Wlllillll the marble hllnstimis half a dozen yards away.‘ With his sword it seemed that his courage, too. departed. and he stood st my rnsrcy, a curious picture of foolish- aeas. surprise, and fear.

Now the Chevalier do Saint- Eustache was a young man. and in the young we can forgive much. But to forgive such an act as he had been guilty of—-that of draw- ing his sword- upon a man who carried no‘ weapons-would have been not only a ridiculous tolera- tion. but an utter neglect of duty. As an older man it behoved me to read the Chevalier a lesson in’ manners and gentlemanly feeling.‘ So, quite diapasslonately, and (pure-f ly for his own future good, I went‘ about the task. and administered‘ him a thrashing that for thorough- ness it would be hard to better. I was no‘t discriminating. l brought my cane down with a rhythmical precision, and whether it took him on the head) the back, or the‘ shoulders, I held to be more his affair than mine. I had a moral‘ to inculcate, and the injuries he might receive in the course of it were inconsideraible details so than. the lesson was borne in upon ‘his soul. Two or three times he sought to close with me. but 1 eluded him; I had no mind to den‘ scend to a vulgar exchange of» blows. My object was not to] brawl. but to administer chastise. me .1 and this object i may claim to nave accomplished with a fair degree of success.

At last Roxalanne interfered; but only when one blow a little more violent, perhaps, than its pre- cursors resulted in the sudden snapping of the cane and Monsieur de Eustachefis utter collapse into, a ‘moaning heap.

"1 deplore, rnademolselle. to have offended your sight with such a spectacle, but unless these lessons are administered upon ‘the instant their effect is not half so salutary."

“He deserved it, monsieur," said she, with a note almost of flercc- riess in her voice. And of such poor mettle are we that her re~ sentment against that groaning mess of fopperies and‘ wheels sent a thrill of pleasure through me. I walked over to the spot where his sword had fallen, and picked it up

"Monsieur do ‘Saint-‘Eustachefl’ said I. "you have so- dishonored this blade that I do not think yo-u would care to wear it again." Say- ing which, I snapped it across my knee, and flung it ‘liar out into the river. for all that the hilt was a costly one, richly wrought in ‘bronze- and gold. I

‘He raised his ‘vivid countenance. and his eyes blazed impotent fury.

“Par 1o ‘mort Dieu!" he cried hoarselly, “you shall give me satis- faction for this!"

"‘lf you ‘account yourself still un- satisfied. 1 am at at your service. when you will." said I courteously.

Then. before more could be said, I saw Monsieur de Lavedan and the Vicomteese approaching hurriedly across ‘the ‘parterre: The Vicom- te’s brow was black with ‘what might ‘have appeared anger, but which l rightly construed into ap prehenaion.

"What has taken (place? What have you done?" he asked of me.

"He has brutally assaulted the Chevalier." cried Madame shfll-ly, her eyes malevolently set upon me. “He ls only a child, this poor Salut- Enetache." she reproached me. "I eaw it all from my window, Mon- sieur de Lesperon: ft was brutal; it was cowardly, (So to beat a boy! Shame! If you had a quarrel with him, are t-here no prescribed meth-

gentlemen? Pardiem-cotrld you not have given him proper satisfac- tion?”

"If Madame will give herself the trouble of attentively examining this 'p00r Saintdlustache." said I. with a sarcasm which her virulence prompted, "you will agree, I think, that i have given him very proper and very thorough satisfaction. J would have met -_him sword in hand, but the Chevalier has the fault of the very young-he is precipitate; he was in too great a haste, and he wold not wait until I got a sword. So I was forced to do what I could with a cane."

"But you provoked him." she flashed back.

"Whoever told you so has misin- formed you, madame. On the con- trary, he rprovoked me, He gave me the lie. I struck him-could I do loss'!-—and he drew. I defended myself mid I supplemented my de-

"Answer my question~where have you been?"

“But yes." The poor child's tones were laden with wonder at this catechoism.

Heaven knows what may have been coming, for she had the most virulent, scandalous tongue, that l have ever known in ,a woman's head-which is much for one who has lived at Court to say. But the Vicomte. sharing my fears. perhaps, and wishing to spare the child’s ears interposed quickly-

"Come madame what airs are these? What sudden assumption of graces that we do not affect? We are not in Paris. This is not the Luxembourg. En province comme en rprovlnce and here we are simple folk—"

“Simple folk?" she interrupted, gasping. "By God, am i ‘married toe ploughman’! Am I Viconitesse of lLavedan. or the wife of a booi of the countryside? And ls the honour of your daughter a inal- ter~—"

Women’s Lives

are relieved of a great hygienic handicap in this way

HERE is now a new way in woman's hygiene. A way scien- tific and exquisite that ends the un- certainty oi old-time "sanitary pads." You wear sheer frocks and gowns without a second thought, any time, anywhere. You meet every day. every business or social demand un- ' handicapped.

It is called “KOTEXP Eight in every l0 better-class women have adopted it. .

Five times as absorbent as ordi- nary cotton pads, it banishes danger of mishaps. ‘

Deodorizes, too. And thus ends ALL fear of offending.

Discard: as easily as a piece of tissue. No laundry. No embarrass- ment.

You obtain it simply by saying "KOTEX." Women thus ask for it withut hesiiancy. Costs only a few cents at drug or department stores. Proves old ways a folly.
