© by Rafacl Sabatint BEGIN HERE TODAY To escape hanging on the charge of sedition, ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU flees from hi tive town of Gavrillac and de- lays his revenge on the MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR. There are two motives behind the revenge of Andre-Louis His dear- est friend, PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN, had been tricked into a duel and slain by the Marquis, because the noble feared Philippe's “dangerous gift of eloqu- ence.” Andre-Louis swore to'carry on the ideals of his friend. The second motive sprang from his love for J ALINE DE KERCADIOU, niece of the Lord of Gavrillac, who is popu- larly believed to be the father of Andre-Louis. The profligate Mar- quis has sued for the girl's hand. To escape detection, Andre-Louis Jjoins a band of strolling players. He does not wish to appear on the stage ,but in a sudden emergency the head of the band, MONSIEUR BINET, states that he will either appear as Scaramouche or be surrendered as a fugitive from Justice. GO ON WITH THE STORY “Now, my friend,” said M. Binet, “will you be ‘M. Parvissimus and play Scaramouche tomorrow, or will you'| be Andre-Louis Moreau of Gavrillac and go to Rennes to satisfy the King's Lieutenant" “T yileld to your most eloquent and seductive persuasions, M. Binet," said Andre-Louis sweetly. CHAPTER V. Dressed in the close-fitting suit of a bygone age, all black, from flat velvet cap to rosetted shoes, his face whit- ened and a slight up-curled mustache glued to his upper lip, a small sword at his side and a guitar slung behind him, Scaramouche surveyed himself in a mirror, and was disposed to be sardonic—which was the proper mood for the part. He bowed to his reflection mirror. “Buffoon!” in the he apostrophized it. volley of laughter welcomed him from the audience, which this evening packed the hall from end to end, “Name of ‘a name” M groaned, “what will happen when they discover that he isn't acting?" But they never did discover it, Scaramouche's bewildered paralysis lasted but a few seconds. He realized that he was being laughed at, and re- membered that his Scaracouche was a creature to be laughed with, and not at, A ripple of laughter from the audi- ence had becn steadily enheartening him, It was clear they found him comical, When at last the curtain fell for the last time, it was Scaramouche who shared with Climene the honors of the evening, his name that was coupled with hers in the calls that summoned them before the curtains. CHAPTER VI. It seemed to Andre-Louis in those days that he had found his real career, and not only was he beginning to like it, but actually to look for- ward to a career as actor-author that might indeed lead him in the end to that Mecca of all comedians, the Comedie Francaise. And there were other possibilities, F'rom the writing of skeleton scenarios for improvisors, he might presently pass to writing plays in the proper sense of the word, after the manner of Chenier, Eglan- tine, and Beaumarchals. Now, dream though it was, he did not neglect the practical side of it. “You realize;” he told M. Binet, “that T have it in my power to make your fortune for you."” He and Binet were sitting aloné to- gether in the parlor of the inn at Pipriac, drinking a very excellent bottle of Volnay. It was the night after the last performance there of “Les Fourberies."” ’ “I.will concede it, my dear Scara- mouche, so that I may hear the sequel.” 5 And Scaramouche proceeded to un- fold a scheme that filled Binet wit}h a paralyzing terror. ‘“‘After Redon, Nantes,” he said. Nantes and the Theater Feydau.” “IT AMUSES YOU TO BE CRUEL" SAID SCARAMOUCHE. “At last you have found yourself.” Ten minutes later the three knocks sounded and the curtains were drawn aside. Andre-Louis was assailed with naysea in that dread moment. He attempted to take a lightning mental review of the first act of this scenario of which he was himself the author- in-chief but found his mind a com- plete blank. His arm was clutched, and he was pulled violently toward the wings. He had a glimpse of Pantaloon's grotesque face, its eyes blazing, and he caught a raucous growl. “Climene has spoken your cue three times already."” Before he realized it, he had been bundled on to the stage, and stood there foolishly, blinking in the glare of the footlights, with their tin refiec- tors. So utterly foolish and bewil- dered did he look that volley upon CORNS Lift Off with Fingeré Doesn’t hurt a bit! “Freezone’’ on an aching corn, in- stantly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you liff it right off with fingers Truly!

Binet choked in the act of drinking. The Theater Feydau was a sort of provincial Comedie Francaise. “But why not Paris and the Come- die Francaise?” wondered M. Binet, with sarcasm, when at last he had got his breath. “That may come later,” says impu- dence. friend."” But Andre-Louis detailed the plan that had been forming in his mind. “We'll talk of Paris after Nantes," he finished, supremely matter-of-fact, “just as we will definitely decide on Nantes after Redon.” The persuasiveness that could sway a mob ended by sweeping M. Binet off his feet. The prospect which Scara- mouche unfolded, if terrifying, was also intoxicating. “The thing réemains possible,” said he then, holding his glass to the light, and speaking casually, “as long as I am with you.” ““Agreed, my -dear Scaramouche, agreed. Our chance meeting was a fortunate thing for both of us."” “And now for the remainder of my proposal.” “Ah? And the proposal?” “Is ‘that you constitute me your partner, with an equal share in the profits of your company.” The decision to which M. Binet finally came was, naturally, the only one possible in the face of so firm a resolve as that of Andre-Louis, who held the trumps. In tHe end the matter was settled and the announcement duly made to the assembied company. There were, of course, jealousies and resentments. But they were readily swallowed when it was discovered that the lot of the entire company was to be materially improved from the point of view of salares. The one exception was Climene. Her failure to bring to heel this in- teresting young stranger had begot- ten in her a malice which his per- sistent ignoring of her had been steadily inflaming. She had remon- strated with her father when the new partnership was first formed She had lost her temper with him, and called him a fool, whereupon M. Binet —in Pantaloon's best manner—had lost his temper in his turn and boxed her ears. She piled it up to the ac- count of Scaramouche. i One day she threw herself in his way as he was leaving the theater. “Rill you te!l me what I have done to you?" she asked him, point-blank. “Done to me, mademoiselle?” He did not upderstand.

There was nothing to be done with such a fellow. He was utterly without feeling. He was not a man at all. Yet when she came forth again at the end of some five minputes, she found him still lingering at the door. ‘‘Not gone yet?” she asked him, su- perciliously. “1 was waiting for you, mademoi- selle. You will be walking to the ing. If I might escort you N “But what gallantry! What conde- scension!" “It amuses you to be cruel,” Scaramouche. “No matter. we walk?"” They set out together, stepping briskly to warm their blood against the wintry evening air. Awhile they went in silence, yet furtively observing the other. (Continued in Our Next Issue.) JAPANESE UNABLE TO AVOID LAND TROUBLE do you 50 alert to said Shall each Tenants Return Land To Owners Be- cause Of Unfair Division Of Crops And Profits; $11 Per Month Osaka, Japan, May 24—(By Mail) —As in most countries with a large tenants farmer population Japan is faced with a land problem. In re- cent months, in several parts of the country but especially in Osaka and Kyushu prefectures the tenants have been returning the land to the own- ers bécause of the latter's refusal to grant them a larger percentage of the crops, the farms being worked on the share system. These tenants claim that under the present system, with long hours and arduous work, the earnings of a family averages $11 (eleven dollars) monthly. The land owners on the other hand claim that besides raising much of their own food on the land the tenants have income from by-pro- ducts which increases their earnings considerably but against this the farmers offset the increased cost of fertilizers, large quantities of which have been used all over Japan, and irrigation. : Some of the owners are proposing to farm their own land and are mak- FRECKLE-FACE Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots. How to Remove Easily. Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to try a remedy for freckles with the guarantee of a reliable concern that it will not cost vou a penny unless it rcmoves the freckles; while if it does give you a clear complexion the ex- pense is trifling. Simply get an ounce of Othine — double strength — from any druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles and get a beau- tiful complexion. Rarely is more than cne ounce needed for the worst case. Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength Othine as this strength is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles.

The attendance of yesterday was over 200 and it is expected that during the summer months the dally at- tendance will average between 300 and 400 people. In North End Park. The park commissioners have done well in providing for the swimming pool, the need of which was express- ed several times by Mayor Paonessa. The pool in question is situated about one quarter of a mile from the end of the Francis street trolley line on Stanley street, has a natural inlet as well as the outlet at the dam and an overflow, The water in the southern section of the pond is from eight to 10 feet in depth but at the center of the pond, where the youngsters are oblig- ed to remain, the water is but three feet deep. Sand On Beach. The park commissioners have had several tons of sand dumped on the eastern shore of the pond and it cov- ers a section of about 150 feet. At this end of the town provision has been made for a place for the young- sters and those who cannot swim to be in the water. At a distance about 50 feet from shore a number of stakes have been placed which signifies that beyond these poles the water is over three feet deep and in some places is as much as 12 feet deep. Plan To Build Raft. So that the older boys and the men may enjoy themselves at the swimming pool, plans are being made to build a large raft with a diving board to be placed in the deeper sec- tion of the pond. This will probably be ready within a short time. Life Guard on Duty. The mothers of the younger chil- dren are assured by the park com- missioners that their children may go in swimming in safety inasmuch as the city has provided for a life guard URSD and an expert swimmer to be on hand during most of the day. Tudor Cooley, a graduate of the local High school and a member of the volunteer life saving corps of Connecticut has been placed in charge of the pool and is on duty from 9 o’clock in the morning until 12 o’clock at noon and from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 o'clock in the eve- ning. Places To Dress. Two large pyramid army tents, 16 feet wide by 16 feet long have been) purchased by the park commissioners } and are used for the boys and the men to dress and undress in. Ar- rangements have been made whereby hooks will be placed inside of the tents to provide a place to hang the clothes on. The grounds about the tent and pool are kept in the best of condition. No Arrangements For Girls. Arrangements have not been made for the girls yet, but Park Supt. Commissioner Wainwright explained yesterday that girls who wear their bathing suits to the beach will be al- lowed to have the use of the pool but for the present there will be no place for the girls to dress at the pond. | Must Have Bathing Suits, i The park commissioners have de- cided that all youngsters under elghl' years of age will be allowed to use the swimming pool if they wear tights but all boys over eight years of age and all men will be obliged to wear full length bathing suits. Better Pool Is Planned. As soon as the city appropriates money with which to work, the park commissioners are planning a more elaborate swimming pool in this parkl but they consider that with the money on hand they have succeeded in giving the children of the city what they have long wanted. i Mayor to Attend Funeral Of Father-in-Law at N.
