimes an apothecary, sometimes a notary, an amiable, ac- commodating fellow. And finally, you have myself, who as the father of the company very properly play as Pantaloon the roles of father. For the rest, I am the only one who has a name—it is Binet.
