CHAPTER Y.

CHAPTER v.
One morning In August the acad-
envy In Rue du Hasard was invaded
BY Le Chapelfef accompanied by
. man Of remarkable appearance,
whose herculean stature and dis
figured c0untenance seemed vague
~ familiar to AMBIGUOUS
Le Chapelier, whose manner was
very grave, named him to Andre
Louis.
This is NJ. Dsnton, 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 Es-
tate and the Privileged"
Was It ever anything else"
Perhaps not; but it has as
sumed new character. You'll
have heard Of the duel between
Lameth and the Due de Castries.
"A trifling affair"
I'm its results. But it might
have been far other. Mirabeau is
challenged and ihsulted now at
every sitting. But he goes his way,
cold bloodedly wise. Others are
not so circumspect; they meet in
suit with insult. blow with blow,
and blood is being shed in private
duels. The thing is reduced by
these swordsmen Of nobility to a
system"
Andre-Louis nodded. He was
thinking Of Philippe de Vilmorin
"Yes," he said, ut is an old trick
OF theirs. 1t is SO simple and direct
like themselves. I wonder only
that they didn't hit upon this sys-
tenn sooner"
But they mean to make up for
lost time-sacred name!" cried
Danton. Challenges are flying
right and left between these bully
swordsmen, these spadassinicides
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 Il
extinguish M. de La Tour d,Azy1
and his friends"
"Who?"
Sharp as a pistol-shot came that
question, as Danton was turning
away. The tone OF it brought him
I'D short. He turned again. LIZ
Chapelier with him.

the viewpoint Of senators, the
change from McCumber to Frazier
would be trading the devil for the
witch. so, to say, were it not that
Frazier as a newcomer will not be
permitted to bore the senate as Nc
Cumber has" while the New York
Evening Post (Ind.) suggests that
what is plain at the moment is
that the anti-old guard wing of the
Republican party is winning all
along the line. Upon that fact both
the party and the country are to be
Congratulated"
The Wilmington Journal (Rep.)
sees in the downfall of McCumber
an early change in the attitude OF
the senate toward the soldiers
bonus legislation, being convinced
that McCumber has no one but
himself to blame for the disaster
| that has overtaken him at the polls
He was warned from all sides that
in becoming the leading advocate
! in the senate of the proposed bonus
raid, he was flying in the face OF
an outraging American sentiment
; Regardless Of the opposition to
his various legislative proposals
which entered into the campaign
the Springfield Republican QndD is
convinced that "Frazier's present
success in defeating McCumbel
does not necessarily show that thu
tide Of agrarian radicalism is ris
ing again" 1t suggests there will
/ be Democratic non-partisan com
/ bination against him in the genera
election and insists that "a NOR,
conclusive test Of present tenden
], cies in North Dakota, therefore
will come at the polls in autumn.
The loss to the senate itself is no
irreparable, the Philadelphia Publ
Ledger (Ind.) says, because tween
ty years ago McCumber ranked a
minor member Of the senate, al
/. though such men as Beverage. VIII
entered with him, had attaine
prestige. Yet today he passes GU
as statesman. He does not diffe
from what he was then. The dit
ference is in the senate. 1t has s
deteriorated from what it was the
that McCumber in 1922 is as bi
man as was Hoar Of 1902"

Professor Clinlscales would doubt
less confess to Mr.. Sunday that he
had never eaten a hot meal on Sun
day until he came to Spartanburg,
and he would also be sure to tell
him chat he never spoke of the
Lords Day as other than the Sab
bath day. In "The Bonnie Briar
Bush," Mr.. Sunday will recollect
that John Peddie, of Muirtown, "who
always approached two hours" spoke
at the time of the Drumtochty Fast
on the total depravity of the human
race, Burnbrae reported:
"They were saying at the Presby-
terry that it has mair than seventy
heads, countin' pints, of 'coorse, and
a. can weel believe it. Ma, ma, it's no
tae be expeck it that Elspeth eud gle
than a. after ae hearin." =.
"Jamie Soutar looked in to set
his mind at rest, and Elspeth went
to work at once.
"'Sit doom, Jamie, for it Gamma be
dune in a meenut.'
"It took twenty-three minutes ex-
actly, for Jamie watched the clock" "
"'That's tho laist, maxim seev-
enty-four, and ye may depend on
every ane but that fourth pint un-
der the sixth head. Whether it was
the "beginnin' O. faith" or the "ori-
gin," I Gamma be sure, for he cleared
his throat at the time" .-..
Possibly, Mr.. Sunday would find
Elspeth McFadyens a-plenty down
there now, but the most of her sort
have departed. this life. 7 She is
noted here to advise Mr.. Sunday Of
his owl sort Of folks who live at
Due West and have made it great
among the! communities of this
country. "Conform?" Why, Mr..
Sunday, they would see the whole
concern go to Halifax before they
would think of it for a moment. If
he would like to "read up" about
them before going over there, he
has a friend in this town who would
lend him some books about them
with bond and mortgage for their
return. { - - ~,

will not do this. The tax against

against incomes (of considerable
