Monsieur Beaucaire By Booth Tarkington An Interesting Serial Story, a Portion of Which will be Pub lished in the Review Until Completed. (Continucd'from last week) CHAPTER IH WAS well ngrood by tho fashion of Bath that M. fa Due do Chateauricn was a person of sensibility and hnut ton, that his retinuo and cquipngo surpassed in elegance, that his person was oxquisito, his manner engaging. In tho company of gentlemen his coso was slightly tinged with graciousncss (his singlo equal in Bath being his grace of Wintcrsot), but it was remarked that when ho bowed over a lady's hand his air bespoko only a gay and tondcr reverence. IIo was tho idol of tho dowagers within a week after his appear ance. Matrons warmed to him. Young hollos looked Bwcotly on him whilo tho gentlemen wcro won to admiration or envy. IIo was of ! prodigious wcojth. Old 3Ir. Bicksit, who dared not, for his fomo'e pako, fail to havo seen all things, had visited Chateauricn under the present duko's father and descanted to tho curious upon its grandeurs, , Tho young noblo had ono fault. Ho was so poor a gambler. Ho 1 cared nothing for tho hazards of a dio or tho turn" of a card. Gayly admitting that ho had boon born with no spirit of ndventuro in him, ho was sure, ho declared, that ho failed of much happiness by his lack of tasto in such tnattors. I But ho was not long wanting tho occasion to provo his tasto in tho matter of handling a weapon. A certain lcd-cnptam, Ilohror by name, ' notorious, among other things, for bearing a doxtcrous and blood thirsty blado, camo to Bath post hasto ono night and jostled heartily against him in tho pump room on tho following morning. M. do Ch' teaurion bowed and turned asido without offense, continuing a conver sation with some gentlemen near by. Captain Rohror jostled against him n second time. M. do Chateauricn looked him in tho oyo and apologized pleasantly for being so much in tho way. Thereupon 1 Ilohror procured an introduction to him and mado bohio observations dorogatory to tho valor and virtue of tho Fronch. ! There was current a curious picco of gossip of tho French court: ' A prince of tho blood royal, grandson of tho lato regent and second in tho lino of succession to tho throne of Franco, had rebelled against tho authority of Louis XV., who had commanded him to marry tho Princes'? Henrietta, cousin to both of them. Tho princess was re ported to bo openly dovotcd to tho cousin who rofuscd to accopt hor hand at tho bidding of tho king, and, as rumor ran, tho princo's ca price eloctcd in preforenco tho discipline of Vinconncs, to which re tirement tho furious king had consigned him. Tho story was tho htnplo gossip of all polito Europe, and Captain Ilohror, having in his mind a purposo to mako uso of U in leading up to a statement that should bo general to tho damage of all Frenchwomen and which a Frenchman might not pass over as ho might n jog of tho elbow, re pented it with garbled truths to mako a ocundal of a story which bore homo on a plain relation. Ifn did not reach his deduction, il. do Cliatoaurion, breaking into his narrativo, addressed him very quiotly. "Monsiour," ho said, "unno but swiuo deny the nobleness of that good and gontlo lady, Mllo. la Princosso do Bourbou-Conti. Every Fronchman know that her cousin is a bad robol and ingratc, who had only honor and rispoo' for her, but was so willful ho could not let ovon tho king say, 'You shall marry here, you shall marry thoro.' My frionty' t'10 young man turned to tho others, "may I ask you to closo roun' in a circlo for ono moment ? It is clearly shown that tho Duko of Orleans is a scurry fellow, but not" ho wheeled about and touched Captain Ilohror on the brow with tho back of his gloved hand "but not bo ccurvy as thou, thou swiuo of tho gutter 1" Two hours later, with perfect easo, ho ran Captain Eohror through the left shoulder, after which ho sent a baskot of rod roses to tho Duko of Wintcrsot. In n few days ho had anothor captain to fight. This was a milling buck who had tho astounding indiscretion to pro claim M. do Chatcaurion an impostor. Thoro was no Chatcaurien, ho sworo. Tho Frenchman laughod in his faco and, at twilight of tho saiuo day, pinked him carofully through tho right shoulder. It was not that ho could not put asido tho insult to himself, ho doclarod to Mr. Molynoux, his second, and tho fow witnesses, as ho handod his w.t sword to his lackey ono of his station could not ho insulted by a doubt of that station hut ho fought in tho qunrrol of his frieud Win ternot. This rascal had asserted that M. lo Duo had introduced an impostor. Could ho overlook tho insult to a friend, ono to whom he owed his kind reception in Bath) Then, bending over his fallen ad versary, ho whispered, "Naughty man, toll your master find some txittor quarrel for tho nex ho sen' ngains mo." Tito conduct of M. do Cliatoaurion was pronounced admirable. Thoro was no surpriso when tho young foreigner foil naturally into tho long train of followers of tho beautiful Lady Mary Carlisle nor was thoro great astonishment that ho should obtain markod favor in her eyes, shown so plainly that my Lord Townbrako, Sir Hugh Guilford nnd tho rich Squire Bantison, all of whom had followed hor though thrco seasons, sworo with rago, ami his graco of Wintorset btalkeil from her aunt's house with black brows. Meeting tho duko thcro ou tho evening after his second encounter, do Chateauricn smiled upon him brilliantly. "It was badly done, oh, s- bdlyl" ho whispered. "Can you afford to havo mo strip' of my mask by any but yourself f You, who introduce' mo I They will say thcr is some bad scandal that I could forco you to be my godfather. You inus' got tho courage yourself," "I told you a roso had a short lifo," was tho answer. "Oh, those roses I 'Tis tho very greates' rirzou to gather each day a fre-sh ono." Ho took a red bud from his breast for an instant touched it to his lips. "M. do Chateauricn I" It was Lady Mary's voice. She stood at tublo whoro a vacant placo had boon loft bosido hor. "M de Chateav riu, wo havo boon waiting very long for you." Tho duko saw tho look sho did not know she gave the Frenchmaa, and ho lost countouanco for a moment. "We approach a climax, eh, monsieur!" said M. de Chateaurles. CHAPTER IV. TTtTJI? .. O . t a!

From the fields the m ..1 1.. 1 .1 . .111 hums rose- biuwiv, ana uio air was mua ana xragrui, whilo distances wcro white and full of myetery. All of Bath that protended to fashion or conditio wu presont that evening at a foto at the houee oi a country geutleman of the neighborhood. When the aUtely junket was concluded it was the pleasure of M. de Chateaurieo to fom of tho escort of Lady Mary's carriago for tho return. Ae thoy took the road Sir Hugh Guilford and Mr. Bantison, engaging in indistinct but vigorous remonstranco with Mr. Molynoux over somo matter, fell fifty or moro paces behind, whoro thoy continued to rido, keoping up their argument. Half a dozen other gallants rodo in advance, mut tering among themselves, or attended laxly upon Lady Mary's aunt on tho other sido of tho coach, whilo tho happy Frenchman was per mitted to rido closo to that odorablo window which framed tho fairest faco in England. Ho sang for hor a little French song, a song of tho voyagour who dreamed of homo. Tho lady, listening, looking up at tho bright moon, felt a warm drop upon hor cheek, and ho saw tho tears sparkling upon her lashes. "Mademoiscllo," ho whispered then, "I, too, havo been a wan doror, but my dreams wcro not of Franco ; no, I do not dream of that homo, of that dear country. It is of a dearer country, a dream coun try a country of gold and snow," ho cried softly, looking at her whito brow and tho fair, lightly powdered hair abovo it. "Gold and snow and tho bluo sky of a lada oyes 1" "I had thought tho ladies of Franco woro dark, sir." "Cruol 1 It is that sho will not understan' I Havo I speak of tho ladies of Franco ? No, no, no I It is of tho faircs' country yes, 'tis a province of heaven, madomoiscllo. Do I not ronounco my allo gianco to Franoo f Oh, yes I I am subjoo' no, content to bo slave in tho Ian of tho bluo Bky, tho gold and tho snow." "A vory pretty figuro," answered Lady Mary, hor oyes downcast "But docs it not hint a notablo experience in tho making of such speeches I" "Tormentress I No. It provo' only tho inspiration it is to know you." "Wo English ladies hear plenty ox tho liko, sir, and wo oven grow brilliant enough to detect tho assuranco that lies beneath tho cour tesies of our own gallants." "Morel t I should boliovo sol" ejaculated M. do Chatcaurien, hut ho smothered tho words upon his lips. Her oyes wcro not liftod. Sho wont on: "Wo oomo, in timo, to boliovo that truo fooling comes faltoring forth, not glibly; that smoothness botokons tho adept in tho art, sir, rather than your truo your truo" Sho was horsolf faltering; moro, blushing deeply nnd halting to a full stop in terror of a word. Thcro was a silonco. "Your truo lovor," ho said huskily. When ho had aaid that word both trembled. Sho turned half away into tho darkness of tho coach. "I know what mako' you to doubt mo," ho said, faltering himself, though it was not his art that prompted him. "Thoy havo tol' you tho French do nothing al-ways but mako lovo, is it not sot Yes, you think I am liko that. You think I am liko that now I" Sho niado no sign. "I supposo," ho sighed, "I am unrit'nnhlo. I would havo the mow not ao col' for jus' mo." Sho did not answer. "Turn to mo," ho said. Tho fragranco of tho Holds camo to them, and from tho distance tho faint, clear noto of a hunting horn. "Turn to mo." Tho lovely head was bent very low. nor littlo gloved hand lay upon tho narrow window ledgo. IIo laid his own gently upon it. Tho two hand woro shaking liko twin leaves in tho brcczo. Hors was not drawn away. After a pause, neither know how long, ho folt tho warm fingers turn and clasp thomsolvos tremulously about his own. At last sho looked up bravely and met his oyes. Tho horn was wound again nearer. "All tho cold was gone from tho snows long ago," sho said. "My beautiful I" ho whispored. It was all ho could Bay. "My beautiful !" But sho clutched his arm, startled. "'Waro tho road I" A wild halloo aoundod ahead. Tho horn wound loudly. " 'Waro tho road I" Thoro sprang up out of tho night n flying thunder of hoof beats, Tho gentlemen riding idly in front of tho coach scattered to tho hedgo sides, and, with drawn swords flash ing in tho moon, a party of horsemen charged down tho highway, their orios blasting tho night. "Barbor! Kill tho harbor I" thoy Bcroamod. "Barbor! Kill tho harbor I" Beaucairo had hut timo to draw his sword when thoy woro upon him. "A moil" his voico rang out clearly as ho roso in his stirrups. "A moi, Francois, Louis, Borquin I A moi, Francois I" Tho cavaliors camo straight at him. Ho parried tho thrust of tho first, but tho shock of collision hurled his horso against tho sido of tho coach. "Sacred swine!" ho cried bittorly. "To endanger a lady, to make this brawl in a lady's presonco I Drivo on I" ho shoutod. "No I" cried Lady Mary, Tho Frenchman's assailants woro maskod, but thoy wore not high waymon. "Barber I Barber I" thoy shouted hoarsely and closod in on him in a circle. "Sco how ho use' his steel I" laughed M. Beaucaire, as his point passed through a tawdry waistcoat For a momont ho cut through the ring and cleared a spaco about him, and Lady Mary saw his faco shin ing in tho moonlight "Canaille 1" ho hissed as his horse sank beneath him, and, though guarding his head from tho rain of blows from above, ho managed to drag headlong from his saddlo the man who had" hamstrung tho poor brute. The follow camo suddenly to the ground and lay there, "Is it not a complimont," said a heavy voice, "to bring six large mon to subduo monsieur 1" "Oh, you aro thoro, my frion' I In tho rear a little in the rear, I think. Ha, ha I" Tho Frenchman's play with his weapon was a revelation of skill, tho more extraordinary as ho held in his hand only a light dress sword. But tho ring closod about him, and his keen defense could not avail him for more than a few momouts. Lady Mary's outriders, the gix Unts of her escort, rode up close to the coach and encircled it, not in terfering. "Sir Hugh Guilford 1" cried Lady Mary wildly, "if you will not beTp him, give mo your sword!" Sho would have leaped to tkat ground, but Sir Hugh hold tho door. "Sit quiet, madam, he said to her.
