breeze chilling my malarial bones and filling me with hate i sought shelter on the upper promenade where there were plenty of seats for it was only a few minutes past eleven and i chose a corner protected from the wind by a jutting wall a few minutes later he appeared and halted abruptly on finding what was obviously his accustomed seat occupied his placid expression changed to one of annoyance and with a muttered exclamation he turn ed to a neighbouring sent and slump ed into it his attitude suggested an old dog whose kennel has been in vaded by the cat and 1 with all the impertinent curiosity of that cat sat and took stock of him he was well beyond sixty tall anil soldierly in bearing his pale oval face adorned with sweeping white mustachios and imperial his braid ed and i suspected strapped trousers and fullskirted redingoto would have been fashionable in paris fifty years ago and the ivory- topped cane held in a gloved hand could not have been matched outside a museum his eyes were hidden under the broad leaf of a felt hat pulled well down to a thin high- bridged nose redolent of breeding i feit abashed and after a few mintes i got up and went for a stroll as i passed him i heard a slight movement and without looking back i knew he had taken the seat i had quitted on my way back to the hotel i found myself wondering who and what he was an aristocrat

and gave myself up to watching him under halfclosed lids he seemed to be waiting for some one and from time to time he slip ped his ungloved hand inside his coat and produced an oldfashioned gold watch i looked at mine and found that it was just halfpast eleven presently he became more alert i saw him straighte up but ton his coat resume his gloves aud graps the cane the expected one was arriving the direction of my gaze followed his and 1 saw a bath chair containing a veritable mountain of obesity dragged by a perspiring chairman and propelled b a prim and elderly maid surely this enormity could not be the object of his eager attention but nt the sight of her he rose glanced again at his watch and with an audible sigh strode not toward the approaching bath chair but to the steps leading to the town above what interest thought i could he have in such a misshapen creature what possible attraction could this swollen caricature of femininity hold for a man of obvious refinement my eyes took on radioscopic virtues and i could discern under the billows of flesh and dewlapped face raddled with rouge and mascara the frame work of a once beautiful woman aphrodite turned to tallow she at least was not poor the material of her dress must have cost soandso the metre and the value of the emerald on her bananalike finger would have paid the towns taxes there was romance here my nose ever avid for story material twitched and i determined that the is too costly passing on a hill is just one form of haste that craving to drive too fast which is altogether too prevalent in ontario the appalling number of motor accidents in this province means a drastic checkup on reckless drivers public sentiment speaking through the courts will be increas ingly severe towards unreasonable thoughtless motorists you know you should do how you should drive so for your own safety and that of others drive carefully it is better to be safe than sorry 1 motor vehicles branch ontario department of highways this must stop in ontario during 1934 there were nearly 10000 auto mobile accidents 512 people were killed 8990 people were injured a considerable increase over 1933- it must be evident to all thinking ocople that tbh mutt stop hon t it mcqunun milift itifhtt jyi next few days should disclose the history the following morning i was on the promenade at eleven oclock rnd a few minutes later the marquis for i was convinced that he was a marquis appeared and took his ac customed seat exactly the same events happened at halfpast eleven he looked at his watch the over burdened bath chair appeared he sighed and took a hurried departure up the cliff leaving me as far as ever from my story very well would have to invent one so here goes i saw him as a young man the cadet of a rich and noble family handsome a fine horseman and of unimpeachable honour ilis ruling passion was music and it was at the opera that he first saw eloise teloutel a new and ranchacclaimed prima ballerina attracted by he dancing and beauty he obtained an introduction and from that moment he was lost flowers jewels clothes everything that money could buy he lavished on her and in return she gave him a few smiles a few hours of her time and a good deal of en couragement to go on giving at last when his money was exhausted he offered her the only thing left to him his name and title and she accepted them as greedily as the rest for there was the prospect of the family exchequer still untouched the news of the entanglement came to the ears of that old aristo crat his father there was a terribla scene which resulted in young raoul of course his name was raoul be ing cut off and disowned when the lady heard of his changed circum stances she no longer took an in terest in his title if she was cool before she was now frozen she fobbed him off with excuses even re fused him admission to her apait- ment the apartment ha had paid for and furnished then came the climax one even ing in a moment of desperation he followed her to a house and forced his way into a room where he found her in the arms of a man whom he had counted as a friend there was an altercation insults a blow and the inevitable challenge to his sug gestion that his representative should wait on him his rival replied why waste time we are here the weapons are handy we will settle this now they fought in the room and raoul killed his opponent killed him without the presence of a single witness for eloise had fled the room in terror now disgrace was added to ruin for to kill a man in such circum stances branded him as a pariah bankrupt in pocket and reputation he fled to morocco i had the temptation to make him join the foreign legion but everyone does that nowadays where he lived under an assumed name on the wretched remains of premier recovered off for celebration premier bennett photographed when he passed through montreal on his way to new york whence he sailed for england to participate in the kings jubilee celebrations looking well and happy he is seen here with john t hackett member for stanstcad que his fortune but his infatuation for eloise mastered his sense of caution and he returned to france to find her married to the baron zecp a rich german even this did not quell his passion for her he followed her from paris to berlin to vienna to budapest milan london america everywhere at last when her husband died leaving her an amazing fortune and her health and beauty had fallen victims to her greed she came to england and he the eternally faith ful followed her and now every day he stole down to catch a glimpse of the woman he still loved passion ately not daring to speak or risk recognition and she if she re membered him at all she was not losing weight through remorse tlie following morning i was again on the i romenade and although that beastly wind was blowing colder than ever i respected my marquiss claim to the corner scat but eleven oclock came and halfpast and still no sign of him what could have hap pened had he at last plucked up courage and should i presently see him at the bath chair side my speculations were interrupted by the appearance of yorkc one of the bestinformed men in the town and whose acquaintance i had made in the hotel do you happen to know the name of the old french nobleman who sits on this promenade every morning i asked and gave him a description which had perhaps been slightly overtinted by my own ideas marquis eh replied yorke no i havent met him where is he staying r didnt know but i regaled him with the romantic story of my im agining which in its mental repeti tions had become almost real to me before i had finished the recital the bath chair came in sight its burden wobbling to every unevenness of the pavement that is the woman i speak of i said as she passed eloise teloutel do you know her of course i know her was his reply who doesnt she was a very famous dancer but you are hopeless ly out in the name that thing is all that remains of the notorious lydia carmagnole a woman whose beauty and greed has ruined the lives and reputations of more men than you could count on your two hands she is now reaping the wages of sin to the tune of nearly a quarter of amil- lion pounds it was well past midday when the tall figure in the redingoto appear ed walking rather quickly he seem ed puzzled and disturbed glancing alternately at his watch the sun and tlie now thronged promenade instead of settling into his usual seat he came straight towards me removed his hat in a courteous salute and said pardon monsieur but i fear something must have happened to my watch will you be so good as to tell me the correct time nearly halfpast twelve i in formed him impossible he gasped perhaps youve forgotten that this is the first day of summer time and all clocks have been advanced one hour suggested yorkc the marquiss mouth fell open scrnom dieu he cried and turn ing rushed up the cliff steps at a rate which i should have thought im possible for one of hi3 age that was he i said to yorke the marquis i was telling you about i wonder what has happened for answer yorke burst into a shout of laughter marquis he cried do you know who he is your marquis hes old boutard lydia carmagnoles chef he comes down here every day for a breather before lunch and skips back home when he sees madame returning from her airing therell be a deuce of a row when he gets home the old idiot must have forgotten to put his watch on an hour and madame loves her food and expects it
