honor highest, and sadly shook his bead. Next morning, Andrews door opened to Madame de Plougastel, w ho begged him to accept sei with the King of \ti->t i ia She had, she faltered, known Vndre's mother, l'nt he only shrugged his shoulders and prepared to go Hardly had she gone, when Aline appeared. She prayed him to forsake the duel, bul he, thinking her concern was for the Marquis, thrust her off and hurried away His cab far outstripped the coach o\ Mine, de Plougastel, which Aline had commandeered to stop the duel, and when tin two women ar d. an iron door barred the way. From within came the tinkle and clang of crossed rapiers, the thud of feet, a mutter of voices, then dead silence. The iron door opened and out of it staggered the Marquis, his sleeve in ribbons, his arm reddening slowly from a slight wound. With a cry that Andre was dead. Aline fainted into his arms. \nd this was the tableau that greeted Scaramouche when he emerged unhurt and enraged at having merely wounded the Marquis instead of killing him. He stared, -pun on his heel with an oath, and that night accepted service in the provinces for the Commune. The sands of time sifted fast : Saint Antoine was a roar of ruffians, a rattle of knives ; from the South came the men of Marseilles, dirty, dusty, dragging cannon, singing the new song of Rouget de Lisle. Paris rose on her oppressors, the streets ran black with blood, the Swiss guard died on the palace stair; the nobles died on the palace stair; and out of a mass of crumpled bodies crawled Monsieur le Marquis, beaten, broken, bleeding, but a fighting man to the end. He staggered into the bouse of Madame de Plougastel and fell fainting at the feet of Aline. The women were wild with fear. They bad attempted to flee the city, and had found the barriers closed. They had sent their servant for succour, and be lay dead in a ditch. A mile away were the mob, killing, burning, backing, mutilating, singing, bearing beads on pikes, the dregs of Paris, dancing La Carmagnole! In Gavrillac. a stranger, flourishing the tricolor cockade, galloped into the inn yard, flung himself off his horse and strode toward the fire. Ouintin de Kercadiou spun about to meet him. "Andre! Aline and Madame de Plougastel are in Paris ! You must save them." "Aline, yes. But Mme. de Plou Would You Think from this Photo that I Ever Weighed 200 Lbs?

It mi beginning t<> tell on my arches | I bad difficulty in walking any distance. Dancing became out c4 the question, and I bad become aregulai itty-at-home when a frinul prevailed on me to try the much-talked-of reducing records. "The first session with this method was a complete surprise. I had expected it would be something of a bore — the things I had tried in the past had all proved so. Hut the movements that first reducing record contained, the novel Commands and counts, and the sparkling musical accompaniment made it extremely interesting. I used it for over a week for the sheer fun of doing it. I felt splendid after each day's 'lesson.* Even then I scarcely took the idea seriously. Surely, this new form of play could not be affecting my huge superfluity of flesh; it must have been ten or twelve days later that I weighed myself. "I had lost eight pounds ! "No one had to urge me after that ! I secured all five of the records and settled down in earnest to reduce. A week later the same scale said 174 lbs. Another week, only showed a six pound loss; but the week following I had taken off nine more pounds. "As I progressed in the lessons I found them growing more and more interesting, and each new and unique movement began improving my proportions in new places. The over-fleshiness at my neck was a condition I never dreamed could be affected by these methods, but it was ; even the roll of fat that had foreshadowed a double-chin disappeared in time. "In six weeks I was dancing, golfing and 'going* as of yore. I got another saddle horse. I started wearing clothes which did not have to sacrifice all style in an effort to conceal. And it is quite needless to say I was delighted and elated. At the end of nine weeks I weighed exactly 138 lbs. — a reduction of fifty-three pounds. I submit my experience in gratitude for what Wallace's wonderful records have done for me. I am humbled by the recollection of how I once fairly scoffed at the enthusiasm of others in what I deemed at the time a mere fad. I shudder to think that I might have remained indifferent to this method. Only a woman who has been over-whelmingly fleshly can appreciate what my new appearance and feelings mean to me. As for those who need reduce but a few pounds to make their figures what they would like them to be, it is pitiful to think that they do not know this easy way — or perhaps do not believe it." ->, What more can be said of reducing ?
