by increasing his wages to four
louis a month.
CHAPTER II
Andre-Louis -was in the gardens
of the Palais Royal, the universal
rendevous on that Sunday morning
in June when the news ol
Necker's dismissal* spread, "carrying
with it dismay and fury.
He beheld a slight young man
with a pocket-marked face leap tc
a table outside the Cafe de Foy,
a drawn s-wordin his hand, crying
"To arms!" And then upon the
silence of astonishment that cry
imposed, this young man poured
a flood of inflammatory eloquence
Enthusiasm swept the crowd, a
motley crowd made up of men and
women of every class, from vagabond
to nobleman, from harlot to
lady of fashion.
Andre-Louis looked on, and grew
afraid. This crowd, he felt, must be
restrained. That hot-headed, irre
sponsible stutterer would have the

man. Catnllle Desmoulins. later t.i
become famous, leapt down from
his table still waving his sword,
still shouting, "To arms! Follow
me!" Andre-Louis advanced to occupy
the Improvised rostrum, and
came suddenly face to face with a
tall man beautifully dressed.
Thus face to face, each looking
into the eyes of the other. Then
Andre-LJuis laughed.
"That fellow, too, has a very danrflrraic

quis," ho said.
"Gallows-bird!" he, answered.
"I shall tell the Lieutenant-General
that you are to be found in Paris."
"My God. man!" cried AndreLouis.
"Will you talk like that of
Lieu tenant-Generals when Paris itself
is likely to tumble about your
ears or take fire under your feet?"
A rush of men hurtled against
him. swept him along with them,

^Bloodshed there was that day in
Paris. :On~the Place Vendome a detachment
of dragoons awaited 'the
crowd out of which Andre-Louis
had slipped. The horsemen swept
down upon the mob, dispersed It.
The victims were taken up and
borne thence, and amongst them
was Bertrand des Amis, himself-like
all who lived by the sword?
an ardent upholder of the noblesse,
trampled to death under hoofs ol
foreign horsemen launched by the
noblesse and led by a nobleman.
To Andre-Louis four men of the
people brought that broken body o!

The' ferment In Paris, which
during the. two following days,
1 resembled an armed camp rather
than a city, delayed the burial of
Bertrand. des Amis until the Wednesday
of that eventful week.
> Andre-Louis succeeded to the fenl
cing-school in which he was him
self so well established as an in'
structor.
And so, one fine day in early
August, he received a visit from

It was into the presence of a
i peevish and rather somnolent M.

was ushered. He was unannounced
as had ever been the custom at
Gavrillac.
" "What do you want here"
growled M. de Kercadiou.
"No more than to kiss your
hand, mcnsieur my godfather."
said Andre-Louis, submissively,
bowing his sleek black head.
"You can't. You'll never make
me understand how you came to
render yourself so odiously notorious
in Brittany."
"Ah. not odiously, monsieur?"
"Certainly, odiously. It is said
even that you were Omnes Omni

He beat his hands together, and
raised his shrill voice to call?
"Benoit."
"Benoit. the door. M. AndreLouis
Moreau to the door!"
The tone argued an irrevocable
determination. Pale and self-contained.
but w^th a queer pain at his
heart, Andre-Louis heard that dismissal.
And then another voice, a

"Uncle!" it cried, a world of indignation
and surprise in its pitch,
and then: "Andre!" And this time
a note almost of gladness, certainly
of welcome, was blended with
