pale with anger, contained himself
with difficulty.

He had broken his futile lance

ceived, by sheer good fortune tnat
he had escaped without hurt. There
remained the wind itself-the
whirlwind. And the events in Rem
mes, reflex of the graver events IN
Nantes, had set that wind blowing
in his favor.
He set out briskly to retrace his
steps toward the Place Royale,
where the gathering of the populace
was greatest.

An artisan who stood shoulder

enlightened Andre-Louis on the
score of the increased excitement.
They've shot him dead. His body
is lying there where it fell at the
foot of the statue. And there was

he proceeded at once to state his
case, beginning with the shooting
of Mabey, and passing thence to the
killing of M de Vilmorin. But he
withheld until the end the name of
the great gentleman against whom
he demanded justice.
"And who, sir. is the man you
charge with this?"
THE Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr.
"Who?' he shouted, and without
waiting for an answer, why, here s

The effect was electric. A stir
ran. like ripple over water, across
that froth of upturned human

up at him the while in sheer
amazement. What had come to

''Of assassins what shall you look

There was an interruption. A
voice in the crowd, some twenty

Immediately after the voice came
pistol-shot and a bullet fiattened

CHAPTER vi.
1t was on a horse hired from the
Breton Arme that Andre-Louis set
out next morningi and an hours
brisk ride brought him to the city
OF Rennes.
He rode into the upper and prin-
cipal part of that important city of
some thirty thousand souls and
came at last to the Place Royale,
where he found the crowd to be
most dense. From the pIinth of the
equestrian statue of Louis XIV a
white-faced young man was excit-
edly addressing the multitude. His
youth and dress proclaimed the stu
dent, and a group of his fellows act
ing as a guard of honor to him kept

Corne de Cert, and set out to the

That the Kings lieutenant conde-

into a fine, well-lighted room fur

1T was a trivial setting for a
Kings Lieutenant, but about the
