True enough" said LIE Chapelier
gloomily; and then, as if suddenly
leaping to the thing in Andre Louis
mind: ANDRE" he cried. Would
you -"
1T is what I was considering. 1t
would give me a legitimate place in
the Assembly. If your Tours d'Azyrs
choose to seek me out then, why,
their blood be upon their own heads.
l shall certainly do nothing to dis
courage them" He smiled curiously.
Il am just a rascal who tries to be
honest-Scaramouche always, n
fact; a creature for sophistries."
CHAPTER VI
After an absence of rather more
than a week, NJ. lie Marquis de La
Tour d'Azyr was back in his place
on the Cote Droit of the National
Assembly.
M. Andre Louis Moreau, deputy
suppleant, vice Emmanuel Lagron,
deceased. for Anciens in the Depart
ment of the Loire"
NJ. de 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 object of grim in
terest to him. That interest was
heightened when he heard him
named, when, looking across, he
recognized indeed in this Andre
Louis Moreau the young scoundrel
who was continually crossing 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
Gavrillsc two years ago..
He looked at the young lar in
wonder rather than in anger, and
looking 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 equivocal terms.
II come before you" Andre Louis
began, las a deputy suppleant to fill
the place of one who vas murdered
some three weeks ago."
1t was a challenging opening that
instantly provoked an indignant out
cry from the Blacks. Andre Louis
paused. and looked at them, smiling

The gentlemen of the Right, NJ.

ing. The gentlemen of the Right
VIGOROUSLY do not like the truth"
This time there was uproar. The
members of the Left roared with
laughter. those of the Right thun-
dered menacinp1y
Above the general din came the
voice of La Tour d'Azyr, who had
half risen from his seat: "Mounte-
bank. This is not the theatre!"
mo, monsieur, it is becoming a
hunting ground for bully-swords-
men," was the answer, and the up
oar grew.
Gradually the uproar wore itself
out, and diminished so that at last
the President could make himself
heard. Leaning forward, he grave
ly addressed the young man in the
tribune:

: COUNTY MEN
IN BOOZE CASE
Cranbury Residents Held in
Heavy Bail for Booze
Robbery Plot

TRENTON. July s:-Five men
who were captured Thursday night
when they made a bold attempt to
steal liquor valued at more than
100000 from the Manning ware
house here, in which all government
confiscated liquor is stored, were
held under 100000 bail each when
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Wilson here yesterday al
ternoon. The men are: Irving
Linewitz, twenty years old, Trenton:
Gilbert Lake. twenty-five years old.
Plainield; Edward Cabner. twenty
one "a old, Cranbury; Max Kerr
ner. twenty-eight years old, Gran
bury, and Kerner's brother. Isaac,
forty years old. of New York.
The attempted liquor robbery was
frustrated when the Waterman at
the warehouse exposed the plan. He
had been offered $4,000 by the five
men to allow the liquor to be car
ried away in three trucks, which
they also, it is said, planned to steal.
The Waterman notified United
States Marshal Mulheron here of
the proposed robbery. and the latter
detailed Chief Deputy Marshal
Woodbury. B. Snowden and fourteen
government agents together with
several of the local police officers.
The officers secreted themselves in
the warehouse and waited for the
arrival of the men. 1t was 6 o'clock
in the evening when the officers
wen to the building. and the five
men under arrest did not appear
until shortly before II o'clock.
The plan was to take the liquor
away in trucks to a farm near New
Brunswick, from which place 1t was
to be sold. presumably to New York
b~ootleggers. William j.. Burns,
chief of the department of justice
at Washington. was in the city al
the time of the raid but denied any
connection with it. He stated h
simply came to make a friendly
visit" to the marshal.

SOUTH AMbOY
AWAITS FERRY
Still Have Hopes That Line
Will be Operated to South
Amboy

SOUTH AMBOY, July s-What
happened to the ferry proposition?
Seenro to be the all important cues
ton being raised at this time as 1t
is long past the scheduled time for
the docks. wharss and ferry itself
to have been presented for view. The
idea of a ferry for this city was well
coined by almo.t every individual
and almost Immediately the propo-
sition was looked upon as a very
favorable proposition, but that in
teres. has subsidized a bit. Instead
there is a little anxiety on the part
OF those sane staunch supporters of
the move
From some sources which are re-
liable to an extent, comes the pos
tive assurance that a ferry will be
in operation from this city TO a
point on Staten Island. but the
question that confronts this assur-
ancs is when? and it remains un-
answered.
l. is understood that at the last
meeting between the ferry officials
and the city council, plans were dis
cussed relative to the approach to
the local shores. At hat time the
majority of those concerned favored
the John street landing. although
the loot of B~ordentown avenu
would be the ideal location for a
landing, as 1t would mean a direct
route to the intersection OF Pine
avenue, and thence to the shore.
Then. too, the grade crossing would
be eliminated and traffic through the
principal streets would be diverted.
But, water rights at this point are
uncertain ard the Whitehead Broth
ers and merchants are using this
section for their shipping. For that
reason the project has been .aban-
doned.
John street is also looked upon
: with favor, but for the grade cross
ing, although traffic could be divert
ed to the George street bridge. This
route would then eliminate the
crossing entirely and would be the
best possible route, outside OF the
B~ordentowli avenue approach.
From all accounts John street will
be paved from the shore to Broad
way. and 1t is believed that the ferry
company WI have to share a portion
of this improvement should they de-
eide to make this street part OF
their route.
No matter where the ferry lands.
the proposition looks good to many,
and the keen sense of these people
hope for suitable action. and that
within a short time.

ACT To COLLECT
TAX ON AUTOS
James Mullen and Thomas
Connors Made Special Tax
Deputies Here

In keeping with the resolution
passed by the aldermen this week
to force automobile to pay
the municipal automobile tax, James
A. Mullen. OF PA New Brunswick
avenue, and Thomas Connors, OF
102 Buckingham avenue. have been
made special tax deputies to enforce
the terms OF the resolution. Both OF
these men are clerks in city hall,
assisted In making up and sending
out the automobile tax bills and
therefore are familiar with the
workings OF this particular part of
the collectors Office.
Alderman John j. Clark. chairman
Of the committee on taxstion and
sponsor of the resolution put
through Wednesday night, selected
the two city hall clerks as the depu-
ties to follow up this important
matter owing to their knowledge of
the subject.

mobile tax bills outstanding. and,

Monsieur, II you wish to be heard
let me beg of Vol not to be provoca-
tive in your language" And then to
the others: "Monsieurs, If we are to
proceed, 1 beg that you restrain
your feelings until the deputy-sup-
pleant has concluded his discourse"
II shall endeavor to obey, NJ. lie
President, leaving provocation to the
gentlemen of the Right. But it was
necessary that / should refer to the
distinguished deputy whose place l
come SO unworthily to fill, and it
was unavoidable that l should refer
to the event which has procured us
this sad necessity. The deputy La
gron possessed what his opponents
would call a dangerous gift of elo-
quence."
La Tour d'Azyr writhed at the
we'll known phrase-his W 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 his teeth with such vindictive
menace.
Solemnly he proceeded. You all
know how Lagron died. l 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"
There was a faint murmur of ap-
plause from the Left, a splutter of
contemptuous laughter from the
Right.
"Rhodomont!" a voice called to
him.
He looked in the direction of that
voice. proceeding from the group OF
spadassins amid the Blacks. Inau0i-
bly, his lips answered:
NO, my friend Scaramouche;
Scaramouche, the subtle, dangerous
fellow who goes tortuously to his
ends" Aloud. he resumed: IN. lie
President, there are some who want,
it seems. not laws, but blood: l
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'Azyr. He turned in the
fresh uproar to speak to his cousin
Chabrillane who sat beside him.
"A daring rogue, this bastard OF
Gavrillas's," said he.
Chabrillane looked at him with
cleaning eyes, his face white with
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 told
why. but he sank back in his seat
with a m of relief.
Meanwhile. leaving now the sub
ject of the death of Lagron, the
deputy suppleant was speaking upon
the question under debate. His
speech on the subject was very brief
that being the pretext and not the
purpose for which he had assembled
the tribune.
When later he was leaving the hall
at the end of the sitting, with lie
Chapelier at his side, he found him
self densely surrounded by deputies
as by a body guard. Most of them
were Bretons, who aimed at screen
ing him from the p~rovocations
which his own provocative words In
the Assembly could not fail to bring
down upon his head.
Emerging now into the open under
the great awning, those in front OF
him dispersed a little, and there was
a moment as he reached the limit OF
the awning when his front was en-
tirely uncovered. Outside the rain
was falling heavily. churning the
ground into thick mud.
The watchful Chabrillane had seen
his chance. Rudely. violently. he
thrust Andre Louis back. as If to
make room for himself under the
shelter.

CHAPTER v
One morning in August the AGA.
denny in the Rue du Hasard was
invaded by LIE Chapelier accom-
panied by a man of remarkable ap.
pearance, whose herculean sta
ture was disfigured c%ountenance
seemed vaguely familiar to Andre
Louis.
LIE Chapelier, whose manner was
very grave, named him to Andre
Louis.
This is NJ. Danton, a brother
lawyer, President of the Cordeliers,
of whom you will have heard"
OF course Andre Louis had heard
, OF him. Who had not. by then?
LIE Chapelier proceeded. 1T 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'll have heard
of the duel between Lameth and the
Duo de Castries?"
"A trifling affair"
In it's results. But it might have
been far other. Mirabeau is chal-
lenged and insulted now at every
sitting. But he goes his way, cold
bloodedly wise. Others are not go
circumspect; they meet insult with
insult, blow with blow, and blood is
being shed in private duels. The
thing is reduced by these swords
men of nobility to a SYSTEM"
Andre Louis nodded. He was
thinking of Philippe de Vilmorin.
Yes" he said, sit is an old trick of
theirs. 1t is so simple and direct
like themselves. l wonder only that
they didn't hit upon this system
sooner"
But they mean to make up for
lost time-sacred name." cried Dan
ton. challenges are flying right and
left between these bully sw~ordsnlen,
these spadassincides, and poor
devils Of the robe who have never
learnt 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"
"Who?"
Sharp as a pistol shot came that
question, as Danton was turning
away The tone of it brought him
UP short. He turned again, lie
.fChapeller With MIN.
J Il said NJ. de La Hour d'Azyr."
And it is La Tour d'AZyr you de-
sire me to kill?" asked Andre Louis
very slowly. after the n of n
whose thoughts are meanwhile pom
dering the subject.
That's it," said Danton. And
not a job for a prentice band, l can
assure you"
"Ah, but this alters things" said
Andre Louis, thinking aloud. ut
offers a great temptation"
LIE Chapelier and Danton ex-
changed glances, then watched him,
waiting, what time he considered.
He turned to them again, and they
saw that he was very pale, that ms
great black eyes glowed oddly.
There will probably be some diff
