Plabchet, who bad returned from Lon don. opened the door to him. "Has any one brought a letter for Bar aakad D'Artagnan eagerly. "No one baa brought a latter, mon sieur." replied Planchet, "but there la one come of ltaelt When I came in, although 1 had the key of your apart ment In my pocket and that key had never been out of my possession, I found a letter upon tbe green table cover In your bedchamber. I left it where I found it monsieur. Beware, monsieur, there la certainly some msglc in It" Whits Planchet was ssying this the young man had darted Into his clum ber and seized and opened the letter. It waa from lime. Bonacieux and waa conceived In these terms: Tfc.r* are many thanks to be offend to you and to b. transmitted to you.

C. a It wss the first billet he bad re ceived, it wss the first rendesvous that had ever been granted him. His heart, swelled by the Intoxication of joy, felt ready to dissolve. At 7 o'clock In the morning he arose and called his servant "Planchet" said he, 1 am going out for all day perhaps. Ton are therefore your own maater till 7 o'clock In the evening, but at 7 (/clock you muat hold yourself in readlneea with two horses. By this evening there will be four in the guard stables." Nodding to Planchet D'Artagnan went out M. Bonacieux waa standing at hla door. D'Artagnan'a intention was to go out without speaking to the worthy mercer, but tbe latter made so polite and friendly a salutation that his ten ant felt obliged not only to atop, but to enter into conversation with him. Besides, how is It possible to avoid a little condeecenslon toward a husband whoss pretty wife has appointed a meeting with you that same evening at St Oloud, opposite the pavilion of M. d'Estrees? The conversation naturally fell upon the incarceration of the poor man. M. Bonacieux expatiated at great length upon the Baatille. D'Artagnan listened to him with ex emplary complaisance and when he had finished aald: "And Mme. Bonacieux, do you know who carried her off, for I do not for get that I owe to that unpleasant cir cumstance the good fortune of having made your acquaintance?" "Ahr aald Bonacieux. "They took good care not to tell me that, and my wife on her part haa sworn to me by all that's sacred that aha does not know. But you," continued It. Bona cieux In a tone of perfect bonhomie, "what has become of you for several daya paat? I have not aeen either yon or any of your friends." "My dear M. Bonacieux, my friends and I have been on a little Journey." "Far from Paris?" "Oh, Lord, no I About forty leaguee only. We went to take M. Athos to the waters Of Forges, where my friends have remained." "May I know whether you will be late tonight?" aaked Bonacieux. "Why do you aak me that question, my dear host?" "Since my arrest and the robbery that waa committed In my house I "I am alarmed every time I hear a deer opened." tm alarmed every time I hear a door opened, particularly In the Bight" "Well, doa't be alarmed If I come home at 1, 2 or 8 o'clock in the morn ing. Indeed, do not be alarmed If I do not ene at all." This time Bemcfeu became so pale that IPArtagnan conld not do other wise than perceive It and asked him what was the matter.

You mnst take care of yourself." "What have I to fear," replied D*Ar tagnan, "as long as I shall bare the good fortune to enjoy the favor of their majesties?" "Everything, believe me. Tbe cardi nal is not the man to forget a mystifi cation until he has settled his ac counts with the mystifler." "Do you believe that tbe cardinal knows as much aa you do and knows that I have been to London?" "London! Was it from London you brought that beautiful diamond that glitters on your finger? Beware, my dear D'Artagnan; a present from an enemy la not a good thing." "This diamond doea not come from an enemy, monsieur," replied D'Arta gnan. 'lt comes from the queen." "From the queen! Oh, oh!" said M. de Treville. "Why, it Is Indeed a true royal jewel, which la worth 1,000 pis toles If it la worth a denier. By whom did tbe queen send you this jewel?" "She gave it to me herself." And he related to M. de Treville how the af fair had passed. "Listen to me," said M. de Treville; "shall I give you a good piece of ad vice—a piece of friendly advice?" "You will do me honor, monaieur," aald D'Artagnan. "Well, then, go to the nearest gold smith's and sell that diamond for the highest price you can get from him. He will give you at leaat 800 pistoles. Pistoles have no name, young man, and that ring haa a terrible one, which may betray him who weara It" "Bell this rlng-ra ring which comes from my sovereign—never!" said D'Ar tagnan. "Then at least turn the gem Inside, you silly fellow, for everybody must be aware that a cadet .from Gaacony does not flnd such gems In hla mother's jew el case." "You think, then. I have something to dread?" asked D'Artagnan. "What mnst I do?" "Be particularly, and at all times, on your guard. The cardinal has a tena clous memory and a long arm. You may depend upon it, he will repay you by eome 111 turn. Take every care. The least that'can be expected Is that you will be arrested; Mistrust every body, your friend, your brother, your mistress—your mistress In particular. A woman la one of the cardinal's fs vorlte means." D'Artagnan thought of tbe appoint ment Mme. Bonacieux had made with him for that very evening, but M. de Treville did not Inspire him with the least suspicion of his pretty hostess. "But," resumed M. de Trevllle. "what baa become of your three companions?" "I left them on my road—Porthos at Chantllly, with a duel on his hands; Aramls at Crevecoeur, with a ball in big shoulder, and Athos at Amiens, de tained by an accusation of coining!" "See there, now!" said M. de Tre vllle. "And bow did you escape?" "By a miracle, monsieur, I must ac knowledge, with a sword thrust in my breast and by nailing M. le Comte de Wardes on the byroad to Calais • butterfly on a tapestry." 'There again!

And D'ArtagToan left M. de Trevllle penetrated more than ever by bis pa ternal solicitude for his musketeers. He called successively at the abodes of Athos, Porthos and Aramls. None of them had returned. Their lackeys likewise were absent, and nothing had been beard of either masters or serv ants. Aa he paased the Hotel des Gardes ha took a glance Into the stables. Three out of the four horses were al ready arrived. Planchet all astonish ment, was busy grooming them and had already lints bed two.

Plftuchetwas nrraed with his mus kelqon and a pistol. D'Artagnan bad his sworti and placed two pistols In hla belt ..Then both mounted and de parted quietly. It waa quite dprk, and no one saw tbem go out. '■ ' ryArtagnan crossed the quays, went out by tho gate of La Conference end proceeded along the road, much more beautiful' then than it Is now, which leads to St. Cloud. As soon as the road began to be more lonely and dark Planchet drew softly nearer to D'Artagnan, eo that when they entered tbe Bols de Bou logne he found himself riding- quite naturally side by side With his mas ter. D'Artagnan could not help per ceiving that aomethlng more than usual was passing In the mind of hla lackey and said: "Well, Master Planchet, what la the matter with us now?" "Ah, monsieur," replied Planchet, re curring to his besetting Idea, "that M. Bonacieux haa- something vicious In hla eyebrows, hla lips!" "What makes you think of Bona cieux now?" "Monsieur, wo think of what we can and not of what we i>lll. Is not that the barrel of a musket which glitters yonder? Had we not better lower our heads?" "In truth," murmured D'Artagnan, to whom M. do Trevllle's, warning re curred, "In truth this animal will end by making me afraid." And he put hla horse Into a trot. Planchet followed the movements of hla master as If he had been hla shadow and was Boon trotting by his side. "Are we going to continue this pace all night?" asked Planchet. "No, for you on your part are at your Journey's end. You are cold, Planchet. Go Into one of those Inna that you see yonder and be waiting for me at tho door by 0 o'clock In the morning." D'Artagnan sprang from his horse, threw the bridle to Planchet and de parted at a quick pace, folding his cloak around him. "Good Lord, how cold I am!" cried Plr.nchet as soon as he had lost sight of bis master, and in such haste waa he to warm himself, thdt be went straight to a house set out with all tbe attributes of a suburban tan and knocked at the door. In the meantime IVArtngnnn, who had plunged Into n bypath, continued bis route and gullied 8t Cloud. He found himself soon In front of the pa vilion named. It v.-as situated In a very private spot A high wall at tho angle of which was the pavilion, ran along one side of this lane, and on the other was a little garden, connected with a poor cottage, which was pro jected from passengers by a hedge. lie gained the phrcfc appointed, and an no signal had been given him by which to announce tils presence, ha waited. • Not the least noise was to be heard. It might IIP" Imagined that be was a hundred miles from the Capital. D'Ar tngnan leaned against the hedge, aft er having cast n glance beliind him. At the end of a few minutes the belfry of St. Cloud let fall slowly ten strokes from its sonorous jaws. His eyes were fixed upon the little pavilion situated at tho angle of the wull, of which all the windows were closed with shutters, except one on the first story. Through this window shone a mild light, Li'Artagnan waited half an hour without the least Impatience. The belfr/. of St Cloud struck half-past 10. This time, without at all knowing why, D'Artagnan felt a cold shiver run-through hi* veins, j The Idea seized him that he had read inrorre-tlj, and that the oiipoliitroent was for 11 o'clock. But he had not been mistaken: the ap|>olntuieot was for 10 O'clock. ** lie resinned his post, teglnning to be pretty uneasy at this silence and this solitude. Eleven o'clock struck. D'Artugnuu began now really to fear that something had happened to ilm* Bonatleux. lie clapped his band* three times, (he ordinary signal of lov er*. but nobody replied to him—Dot even an echo. He then tbongbt with a touch of vexation that perhaps the young woman hud fallen asleep while waiting for hlin. At that moment bo thought of some trees, upon whose leaves the Itgbt still shone, and as one of them drooped over the road be thought that from Its branches be might succeed in getting • glimpse of the Interior of the room. In an Instant be was itnung the branches, and his keen eyes plunged through the transpsrent window Into the Interior of the pavilion. He saw a scene of fearful disorder. One of the windows wss broken, the door of the chamber had been beaten in and bung, split In two, on Its binges, • table, which bad been covered with •a elegant supper, was overturned, the decanters broken In pieces and tbe fruits, strewed tbe floor. Ev erything In tbe apartment gar* evi dence of a violent and desperate strag gle. D'Artagnan even fancied be could recognize amid this strange disorder fragments of garments and some bloody spots staining tbe cloth and tbe curtain*. He hastened down Into the street and then perceived that tbe growd, trampled here and hoof marked than, presented confused traces of man and borsea. ' Besides, tbe frbaeta of a car riage, jwblch appeared to bare come from PsrU. bad made a deep Impree •lon In tbe soft earth, which did not extend beyond tbe pavilion, but toned again toward Paris. At length D'Artagnan. in following np his researches. found nesr tbe wall a woman's torn glove. Then be became almoat wild. He ran along tbe blgb road, took the path be bad before tak en, and, coming to tbe ferry, closely interrogated (he boatman. About 7 o'clock In tbe evening, tbe boatman said, be bad taken over a yonng woman enveloped In a black mantle, wbo appeared to be Very anx ious not to be aeen. Everything con spired to prove to D'Artagnan that bis presentiment* lisd_ jxot deceived him ami that a gi*6ut misfortune nan Hap pened. He again ran back to tbe cha teau. It appeared to him that some thing might have happened at the pa vilion In bis absence and that fresh In formation awaited him. The lane waa atlll empty, and tbe same calm aeft light shone from the window. D'Artagnan then thought of that si lent obscure cottsge. The gate of tbe taclosure was shut, but he leaped over the hedge, and In spite of tbe bsrklng of a chained up dog, went up to tbe cabin and knocked. It soon appeared "In th* nam* of h«av*nl Liitan to mi. 8p*akl" to him that'he heard a slight noise within, a timid noise, which seemed itself to tremble lest it should be heard. Then D'Artagnan ceased to knock and prayed with an accent so fall of anxiety and promises, terror anA ca jolery, that hla voice was of a nature to reassure the most fearful. "In the name of heaven!" cried he. "Listen to me. I have been waiting for some one who la not come; I am dying with anxiety. Has anything particular happened In tbe neighbor hood? Speak!" The window was opened slowly, and the pale face of an old man appeared. D'Artagnan related hla story sim ply, with the omission of namea. The old man Uatened attentively. When D'Artagnan had ended be shook hla head. 'What do you mean?" cried D'Arta gpau. "In the name of beaven, tell me, explain yourself!" "Ob, monsieur," said the old man, "ask me nothing, for if I told you what I have seen certainly no good would befall me!" "You have then seen something?" replied D'Artagnan. "in that case, In the name.of beaven." continued be, throwing him a pistole, "tell me what you have aeen and I will pledge you the word of a gentlemnn that not one of your words shall escape from my heart" Tbe old man Mid: "It was scarcely 0 o'clock when I beard a noise In tbe street I opened tbe gate and *aw three men at a few paces from It in the shade waa a carriage with two horses, and a man held three aaddle horses.

In the cam paign Inauguraied for tbe extermina tion of tbe fly four steps are outlined; .First —To .du.ate the people as to the deadly nature o1 the fly. Seoond.—To kill off all winter fli.s— these hidden about the houses, waiting thsir season of forsgs. Third.—To do sway with sll brssding places for flisa. Fourth.—To trap all flies thst hsppen to escape. Aa the first Htep addresses on tho subject are being made before tbe va rious women's clubs und lu tbe schools of tbe city. Circulars und booklets will be distributed among the children of the achools, to be curried by tbem to their homes; posters and Illustrated bulletins will lie placed In tbe schools. In tbe street cars and other public places, currying tbe sermon of tbe fly reform. The extermination of the winter fly Is a problem for tbe Individual house keeper. Don't let one fly escape you. Hunt for them and kill tbem, for the winter fly is the most dangerous of the race. The winter fly Is the mother of all next summer's terrible tliroug. To do away with tho fly breeding placee Is merely a matter of cleanli ness, for the fly Is a scavenger, a lover of filth and an habitual follower after all that Is unclean und unwholesome. Clean houses, gardens and yards, clean streets and alleyways discourage the fly In Its breeding proclivities, and therefore the doctrine of cleanliness Is to be preached by the anti-fly cru saders. along with the sermons on the deadly character of the Insect And carrying out tho fourth step all the bouse furnishing stores In tbe city will be asked to carry In stock and push the sale of fly trails, marvelous little wire screen bouses to be baited with milk, wherein a fly once entrap ped Is doomed. With the campaign of education will lie given complete In structions for the use of the fly trap, which mny be placed on porches or window sills, on garbage palls—any where that flies arc likely to congre gate, but always on the outalde of the hopse—always outside. Catch the fly outside of the house before it haa a ohanoe to come In snd sprssd Its pel son snd disease. This city Is to be divided Into dis tricts and each district divided again Into clans and clulis, and from eacb center, small or large, branches will reach out. grappling with the subject In whatever way seems best adapted to that Individual section. Ossth to the fly la to be the battle cry. It Is to be s fight of msn sgsinst his ensrtiy th. fly snd of th. fly against man. —Cleveland Leader. WT * '' m —Donahey in Cleveland Plain Dealer.
