Shall I convince him? Shall I tell him how a company of noblemen backed by their servants under arms—six hundred men in all— sought to dictate to the Third Estate of Rennes? Must I remind him of the martial front shown by the Third Estate, and how they swept the streets clean of that rabble of nobles—cette canaille noble . b Applause interrupted him, The phrase had struck home and caught. “But let me tell you of their leader =le plus noble de cette canaille, ou blen le plus canaille des ces nobles! You know him-—that one. He fears many things, but the voice of truth he tears most, does this' proud leader, M. de La Tour d'Azyr. You have heard of this vallant Marquis, this great lord of life and death?” The pit was in an uproar ment, It quieted again as mouche continued “Oh, it was a fine spectacle to see this mighty hunter scuttling to cover like a hare. Rennes has not seen him since. Rennes would like to see him again. But if he is valorous, he is also discreet. And where do you think he has taken refuge, this great nobleman who wanted to see the streets of Rennes washed in the blood of its citizens, to silence the voice of reason and of liberty that presumes to ring through France today? ‘Where do you'thing he hides himself? Why, here in Nantes.” Again there was uproar. ““What do you say? Impossible ? Why, my friends, at this moment he is here in this theater—skulking up there in that box. too shy to show himself—oh, a very modest gentleman. But there he is behind the curtains Will you not show yourself to your friends, M. de lLa Tour d'Azyr, Monsieur le Marquis who considers eloquence so very dangerous a mo- Scara- cemedians who hung upon Binet, After him they came now, their swords out but after them again came Polichinelle, Rhodomont, Harlequin, Plerrot, Pasquariel, armed with such implements as they could hastily snatch up, and intent upon saving the man with whom they sympathized in spite of all, Well ahead rolled Binet, swinging the long cane from which Pantaloon is inseparable, “Infamous scoundrel)" he roared, Name of a name, you shall pay!" Andre-Louls turned to face him. Binet's cane, viclously driven, de- scended and broke upon his shoulder. Had be not moved swiftly aside as the blow fell it must have taken him across the head, and possibly stunned him, As he moved, he dropped his hand to his pocket, and swift upon the cracking of Binet's breaking cane came the crack of the pistol with which Andre-Louis replied, “You had your warning, you filthy pander!” he cried. And on the word he shot him through the body. Binet went down screaming, whilst the fierce Polichinelle, flercer than ever in that moment of fierce reality, spoke quickly into Andre-Louis' ear: “Fool! So much was not necessary! Away with you now, or you'll leave your skin here!" Andre-Louis thought it good ad- vice and took it. He gained the wings, and here found himself faced by a couple of sergeants of the watch, part of the police that was already in- vading the theater with a view to re- storing order. “Make way, or I'll burn your brains!" he threatened them, and in- timidated, they fell back and let him pass. The street behind the theater was deserted, Down this he went on the run, intent on reaching the inn for clothes and money. BOOK III: THE SWORD CHAPTER I. “You may agree,” wrote Andre- Louis from Paris to LeChapelier, in a letter which survives, “that it is to be regretted I should definitely have dis- carded the livery of since clearly there could be no livery “AWAY WITH YOU NOW, OR YOU'LL LEAVE YOUR S€KIN HERE!" a gift?” Challenged thus, and despite the ominous manner in which the bour- geois element in the audience had re- sponded to Scaramouche's appeal to its passions, the Marquis swept aside the curtain at the side of the box, and suddenly showed himself. Hoots and yells assailed him, fists were shaken at him, canes were bran- dished menacingly. “Assassin! Scoundrel! Traitor!"” But he braved the storm, smiling upon them his ineffable contempt. In the pit pandemonium was al- ready raging. Dlows were being freely exchanged there were scuffling groups, and here and there swords were being drawn, but fortunately the press was too dense to permit of their being--used effectively. Men . fell quickly into groups repre- genfative of one side or the other of this great quarrel that already was beginning to agitate the whole of France. Their rallying cries were ringing down through the theater. “Down with the canaille!” from some. “Down with the privileged!"” from others. And then above the general din one cry rang out sharply and insistently: “To the box! Death to the butcher of Rennes! Death to La Tour d’Azyr!" There was a rush for one of the doors of the pit that opened upon the staircase leading to the boxes. M. Binet succeeded in breaking past Polichinelle and Rhodomont. Half a dozen gentlemen, habitues of‘ the green-rooni, had come round to the stage to disembowel the knave| who had created this riot, and it was they who had flung aside these two Coward!
