When they were within ten paces of him D'Artagnan sprang up close to them.

But one morning at the commence ment of the month of November ev erything waa explained to him by thla letter, dated from Vlllerol: M. d*Artaanan—Mil.

But I accomplish the order they have given me by forward lug to you a doaen bottles of my Anjou 'Wine, with which they are much pleased. Tour very humble and obedient servant, OODEAU, Keesman of the Musketeers. D'Artagnan went among the guards with whom he had formed greater in timacy than with the others to invite them to enjoy the wine with him. . One of the two guards was engaged that evening and another the next, so that th* meeting was fixed for the day after that. D'Artagnan aent Flanchet to assist In preparing everything for the euter tainment. 1 'J- 1 Jl ' Planchet called In the assistance of the lackey of one of his master's guests, named Fourreau, and Brlse mont, the falae so Idler who bad en deavored to kill D'Artagnan and who, belonging to no corps, had entered Into th* service of D'Artagnan, or, ratber, of Planchet, ainc« D'Artagnun had saved his life. The hour of the banquet being come, "th* two guests arrived, took their places, and the dishes were arranged -opon the table.

And he expired amid borrlbla tortures. "Frightful! Frightful!" murmured Athos, while Torthos broke the bot tles, and Aramls gave orders, a little too late, that a confessor ahould ba sent for. "Oh, my friends," said D'Artagnan, "you come once more to save my life, not only mine, but thgt of these gen tlemen. Gentlemen," continued he, addressing the guards, "I request you will bfe silent with regard to this ad venture. Great personages may have had a hand In what you havo aeen, and If talked übout the evil would only recoil upon us. Accept my ex cuses, and put off the party till an other day, I beg of. you." The two guards courteously accepted D'Artagnan's excuses and, perceiving that the four frleuds desired to be alone, retired. Tbe host gave tbem another cham ber and served tbem with fresh eggs and some water, wblch Athoa went himself to draw at the fountain. In a few words I'orthos and Aramla were informed of past events. "Do you really believe it is abel" aald Athoa. „ "I am sure of it." "Nevertheless I confess I still doubt." "But the fleur-de-lls on her shoul der?" "She Is some Englishwoman who has committed a crime in France and baa been branded In consequence." "Atboa, she is your wife, I tall you," repeated D'Artagnan; "only reflect how much your description agreea with mine." 1 "It ia impossible to remain thus, with ' a sword hanging eternally over one's head," aald Athoa. "We must emanci pate ourselves from this position. Yon must try to havo an Interview with . her and enter luto an explanation with bar. Say to her: or war, my I word of honor of a gentleman aover ' to say anything of you, never to do anything against you—on your side s solemn oath to remain neuter with re spect to me.

" "I like the means well enough," said D'Artagnan, "bnt afie"— "What she?" asked Atbos. "Constance." "Mme. Bonacleux! Ah, that's truer' said Athos. "My poor friend, I had forgotten you were in love." "Well, but," sold Aramls, "have yon not learned by the letter you found on tbe assassin that she la In a convent? She may be very comfortable In a convent." "Weil, as soon as tbe siege is over well carry her off from that convent," said Porthoa. "But we must first learn what con vent she is In." ~ "That's true," said Forthos. "But I think I bave it," said Atboa. "Don't you say, D'Artagnan, that it la the queon who has made choice of the eon vent for her?" "I believe so, at least."- "Well," said Aramls, "I take upon asyself to obtain Intelligence of her." "Ton, AramlA!" cried the three friends. "How?"

Annpuncement has been made by Postmaster General Hitch cock that the Postoffice Depnrt ment would be in readiness on January 1,1913, to put into gen eral operation the recently au thorized parcels post system. The postal express business, which must be organized within the next four months, will ex tend over more than a million miles of rural delivery and star routes and will cover, in its vari ous ramißcations, all systems of transportation of parcels now utilized by private express com panies. . The details of the parcels post system will be worked ont by a series of committees composed of officers and experts of the de partment. The general execu tive committee consists of Chief Inspector Robert Sharp; Su perintendent John C. Koons, of the division of salaries and al lowances; Chief Clerk A. A. Fisher, of the second Assistant Postmaster General's bureau, and Superintendent Geo. L. Wood, of the division of rural mails. "First of all," said Mr. Hitch cock, "must be prepared a clas sification of the articles that can be accepted for transportation by paicels post. The law admits to the mails practically all kinds of merchandise that can be trans ported safely, including products of the farm and garden as well as factory products, providing such articles do not weigh more than 11 pounds nor exceed 72 inches in combined length and E'rth. The mode of packing will : prescribed carefully. The present equipment of the mail service is not adapted to the car riage of such merchandise and, therefore, new equipment must be provided. It is likely we shall employ, extensively, hampers, similar to those used in foreign countries, in handling parcels post mail. The style, size and material of such hampers must be determined and advertise ments issued for their purchase. "The law provides that post age on all parcels must be pre paid by affixing distinctive stamps. This will necessitate the designing and printing of at least a dozen denominations of special stamps, ranging in value from One cent to one dollar.' Pro vision for the collection on de livery of the price of a parcel must be made. Regulations gov erning this phase of the system arc already beipg prepured. "The law provides indemnifi cation for lost or damaged ar ticles and since many of the articles to be carried will be fra gile or perishable the question of indemnity is one for careful recognition. "The system of distance £bnes requires tbe employment by post masters of a distinctive postal map on which tbe zones are rep resented. Buch a map already has been prepared by the depart ment and arrangements are be ing made for the printing of about 150,000 in order, that each postoffice abd postal sta tion in tbe United States may be supplied with two copies. A directory of all olfices is being compiled for use in applying the prescribed rates of postage to the distances shown on the zone maps." _ 1 It is realized by Mr. Hitchcock that it is important at the oat set to provide for sufficient ad ditional equipment and trans portation facilities to avoid any possible clogging of the usual mail channels. This involves one of tbe most serious problems now confronting"!he postal offi cials as • result of thg. taking over of so large a volume of ad ditional mail. U. A.
