Brevet, Chenildieu, Cochepaille,

leaps to hia feet
''Brevet! Chenildieu! Cochepaille!
Look thia way!"
All eyes ia tha court turn to Jean,
tending among the privileged spec

to tha court as a whole.
"I An Jean Valjeaa"

quickly aa possible. Ha goea to tha
hospital to leave money with Fas tin
to take care of herself and Coaette.
Javert arrives on hia heels. He is
no longer the humble, deferential
person. Thia man, M. Madeleine, hu
miliated him before. ; ,
Fantina falls back in a fit of cough'
ing in her excitement
"Jean Valjean, I arreat you by or
der of the court We want the saint
ly M. Madeleine, tha forgiving Chris
tian. Yea, you could afford to be
lenient, couldn't you? You could af
ford to let me crawl to you and to
forgive me. How beautifully you did

Tne ahock la too much lor tne tast

"Cosette! Cosettel" ahe falls back on
the pillow dead.
Jean moves slowly to Javert, nis
anger mounting.
"You did it! Your very presence
killed her, So? Cosette shall go to
an institution, eh? It'a the law, is
it? But there's an old law older
than ours "
Then the whole of his restraint
gives way and with something of the
strength and fury of the man of the
galleys be seizes Javert by the throat
and hurls him across the room with
terrific force against the wall. Javert
drops to the floor, insensible.
Jean and Cosette are standing at
the doorway of the Convent Petit St.
Jean, outside of Paris. The mother
superior ia reading a note Jean him
self haa penned:
"Thin will introduce my good
friend, M. Duval, and his daughter
Cosette " It is signed M. Made
leine. ,
"II. Madeleine has always been
most generoua to us," saya the nun.
"His last bequest came as a godsend.
He asks us to look after your little
girl and give you a position as gar
dener here."
"Ia that possible?" queries Jean
anxiously.
"We'll do anything for M. Made
leine: and in helping you we shall feel
that in some way we are repaying him
for hia goodness to us."
Flva Cloistered Years
For five peaceful yeara the cloister
walla of tha convent aerved as a kind
ly shield and haven from tha law.
Jean's surprise for Cosette upon grad
uation ia a dignified but modeat house
near tha Boia, in Paris. She is seen
quit constantly in the company of
young Marius, leader of the Students'
Society for Law Reform, which ia lit
erally snowing under the French capi
tal with literature decrying the pres
ent penal laws and unjust, inhuman
punishment a cause that strikes
home with Jean. Cosette and Marius
are rapidly falling in love. - .
Javert again appeara on the scene.
Thia time he is shadowing several, ef
the young revolutionists, Marine
among them, in an attempt to get-to
a possible "higher-up" who is sup
plying funds to the reform society.
His trail leada him unknowingly ."to
Jean'a house. But Jean had caught
a glimpse of him througli the garden
fence, and, realising Javert haa rec
ognized him, and sensing trouble,
slips out the back way with Coaette
aa Javert hammers frantically at the
front door. .
It ia Javert who comes to the door
when Marius arrives to apeak to
Jean of his love for Cosette.
"Nobody's here!" ia Javert'a curt
greeting.
"But didn't they leave any word
for me?"
"They left no message for any
body." "Have you an address?"
"Not yet" (grimly). -
"But I must find them my nasa

June Suggestions Fcr
Orchards And Gardens
lOrchardists and vegetable growers
consider June an Important period in
the1 cultivation and ' care of garden
and fruit crops.
. If a good yield is to be obtained,
free from rot and other injuries, in
sect and disease must be controlled,
says M. E. Gardner, head of the hor
ticultural department at State Col
lege, i
. Spraying and dusting are particu
larly Important at this time of year,
Gardner points out, since it is essen
tial to- control insects and disease be
fore they have time to develop.
The spraying or dusting should be
done at the right time and with the
proper materials. Apply them tho
roughly to all parts' of the plant.
Calenders showing the recommend
ed spray mixtures for apple and
peach trees, and the time to use them
may. be obtained without cost from
the agricultural editor at State Col
lege, Raleigh.
Frequent cultivation of the soil will
keep down grass and weeds, which
rob the soil of moisture and food that
should be available" for the crops.
But do not cultivate too deeply, Gard
ner, warns, as deep cultivation often
