(Paul goes on laying. One or two of
the men get up and execute a clumsy
dance.)
Madeleine. (To Michel, down stage)
There is trouble in your eye, my
friend. I saw it when I came in.
Michel. The captain has discovered
treachery. There are villains abroad.
Madeleine. Here? Among our brave
Bretons?
Michel. Traitors creep In everywhere.
The captain's plans have been be
trayed. We shall move on at once
this evening. The rendezvous has
been suddenly changed.
Madeleine. Do they suspect anyone?
Michel. I do not know for certain
whom the captain Buspects. But.
mamzelle, people speak but ill of
your cousin M. Mehee de la Touche.
Madeleine. Alas! that I have to own
tnat cousin. Wherever he goes
treachery and murder follow in his
track. What of him? (With a tone
or anxious terror.)
Michel. The captain has been told
that Mehee had left Paris on a secret
mission hither.
Madeleine. He would not dare.
Michel. He does not want for daring
oi mat Kina. He has been an agent
for the emigres and betrayed them.
He had . been agent for the French
republic and betrayed them, too. He
corresponds with the Enellsh srov
eminent and sells their secrets to
the French,
Madeleine. Why should he come here?
Michel. To get hold of the captaln'B
intentions; to inveigle the Chouans
to their destruction; to learn where
the army of the emigres will land.
There Is a great deal, mamzelle, for
your cousin to do.
Madeleine. Well he wllr be discovered
and then
Michel. Short work. His back to a
wall. A platoon in front of him.
Men. (All jump to their feet.) The
captain! The captain!
Enter Georges Cadoudal, about live
and twenty military . bearing and
dress, . carrying cutlass and pistols.
Looks around, salutes the men.)
Cadoudal. Good. There are more out
side. The village has done well.
Michel. Not another man left In It
captain,
Cadoudal. All men of Lokmariaker!
Landlady. I know them all, captain.
Good men and true except that
white faced man In the corner. I
don't know him.
Michel. Ah! Come out you white
faced fellow. (Steps over anu lays
hands on his shoulder and brings him
before the captain.) . .
Cadoudal. So, sir. who are you?
Landlady. He says that he Is named
Jacques Candenac, from Sarziau.
There is no one- of that name known
at Sarziau.
Cadoudal. Indeed!
Landlady. Says he's a smuggler. They
are all smugglers In S?rz!au,but th re
Is no Jacques Candenac among them.
Cadoudal. Show him to the men, Mi
chel. See if they know him. (They
all look at him and shake their heads.
Cadoudal. (Down stage with Made
leine.) My dear, all promises well.
There will be a descent In a week or
two by the English lleet with 6,000
emigres. This time we shall give a
final account of the Blues. Hocke
will find the Chouans too much for
htm.
Madeleine. Five thousand emigres?
Ohl It is splendid! . ,
Cadoudal. But, sweetneart, there Is
treachery abroad. At every point I
learn that troops are gathered in
numbers thnt show design, not acci
dent If I could only lay my hands on
the traitors! '
Madeleine. Courage, Georges. 'A trai
tor is always found, sooner or later.
Cadoudal. Meantime, the mischief may
be done.
(Outside bugle and roll of a drum. Men
all Jump up, take muskets and go out
Voice of command heard.)
MlofaeL (Bringing Mehee to the cap
tain by the shoulder.) No one knows j
htm captain. t
Cadoudal. (To Mehee) Speak you.
Mehee. For your own ear. captain.
(Thev come down the stage to the
front, landlady goes on with her knit
ting. Annette goes on with her shred
ding. Madeleine behind Mehee. M.chel
behind Georges.)
Cadoudal For my pwn ear? Well
speak. Mehee. What I said about Sarslau was
not true. I am cn secret set vice from
The British government. 1 bear cre
dentials signed by Pitt I am here
to take over the channel tonight any
message or letter you may wish to
send.
Cadoudal. Humph! Credentials from
Pitt? Do ynu know, sir, it Is a
mighty dangerous thing to carry
about credentials frcm Pitt in this
country?
Mehee. What I said about Fa-z'.au was
thing to lead half armed rebels
against the republic. Since It is for
the cause we do not think of the
danger.
Cadoudal. Well let me see your cre
dentials. Mehee. They are here. (Produces
leathern , pocketbook takes out let
ter.) Read what Is written, captali.
Cadoudal. (Reads) "To those whom it
may concern. The bearer. Andre
Bernard. Is a safe and trustworthy
person. Letters and Information
trusted to him are taken over the
channel ns opportunity may serve.
Pitt." Signed Pitt! Signed Pitt!!
This Is very strange. Ha!
Mehee. Signed Pitt. What more do
you want?
Cadouda:. Madeleine, Michel help me
to judge this case. They step down
the stage.) This man shows me a let
ter of recommendation signed by none
other than Pitt. Pitt, himself! For a
common sailor named Andre Bernard,
otherwise called Jacques Candenac
wonderful
Medeleine. (Looking into his face.) I
seem to remember him. I have Seen
that face before.
Cadoudal. When I was In London T
saw the Great Man's secretary. I
asked him about secret agents. . He
told me that I must find, them for
myself; that since the double dyed
treachery, of, one Mehee. de la
Touche
Madeleine. My cousin.
Cadoudal. He would trust no French
man again. There, also, I saw cer
tain documents which were known ta
me; they were signed by Pitt Well,
the signature that I saw is not this
signature. The letter Is a forgery.
(Hngl' drum and word of command
without.)
Michel. In that case, the men are
ready, captain, as you hear.
Mt-hce. The paper is as I received It I
came here, captain, to say that I cross
the channel tonight and to ask for
letters. Why distrust me?
Cadoudal. Because you are proved a
liar. Take him out, Michel. Let htm
be shot at once. You can search him
afterwards.
(Michel seizes him roughly by the coat
collar. Can and wig fall off disclose
a llRht-halred man.)
Madeleine. (Shrieks and clasps her
hands.) My cousin Mehee de la
Touche! Oh! Villain!
Michel. The murderer of September!
The companion of Danton! The
friend of the butcher Talllen! Ah!
Mehee. (Looks round, helplessly)
Madeleine
Michel. (Drags him to the door.) Come,
traitor and murderer.
Madeleine. Georges! he must die, of
course. And yet yet
yet he is my cousin, and In Brit
tany cousinship counts for so much.
Cnrdoudal. (To Michel.) Stay. Let
him go. Send him across the Mor
bihan to Sarziau. (To Mehee.) You
villain, you traitor! For the sake of
Madeleine, your cousin, that noble
soul whom I have dared to love I
spare you. Live to 1111 up the cup of
your. Iniquities. Go I give you life.
Mehee. (Walks to door turns.) A gift
which I will never forget (Aside) nor
forgive.
(Madeleine sinks on her knees and
clasps the hand of Oeorges.)

Landlady. Annette Go pick the sor

dull time. All the men out fighting.
When will It end? They are Hons,
Our brave fellows But (Sighs)
how will It end? From this corner
we are fighting all France. Well
well The captain is everywhere;
he sees to everything he directs
everything he wins all the victories.
(Enter Annette her apron full of sor
rel.) Madame! There Is news. There
has been a battle. Oh! clise by
but five miles away. I heard the
cannon firing.
Landlady. How, do you know? Who
told you ? t
Annette. Little Jean Kerdac. He was
among the soldiers. When the fight
ing began he lay down behind a big
stone a menhir and looked on. He
says It was beautiful to see ' the
Chouans drive back the Blues. When
they were driven out of the wood he
came home.
Landlady. Two or more such victories
' and we shall have the British with us
And the captain?
Annette. I don't know. . (Goes on with
preparations for soup.)
Enter Madeleine joyous excited
she has a small gun In her hand.)
Madeleine. Have you heard the news,
madame? We have defeated them
and put them to flight.
Landlady. How do- you know, ma'am
Belle? Madeleine. I was there. I have Just re
turned from the Held of battle.
Landlndy. You, ma'amsello? Re
turned from the field of battle?
Madeleine. Why not? Where our brave
Bretons are, there would I be too!
I take good care of myself. Like a
"READ WHAT IS WRITTEN."
coward woman I hide behind stones.
But I watch the battle. Oh! They
are scattered they are flying. My
Georges is splendid. The bullets
strike men down to right and left of
htm; but Georges they never touch.
He Is the captain and the conqueror.
Why he will sweep France through
from end to end.
(Enter Michel Le Robine. He Is
wounded and totters. He has a torn
jacket; his hand Ib tied up with a hand
kerchief. Landlady. (Springs to her feet.) M'sleu
Michel!
Madeleine. (Runs to his assistance.)
Michel. (She helps him to a chair or
bench and ..opens his collar.) Quick,
Annette, water! Quick! And cognac,
Annette and a pillow quick. (She
bends over him. He opens his eyes,
His head falls back upon the pillow.)
Landlady He has fainted.
Madeleine. (Puts her hand on his
heart.) The heart beats still. ' An
nettethe cognao! (Pours a little
between his Hps. He op.m his eyes.
Madeleine lifts his hand.) Michel,
brother, look up you are better?'
Michel. No. Madeleine, I am worse. , I
had something to say.
Madeleine. What la it Michel? Do
not mind It now. Think of yourself.
Michel. I had something to say what
was It? I forget It It was Important
I have lost it Madeleine. I am dy
ing. Bring the cure I must confess.
Madeleine. The cure Is with the army.
Oh. what shall we do?
Annette. There Is a Dominican friar
a Black friar who has been about
the village for two or three days. I
will bring him. (Exit Annette.)
(Enter Cadoudal.)
Madeleine. Georges!
Cadoudal. Where Is Michel? I heard
(bending over him with back to audi
ence; slight pantomlne of examina
tion. Turning round to others.) It
Is but too true. It is Internal bleed
ing. Nothing can save him.
Madeleine. Georges, what has hap
pened? Cadoudal. . The enemy are In full flight
They are disposed of for a week
what do I say? forever! Michel, my
dear comrade, is this your fate?
Michel. Fveryone In his turn, captain.
Who could ask for a better way?
Cadoudal. (Kneels beside him.) True
'QUICK, ANNIE
comrade! loyal friend! faithful sol
dier! There Is no better way. Else
In the name of heaven how could
one see these things daily and yet go
on? Is there anything I can do for
you?
Michel. (Faintly.) Nothing except
to send for the priest
(Enter Annette, with Mehee disguised
as a Dominican, with black hood over
his head. Lenns over Michel. Made
leine kneels and supports Michel's head.
One hears the murmur of the confes
sion: "Mea culpa; mea culpa; mea
maxima culpa." These words grow
fainter. Pretended Domlnlctan mur
murs In ear of dying man. Cadoudal,
Annette and Landlady stand with fold
ed hands and bowed heads. The con
fession Is finished. The friar crosses
the forehead of the dying man. Made
leine lays his head upon a pillow. Then
all gather round him. The Domlnlctan
is In the doorway looking out.)
Madeleine. He is not dead, Georges!
His heart was beating but a moment
ago, and his voice was strong to ask
