BOOK II; THE BUSKIN
CHAPTER I
COMING presently upon the Redon
road, Andre-Louis, obeying instinct
rather than reason, turned his face
to the south, and plodded wearly for-
ward. He had no clear idea of
whither he was going, or of whither
he should go. All that imported at
the moment was to put as great a
distance as possible between Gavril-
lac and himself.
Midway across the vast common
to the north of Guignen he came to
a halt. Beyond loomed a tail build-
ing which he knew to be an open
barn, standing on the edge of a long
stretch of meadowland. It was as
big as a house, yet consisted of no
more than a roof carried upon half
a dozen tall, brick pillars. But dense-
ly packed under that roof was a
great stack of hay that promised a
warm, couch on so cold a night. He
cleared a trough for his body, and
lying down in it, covered himself to
the neck with the hay he had re-
moved. Within five minutes he was
soundly asleep.
When next he awakened, the sun
was already high in the heavens.
Then to his awakening senses came
a drone of voices close at hand, to
wiich at first he paid little heed.
“Oh, mon Dieu, Leandre, let us

And upon this a man’s voice broke
in, calm and reassuring:

“Leandre, you’re an imbecile!
‘Your words wouldn’t convince a

He checked abruptly, startled.
Andre-Louis, suddenly realizing
what was afoot, and how duped he
had been,- had loosed his laughter.
The sound of it pealing and bouming
uncannily Under the great roof that
so immediately confined him was
startling to those below.
The fat man was the first to re-
cover, and he annouuced it after his
own ashion in one of the read) sar-
casms which be habitually dealt.
“Hark!” he cried, “the very gods
laugh at you, Leandre.” Then he
addressed the roof of the barn and
its invisible tenant. “Hi You there!”
Andre-Louis revealed himseli hy

head. ,
“What the devil are you doing up
there?”
“Precicely the same thing that you
are doing down there," was the an-
swer. "I am trespassing."’
“Eh?” said Pantaloon, and looked
at his companions, some of the as-
surance beaten out of his big red
face. "Whose land is this””
Andre-Louis answered, whilt
drawing on his stockings. “I believe
it to be the property of the Marquis
de La Tour d’Azyr."
Having donned his boots, Andre-
Louis came nimbly to the ground
in his shirt-sleeves, his riding-coat
over his arm.
They followed him through that
gap in the hedge to the encamp-
ment ou the common. There Andre-
Louis perceived a young man of the
company performing his morning
toilet at a bucket placed upon one
of the wooden steps at the tail of the
house on wheels.
“I would beg leave to imitate that
very excellent young gentleman be-
fore I leave you,” he said frankly to
M. Pantaloon.
“But, by all means. Ithodomont

So Andre-Louis once more remov-

rolled up the sleeves of his uno
shirt, whilst Rhodmont procured

broken comb. This last Andre-
Louis-grateuily accepted, and having
presentiy washed himseir clean, u:ood

He was standing thus, when his
ears caught the sound of hoos. He
looked over his shoulder careiezsly,
and then stood frozen, with up lilted

bordered it, he beheld u party oi
