T W—- # ..
- Aa Instant after*am tne three young
men separated, agreeing to meet agnin
at 4 o'clock at Atbos' residence, and
leaving Plancbet to guard the bouse.
. Arsmls returned borne and Athos
and D'Artagnan went about pledging
tbe sapphire.
As tbe Gsscon hsd foreseen, they
found no difficulty tn obtaining SQO
pistoles upon the ring. Still further,
the Jeweler told them that If they
weald sell It to blm, as It Would make
a magnificent pendant-for earrings, he
weald gtve 500 pistoles for It
Atbos snd D'Artagnan, with the ac
tivity of two soldiers and 'he knowl
edge ef two Connoisseurs, hardly re
potted three hoars to purchase tbe en
tire equipment of the musketeer.
Bat when Arsmls* horse and equlp
msnt and those of Qrlmsud were pur
chased Atbos had not a sou left of his
150 pistoles. D'Artagnan offered his
friend a part of his share, which be
should return when convenient. '
But Athos oaly replied to this, pro
posal by shrugging his shoulders.
"Hew much did the Jeweler say he
Would give for the sapphire If he pur
chased it?" said Athos.
"Five hpndred pistoles."
"That Is to say, 200 more—loo pis
toles for yon and 100 pistoles for me.
Well, now, that would be a real for
tune to us, my friend. Go and tcl|
him the ring Is his, D'Artagnan, and
bring back the 200 pistoles with you."
Half an hour afterward D'Artagnan
returned with the 2,000 IIVTCS and
without having met with any hccident. .
It was thus Athos found at home
resources which he did not expect '
At 4 o'clock the fonr friends were sll
sssembled at Athos' spartments Sud
denly Plancbet entered, bringing two
letters for D'Artagnan. The one was
a little billet genteelly folded, with s
pretty seal tn green wax, on which
was Impressed a dove bearing a green
branch.
The other wss a large square epistle,
resplendent with the terrible arms of
bis eminence the cardinal duke.
At the sight of the little letter the
heart ef D'Artagnan bounded, for he
believed be hsd seen thst writing be
fbre, and, although he had seen that
Writing bat cnce, the memory of It re
mained st the bottom of his heart.
"Be," ssld ths letter, "on Thursday
neat st 7 o'clock in the evening on tbe
read to Cbaillot and look carefully into
the carriages that pass, but. If you
have any consideration for your own
life or that of those who love you, do

1 "Don't go," said Athos. "Between 6
and 7 o clock the road of Challlot Is
quite deserted. It Is a snare."
"But suppose we' all go," said D'Ar
tagnan. "They won't devour us all
fonr—four lackeys, horses, arms and
alir 1
"Bat If It is a woman tbat writes,"
said Aramls, "snd that woman desires
not to be seen remember you compro
mise her, D'Artagnan, which is not be
having like a gentleman."
"Tou will remain in tbe background,
and I will advance alone."
"Let us maks the trip," said Aramls.
"As you please," said Atbos.
"Gentlemen," said D'Artagnan, 'lt is
: half past 4, snd we have scarcely time
to be on the road of Challlot by 0."
"But this second letter," said Atbos
"Ton forget thst"
"Well," said D'Artagnan, "let us see
gentlemen, wbat ars bis eminence'

and resd:

"Whew!" said Atbos. "Here's a fen
dezvons much more serious than the
etber."
"I will go to the second after attend
ing the first" said D'Artagnan. "One
Is for 7 otlock and tbe other for 8;
there will be time for both."
"Tes. But tbe Bastille?" ssld Ara
i- ads.
"Bsh! Ton will get me ent If they
ynt me there," said D'Artagnan.
"To be ears we will," replied Aramls
and Port bos, with admirable prompt
ness and dedalon, aa If that were the
x simplest thing in ths world
"Let ns do better then fhat," ssld

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1912.
Passing. D'Artagnan, Keeping at some
distance from his friends, darted a
scrutinizing, glunee Into every carriage
thut appeared, but saw no face with
which he was acquainted.
At length, after wultlng a quarter of
an hour and Just as twilight waa be
ginning to tblcken, a carriage appear
ed coming nt a quick pace on tbe rond
of Sevres. A presentiment Instantly
told D'Artagnan tbat this carriage con
tained tbe iterson who bad appointed
tbe rendezvous; the young man was
hlmself„ astonished to find his heart
beat so violently. Almost Instantly a
female bead was put ont at the win
dow, with two fingers placed upon her
mouth, either to enjoin silence or to
send him a kiss. D'Artagnan uttered
a slight cry of Joy. This woman, or,
rather, this apparition, for the car
riage passed with the rapidity oi s
vision, was Mme. Bonacleux.
By an involuntary movement and la
spite of Ihe InjunctloD given D'Arta
gnan put his horse Into a gallop and In
a few strides overtook the carriage,
but tbe window was close shut; tbe
vision bad disappeared.
D'Artagnan theu remembered the In
junction, "If you value your own life
or that of those viio love you remain
motionless and as If you had 'Seen
nothing."
He stopped, therefore, trembling, not
for himself, but for the poor woman
who bad evidently exposed herself to
great danger by appointing this ren
destous.
The carriage pursued its way, still
going at a great pace, till It dashed
Into Paris and disappeared.
They reached the Bue St Honore,
and in the Place du Palais Cardinal
they found the twelve convoked mus
keteers walking about In expectation
of their comrades. There ouly tbey
made tbem acquainted with tbe mat
ter In question.
Athos divided them Into three
groups, assumed the command of one,
gave the second t A Aramls and the
third to Porthos, an. then esch group
Went and took s position for wstcblng
near an entrance. '4
D"Artagnan on his part entered st
tbe front gate.
"If De Wardes has related ail our
affair to the cardinal, which Ii not to
be doubted, snd If bs has recognised
me, which Is probable, I msy consider
myself almost ss u condemned man,"
said be to himself, shaking his besd.
"But why has he waited till now?
Humph! - That's all plain enough.
Milady has lalf) Her complaint against
me with that hypocritical grief which
renders her so Interesting, and this
last offense has made the cup over
flow. D'Artagnan, my friend, you are
brave, you are prudent, you have ex
cellent qualities, but tbe women will
ruin yon."
In this waiting room were five or
■ix of tbe cardinal's guards, who rec
ognised D'Artagnan, and, knowing
that It was he who had wounded Jus
sac, tbey looked upon him with a
smile of singular meaning. This smile
appeared to D'Artagnan to be of bad
augury.
The usher returned and made a sign
to D'Artagnan to follow him. It sp
peared to the young man tbat the
guards on seeing him depart whisper
ed among themselves.
He followed a corridor, crossed a
grand saloon, entered a library and
found himself frf the presence ot a
man seated at a desk and writing.
The usher Introduced him and re
tired without speaking a word. D'Ar
tat,-uan remained standing and exam
lued this man. It was the cardinal.

Ajnerican can understand. As a
business man and manufacturer,
I am especially pleased with his
positive and statesman-like posi
tion on tbe paramount issue of
tariff reform, and his demand
for an Immediate downward re
vision. In sincerity, precise
statement and comprehensive
grasp of great principles and
their application of the funda
mental needs of the country, the
speech Is Jeltersonlan to the
core. It contains no appeal to
passion and excites no prejudice.
Governor Wilson has presented
to his party arid'to the nation,
clear conception of the truth
that the real struggle in tbe
pending campaign is between
the concentrated powers of priv
liege and the aspiration of ths
American people to realize, In
thitlr government, and tbelr eco
nomic, Industrial and social re
lations, the full measures of the
principles of freedom, justice
and progress upon which the re
public was founded. To all the
Issues and every national need,
Qovsrnor Wilson applies ths
'Rule of right and common ad
vantage.' The reforms be advo
cates are far reaching, but they
are necessary, sound and prac
tical. The speech will awaken
and stir the national conscience
and lead to a triumph that will
restore to the people the control
of their government and inaugu
rate a new and happier epoch lu
the life and development of the
republic."
HOKE SMITH, SENATOR
FROM GEORGIA:
"I am delighted with Governor
Wilson's speech' of acceptance
It Is a superb statement of tbe
present purpose of tbe Agsocra
cy and points the way for Jus
tice to all through real progress
by law, under the Constitution.
With his election assured. It
should give conddenco to honest
business and new courage to
those who need a square deal."
JOHN F. FITZGERALD, MAY-
OR OF BOSTON:
"Governor Wilson's accept
ance Is characteristic of the
man. He lays bis soul bare to
the people and asks them to
join with him, Irrespective of
party, In righting present
wrongs without undue clamor or
injury to legitimate interests,
tie lays cmpbasla oa "construc
tive thinking and I believe thla
epitomises one of the natlon'a
greatest needs at tbe present
time. It wUI be President Wil
