They were alone together, lingering still at the table to which Andre-Louls had come belatedly, “Explanation?'" he “But on what score?" “On the score of the deception you have practiced on us—on me. You should not have pretended to be a simple ' country lawyer, which of :OI:!"’C. anyone could see that you are ot." “1 see,” he sald, and pulled at his pipe. “But you are wrong, Climene. I am neither more nor less than I have represented myself.” (“Ha! And that fine lady who car- ried you off in her cabriolet? What is;she to you?" “A sort o fsister,” sald he. “A sort of sister!” She was in- dignant. “Harlequin foretold that You would say so; but he was amusing himself. She has a name, I suppose, this sort of sister?” {Certainly she has a name, She is Mile. Aline de Kercadiou, the niece of Quintin de Kercadiou, Lord of Gar- rillac.” “Oho! That's a name, for your sort of sister. sort of sister, my friend?" For the first time in their relation- ship he observed and deplored the taint of vulgarity, of shrewdishness, in her manner. “Her uncle, M. de Kercadiou, is my godfather. It is popularly believed in Gavrillac that M. de Kercadiou is my father. He has certainly cared for my rearing from my tenderest years. I owe to him everything that 1 have—or, rather, everything that T had. Today I possess nothing save what'I ‘can earn for myself in the theater, or elsewhere.” She sat stunned and pale under that cruel blow-to her swelling pride. “You should have told me this be- fore,” she said, in a dull voice that she strove to render steady. PerHaps I shonld. But doe~s Questioned. sufficiently fine What it ‘WHAT PRECISELY DO YOU réally matter?” 2 ‘‘Matter?!" She suppressed her fury to ask another question. “You say that this M. de Kercadiou is popularly believed to be your father. What, pz‘eclse]y. do you mean?" “Just that. It is a bellef that I do not share,. It is a matter of instinct, perhaps, with me. Moreover, once I asked M. De Kercadiou point-blank, and I received from him a denial.” ““Aud your mother, was she equally ignorant?” She was sneering, but he did not remark it. Her back was to the light “He would not disclose her name to me. He confessed her to be a dear friend of his.” 3 She startled him by laughing, ana her_laugh was not pleasant. “A very dear friend, you may be sure, vou simpleton. What name do you bear?"" He restrained his own rising indig- nation to answer her question calmly: “Mureau. It was given me, 50 I am told, from the Brittany village in which 1 was born. In fact, I have no name, unless it be Scaramouche, ta which I have earned a title. So that you see, my dear,” he ended with a smile, “I have practiced no decep- tion whatever.” “No, no. I see that now.” She e HAVE DARK HAIR AND LOOK YOUNG Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea. Grandmother kept her hair beau- | mind the self-imposed but laughed without mirth, then drew a deep ‘breath and rose. “I am very tired,” she sald. She moved towards the door, drag- ging her feet a little, He sprang to open {t, and she passed out without looking at him. On the morrow Andre-Louis found his mind distracted by the thoughts of both Climene and Aline. It was Aline who provided the deeper per- turbation, Climene's attitude he re- garded as a passing phase. But the thought of Aline's conduct toward him kept rankling, and still more deeply rankled the thought of her possible betrothal to M. de La Tour d'Azyr, This it was that brought to his by now half-forgotten mission that he had made his own. He had boasted that he would make the voice which M. de La Tour d’Azyr had sought to silence ring through the length and breadth of the land, What a fine contrast between the promise and the ful- fillment! It happened that the first person he saw when he took the stage on that Thursday evening was Alife; the second was the Marquis d La Tour d'Azyr. They occupied a box on the right, of and immediately above, the stage. That was the evening’s first shock. The next came after the second act. Entering the green-room he found at the far end with Climene, over whom he was bending from his fine height, his eyes intent upon her face M. de La Tour d'Azyr. That night there were high works between Andre-Louis and Climene, the high words proceeding from Climene. When Andre-Louis again enjoined prudence upon his betrothed, she shocked and stunned him by her viru- lently shrewdish tone, and her still more unexpected force of invective. “I'll not tolerate your insensate jealousy. A girl in the theater must make it her business to accept hom- age from all.” ‘“Agreed; and there is no provided she gives nothing harm, in ex- MEAN?” SHE ASKED. change.” White-faced, with flaming eyes, she turned on him at that. “How? You dare?” “I know M. de La Tour d'Azyr,” he answered her. “He is a man who takes what he wants wherever he finds it and whether it is given will- NEW BRITAIN [ HE SUFFERED Until “Fruit-a-ives” Brought Perfect Health 49 AxpErsox St., PORTLAND, MAINE, ‘1 was troubled with Constipation ever since I can remember, As a result, was subject to distressing Headaches and Pain in my left side, I chanced to read about “Fruit-a- tives" in one of our local papers and | began their use about four months ago.

Ponder i, Climene, and ask yourself if I do you less than honor in warning you."” He went out on that, feeling a de- | gradation in continuing the subject. On Tuesday of the following week, Andre-Louis ran into a slightly bult, sallow-complexioned gentleman very | neatly dressed in black. “Moreau! Where the devil have you been hiding vourhelf these months?"” It was Le Chapelier, the lawyer, the leader of the Literary Chamber of Rennes. Without halting for reply, he continued: ‘You are the man we have been seeking everywhere, and— behold!—you drop from the skies into my path."” They crossed the square and entered the cafe. “I suppose you haven't heard of the royal order for the convocation of the States General, or the terms of them—that we are to have what we demanded, what you demanded for us here in Nantes! ~ You haven’t heard of the fresh uproar in Rennes, last month. The order was that the three estates should sit together at the | States General but in Rennes the nobles took up arms, headed by your old friend, M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and they were for slashing us—the members of the Third Estate—into ribbons 8o as to put an end to our in- solence.” He laughed delicately. “But, by God, we showed them that we, too, could take up arms. We fought them a pitched battle in the streets, and so peppered them that they were glad to take shelter in the Cordelier Convent,” ‘It is odd,” said Andre-Louis, “that I should never perceive that Nantes is eing politically active.” That night at the theater he had a | mischievous impulse to test what Le | Chapelier had told. him of the state. of public feeling in the city. They | were playing “The Terrible Captain," in the last act of which the empty cowardice of the hullying braggart Rhodomont is reyealed by Scara-| mouche. ‘ | After the laughter which the ex-| posure . of the roaring captain in- variably produced, it remained for Scaramouche contemptously to dis-| miss him in a phrase that varied nightly. This time he chose to give | his phrase a political complexion: “Thus, O coward, is your emptiness | exposed. Because of your long| length and your great sword people have imagined you to be as terrible and as formidable as you insolently| make yourself appear. But at the first touch of true spirit, you crumple up, you tremble, you whine pitifully, | Cuticura Soap For the Han__(!fi nothing of the misery he scatters on | !terday went to work in the DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, and the great sword remains in your | scabbard.

'WAY MAINTENANCE EAPLOYES T0 ACT | Canvass of Strike Yote by 400,000 Tnvolved Holds Interest Today ‘ Chicago, July 3. — (By Associated Press)—Ralilway strike interest which | centered over the week-end on the walkout Saturday of shopmen whose union holds in its ranks 400,000 men, today turned to developments depend- | ent upon the canvass at Detroit to- day of the strike vote of 400,000 maintenance of way employes and ac- tion by their union officials. Two days of the strike of shop craftsmen has falled, according to re- ports, to interfere seriously with transportation or to produce a definite statement of the number of men out. Edward F. Grable, president of the maintenance of way employes, who returned to Detroit after conferences here with officials of other unions to- day apparently held the key to the strike situation and upon him hopes for averting further walkouts largely were banked. Claims on the completeness and ef- fectiveness of the shopmen's strike differed -according to the sources Union officials asserted that the walk- out was' virtually 100 per cent. and would seriously hamper railroad op- erations. Railway executives tenta- tively fixed 90 per cent as the maxi- mum number out. In some rail centers, plans were in preparation for ‘replacing strikers | with workers under open shop ar- | rangements, The New York Central | railroad inserted large advertisements in Chicago newspapers.

Nelson, chairman of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis raflway system shop crafts, issued a | statement at Nashville, Tenn., as- serting that politics and unfairness to labor were mixed in rail board deci- | sions. He sald that with the excep-| tion of one increase granted in July, 1920, practically every decision hand- ed down, has been against the em- ployes. "“The decisions except wages that have been directed against the rallroads have been disregarded by the largest railroads of the country,” he said. He charges that Judge Barton of Tennessee, who is a member of the public group, and Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the board, also from Tennessee, received appointments be- cause of political alignments.
