SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1922, e T T e e e e e e e e ey NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, '© by Rafacl Sabatint (Continued From Our Last Issue) CHAPTER V, One morning in August the aca- demy in the Rue du Hasard was In- vaded by Le Chapelier accompanied by a man of remarkable appearance, whose herculean stature and dis- figured countenance seemed vaguely famillar to Andre-Louis, Le Chapelier, whose very grave, named him Louis. “This is M. Danton, a brother- lawyer, president of the Cordeliers, of whom you will have heard.” Of course Andre-loulg had” heard of him. Who had not, by then? Le Chapelier’ proceeded, “It is open war between the Third Estate and the Privileged.” “Was it ever anything else?” “Perhaps not; but it has assumed a new character. You have heard of the duel between Lameth and the Duc de Castries?" “A trifiing affair” “In its results. But it might have been far other. Mirabeau is chal- lenged and insulted now at every sit- ting. But he goes his way, cold- bloodedly wise. Others are not so circumspect; they meet insult with in- sult, blow with blow, and blood is being shed in private duels. The thing is reduced by these swordsmen of noblility to a system." Andre-Louis nodded. He was thinking of Philippe de Vilmorin. “Yes,” he said, “it is an old trick of theirs. It is so simple and direct— like themselves. I wonder only that they didn’t hit upon this sooner.’ “But they meean to make up for lost time—sacred name!" cried Dan. ton. ‘‘Challenges are flying right and left between these bully-swordsmen, these spadassinicides, and poor devils of the robe who have never learned to fence anything but a quill. It's just—murder."” Said Danton, ‘Between us we must resolve the riddle of how to ex- tinguish M. de La Tour d'Azyr and his friends. manner was to Andre- | system ; | “I come before you,” Andre-Louis began, “as a deputy-suppleant to fill the place of one who was murdered some three weeks ago." It was a challenging opening that Instantly provoked an indignant out- ery from the Blacks, Andre-Louls paused, and looked at them, smiling a little, a singularly self-confident young man, “The gentlemen of the Right, M, le President, do not appear to like my words, But that is not surprising. The gentlemen of the Right notorious- ly do not like the truth." This time there was uproar. The members of the Left roared with laughter, those of the Right thun- dered menacingly, Above the general din voice of La Tour d'Azyr, who had half-risen from his seat: ‘“Monte- bank! This is not the theater!” “No, monsieur, it is becoming a hunting-ground for bully-swordsmen," was the answer, and the uproar grew. Gradually the uproar wore itself out, and diminished so that at last the President could make himself heard. Leaning forward, he gravely addressed the young man in the tribune: ‘‘Monsieur, if you wish to be heard, let me beg of you not to be provoca- tive in your language.” And then to the others: ‘‘Messieurs, if we are to proceed, I beg that you will restrain your feelings until the deputy-sup- pleant has concluded his discourse.” “I shall endeavor to obey, M. le President, leaving provocation to the| gentlemen of the Right. But it was| necessity, The deputy Lagron distinguished deputy whose place I come so unworthily to fill, and it was unavoidable that I should refer to the event which has procured us this sad necessity. The deputy Logron possessed what his opponents would call a dangerous gift of eloquence.” La Tour d'Azyr writhed at the well-known phrase—his own phrase— the phrase that he had used to ex- plain his action in the matter of Philippe de Vilmorin, the phrase that from time to time had been cast in came the “Who?" HE LOOKED IN THE DIRECTION OF THAT VOICE. came that! Sharp as a pistol-shot i question, as Danton was turning away. The tone of it brought him up short. He turned again, Le Chapelier with him. “I said M. de La Tour d'Azyr | “And it is La Tour d'Azyr you de-! sire me to kill?” asked Andre-Louis| very slowly, after the manner of one| whose thoughts are meanwhile pon- dering the subject. “That’s it,” said Danton. a job for a prentice hand, assure you.” “Ah, but this alters things,” Andre-Louis, thnking aloud. offers a great temptation.” Le Chapelier and Danton exchanged glances, then watched him, waiting, what time he considered. He turned to them again, and they saw that he was very pale, that his great dark eyes glowed oddly. “There will probably be some diffi- culty in finding a supplement for this poor Lagron,” he said. 'Our fellow- countrymen will be none to éager to offer themselves to the swords of Privilege.” “True enough,” said Le Chapelier gloomily and then, as if suddenly leaping to the thing in Andre-Louis' mind: ‘“Andre!” he cried. “Would you .. . ? “It is what I was considering. Tt would give me a legitimate place in the Assembly. If your Tour d'Azyrs choose to seek me out then, why, their blood be upon their own heads. I shall certainly do nothing to dis- courage them.” He smiled curiously. “I am just a rascal who tries to be honest—Scaramouche always, in fact; a creature for sophistries.” CHAPTER VI. After an absence of rather more than a week, M. le Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr was back in his place on the Cote Droit of the National As- 1y. “T{b )f’le La Tour d'Azyr shook him- self out of the gloomy abstraction in which he had sat. The successor of the deputy he had slain must, in any event, be an ohject of grim interest to him. That interest was heightened when he heard him named, when looking across, he recognized indeed in this Andre-Louis Morean the young scoundrel who was continually cross- ing his path, continually exerting against him a deep-moving, sinister influence to make him regret that he should have spared his life that day at Gavrillac two ‘years ago. He looked at the young man wonder rather than in anger, and Jooking at him he was filled by a vague, almost a premonitory, uneasi- ness. At the very outset, the presence which in itself he conceived to be a challenge was to demonstrate itself for this in no eguivecal terms ““And not I can said 16 in his teeth with such vindictive menace. Solemnly he proceeded. “You all know how Lagron died. T trust, for! the sake of those who might attempt | it, that the means taken to impose sentence upon that eloquent voice will | not be taken to impose silence upon | mine,” WS HEALTH WS WRECKED “FRUIT-A.TIVES", The Famons Fruit Medicine Completely Restored Him CECIL STOWE 654Quinnipiac Av., New Haven,Conn. “I was run down in health and terribly nervous.

In- audibly his lips answered: “No, my friend—Scaramouche; Scaramouche, the subtle, dangeroua fellow who goes tortuously to his ends.” Aloud, he resumed: “M. le President, there are some who want, it seems, not laws, but blood; I solemnly warn them that this blood will end by choking them." Again in that phrase there was something that stirred a memory in La Tour d'/ He turned in the fresh uproar to speak to his cousin Chabrillane who sat beside him. “A daring rogue, this bastard of | Gavrillac's,” he. Chabrillane looked at gleaming eyes, his face anger. “Let him talk himself out. 1 don't think he will be heard again after today. Leave this to me."” Hardly. could La Tour have why, but he sank back in his with a sense of relief|. Meanwhile, leaving now the subject of the death of Lagron, the deputy- | suppleant was speaking upon the | question under debate. His xpp»rh{ on the subject was very brief—that | being the pretext and not the purpose | for which he had ascended the| tribune.
