There were two burning motives in the heart of AN'DBE-LOUIS MOREAU. which drove him to seek vengeance on the great noble of Brittany, the MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D’AZYR. The profligate noble was suing for the hand of the young and beautiful ALINE DE KERCADIOU, niece of the Lord of Oavrillac. QUENTIN DE KERCADIOU. who was popularly believed to be Andre-Louis’ father. But more burning hatred of the Marquis had been caused by his brutal murder of Andre-Louis' dearest friend, the young and idealietic. PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN, a divinity student. The Marquis, believing that Philippe had a "dangerour gift of eloquence ' and fearing that the rumblings of discontent which were making way for the French Revolution would bring danger to his class, deliberately provoked a duel and killed the young student. Andrs-Louis decides to set out for Rennes and lay tne case before the King's Lieutenant. CHAPTER VI It was on a horse hired from the Breton Arms that Andre-Louis set out next morning; and an hour's brisk ride brought him to the city of Rennea He rode into the upper and principal 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 plinth of the equestrian statue of Louis XV a whitefaced young man was excitedly addressing the multitude. His youth and dress proclaimed the student, and a group of his fellows acting as a guard of honor to him kept the immediate precincts of the statue. Over the heads of the crowd Andre-

Louis caught a few of the phrases flung forth by that eager voice. “It was the promise of the king * * * It is the king's authority they flout • • • They arrogate to themselves the whole sovereignty in Brittany. The king has dissolved them * * * These insolent nobles defying their sovereign and the people * * *” Had he not known already of the events which had brought the third estate to the point of active revolt, those few phrases would fully have informed him. This popular display of temper was most opportune to his need, he thought. He put up his hired horse at the Corne de Cerf, and set out to the Palais de Justice. That the king's lieutenant condescended to see him at all was probably due to the grave complexion of the hour. At last he was ushered into a fine, well-lighted room furnished with enough glt and satin to have supplied the boudoir of a lady of fashion. It was a trivial setting for a king's lieutenant, but about the king’s lieutenant there was—at least to ordinary eyes—nothing trivial. At the far end of the chamber, before a goatlegged writing-table with Watteau panels, sat that exalted being. Above a scarlet coat with an order flaming on its breast, and a billow of lace in which diamonds sparkled like drops of water, sprouted the massive powdered head of M. de Lesdiguieres. It was thrown back to scowl with expectant arrogance.

M. de Lesdiguieres considered him very sternly. “What is your name?” he asked. "Andre-Louis Moreau.” “Well, Andre-Louis Moreau, if you can state your plea briefly, I will hear you.” “You shall be the judge of that, monsieur," said Andre Louis, and he proceeded at once to state his case, beginning with the shooting of Ma bey, and passing thence to the killing of M. De Vilmorin. But he with held until the end the name of the great gentleman against whom he demanded justice. “Ana who, sir. is the man you charge with this?” “The Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr.” “Who?” he shouted, and without awaiting for an answer. “Why, here's impudence,” he stormed on, “to come before me with such a charge against a gentleman of M. De La Tour d’Azvr’s eminence! How dare you speak of him as a coward * * *” “I speak of him as a murderer,” the young man corrected. “And I demand justice against him.” “You demand it, do you? My God. what next?” “I have informed you, monsieur, that a duel —so-called —has been fought, and a man killed. It seems that I must remind you, the administrator of the King’s justice, that duels are against the law, and that it is your duty to hold an inquiry.” The door behind Andre-Louis opened softly. M. De Lesdiguieres, pale with anger, contained himself with diffi culty. “You seek to compel us, do you, you Impudent rascal?” he growled “But I give you a last warning, master lawyer, keep a closer guard over that insolent tongue of yours, or you wil| have cause very bitterly to regret its glibness." He waved a jeweled contemptuous hand. "To the door!” CHAPTER VII, He had broken the futile lance with the windmill—the image suggested

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

by M. de Kercadiou persisted in his mind—and it was, he perceived, by sheer good fortune that he had escaped without hurt. There remained the wind itself—the whirlwind. And the events in Rennes, 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. There were cries “To the Palais! Down with the assassins! Down with the nobles! An artisan who stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the press 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 another student killed not an hour ago by the cathedral works. Pardi! If they can’t prevail in one way they’ll prevail in another.” Andre-Louis left him still talking, and clove a way through that human press. At the statue's base he came upon a little cluster of students about the body of the murdered lad, all stricken with fear and helplessness. “You here, Moreau!” said a voice. He looked around to find himself confronted by Le Chapelier, a lawyer of Rennes, a prominent member of the literary chamber of that city. “Ah. it is you, Chapelier Why don’t you tell them what to do? Up with you, man!” And he pointed to the plinth Le Chapelier’s dark restless eyes searched the other’s impassive face for some trace of irony he suspected. “Your notions and mine on that score can hardly coincide," said he. Andre-Louis looked at him without surprise. How should Le Chapelier suspect his present intentions? "If you won’t tell them what is to be done, I will," said he. i “Nom de Dleu! If you want to in-

vite a bullet from the other side. I shall not hinder you.” Scarcely were the words out than j he repented them: for as if in answer to that challenge Andre-Louis sprang up on to the plinth. Alarmed now, for he could only suppose it to be Andre-Louis' intention to speak on behalf of Privilege, Le Chapelier clutched him by the legs to pull him down again. “Ah, that, no!” he was shouting. “Come down, you fool. Come down!” Andre-Louis maintaining his position by clutching one of the legs of the bronze horse, flung his voice like a bugle-note over the heads of that seething mob. “Citizens of Rennes, the motherland is in danger!”* The effect was electric. A stir ran. like a ripple over water, across that froth of upturned human faces, and completest silence followed. "Shuddering in horror of the vile deed here perpetrated, my voice demands to be heard by you. You have seen murder done under your eyes—the murder of one who nobly, without any thought of self, gave voice to the wrongs by which we are all oppressed. Fearing that voice, shunning the truth as foul things shun the light, our oppressors sent their agents to silence him in death.” Le Chapelier released at last his hold of Andre-Louis' ankle, staring up at him the while in sheer amazement, j What had come to him? “Os assassins what shall you look j for but assassination? I have a tale to tell which will show that this is no new thing that you have witnessed here today; it will reveal to you the forces with which you have to deal. Yesterday * * •” There was an interruption. A voice In the crowd, some twenty paces, perhaps, was raised to shout: “Yet another of them!” Immediately after the voice came a pistol shot and a bullet flattened Itself against the bronze figure just behind Andre-Louis. , (Continued in Our Next Issue.)
