Congress is now shocked over the suggestion that the
country needs food dictator That is to say it pre-
tends to be shocked. Senator Reed of Missouri, says
it would mean despotism Are we to from this
that the Missouri way of handling the price boosting,
food cornerng problem would be by the summary pro-
cesses of lynch law? Emerson would be a good anti
dote for the mock devotion which Congress pays to
democracy. The two houses might well dispense with
prayer few mornings of each week and devote the
time to communion with the works of the philosopher.

1t was thus we approached the dais,

us was Du L'Hut. whose name Cas-

with long fair hair sweeping his shoul-
ders. | had heard Of him as a daring
explorer, but there was no premonition
that he would ever again come into
my life, and l vas more deeply inter-
ested in the appearance Of La Barre.
He, was a dark man, stern Of face,
and with strange, furtive eyes, con-
cealed behind long lashes and over
hanging brows. Yet he was most gra-

CHAPTER ".
In the Palace Of the Intendant.

In the Palace OF the Intendant.
The huge palace Of the irtendant,
between the bluff and the river, was
ablaze with lights, and already crowd
ed with guests at our arrival. l had
seen nothing OF Chevet since the
morning, nor did he appear now; but
Monsieur Cassion was prompt enough.
and congratulated me or my appear
ance with bows, and words Of praise
which made me flush with embarrass-
ment.
An officer met us, pointing out the
way. and, after he had assisted us to
descend from the chair, we advanced
slowly owe a carpet Of clean straw
toward the gayly lighted entrance.
Soldiers lined the walls on either side,
end overhead blazed a beacon sus-
pended on a chain. 1t was a scene
vather grotesque and weird in the red
glow, and I took Cassion's arm gladly,
feeling just a little frightened by the
strange surroundings.
"Where is my Uncle Chevet?" l
asked, more as a relief, than because
[ cared, although l was glad of his
absence because Of D'Artigny.
"In faith, l know not" he answered
lightly. Il won him a card, but he
was scarce gracious about it. In some
wine shop likely with others Of his
kind"
There were servants at the door and
an officer. who scanned the cards OF
those in advance Of us, yet passed Cas-
sion. with a glance at his face, and
word of recognition. | observed him
turn and stare after me, for II eyes
met, but, almost before l knew what
had occurred. l found myself in a side
room, with a maid helping to remove
my wraps, and arrange my hair.
I will not describe the scene in the
great ballroom, for now, as l write,
the brilliant pageant is but a dim
recall the bright lights overhead, and
along the walls, the festooned banners,
the raised dais at n end, carpeted
with skins Of wild animals, where the
governor stood, the walls covered with
arms and trophies of the chase, the
guard of soldiers at each entrance, and
the mass Of people grouped about the
room.
Many a name reached my ears IA
nous in those days, but forgotten long
since; and once or twice, as we slowly
made our way through the throng,
Cassion pointed out to me some char.

gravely enough. could I hope that
you were ever seeking me yonderT
at would be the truth, II you did,"
I responded frankly. "and I was be-
ginning to doubt your promise"
"Nor was 1t as easily kept as I sup
posed when given" he said under his
breath. "Come with me into this side
room where we can more
freely-I can perceive Monsieur Cas-
sion across the floor. No doubt he Is
seeking you. and my presence here
will give the man no pleasure"
I glanced In the direction indicated.
and although l saw nothing Of the
commissaire, I slipped back willingly
enough through the lifted curtain into
the deserted room behind. 1t was
evidently an Office Of some kind, for
It contained only a desk and some
chairs. and was unlighted, except for
the CLEAN from between the curtains.
The outer wall was 80 thick a consid-
cradle space separated the 0 from
the window, which was screened OF by
heavy drapery. D'Artgny appeared
familiar with these details. for, with
scarcely a glance about, he led me
into this recess, where we stood con-
cealed. Lights from below illumined
our faces. and revealed an open win
dow looking down on the court. My
companion glanced out at the scene
beneath. and his eyes and lips smiled
as he turned again and faced me.
"But, monsieur" I questioned puz-
zled, "why was 1t not easy? You met
with trouble?"
Hardly that; a mere annoyance.
