scaramouche. BY Rafael sabatini

Scaramouche, By Rafael Sabatini
A romance of the days of the
French revolution. The hero, An
DIRE Louis Moreau, to avenge the
death of his friend at the hands
of rich noble, adopted that
friends revolutionary creed and
used his own great powers of
eloquence to further the repub-
lican cause. During four crowded
years of adventure he was sue
cessively lawyer, politician, swords
man, buffoon, and in each of
these roles his path repeatedly
crossed that of his sworn enemy.
1t was also one OF the fates IRON
les that they should love the same
woman. More than once as the
lines of their lives crossed his
enemy's fate was in his hands, but
Andres nobility of character pre-
vented him from pressing his adj
vantage. In the end love and
happiness crowned his adventures.
Scaramouche is a cloak-and-
sword story of the fashioned
kind, a lineal defendant of the
novels of Dumas the elder and a
contemporary of the tales Of the
Scarlet Pimpernal.
