THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
THE THREE GUARDSMEN
BY ALEXANDRE DUMAS
" fifteen hundred pistoles each, my
lord."
"How many days would it require to
make two studs exactly ilka them]
Ton see. there ate two wanting."
"A week, my lord." »
'1 will give yon 34000 pistoles each
for two It I can tin re them by the day
after tomorrow."
"My lord, yon shall have them."
"You are a lewel of a man. Master
O'Reilly,. tat that is not all-theae
studs cannot fee trusted to anybody—it
mast be effected In the palace."
"Impossible, my lord. There is no
one but myself can execute them so,
that the now may n»t be dtotlnguhtod
from the old."
"Therefore, my dear Master O'Reilly,
yon are my prisoner. Name to me
such of your workmen as yon stand la
need of and point out the tools they
must bring."
The goldsmith wrote to hi* wife,
charging her to send his most skillful
apprentice, an assortment of diamonds,
of which be gave the names and the
weight, and the necessary tools.
Buckingham led the goldsmith to the
chamber destined for him aad which,
at the end of half an hour, was trans
formed Into a workshop. Then he
placed a sentinel at each doorf with
an order to admit nobody npon any
pretense but his valet de chambre, Pat
rick.-
Buckingham assigned D'Artagnan a
chamber adjoining his own. He wish-'
ed to have the yonng man at hand, not
that be at-all mistrusted him, tat for
{he sake of having some one to whom
he could constantly talk about tta
queen.
In one hour after the ordinance was
published in London that no vassal
bound for France should leave the
ports—not wn the packet boat with
letters. In the eyes of everybody this
was a*tleclaratlon of war between the
two kingdoms.
On the day after the morrow, by 11
o'clock! the two diamond studs were
finished. They were Imitated perfect
ly to look like the others.
Buckingham immediately called
D'Artagnan.
"Here," said he to him, "are the dia
mond studs that you came to fetch
and be my witness that I have done all
that human power coufl do."
"Be satisfied, milord; I will tell all
that I have seen. But does your grace
mean to give me the studs without the
casket?"
"The casket would only Incumber
you. Besides, the casket Is the more
precious from being all that Is left to
me. You will say that 1 keep it And
now, how shaU I ever acquit myself
of the debt I owe your'
D'Artagnan colored up to the eyes.
"Let us understand each other, mi
lord," replied he. "What I have done
has been for the qneen and not at all
for your grace. And, still further, for
one who Is my lady, aatta queen Is
yours."
"I understand," said the duke, smil
ing, "and I even believe that I know
that other person. It is"—
"Milord, I have not named her!"
"That Is true," said the duke, "and
it is to this person I am bound to dis
charge my debt of gratitude."
"You have said, milord; for truly,
at this moment when there Is question
of war I confess to yon that 1 see
nothing in your grace tat an enemy,
whom I should have great pleasure In
meeting on the field of battle, all
which, however, will not prevent me
from executing to the very point my
commission or tram laying down my
life."
D'Artagnan tawed to the duke and
,was retiring.
"Weil, you are going away fas that
manner! But where and how?"
"I had forgotten tut England was
an Island, and that you wen the king
of It."
"Go to the port, ask for tho brig
Bund and give this letter to the cap
tain. He will convey yon to a little
port, where certainly yon are not ex
pected, and which is ordinarily only
frequented by fishermen."
"What is the name of that port?"
"St. Valery. But listen; When yon
have arrived there you will go to a
mean inn. wltbont a name and without
a sign, a mere fisherman's but Yon
cannot be mistaken; there is but one."
"And then?"
"You will aak for the host aad will
repeat to bin the word 'Forward r
That is the password. He will give
you a ready saddled hofse and wilt
point out to you the road yon are to
take. il You will find In tbla manner
four relays on your route. If you
will give at each of these relays your
address in Parts the four horses will
follow you tMttar. Toe already knew
two of tbem. They wars these w»

equipped tor the field However proud
jou may be. you will not refuse to ac
cept one'of tbem and to request year
three companions to accept the oth
ers. That Is in order to make war
Against os besides.'*
D'Artagnan made bis way as quick
ly ss possible to tbe port Fifty ves
sels wet* watting to ae* out in mo
mentary expectation of the removal of
the prohibition. When passing along
side of one of tbem D'Artagnan fan
cied be pereeived on board of it tbe
lady of Means, tbe sssss whom tbe
unknown gentleman bad styled milady
and who D'Artagnan bad thought was

"Everything Is paid," replied tta
host, "and liberally. Begone, then, and

"Amen!" cried the young mah and
Set off at full gallop.
It was tho same at Neofcbatel, at
Eccuto and at Pontolee. At tbe last
named place he changed his horse for
the laat time and at 8 o'clock galloped
into tbe yard of M. de Trevllle> hotel.
He had performed nearly sixty leagues
in little more than twelve hours.
CHAPTER XVII.
The Ballet of La Meilaisen.
ON the morrow nothing was talk
ed of In Parts but tta ball
which tbe aldermen of the city
were to give to the king and
queen.
At midnight great crlea snd loud ac
clamations were beard In tbe city. It
was tbe king, who was passing through
tee streets which led from the Louvre
to the Hotel de Viiie and which were
all Illuminated with colored lamps. Im
mediately the aldermen, clotbed in
their cloth robes and preceded by six
sergeants, holding each a flambeau In
hla hand, went to attend upon the king,
wbdm they met ofiKto steps, where the
provoet of the merchants offered him
the compliment of welcome. Every
body observed that tho king looked
dull and preoccupied.
A closet had been prepared for the
iking with a masquerade habit. Tbe
same had been done with respect to
tbe qneen.
Before entering bis closet tbe king
desired to be informed tbe moment tbe
cardinal arrived
Half an hour after the entrance ot
the king fresh acclamations were
beard. These announced the arrival of
the queen. She entered the great ball,
and It waa remarked that, like tbe
king, she looked dull and. moreover,
fatigued.
At the moment she entered the cur
tain of a small gallery, which to that
been closed, was drawn, and
the * - Otfaof the cardinal appeared,
he being dST—cu' as a Spanish cava
lier. His eyes were fixed upon those
of the queen and a smile of terrible
Joy paased over bis lips. Tbe queen
did not w«ar her diamond studs.
All at once tbe king appeared at one
of the doors of tbe ball. The cardinal
was speaking to him In a low voice,
and the king was very pale.
The king made hla way through the
crowd without a mask and the ribbons
of hla doublet scarcely tied He went
straight to the queen and in an altered
voice said:
"Why, madame, have you not
thought proper to wear your diamond
studs when you know It would have
given me so much gratification 7"
"Sire," replied the queen with a fal
tering voice, "because. In tbe midst ot
such a crowd as this I feared some ac
cident might happen to them. 1 can
aend for tbem to the Louvre, where
they are, and thua- your majesty's
wishes will be compiled with."
"Do so, madame—do sq, and that at
the quickest; for within an hour the
ballet will commence."
The queen bent in token of submis
sion and followed tho ladles who were
to conduct her to tar closet On bis
part the king returned to his.
Tbe king came out first from his
closet He wss in a hunting coeturns
of the most elegant description.
The cardinal drew near to the king
end placed In bis hand a small casket.
The king opened it snd found in it two
diamonds. ,
"What does this mean?" demanded
he of tta cardinal.
"Nothing," replied tbe latter; "only,
if the queeo baa tta studs, of-whicb 1
very much doubt, count them, sire,
and if you only find ten, ask her ma
jesty who can have stolen from her
tbe two stsds that are here."
The king looked at .the cardinal as
if to lnterrogste him, but he tad not
time to address any question to him.
A cry of admiration bunt from every
month. The queen waa, without doubt,
the most beautiful woman in Franc*.
It is true that the habit of a huntress
became her admirably. She wore a
beaver hat with Mae feathers, a sur
tont of gray-pearl velvet, fastened
with diamond clasps, and a skirt of
bine satin, embroidered with sliver.
On tar left sboalder sparkled tbe dia
mond studs upon a bow of tbe asms
color ss tta plumes aad tta skirt
Tta Una trembled with Joy end tbe
cardinal with vexation. Nevertheless,
distant as ttay were' from tbe qneen,
they could not eeunt tbe steds. Tta
queen tad tbem. The only qoestloa
Wss, bad she ten or twelve?
At that moment tta vloMns sounded
the signal toT the ballet. Tta king
advanced towsrd Madam* Is Pre*-

to dan**, sad his hlgheaea Monsieur
tta Oust of got* sen a. a relative of
tta king, with tta qneen. Ttay. took
their plans, aad tbe beiWt begun.
Tta kin* figsiwd opposite tta qo*en,
aad evary tlm* that b* passed by h*r
be devoured with bis eyes ttaee studs,
of which h* could not ascertain tta
number. A cold sweat covered tbe
brow of tta cardinal.
Tta teplrt lasted as hoar. It ended
amid tbe applause of tta whole as
semblage, and every one reconducted
bis lady to her place. But tta king
took adranlage of tbe privilege ta bad
of leaving bis lady to advaaco eagerly
toward tta qo**n.
"I thank you. madame.'* said ta. tor
tta deference you bare shown to my
wlabei. tat I think you want two of
the atoda. aad 1 bring tbem tack to
you."
' "flow, stref cried tta youag queen,
effecting surprise. "Ton srs giving
me then two men. But then 1 shall
hav* fourteen."
In fact, tbe king counted them, snd
tta twelve studs were sil on tar ma J
fifty's shoulder.
. Tta king called tta cardinal to hist.
"What doss this smsa, M tta Car
dinal?" naked the king ta a severe
tons.
This means, sire," replied the car
dinal, "that I was desirous of prsssst
teg tar majesty with ttaee two steds

"And I am the more grateful to yonr
eminence." replied Anne of Austria,
wlth'a smile that proved abe was not
the dnpe of this Ingenious piece of
gallantry, "from being certain these
two studs have coat you as dearly as
all the others cost hla majesty."
Then after tawing to tta king nnd
the cardinal tta qneen resumed tar
way to the chamber in which ahe bad
dressed and where abe waa to teta
off her ball costume.
D'Artagnan, to whom Anne ef Ans
trta owed tbe extraordinary trlnntpb
she had obtained over the cardinal,
Wks lost in the crowd gathered at eae
of tbe doors. He looked en at this
scene, comprehensible only to four per
sons, tbe king, tta queen, his emi
nence and himself.
Tbe queen had Just regained bar
chamber, and D'Artagnan was about
to retire when he felt hla ahoulder
lightly touched. He turned round and
saw a young woman who made him a
sign to follow her. The face of thia
young woman waa covered with a
black velvet mask, tat ta recognised
Mme. Bonacieux.
On the evening before they had
scarcely seen each other for a mo
ment at tta apartment of tbe Swiss
Germain, whither D'Artagnan tad
sent for her. Tbe baste which th*
young woman waa In to convey to tar
mistress tbe excellent news of tta hap
py return of tar meaaenger prevented
tbe two from exchanging more than a
few words. D'Artagnan therefore fol
lowed Mme. Bonacieux, moved by a
double sentiment, love and curioaity.
She opened the door of a closet which
was entirely dark, and led D'Arta
gnan into it. There she made a sign ot
silence, and. opening a second door
concealed by s tapeatry and which
opening spread at ones s brilliant
light sbe disappeared.
D'Artagnan remained for a moment
motlonlesa, asking hlmaelf where h«
could be, but aoon a ray of light which
penetrated through tta chamber,
gether with the warm aad perfumed
air which reached him from tbe earn*
aperture, tbe conversstion of two or
three ladlea la a language at onoe re
spectful and elegant and tta word
"majesty" two or three times repeat
ed Indicated clearly that be was la S
closet attached to tho queen's cham
ber.
Tbe queen appeared to ta cheerful
and happy, which seemed to astonish
tbe persona who surrounded tar snd
who were accustomed to see tar al
most always sad and full of cars.
D'Artagnan heard her-approach snd
withdrew from tta partially open door,
D'Artagnan talaed tta Hand and
Teuohed It RespeeMully With Hla
Lips.
and twice or three times ta even saw
the shadow of a person Intercept the
light.
At length a band aad aa ana. sur
passingly beautiful In their term aad
whiteness, glided through tbe tapeatry.
D'Artagnan at onoe comprehended
that this was hla recompense. He cast
himself on bis knees, seised tta band
and touched It raapectfnlly with bis
Hps. Than tta band waa withdrawn,
leaving in bis an object whicb be per
ceived to ta s ring. Tbe door immedl
ately closed, aad D'Artagnan found
blmsaif again In complete darkness.
D'Artagnan waited. After tta reward
ef his devotion that of bis lovs wss
to come. Tbe sound of voioee dimin

chamber. Tta compeny was then
besrd departing, tben tta doer of
D'Artagnnn's closet was opened, nnt
Mme. Bonacienx entered qnickly.
"Yon at last?" cried D'Artegnsn.
"Silence!" said tta youag women,
