SCARAMOUCHE. His flight has caused him to delay revenge on the great and powerful MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR, who tricked Andre-Louis’ dearest friend PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN, into a duel and then killed him because he feared the idealist's “dangerous gift of eloquence” Over the dead body of his friend, Andre-Louis swore to carry on the work of reforming the lot of the down-trodden peasants. Scaramouche, as he is now called, falls in love with CLIMENE, daughter of MONSIEUR BINET, the owner of the troupe. They become engaged and Andre-Louis has forgotten ALINE DE KERCADIOT], the friend of his childhood, who horrified him by listening to the wuit of the Mar- quis. While walking with Climene, he unexpectedly meets Aline. GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VIII “The door,” Aline commanded her footman, and ‘“‘Mount here beside me,” she commanded Andre-Louis, in the same breath. “A moment, Aline."” He turned to his companion, who SHE LOOKED SHYLY AT HER THE ROOM. In the carriage Aline was consider- ing Andre-Louis with grave eyes, lips slightly compressed, and a tiny frown between her finely drawn eyebrows. “‘You have taken to queer company, Andre,"” was the first thing she said to him, “Or else I am mistaken in thinking that your companion was Mile. Binet of the Theater Feydau." “You are not mistaken. But I had not imagined Mlle. Binet was so fa- mous already.” “‘Oh, as to that mademoi- selle shrugged. “It is simply that I was at the play last night.” “You were at the Feydau night? And I never saw you!" “‘Were you there, too?"” “Was I there!” he cried. Then he checked, and abruptly changed his tone. “Oh, yes, I was there,” he said, as commonplace as he could, beset by a sudden reluctance to avow that he had so willingly descended to depths that she must account unworthy. “I understand,” said she, and com- pressed her lips a little more tightly. “But what do you understand?" “The rare attractions of Mille. Bi- net. Naturally you would be at the theater. Do you know that you dis- appoint me, Andre? I was foolish enough to imagine you to be different; rather above such trivial pursuits. I conceived you something of an idealist. | “Sheer flattery."” “So I perceive. But you misled me. With your gift of acting I won- der that you haven't joined Mlle, Binet's troupe.’” “I have,” said he. He saw first incredulity, then con- last LOVER WHEN HE CAME INTO was all amazement, and to Harlequin and Columbine, who had at that mo- ment come up to share it. “You per- mit me, Climene?" said he, breath- lessly. '~ But it was more a statement than a question. ‘“‘Harlequin will take care of you. Au revoir, at dinner.” With that he sprang into the cab- riolet without waliting for a reply, and the regal equipage rolled away, leav- ing the three comedians staring after it, open-mouthed. Then Harlequin laughed. “A prince in disguise, mouche!” sald he. The frown melted brow. Resentment changed wilderment. “But who is she?" “His sister, of course,” said Harle- quin, quite definitely. our Scara- from Climene's to be- Red School House As reputed to have housed many of America’s leading men, a large number of whom were not privi- leged to supplement their common school education with a college course.

There was another. Finding myself forced to choose between the stage and the gallows, I had the in- credible weakness to prefer the for- mer. Shall I stop the carriage and remove the contamination of my disgusting person? Or shall I tell you how it happened?" “Tell me how it happened first. Then we will decide.” He told her how he met the Binet troupe, and how the men of the marechausee forced upon him the dis- covery that in its bosom he could lie safely lost until the hue and cry had died down. The explanation . dis- solved her iciness. “My poor Andre, why didn’t you tell me this at first?"” “For one thing, you didn't give me time, for another, I feared to shock {you with the spectacle of my degrada- tion. What did you think of the play last night?"” he continued. “It was amusing and well ceived.” | “Let me present you to the author.” “You? But the company Is one of the improvisers."” | “Even improvisers require an au-| !thor to write their scenarios. Soon I shall be wrting plays in the modern raanner.” | “You deceive yourself, my poor Andre. The piece last night would have been nothing without the play-| ers. You are fortunate in your Scaramouche.” “In confidence—I present him.” “You—S§caramouche? turned to regard him fully. smiled his close-lipped smile |made wrinkles like gashes in icheeks. He nodded. “And 1 didn’t recognize you!™ “I thank you for the tribute. You imagined, of course, that 1 was a escenc-shifter. And now the question I have been burning to ask. Why are you in Nantes, Aline?"” i “I am on a visit to my aunt, Mme de Sautron. She is receiving several guests today. M. De La Tour d'Azyr |15 to/be one of them.” Andre-Louis frowned and sighed. “Did you ever hear, Aline, how poor con- you to She He that his You?" i Philippe de Vilmorin came end?" !'Yes; 1 was told, first by my uncle; lh]e'n by M. de La Tour d'Azyr, him- “Did not that help to decide this marriage question?' “How could 1t? You don't expect me to judge between men in matters such as these?" “If you cannot judge, it is that you do not wish to judge.” His tone be- came harsh. “Wilfully you close your eyes to justice that might check the course of your unhealthy, unnatural ambition.” “I think I had better let you alight by his vorted on Its Bases San Francisco, July 1.—The twelve acre grass field in San DD SNDLOTHAS PRODUCED PLAYERS {Notable League Stag Oncg Ca-| Francisco's | Joe Connelly, in Little Rock's ontfield and.

And in horror she asked him present- ly: “You are married—married to that?"” “Not yet. But I shall be, soon. And let me tell you that this girl whom you visit with your ignorant contempt is as good and pure as you are, Aline. She has wit and talent wheh have placed her where she is and shall carry her a deal farther, And she has the womanliness to be guided by natural instincts in the se- lection of her mate." “You will descend this instant!" she told him fiercely.

He opened the door for himself without waiting for the footman, and leaped down. “My compliments,” said he, furiously, “to the assassin you are to marry.” He slammed the door. “Drive on, he bade the coachman. He got back to the inn to find the company at table. Harlequin and Columbine had spread the tale of this prince in disguise caught up into the chariot of a princess and carried off by her; and it was a tale that had lost nothing in the telling. Climene had been silent and thoughtful. Clearly her Scaramouche must be vastly other than he had hitherto appeared, or else that great lady and he would never have used such familiarity with each other. Imagining him no better than he was, Climene had made him her own. And now she was to receive the re- ward of disinterested aftection. Even old Binet's secret hostility toward Andre-Louis melted before this astounding revelation. He had pinched: his daughter's ear quite play- fully. “Ah, ah, trust you to have penetrated his disguise, my child!" Her father offended her. Scara- mouche was clearly a great gentle- man, an eccentric if you please, but a man born. And she was to be his lady. Her father must learn to treat her differently. She looked shyly—with a new shy- ness—at her lover when he came into the ‘room where they were dining. She observed for the first time that proud carriage of the head, with the chin thrust forward, that was a trick of his, and she noticed with what grace he moved—the grace of one who in youth has had his masters and fencing masters.
