VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 49. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1912. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. THE MECHANICS BANK STOOD THE TEST. Two National Banks Offer Assistance. Many Bring Money Back. Plenty of Money Meets Gaze of the People. I do not propose to criticise colored people. I am a colored man myself. A colored depositor in the Mechanics' Savings Bank, named J. S. Stewart, a carpenter by trade, went to the Mechanics' Savings Bank last Monday afternoon between two and three o'clock and presented a check of $10.85 for payment. Paying Teller Walter T. Davis informed him that the bank was closed. istance in my power. I am hero to say that your Bank is safe and sound. I have examined it. I wanted to certify to this fact and make arrangements for you to secure any additional money that you may need, but I find that you have attended to that." He looked into the smiling countonance of Auditor Stanford H. Parker, who came as the representa- Pretty Home Wedding at Norabough. A pretty home wedding took place Wednesday evening, October 16, 1913 at the home of the bride's parents at Norabough, near Natural Bridge, Va. Miss Mary Lizzie Moore and Mr. Walter Blake were married by Rev. S. S. Watts of Natural Bridge, Va. The wedding march was played He became indignant and went out and spread the news that the Mechanics' Savings Bank was closed. He had presented his check and they wouldn't give him his money. He came the next morning and got his money. It may be well to state that the Mechanics' Savings Bank is connected with the Clearing House Association of Richmond, which-white Association prescribes that the business hours shall be from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. MUST PAY MONEY. Director R. W. Whiting informed me of the rumor and later Mr. B. P. Vandervall came to me with the information. Wednesday night a depositor came to The PLANET office to make inquiries concerning the matter and went away satisfied when I told him the bank was solvent and that any one who had money in the Bank could draw it out. I directed Cashier Wyatt to place money on the counters and pay every one who presented valid checks. He did so. I remained at the Bank. There was no noticeable "run" until about 11:30 Wednesday morning. There was no delay in paying those who came. Cashier Wyatt was instructed to pay all depositors as long as they came and he did so. A GREAT OFFER. The "run" subsided. It may be well to state that the Mechanics' Savings Bank carries reserves for just such emergencies. I have high financial connections, but I never fully understood or appreciated the value of them until I happened to go down to the American National Bank, one of and our principal reserve agents. I laughingly told President Oliver J. Sands of the incident. In the "run" continuing? he asked. I replied in the affirmative but told him we and sufficient money for the present. It would only be necessary to look out for future contingencies. "It will be well then." he said, "to send up forty or fifty thousand dollars and you can get as much more as you need. Just tell them that the American National Bank will back you for any amount that you may need. Call Mr. Parker. I will send him up there with the money to assist in paying it out. He finally sent Auditor S. H. Parker with the instructions to inform any and all the depositors that the Mechanics' Savings Bank was safe and sound and that he would back it for any amount desired in the crisis. A WAGON LOAD OF MONEY It was not long before I had recu- rried a wagon and with the two large receptacles of money. Auditor R. M. Parker sitting on one and I on the other, we drove up to the Machinervy Savings Bank and stacked up the money to be paid out to all who denied R. These people looked with amusement at the sight and the change was not noticeable. R. was not long before the bank proper looked deserted. I was informed that Chamber W. M. Addison of the First National Bank had been there and had offered assistance. STATE BANK EXAMINER'S DECLARATION. sistance in my power. I am here to say that your Bank is safe and sound. I have examined it. I wanted to certify to this fact and make arrangements for you to secure any additional money that you may need, but I find that you have attended to that." He looked into the smiling countonance of Auditor Stafford H. Parker, who came as the representative of President Sands and his great institution. AN OFFER TO REMAIN. "I will remain here," he said, "if you so desire and assure those people of the esteem of your institution and and you in any way I can." I thanked him. He remained. Subsequently, Vice-President William C. Camp of the American National Bank came and they Assistant Cashier Durret of the same institution. The effect of this talk was electrical. The wavering depositors believed them and as they saw the pile of green-bucks and colons, they slowly filed out until no one was left and the bank bore a deserted appearance. A COLORED DEPOSITOR'S STATE MENT. I directed Cashier Wyatt to go and see Mr. Stewart and have him call to see me. He came to The PLANET office on last Thursday morning. In reply to my questions, he said, "Yes, I went to the Bank on last Monday and asked for my money. The teller there told me the bank was closed. I thought that when I put my money in the bank, I should be able to get it out when I wanted it." "Didn't you know that the Mechanics Savings Bank is affiliated with the white Clearing House Association of this city and that the hours are from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M.?" "No, I didn't." "Did you go back to the bank?" "Yes, I went there Tuesday morning at about ten o'clock and I got the money." "How much was it?" "$10.85." I talked to him further and found out the limit of his intelligence and the conversation ended. THE BND. This ended one of the most sensational runs" ever inaugurated since the failure of the ill-fated True Reformers' Savings Bank. One hundred and ten depositors drew money on Wednesday and this number decreased on Thursday until none remained. I lost a little over 5 per cent of the deposits on Wednesday and ($2,800.00) two thousand, eight hundred dollars were deposited on the same day of the greatest "run." The affair is over now and I look with complacency upon the great struggle, which I have not as yet taken seriously, being fully aware that the rules that I have adopted and the plane formulated in accordance with the latest rules of the leading white bankers of the country would bring me and those associated with me to the goal of financial success. To those who innocently did what they could to injure me and mine, I have but a feeling of pity, finding myself at times repeating the words of the Saviour, "O, ye of little faith!" —Rev. R. G. Adams of Parrville, Va. passed through the city avenue to New York, where he will preside for Dr. Twible in his rally at the Wind Church. Pretty Home Wedding at Norabough. A pretty home wedding took place Wednesday evening, October 16, 1912 at the home of the bride's parents at Norabough, near Natural Bridge, Va. Miss Mary Lizzie Moore and Mr. Walter Blake were married by Rev. S. S. Watt of Natural Bridge, Va. The wedding march was played by Miss Emma Turner. The bride wore a pink satin gown with overdress of lace and trimmed with lace and pearls and carried a large bunch of chrysanthemums. The maid of honor and matrons were, Mrs. S. R. Delaney, Miss Dan Etta Carter, Miss Rebelle Waltz, all of Natural Bridge. They were very pretty dressed in white and carried small bunches of flowers. The best man was the groom's brother, Mr. J. Blake of Indian Rock, Va. and Jacob R. D. Chandler of Natural Bridge, Va. The line of marriage was formed in the parlor and led by the mud of honor, passing out of the front door, continued around to the extreme end of Arch, passing through to entrance of porch where all formed a circle and the marriage took place in an instant. The arch was beautifully built from the branches of the forest, showing the different shades of many colors and was beautifully decorated with various kinds of fruits and Japanese lanterns, making this very attractive. After the announcement was made by the reverend a down-pour of rice showered down as if it was fine hall and was kept up during the evening. The wedding was witnessed by more than a hundred people. The reception was the next feature of the evening. A spread was served for more than a hundred covers. Some of the best that the market could afford and prepared by some of the old school. Many handsome presents were presented and some of everything that will go to make up a daunting and a well-furished home. Mr. Walter Blake is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blake formerly of Bedford Co., Va. They left Thursday on their honeymoon South. On their return will make their home at Indian Rock, Va. Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Philadelphia will preach a special sermon at the Fifth St. Baptist Church, Rev. S. C. Manuel, D. D., pastor, on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1912 at 8 P.

The trouble is said to have commenced at a dance at Summarian Hall, 6th and Duval Siz. Dr. H. R.

FLOREANCE, S. C., October 28.—Soon after I became 19 years old I left home for the purpose of visiting a city a distance of four hundred miles. It was during Summer and at 12 o'clock the first day of my journey I was at a town forty miles from home. From there I placed I had decided to travel through the country to an adjoining city situated on a railroad parallel to me over which I had just traveled once. As I had from then until 9 o'clock that evening to catch a Northbound train and my baggage being very light I decided to walk the distance. After dinner in the early afternoon I found a road. (Continued On Fifth Page.) --- Cohen Company's 55th Anniversary When I great Department Store like The Cohen Company, employing a large number of Richmond's citizens, and in itself forming an important chapter in the industrial history of the city, reaches in 55th year as one of the leading southern institutions, it is within that an event such as this present warehouse has planned for next week should be heartily endorsed by the press. The modern Department store is in a new light before the present shopping public. Today it has become a great business university as well as a place eagerly sought for by men and women for useful, and money-making careers. Away back before the war this business was founded by the father of the present members, Mr. L. Cohen in a small store at Broad St., and some of the old residents will remember the hard merchant of those days. The brain, energy, ambition and determination of the father was born into the sons, Isaac and Samuel Cohen, and one has but to walk through this great shopping emporium of to-day to see the results of their business anguage and fore-sight. Their motto has been "quick'turn over of stocks," for that insures success. Small profits and a quick selling of goods enables a merchant to go on the market with ready cash, and take advantage of remarkable values. Away back in the Summer montan this concern started its campaign for their Fifty-fifth Anniversary Sale, and some of the inarchandise was secured on the European market by their foreign buyer. Wonderful price concessions were made by manufacturers and jobbers, and it is with their aid and cooperation that the most wonderful event in the history of their commercial life will commence next Monday morning. Main Meeting to be Held. A Mass Meeting of the Courts of Calanthe and Knights of Pythias of the East End will be held at the St. Luke Hall, on Church Hill Wednesday night, November 6, 1812 at 8 o'clock P. M. Addresses on the good of the Order will be delivered by Grand Officers and other members. The public and members of the West End are cordially invited to be present. (Bort Gibson, Mies Lazar) And now comes a big stir up in the Pythian ranks between the Supreme Lodge and the Grand Lodge of the State of Virginia. Brother John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of Virginia alleges that the军官 officers have simply been doing general grafting business using in two years a great big forty-thousand dollars for "expense." Have mercy, Lord while I am writing this. Well, to make a long story short. W. Green has suspended they whole Grand Lodge of Virginia. Of course the Grand Lodge will continue to do business at the same old stand. Again there is quite a stir as an account of the continued policy of the Supreme Chancellor to keep up the defense fund when the great law suit has been settled last June by the Supreme Court of the U. S., but the Supreme Chancellor thinks we might have some more "suits" some of these days and we had better pile up a defense fund at the expense of the brotherhood. Now, for us Minnesota is concerned, we could use that defense money to advantage in paying off two or three claims and not be sending off great sums of money out of the state when we might pay off some just claim with it. I know the proclamation is handed down by the Supreme "I am." I know its just a thin time, but the principle is insecure. --- New Jersey Pythians Have Great Time. The State Grand Lodge and Grand Court of Calanthe, Knights of Pythian, of the State of New Jersey, which convened in Atlantic City in their sixth annual convention, October 14, 16, 16, closed one of the grandest sessions ever experienced in the history of Knighthood. The financial assistance made to many new members have been added to the Order, there having been several new lodges formed and new companies organized. On Tuesday morning Grand Chancellor A. F. Davidson called the lodge to order in Odd Fellow's Hall. After the lodge had been organized, lodge adjourned and at 2 P. M. assembled in St. James A. M. E. Church where an excellent program was rendered and the annual sermon was preached by Rev. H. P. Anderson, D. D., Past Grand Chancellor. The invocation was offered by Grand Prelate Sir A. H. Newton, Col. William J. Dowling introduced as Master of Ceremonies, Grand Medical Director, Dr. P. L. Hawkins, who proceeded to introduce Hon. William Riddle, Mayor of Atlantic City, who delivered the welcome address. Vice Grand Chancellor Rev. H. H. Mitchell of Elizabeth responded to the Mayor's address. Sir George H. Wall, Grand Trustee, delivered an address of welcome to which Grand Lecturer Sir E. A. Roosevelt of Orange made the response. Sir David Campbell, Past Grand Chancellor and one of the founders of the Order in this State, delivered a fraternal address and spoke of the progress of the Order. On behalf of the Grand Court, of Calanthe, Mrs. A. F. Davidson delivered a welcome address to which Mrs. Sarah Goer of Long Branch responded. On Wednesday the Grand Lodge was honored by the presence of the Grand Chancellor Sir B. G. Collier of the State of Pennsylvania with Grand Deputy Young and Lawyer Ware. These gentlemen delivered thrilling addresses on the good of the Order and that it behooves each Pythian to take a stand in behalf of his family his neighbor and the community in which he resides. Their remarks brought forth hearty applause. Grand Chancellor called upon Roy Anderson, who delivered a response to the addresses made. They also visited the Grand Court and were heartily received. Too much cannot be said of the inspiration and help that these brethren brought to the Grand Lodge. On Thursday a baptalion from the second regiment of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania was brought to Atlantic City and took part in the parade. Sir A. F. Davidson, Grand Chancellor, Grand Worthy Counsellor and Brigadier General of the State of New Jersey was highly commented and approved when he made his annual report. He has placed the Order of the Grand Jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey on the topmost round, and it would be well to note that he has been assisted by an unfaltering and untriking corps of officers and workers, among them being Past Grand Chancellors Sir J. H. Mason, Sir David Campbell, Sir H. P. Anderson; Sir C. D. Lipacom, Sir J. Thomas Bailey, Sir George Wall Sir J. W. Dowling, Sir Joseph Shackleford, Sir J. Howard Beaunford, Sir H. Mitchell, Sir A. Rooney and many others. In the Grand Court much success has been due to the efforts of Mrs. Dunne of Orange, Mrs. Emma Davis of Prisoner, Mrs. Serena Shackleford of Atlantic City. After the report of the Grand Lodge officers the entire Lodge was unanimous in their consent as to the re-election of the present, who have served so well. Thursday afternoon at 2 P. M. a Hue of parade, was formed by Adjutant General J. W. Dowling, assisted by Col. B. G. Fitzgerald under the supervision of the Grand Marshall C. H. Beale. This was a grand military display, the largest ever witnessed in the history of the Order. Fife and Drum Corps of Camden; Fife and Drum Corps of Atlantic City and the Metropolitan Band, all associated in making this one of the grandest outdoor displays, one mile and a half long. They proceeded to Inlet Park where a competitive drill was held between contesting companies. As the line of march entered the ground the battalion movements were conducted by Major Reynolds of Newark, who formed the line for grand review, headed by the Grand Chancellor of the State of Pennsylvania and Brigadier General and staff. The first prize in the competitive drill was awarded to Omega Company No. 4; second prize to Alpha Company, No. 1; third prize to Excellior Co., No. 3. The companies formed at 9 P. M. the Companies formed at Fitzgerald's Auditorium and proceeded to the Million Dollar Pier where a grand reception was held. Music was furnished by the Metropolitan Band of Atlantic City and the pier orchestra. It was a brilliant display and many expressed the idea that it was one of the finest receptions in the history of the Order. The Grand Lodge adjourned to meet in Orange, the third Tuesday in October, 1913. GEO. H. EMORY. Negro's Opera Brings $3,000. Frankfort, Ind., October 23.—John Berry, colored, who has been employed at the O. K. barber shop here is a porter, has musical talent and a short time back wrote two sacred songs, a comic opera and a short story sending them all to a Chicago company. The company accepted his offerings and sent him a check for $3,000 for the comic opera, $200 for each two sacred songs and $67 for the story. Berry was so delighted that he resigned his position, left for his home at Muncie and will devote his entire time to writing music. ____ White Boy Killed Him. Ernest Carter, colored, fifteen years old, of 2829 M Street, who was shot on the afternoon of October 16 by Raymond Cosby, sixteen-year-old son of Dr. A. B. Cosby, of 2318 Kent Broad St. died from his wounds last Monday night at 9:40 o'clock at the City Hospital. The police and Coroner Taylor were immediately notified, and a war rant charging Cosby with murder was sworn out. He will probably be rearrested this morning, being all ready under bond for unlawful shooting. Cosby was arrested a few minutes after he had shot Carter by Bicycle Policeman Kidd. He at first denied the shooting, but when pressed he admitted it, but could assign no reason for his act. He had obtained a revolver, he said from his father's room, taking it without any motive. He met Carter in the street, and after chatting with him a few minutes suddenly fired the weapon without removing it from his pocket. The bullet burned a hole through his clothing and entered the boy's groin. It was at first thought that he was not seriously hurt. Maurine Catherine, Daughter of President and Mrs. R. C. Woods, Dice.

It is interesting to see the young men of the race making good in various other cities of endeavors. Perhaps in no other city of the North can there be found a larger number of young colored men in various fields as hero in the Metropolis. It will be the aim of The PLANET Correspondent from time to time to call attention to some of the young men of the race who have come under his observation, and whose conduct and fitness justify mention in The PLANET columns. Among the young men of the race who is succeeding along his line and building up a business reputation for reliability and promptness, is N. F. Drew who is the proprietor of a well managed Employment Agency at 210 West 18th St. Mr. Drew has succeeded in building up a lucrative business, and his office has become to be known as one of the most reliable offices in the Metropolis. Mr. Drew has made a study of the organization and management of an Employment agency and has put in vogue many methods which are not seen in the average office of this kind. When asked by The PLANET Correspondent what did he attribute his success in business to, he said: to please customers and patrons." Mr. Drew tells a hard story of his rise in the business world in encountering many trying experiences in his early boyhood days. He has risen by the sheer strength of his ambition and rugged character. He was born in Margarottville, N.C. and educated in the public schools of his home. As a boy he worked as messenger around the Railway station of his home and picked up many bright ideas which he afterward found useful. When 14 years of age he went out into the world to make his way, going to Norfolk. Va., where he sourced work in Granchwell Restaurant at that time the leading colored restaurant in the city. He won the confidence of his employer and rose from dishwasher, to foreman. He landed to the North at the age of 16 without friends and money. Finding himself in Long island he applied at a newpaper office for work as office boy but was told that he was not sufficiently known to be employed. He later found work in Wetherpoon's factory where he remained for three months. Coming to New York he found work in one of the Apartment houses at salary of $1.50 a week with room and board. Not being discouraged by this mea-ger beginning he determined to save something of his small earnings, and as a result saved $1.00 per week for one year, which gave him his first business capital. He began his busi-ness career in 1887 by opening an Employment Agency at 75 Fleet St. in partnership with his brother. His brother soon resigned partnership and seeing a larger field, Mr. Draw opened in New York, 136 E. 98th St., where he remained three years, afterward going to 92nd Street and Third Avenue. He then established at 210 West 187th St., his present address where he has been for the last six years. Mr. Draw makes a specialty of Southern help and looks out for the interest of young men and women who come to New York in search of work. He supplies help to some of the leading families and hotels of the city. He told The PLANET Correspondent that his yearly output as to help has been 1000 jobs a year. Mr. Draw takes a personal inter-act in every applicant whom he pends out for work, instructing them how to approach their employer and other things that are helpful. This deep interest in his business has year for Mr. Draw a large book of friends. He stands well in the community, and has been active in all civic movements for much uphead. He has given much ready to realise and recently invested a publishing field called the "White Am Friend" which has been found especially valuable. --- The Three Guardsmen SYNOPSIS Toung D'Artagnan, going to Paris to seek work under De Treville, captain of the king's guards, has a quarrel in Meung with a man accompanied by milady.

N the morrow nothing was talked of in Paris but, the ball which the aldermen of the city were to gird to the king and queen. At midnight great cries and loud acclamations were heard in the city. It was the king, who was passing through the streets which led from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville and which were all illuminated with colored lamps. Immediately the aldermen, clothed in their cloth robes and preceded by six sergeants, holding each a dambeau in his hand, went to attend upon the king, whom they met on the steps, where the provost of the merchants offered him the compulsion of welcome. Everybody observed that the king looked dull and preoccupied. A closet had been prepared for the king with a masquerade habit. The name had been done with respect to the green. Before entering his closet the king deserved to be informed the moment the cardinal arrived. Half an hour after the entrance of the king fresh acclamations were heard. These announced the arrival of the queen. She entered the great hall, and it was remarked that, like the king, she looked dull and, moreover, fatigued. At the moment she entered the curtain of a small gallery, which to that time had been closed, was drawn, and the pale face of the cardinal appeared, he being dressed as a Spanish cavalier. His eyes were upon those of the queen and a couple of terrible fury over his lips. The queen did not wear her diamond studs. All at once the king appeared at one of the dams of the half. The cardinal was spitting to him in a low voice, and the other was very pale. thought prayer to wear your diamond studs when you know it would have given me so much gratification." "Hiru," replied the queen with a falling voice, "because, in the midst of such a crowd as this I feared some accident might happen to them. I can send for them to the Louvre, where they are, and thus your majesty's wishes will be compiled with." "Do so, madame-do so, and that at the quickest; for within an hour the ballet will commence." The queen bent in token of submission and followed the ladies who were to conduct her to her closet. On his part the king returned to his. The king came out first from his closet. He was in a hunting costume of the most elegant description. The cardinals near to the king and placed in his hand a small casket. The king opened it and found in it two diamonds. "What does this mean?" demanded he of the cardinal. "Nothing," replied the latter; "only, if the queen has the studs, of which I very much doubt, count them, sire, and if you only find ten, ask her majesty who can have stolen from her the two studs that are here." The king looked at the cardinal as if to interrogate him, but he had not time to address any question to him. A cry of admiration burst from every mouth. The queen was, without doubt, the most beautiful woman in France. It is true that the habit of a huntswoman became her admirably. She wore a beaver hat with blue feathers, a surtout of gray-pearl velvet, fastened with diamond clamps, and a skirt of blue satin, embroidered with silver. On her left shoulder sparkled the diamond studs upon a bow of the same color as the plumes and the skirt. The king trembled with joy and the cardinal with vexation. Nevertheless, distant as they were from the queen, they could not count the studs. The queen had them. The only question was, had she ten or twelve? At that moment the violins sounded the signal for the ballet. The king advanced toward Madame is President of the ball, with whom he was to dance, and his highness Monleau the Count of Solsons, a relative of the king, with the queen. They took their places, and the ballet began. The king figured opposite the queen, and every time that he passed by her he devoured with his eyes those studs, of which he could not ascertain the number. A cold sweat covered the brow of the cardinal. The ballet lasted an hour. It ended amid the applause of the whole ensemble, and every one reconducted his lady to, her place. But the king took advantage of the privilege he had of leaving his lady to advance eagerly toward the queen. "I thank you, madame," said he, "for the deference you have shown to my wishes, but I think you want two of the studs, and I bring them back to you." "How, sir!" cried the young queen, affecting surprise. "You are giving me then two more. But then I shall have fourteen." In fact, the king counted them, and the twelve studs were all on her majesty's shoulder. The king called the cardinal to him. "What does this mean, M. the Cardinal?" asked the king in a severe tone. "This means, sir," replied the cardinal, "that I was desirous of presenting her majesty with these two studs and that, not daring to offer them myself, I adopted this means of inducing her to accept them." "And I am the more grateful to your eminence," replied Anno of Austria, with a smile that proved she was not the dupe of this ingenious piece of gallantry, "from being certain these two studs have cost you as dearly as all the others cost his majesty." Then after bowing to the king and the cardinal the queen resumed her way to the chamber in which she had dressed and where she was to take off her ball costume. D'Artagnan, to whom Anne of Australia owed the extraordinary triumph she had obtained over the cardinal, was lost in the crowd gathered at one of the doors. He looked on at this scene, comprehensible only to four persons, the king, the queen, his eminence and himself. The queen had just regained her chamber, and D'Artagnan was about to retire when he felt his shoulder lightly touched. He turned round and saw a young woman who made him a sign to follow her. The face of this young woman was covered with a black velvet mask, but he recognized Mme. Bonnetexx. On the evening before they had acarcely seen each other for a moment at the apartment of the Swiss Germain, whither D'Artagnan had sent for her. The haste which the young woman was in to convey to her mistress the excellent news of the happy return of her messenger prevented the two from exchanging more than a few words. D'Artagnan therefore followed Mme. Bonacieux, moved by a double sentiment, love and curiosity. She opened the door of a closet, which was entirely dark, and led D'Artagnan into it. There she made a sign of silence, and, opening a second door concealed by a tapestry and which opening spread at once a brilliant light, she disappeared. D'Artagnan remained for a moment motionless, asking himself where he could be, but soon a ray of light which penetrated through the chamber, together with the warm and perfumed air which reached him from the same aperture, the conversation of two or three ladies in a language at once respectful and elegant and the word "majesty" or two three times repeated indicated clearly that he was in a cloet attached to the queen's chamber. The queen appeared to be cheerful and happy, which seemed to astonish the persons who surrounded her and who were accustomed to see her almost always and full of care. D'Artagnan heard her approach and withdraw from the partially open door, and twice or three times he even saw the shadow of a person interrupt the table. Pablo Picasso D'Artagnan Seized the Hand and Touched It Respectfully With His Lips. At length a hand and an arm, surprisingly beautiful in their form and whiteness, gilded through the tapestry, D'Artagnan at once comprehended that this was his recompense. He cast himself on his knees, seized the hand and touched it respectfully with his lips. Then the hand was withdrawn, leaving in his an object which he perceived to be a ring. The door imminently closed, and D'Artagnan found himself again in complete darkness. D'Artagnan waited. After the reward of his devotion that of his love was to come. The sound of voices diminished by degrees in the adjoining chamber. The company was then heard departing, then the door of D'Artagnan's closet was opened, and Mme. Bonacieux entered quickly. "You at last?" cried D'Artagnan. "Silence!" sold the young woman, placing her hand upon his lips, "Silence, and begone the same way you came!" "But where and when shall I see you again?" cried D'Artagnan. "A note which you will find at home will tell you. Regone, beogne!" D'Artagnan ran home immediately. Planchet, who had returned from London, opened the door to him. "Has any one brought a letter for me?" asked D'Artagnan eagerly. "No one has brought a letter, monseur," replied Planchet, "but there is one come of itself. When I came in, although I had the key of your apartment in my pocket, and that key had never been out of my possession, I found a letter upon the green table cover in your bedchamber. I left it where I found it, monseur. Beware, monseur, there is certainly some magic in it." While Planchet was saying this the young man had darted into his chamber and seized and opened the letter. It was from Sime. Bonacieux and was concealed in these terms: There are many thanks to be offered to you and to be transmitted to you. Be this evening about 10 o'clock at St. Cloud, in front of the pavilion built at the corner of the hotel of M. d'Estrasse. C.B. It was, the first billet he had received, it was the first rendezvous 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. "I am going out for all day perhaps. You are therefore your own master till 7 o'clock in the evening, but at 7 o'clock you must hold yourself in readiness with two horses. By this evening there will be four in the guard stables." Nodding to Planchet, D'Artagnan went out. M. Bonaclexx was standing at his door. D'Artagnan's intention was to go out without speaking to the worthy mercer, but the latter made so polite and friendly a salutation that his tenant felt obliged not only to stop, but to enter into conversation with him. Besides, how is it possible to avoid a little condescension toward a husband whose pretty wife has appointed a meeting with you that same evening at St. Cloud, oppose the pavilion of M. d'Estrées? The conversation naturally fell upon the incarceration of the poor man, M. Bonacieux expatriated at great length upon the Bastille. D'Artagnan listened to him with exemplary compliance and when he had finished said: "And Mme. Bonacieux, do you know who carried her off, for I do not forget that I owe to that unpleasant circumstance the good fortune of having made your acquaintance?" "Ah!" said Bonacieux. "They took good care not to tell me that, and my wife on her part has sworn to me by all that's sacred that she does not know. But you," continued M. Bonacieux in a tone of perfect bohemia, "what has become of you for several days past? I have not seen either you 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! About forty leagues only. We went to take M. Athos to the waters of Forges, where my friends have remained." "May I know whether you will be into height? asked Bonacieux. "Why do you ask me that question, my dear host?" "Once my arrest and the robbery that was committed in my house I am alarmed every time I hear a door opened, particularly in the night." "Well, don't be alarmed if I come home at 1, 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. Indeed, do not be alarmed M. I do not come at all." This time Bonacieux became so painful that M. Abigann could not do otherwise when necessary it and needed J. "I am alarmed every time I hear a door opened." what was the matter. "Nothing," replied Bonacieux, "nothing, only since my misfortune I have been subject to falseness." "Perhaps this evening Mme. Bonacieux will visit the conjugal domicile." "Mme. Bonacieux is not at liberty this evening," replied the husband seriously, "she is detained at the Louvre this evening by her duties." "So much the worse for you, my dear host." And the young man departed, laughing at his joke, which he thought he alone comprehended. "Ah, have your laugh out!" replied Bonacieux in a sepulchral tone. He found M. de Treville in the joy of his heart. He had thought the king and queen charming at the ball. The cardinal had been particularly ill tempered. "Now," said M. de Treville, lowering his voice and looking round to every corner of the apartment to see if they were khngn; "now let us talk about you, my young friend, for it is evident that your fortune return has something to do with the joy of the king, the triumph of the queen and the humiliation of the cardinal. You must take care of yourself." "What have I to fear," replied D'Artagnan, "as long as I shall have the good fortune to enjoy the favor of their majesty." "Everything, believe me. The cardinal is not the man to forget a mystification until he has settled his accounts with the mystifier." "Do you believe that the cardinal knows as much as 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 is not a good thing." "This diamond does not come from an enemy, monsieur," replied D'Artagnan. "It comes from the queen." "From the queen! -Oh, oh!" said M. de Treville. "Why, it is indeed a true royal jewel, which is worth 1,000 plates if it is worth a denier. By whom did the queen send you this jewel?" "She gave it to me herself." And he related to M. de Treville how the affair had passed. "Listen to me," said M. de Treville; "shall I give you a good piece of advice—a piece of friendly advice?" "You will do me honor, monsieur," said D'Artagnan. "Well, then, go to the nearest goldsmith's and sell that diamond for the highest price you can get from him. He will give you at least 800 plasteres. Plasteres have no name, young man, and that ring has a terrible one, which may betray him who wears it." "Soll this ring—a ring which comes from my sovereign—never!" said D'Artagnan. "Then at least turn the gem inside, you silly fellow, for everybody must be aware that a cadet from Gascopy does not find such gems in his mother's jewel case." "You think, then, I have something to dread?" asked D'Artagnan. "What must I do?" "Be particularly, and at all times, on your guard. The cardinal has a tenacious memory and a long arm. You may depend upon it, he will repay you by some ill turn. Take every care. The least that can be expected is that you will be arrested. Must trust everybody, your friend, your brother, your mistress—your mistress in particular. A woman is one of the cardinal's favorite means." D'Armagh thought of the appointment Mma. Bonacieux had made with him for that very evening, but M. de Treville did not inspire him with the least suspicion of his pretty hosts. "But," resumed M. de Treville, "what has become of your three companions?" "I left them on my road—Pertus at Chantilly, with a dwell on his hands; Aramie at Crevette, with a ball in his shoulder, and Athos at Amnesia, detained by an accusation of coining." wife. And now and now my nephew: "By a miracle, mourner, I must acknowledge, with a award threat in my breast and by sailing M. in Comte de Warde pn the byroad to Calais like a butterfly on a tapestry." "There again! Do Warde, nn the cardinal's man, a cousin of Bouchert's. In your place I would do cop it. I would take, without the sound of drum or trumpet, the road to Picardy and would go and make some suspicious confronting my three companions." "Tomorrow I will not eat." "Tomorrow! And why not this even." "Well, promise if you should not happen to be killed brought that you will go tomorrow." "I promise you, monarch," And D'Artagnan left M. do Trevillis appointed more than ever by his personal solicitude for his manstown. He asked successively at the abode of Athena, Perthes and Arsena. None of them had returned. Their lacks likewise were absent, and nothing had been heard of either masters or servants. As he passed the Hotel des Gardes he took a glance into the stables. Three out of the four horses were already arrived. Planchet, all astonishment, was busy grooming them and had already finished two. "Ah, monteur," said Planchet on perceiving D'Artagnan, "how glad I am to see you. Do you place confidence in our landlord, M. Bonacieux?" "I! Not the least in the world." "While you were talking with him I watched him. Monsieur, his countenance changed so two or three times!" "Indeed!" "Will more, as soon as monsieur had left and disappeared round the corner of the street M. Bonacieux took his hat, hit his door and set of at a quick pace in an opposite direction." "It seems you are right, Planchet. All this appears to be a little mysterious." "Monsieur jokes, but monsieur will see. He has not renounced his excursion for this evening!" "Quite the contrary, Planchet. At 8 o'clock be ready here at the hotel. I will come and take you." Planchet seeing there was no longer any hope of making his master renounce his project beheaded profound sigh and set to work to groom the third horse. CHAPTER XVIII The Pavilion. T 9 o'clock D'Artagnan was at the Hotel des Gardes. He found Planchet under arms. D'Artagnan crossed the quay, went out by the gate of La Conference and 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, so that when they entered the Bols de Boulogne he found himself riding quite naturally side by side with his master. D'Artagnan could not help perceiving that something more then usual was passing in the mind of his leckey and said: "Well, Master Planchet, what is the matter with us now?" "Ah, monsieur," repiled Planchet, recurring to his besetting idea, "that M. Bonacleux has something vicious in his eyebrows, his line!" "What makes you think of Bonacleux now?" "Monsieur, we think of what we can and not of what we will. 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 Treville's warning recured, "in truth this animal will end by making me afraid." And he put his horse into a trot. Planchet followed the movements of his master as if he had been his shadow and was soon 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 inns that you see yonder and be waiting for me at the door by G o'clock in the morning." D'Artagnan sprang from his horse, threw the bridle to Planchet and departed at a quick pace, folding his cloak around him. "Good Lord, how cold I am!" cried Flinchet as soon as he had lost aight of his master, and in such haste was he to warm himself, that he went straight to a house set out with all the attributes of a suburban inn and knocked at the door. In the meantime D'Artagnan, who had plunged into a hypath, continued his route and gained St. Cloud. He found himself soon in front of the pavilion named. It was situated in a very private spot. A high wall at the 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 protected from passengers by a hedge. He gained the place appolated, and as no signal had been given him by which to announce his presence, he waited. Not the least noise was to be heard. It might be imagined that he was a hundred miles from the capital. D'Artagnan leased against the bodge, after having cast a glance behind him. At the end of a few minutes the belfry of St. Cloud let fall slowly ten strokes from its soaring jaws. His eyes were fixed upon the little pavilion situated at the angle of the wall, of which all the windows were closed with shutters, except one on the first story. Through this window shone a mild light. D'Artagnan waited half an hour without the least impatience. The belfry of St. Cloud struck half-past 10. This time, without at all knowing why, D'Artagnan felt a cold shiver run through his veins. The idea called him that he had read incorrectly, and that the appointment was for 11 o'clock. But he had not been mistaken; the appointment was for 20 o'clock. He assumed his post, beginning to a touch of venomism that probably got young women had fallen asking while writing for him. At that moment he thought of waving trous, upon whom lepto the light still shone, and as one of them drowned paw the road he thought that them in benches he might succeed in getting a glimpse of the interior of the room. In an instant he was away among the benches, and he been eyes plunged through the transparent window into the interior of the pavilion. He saw a scene of fearful disorder. One of the windows was broken, the door of the chamber had been bent in and hung, split in two, on the plague, a table, which had been covered with an elegant sapper, was overturned, the decanters broken in pieces and the frutti, crushed, strewed the floor. Everything in the apartment gave evidence of a violent and desperate struggle. D'Artagnau even fancied he could recognize amand this strange disorder fragments of garments and some bloody spots staining the cloth and the curtains. He hastened down into the stent and then perceived that the ground, tripped up and hoof marked them, presented confused traces of man and horses. Besides, the wheels of a carriage, which appeared to have come from Paris, had made a deep impression in the soft earth; which did not extend beyond the pavilion, but turned again toward Paris. At length D'Arbignan, in following up his research, found near the wall a woman's torn glove. Then he became almost wild. He ran along the high road, took the path he had before taken, and, coming to the ferry, closely interrogated the boatman. About 7 o'clock in the evening, the boatman said, he had taken over a young woman enveloped in a black mantle, who appeared to be very anxious not to be seen. Everything conspired to prove to D'Arbignan that his presentments had not deceived him and that a great misfortune had happened. He again ran back to the chateau. It appeared to him that something might have happened at the pavilion in his absence and that fresh information awaited him. The lane was still empty, and the same calm soft light above from the window. D'Artagan then thought of that silent obscure cottage. The gate of the enclosure was shut, but he leaped over the hedge, and in spite of the barking of a chained-up dog, went up to the cabin and knocked. It soon appeared P. R. R. "In the name of heaven! Listen to me. Speak!" to him that he heard a alight noise within, a timid noise, which seemed itself to tremble lost it should be heard. Then D'Artagnan ceased to knock and prayed with an accent so full of anxiety and promise, terror and cajolery, that his 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 is not come; I am dying with anxiety. Has anything particular happened in the neighborhood? Speak!" The window was opened slowly, and the pale face of an old man appeared. D'Artagnan related his story simply, with the emulsion of names. The old man listened attentively. When D'Artagnan had ended he shook his head. "What do you mean?" cried D'Artagnan. "In the name of heaven, tell me, explain yourself." "Oh, monster," said the old man, "ask me nothing, for if I told you what I have seen certainly so good would befall me!" "You have then seen something?" replied D'Artagnan. "In that case, in the name of heaven," confessed he, throwing him a picture, "tell me what you have seen and I will please you the word of a gentleman that not one of your words shall escape from my heart." The old man said: "It who curiously 9 o'clock when I heard a noise in the street. I opened the gate and saw three men at a few pieces from it. In the shade was a carriage with two horse, and a man hold three middle horse." "Ah, my worthy gentleman!" asked L. "What do you want?" "How you a hooder?" said the leader. "You, monster, the one with which I gather my brisk." "Lend it to me and go into your name again there is a crown for you." I have been in the army for the last ten years and have been in the army for the last ten years. The army has always been open to gentle and kind out of it. A little bit humble, quiet, elegant and surprisingly dignified in words of a dark voice who accompanied the ladder very expressly, held suspiciously in at the window of the pavilion, came down and whispered: "It is by this." "Justonically he who had spoken to me approached the door of the pavilion, opened it with a key he had in his hand, closed the door and disappeared, while at the same time the other two men ascended the ladder. The little old man remained at the back door, the coachman took care of kid heroes, the hockey hold the middle heroes. "All at once great crisis resounded by the pavilion, and a woman came to the window and opened it as if to throw herself out of it. But as soon as she perceived the other two men she fell back and they got into the chamber. Her crisis were soon stilled. Two of the men appalled, bearing the woman in their arm, and carried her to the carriage, into which the little old man got after her. The leader closed the window and came out an instant after at the door. His two companions were already on horseback. He sprang into his saddle, the hockey took his place by the coachman, the carriage went off at a quick pace, escorted by the three horsemen and all was over. From that moment I have neither seen nor heard anything." D'Artagnan, entirely overcome by this terrible story, remained motionless and mute for a minute. "Do you know anything," said he, "of the man who led this infernal expedition?" "A tall, dark man, with black mus-tache, dark eyes and looked like a gentleman." "That's the man!" cried D'Artagnan. "Again he, forever he! And the short one?" "Oh, he was not a gentleman. I'll answer for it. Besides, he did not wear a sword, and the others treated him with no consideration." "Some lackey," murmured D'Artagnan. "Poor girl, poor girl. What have they done with you?" With a heavy heart D'Artagnan again bent his way toward the ferry. Sometimes he hoped it could not be Mime. Bonacieux and that he should find her the next day at the Louvre; sometimes he feared she had had an intrigue with another who in a jealous fit had surprised her and carried her off. His mind was torn by doubt, grief and despair. "Oh, if I had my three friends here, cried he. I should have at least some hopes of finding her! But who knows what is become of them?" It was past midnight. The next thing was to find Planchet. D'Artagnan had appointed G o'clock in the morning with his lackey. It came into the young man's mind that by remaining in the neighborhood he should perhaps have some light thrown upon the mysterious affair. At the sixth cabaret, then D'Artagnan stopped, asked for a bottle of wine of the best quality and, placing himself in the darkest corner of the room, determined thus to wait till daylight. But he it remembered he was only twenty years old and at that age sleep has its rights, which it imperiously insists upon even in the saddest hearts. Toward G o'clock D'Artagnan awoke with that uncomfortable feeling which generally follows a bad night. He got up, paid for his wine and went out. The first thing he perceived through the damp gray mist was honest Planchet, who, with the two horses in hand, awaited him at the door of a little cabaret. CHAPTER XIX. Perth. INSTEAD of returning directly home, D'Artagnan alighted at the door of M. de Treville and ran quickly up the stairs. This time he was determined to relate all that had been given. He would doubtless give him good advise in the whole affair, and, besides, as M. de Treville saw the queen almost every day, he might be able to get from her majesty some intelligence of the poor young woman, whom they were doubtless making pay very dearly for her devotedness to her mistress. M. de Treville listened to the young man's account, and when D'Artagnan had finished: "But what is to be done?" said D'Artagnan. "Nothing, absolutely nothing, at present, but quitting Paris, as I told you, as soon as possible. I will see the queen. On your return I shall perhaps have some good news to tell you." Determined to put the advice of M. De Twerville in practice instantly, D'Artagnan directed his course toward the Rue des Passeurs in order to superintend the packing of his values. On approaching [the house he perceived M. Bouchaux, in morning customs, standing at his door. D'Artagnan remarked something particularly significant in the play of the wrinkled features of his countenance. Bouchaux accosted him. "Well, young man," said he, "we appear to neither mourn any nights. Seven o'clock in the morning! Poete, you seem to revive ordinary customs." "No one can reproach you for anything of the mind, Master Bouchaux," said the young man. "You are a model for regular people." Bemericka becomes an apa on drums and grinned a glistening smile. "All she will be, 'You are a joyful companion' where were you gathering with my guinea monster.' In response, she promises to be very close in the future." With an introspective smile, she continues, "I am interested in the future. I am interested in the future." many glaces full upon the shoes and mortalities of the mortar, and it might have been mild they had been dipped in the mans med heap. Then a sudden idea crossed the mind of D'Artagan. That little stout man, was Roberoux himself. The husband had presided over the carrying off of his wife. A terrible incitiation immediately took possession of D'Artagan to seize the mercy by the threat and string him; but, as we have said, he was occasionally a very prudent youth, and he restrained himself. The revolution, however, which had appeared upon his constance, was as visible, that Roberoux was terrified at it. "Ah, ah, but you are joking, my worthy man!" said D'Artagan. "It appears to me that if my boot wants a sponge your stockings and shoes stand in equal need of a brush. May you not have been paliandering a little also, Master Roberoux?" "Oh, no," said Bonacieux. "Yesterday I went to St. Mande to make some inquiries after a servant, as I cannot possibly do without one, and the roads were so bad that I brought back all this mud, which I have not yet had time to remove." The place named by Bonacieux as that which had been the object of his journey was a fresh proof in support of the suspicions D'Arragan had conceived. Bonacieux had named Mande because Mande was in an exactly opposite direction to St. Cloud. This probability afforded him his first consolation. If Bonacieux knew where his wife was the mercer might at any time by the employment of extreme means be forced to open his teeth and allow his secret to escape. "I beg your pardon, my dear M. Bocauxle, if I don't stand upon ceremony," said D'Artagnan, "but nothing makes one so thirsty as want of sleep. I am parched with thirst. Allow me to take a glass of water in your apartment. You know that is never refused among your neighbors." And without waiting for the permission of his boat, D'Artagnan went quickly into the house and cast a rapid glance at the bed. The bed had not been slept in. "Many thanks to you, Master Bonacieux," said D'Artagnan, emptying his glass. "That all is all wanted of you. I will now go into my room. I will make Panchet brush my boots, and when, he has done I will. If you like, send him to you to brush your shoes." At the top of the stair D'Artagnan found Planchet in a great bright. "What's the matter now, Planchet?" "Oh, monaleur, the visit I have received in your absence about half an hour ago while you were at M. de Treville's." "Who has been here? Come, speak?" "M. de Carvois, the captain of his eminence's guards." "Did he come to arrest me?" "I have no doubt he did, monster, for all his gracious manner. He came, he said, on the part of his eminence, who wished you well and to beg you to follow him to the Palais Cardinal." "What did you answer him?" "That the thing was impossible, seeing that you were not at home, as he might perceive." "Well, what did he say then?" "That you must not fail to call upon him in the course of the day, and then he added in a low voice. Tell your master that his eminence is very well disposed toward him and that his fortune perhaps depends upon this interview." "The anare is not very skillfully set for the cardinal," replied the young man, smiling. "Oh, yes; I saw the anare, and I answered you would be quite in despair on your return." "Where is he gone to? asked M. de Carols. "To Troye, in Champagne," I answered. "And when did he set out? "Yesterday evening." "Planchet, my friend, interrupted D'Artagnan, you are really a jewel of a man. In a quarter of an hour we will set off." "Where are we going, may I ask, without being too curious?" "In the opposite direction to that which you said I was gone. So, then, pack up our necessaries, Planchet, and let us be off. On my part, I will go out with my hands in my pockets that nothing may be suspected. You can join me at the Hotel des Gardes." D'Artagnan directed his steps toward the residences of his three friends. No news had been received of them, only a letter, all perfumed, and of an elegant writing in small characters, was come for Aramus. D'Artagnan took charge of it. Two minutes afterward Planchet joined him at the staircase of the Hotel des Gardes. D'Artagnan, in order that there might be no time left, had nodded his horse himself. "That's well," said he to Flancher, when the letter added the portmanteau to the equipment; "now middle the other three horses." "Do you think, then, monastery, that we shall travel faster with two horse spaces?" said Flancher, with his ominous air. "No, monastery joker," replied D'Afagnan, "but with our four horses we may bring back our three friends. If we should have the good fortune to find them living." Our two travelers arrived at Chantilly without any ground and stashed at the hotel of the Grand St. Nathan, the name they had shipped at on their journey. The book had sitting a large book delivered by a master who Here I have advanced remembrance to the day. Now, as they had already remembered given hagmen, D'Artagnain should it time to stop, whether Forth was or were not in the hotel, then perhaps it would not be precluded to ask or once what had become of the mistress. D'Artagnain gave the hagmen to the care of his inclyc, ordered a small room destined to receive such as wished to be alone and desired the host to bring him a bottle of his but wine and as good a breakfast as possible. D'Artagnain was served with馁馁色诚. The host desired to wait upon him, himself, which D'Artagnain percived, ordered two glasses to be brought and commenced the following conversation: "My good host, let us drink to the prosperity of your establishment." "Your lordship does me much honor," said the host, "and I thank you sincerely for your kind wish. I was thinking that it was not the first time I had had the honor of making monster." "I was here only ten or twelve days ago. I was conducting some friends, three or four musketeers, of whom by the by, bad in dispute with a stranger, an unknown, a man who sought a quarrel with him for I don't know what." "Ah, exactly so," said the host. "I remember it perfectly. Is it not M. Portheus, that your lordship means?" "Yes; that is my companion's name. I hope nothing has happened to him! He promised to rejoin us, and we have seen nothing of him." "He has done us the honor to remain here. We are even a little uneasy on account of certain expenses he has been at." "Well, but whatever expenses he may have incurred I am sure he is in a condition to pay them." "Ah, monsieur, you infuse belm into my mind. We have been warned." "Well, can I see Portheus?" "Certainly, monsieur. Take the stairs on your right; go up the first flight and knock at No. I. Only warn him that it is you." "Warn him! Why should I do that?" "M. Porthoe[may] imagine you belong to the house, and in a fit of passion might run his sword through you or blow out your brains." "What have you done to him, then?" "We asked him for money." "Ah, I can understand that. It is a demand that Porthoe takes very ill when he is not in funds; but I know he ought to be at present." "We thought so, too, monsieur, as our concern is carried on very regularly, and we make out bills every week, at the end of eight days we presented our account, but at the first word on the subject he sent us to all the devilia. It is true he had been playing the day before with some gentleman who was traveling this way, to whom he proposed a game of lamaquest." "That's it, then; and the foolish fellow has lost all he had." "Even to his horse, monsieur." "That's Porthos all over." murnured D'Artegan. "Then," continued the host. "I replied that I hoped he would have at least the kindness to grant the favor of his custom to my brother host of the Alge d'Or, but M. Porthos replied that my hotel being the best, he should remain where he was. "I confined myself then to begging him to give up his chamber, which is the handsomest in the hotel, and to be satisfied with a pretty little closet on the third floor. But to this M. Porthos replied, that he every moment expected his mistress, who was one of the greatest ladies of the court. Nevertheless, I thought proper to insist, but he took one of his pistols, laid it on his table day and night and said that at the first word that should be spoken to him about removing he would blow out my brains. So from that time, monsieur, nobody enters his chamber but his servant." "What! Mousqueton is here, then?" "Oh, yes, monsieur! Unfortunately he is more nimble than his master and sets us all at defiance. He takes all he wants without asking." "Porthos will pay you." "Hum!" said the host in a doubling tone. "Why, it is not to be imagined that the favorite of a great lady will be allowed to be inconvenienced for such a paltry sum as he owes you." "I ifd arrest my, what I believe on that head, or, rather, what I know" "How did you become acquainted with her?" "Oh, monsieur, if I could believe I might trust in your discretion?" "Speak. By the word of a gentleman you shall have no cause to repent of your confidence." "Instead of putting a certain letter in the post, which is never safe, I took advantage of one of my lads being going to Paris, and I ordered him to convey the letter to this duchess himself. This was fulfilling the intentions of M. Perthos, who had desired us to be so careful of this letter, was it not?" "Nearly吧." "Well, monsieur, do you know who this pretended duchess is?" "I don't know her." "Why, she is the wife of a lawyer of the Chetatiel, monster, named Mina Coquenard; who, although she is at least fifty, still gives herself jealous alms. She saw into a great pension on receiving the letter, saying that M. Portchies was a fiddle, important man and that she was sure it was an account of some woman he had received this wound." "What: has he been wounded, then?" "Yes, but he has surrendered me so strictly to say so?" "And why so?" "Found, monster, only because he had hoped that he would perform the stranger with whom you left him in dispute where he planned, whereas the stranger, for the contrary, gently brought him on his back. The sufferer was not long, I secure you. They planned themselves in guard, the stranger made a joint and a long and that so rapidly that when M. Do Portchies came to the parade he had plummeted three feet of stout in his heels. When the stranger asked his name and hearing that it was Portman and not M. D'Artagnan, he gestured him to you, brought him back to the hotel, mounted his horse, and disappeared. I have not seen him since. "Well, well," said D'Artagnan, "Porthes will pay you with the money of the Duchess Coqenard." "Oh, monsieur!" "She positively answered that she was tired of the exigencies and indelicities of M. Porthes and that she would not send him a doctor." "And did you convey this answer to your guest?" "We took good care not to do that. He would have found out how we had delivered the letter." "So that he is still in expectation of his money?" "Oh, yes, monsieur! Yesterday he wrote again, but it was his servant who this time put his letter in the post." "Do you say the woman is old and only?" "Fifty at least, monster, and not at all handsome, according to Pathand's account." "In that case you may be quite at ease. She will soon be softened. Besides, Porthos cannot owe you much." "How, not much! Twenty good pistoles already, without reckoning the doctor." "Never mind. If his mistress abandons him he will find friends. I will P. B. M. "You are right welcome, my dear fal- lowl" answer for it. So, my dear host, be not uneasy, and continue to take all the care of him that his situation requires." "Monsieur has promised me not to open his mouth about the woman and not to say a word of the wound." "That's a thing agreed upon. You have my word." "Oh, he would kill me! I am sure he would!" "Don't be afraid. He is not so bad as he appears to be." Saying these words, D'Artagnan went upstairs. At the top of the stairs upon the most conspicuous door of the corridor was traced in black ink a gigantic "No. 1. D'Artagnan knocked and, upon being desired to come in, entered the chamber. Porthous was in bed and was playing a game at lansquenet with Monquenet to keep his hand in, while a split loaded with partridges was turning be before the fire, and at each side of a large chimney piece, over two chafing dishes, were boiling two stewpans, from which exhaled an odor very grateful to the olfactory nerves. In addition to this he perceived that the top of a wardrobe and the marble of a commode, were covered with empty bottles. At the sight of his friend Porthos uttered a loud cry of joy, and Mouqueton, rising respectfully, yelled his place to him and went to give an eye to the two stewpans, of which he appeared to have, the particular inspection. "Ah, is that you?" said Porthos to D'Artagnan. "You are right welcome, my dear fellow." I hope you will excuse my not coming to meet you. But" added he, looking at D'Artagnan with a certain degree of uneasiness, "you know what happened to me?" "Not exactly." "Why, on making a thrust at my adversary, whom I had already hit three times and with whom I meant to finish by a fourth. I put my foot on a stone, slipped and strained my knee. I shall be about again in a few days." "Why did you not have yourself conveyed to Paris? Living here must be cruelly useless." "That was my intention, but, my dear friend, I have one thing to confess to you. As I had the 75 pistolis in my pocket which you had distributed to me, in order to amuse myself I invited a gentleman who was traveling this way to walk up and proposed a cast of dire to him. He accepted my challenge, and my 75 pistolis quickly passed from my pocket to his without reckoning my horse, which he won into the barrain. "Have you not your duchess, who cannot fall to come to your assistance." "Well, you see, my dear D'Artagan, replied Porthos, "with the most careful air in the world I wrote to her to send me fifty lords or so, of which I stood absolutely in need on account of my accident. She must be at her country seat, for she has not answered me." "Fooled." "No; as I yesterday addressed another letter to her will more pressing than the first, but you are come, my dear fellow, but an speak of you. I, concern I begin to be very money on your account."

"Not a ball," said Porthess. "This miserable strain confines me to my bed, but Montqueyon forages and brings in provisions." D'Artagnan then related how Aramis, being wounded, was obliged to stop at Crevaceour, how he had left Athos behind at Amiens with four men who accused him of being a coloner, and how he, D'Artagnan, had been forced to run the Count de Wardes through the body in order to reach England. But there the confidence of D'Artagnan stopped; he only added that on his return from Great Britain he had brought back four magnificent horses, one for himself and one for each of his companions. Then he informed Porthess that the one which was intended for him was already installed in the stable of the hotel. At this moment Flancher entered to inform his master that the horses were sufficiently refreshed and that it would be possible to sleep at Carmen. Porthos said that, according to all probability, his sprain would not permit him to depart yet awake. Besides, it was necessary he should stay at Chantilly, to wait for the answer from his duchess. D'Artagnan wished that that answer might be prompt and favorable, and, after having again recommended Porthos to the care of Monquebon and paid his expenses at the hotel, he resumed his route with Planchet, who was already relieved of one of his led horses. {TO BE CONTINUED.} Here it is, the Wattles Plant.

Household Hints The way to launder a round centerpiece and keep it flat: . . . Wash it with white soap in the usual way, wring out the centerpiece, have a piece of white muslin or a sheet spread upon the carpet, then take the centerpiece and spread it on the sheet or muslin, which should be larger than the centerpiece, pin the centerpiece all around the edges, and see that it is smooth. After it is planned out put a cover over it to keep it *clean* while it is drying. This is an easier and better way than froning. Be sure that the centerpiece is dry before taking it up.

SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 2, 1912 THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The Roosevelt demonstration at the Madison Square Garden last Wednesday night was a marvelous demonstration of the personal magnetism and personal popularity of this great leader. His return to active service has marked the beginning of the end so far as the Progressive Party is concerned. That it will tend to increase its vote throughout the country, every conservative observer of passing events must admit. It may land him in the White House. Still such an achievement will be in the nature of a miracle. On the face, it appears that Gov. Woodrow Wilson is well enough in the lead to be the next President of the United States. There are thousands of silent democrats though, who will not support him and many of these will vote for President Taft or-Col. Theodore Roosevelt. This makes all talk as to the winner merger work. The death of Vice-President Sherman will not tend to help the regular Republican ticket. It will tend though to complicate the situation in New York State where he was a powerful factor. Can ex-President Roosevelt carry New York, his own State? He thinks that he can and Chairman Barnes of that commonwealth thinks that he can't. If he can, Gov. Wilson will have a difficult proposition in securing the necessary number of electoral votes to land him in the White House. The betting in the money centres is all in favor of Wilson and this seems to indicate that after all he will prove the winner in this presidential election. Our esteemed contemporary, The Southern Indicator of Columbia, South Carolina is engaged in endeavoring to argue away a fact. To a person of ordinary intelligence, this would be a bourgeois task at the outset. We stated that colored men are not wanted in the management of Reservoir Republican Party in South Carolina. Our authority for this statement is Col. Reservoir himself and his弟弟 was endorsed by the Reservoir Corporation itself. We can not sufficiently inform ourselves to South Carolina about an order into a discussion on to whether a colored Progressive organization was ever involved in that State and accordingly accept at its face value the statement of our contemporary that the nearest to such was a call for the organization of a Progressive Republican Party. At that time, the Progressive Republican organization was anonymous to the present Progressive Party. Our contemporay knows too just how many white men's names were attached to that call, and it may be able too to ascertain just why this was called off. The newspapers reported that it was because the organization would have been under Negro auspices and this was distasteful to the management of the Progressive Party in the nation which had undertaken the task of organizing a "illy-white" Progressive Party in Southern States with the coloured men to do voting only at the polls. This view of the matter has been confirmed and is now history. For a colored leader to attempt to defend the Julian Harris lotter of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, is for him to end all discussion of the subject in this quarter. No colored man with race pride and manhood can defend it. Our contemporary admits finally that "It may be true that colored men are not wanted in the management of the Progressive Party in South Carolina" and then asks us to tell it in which Party it is wanted in the management. They are wanted in the management of any Party which accords to them equal rights and privileges in nominating conventions and in party primaries. The Republican Party has lithered done this and from a standpoint of party action, this policy has not been reversed. Individual party leaders have established a political "dead line" in the appointment of colored men to office and for this reason we have opposed them. When The Southern Indicator would intimate that we have defended either President Taft or the Republican Party managers in any such policy, it is in error. Certainly, if it has taken the time to peruse our columns, it needs no information upon this subject as to The Planet's attitude. In the meantime, we insist that colored men are not wanted in the management of the Progressive Party in South Carolina. For our part, we shall continue to "saw wood" until a political party comes along that does want our votes or if we find hope to answer our purposes, we shall proceed to organize our own party and at least maintain our self respect in the eyes of the civilized world. AN EXPLANATION THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN. The Alexanderia, Louisiana Advance Messenger in the issue of the 43th inst., says that the New Orleans Business Journal and its management backed down from its bid for the work of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Louisiana. It alleges that the Business Journal and its management "backed down" from its original bid. This is a matter for the people of Louisiana to thresh out. Our contemporary states what' the record will show, but it does not state that the records show that the contract was 'ever legally awarded to the Business Journal. If virtually admits though that the first bid made by this concern was sufficiently low and interesting for the committee to insist upon having it signed. We deduce from the information submitted that the Business Journal was forced to compete with white printing concerns and that objections were made according to it special consideration, although it was renting offices in the Pythian Temple building. We pause to remark that a barber who rents a shop in the St. Charles Hotel would naturally expect the trade of St. Charles Hotel and of the patrons of that hostelry. If not, why should he rent a place there? Reciprocity demands that if we accord special consideration to you, then you should accord special consideration to us. We have been informed that other colored print-shops also competed, but they all were turned down for a white print-shop that was not bound to the Order by ties of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence and whose doors all necessarily swing outward for colored apprentices and never inward. This may not be due entirely to the management, but to the labor union system now in vogue throughout the country. Colored men then can only climb upward in the typographical art by the installation of print-shops of their own, which establishments must depend for support upon the trade of their own people. In this instance, the Grand-Conciliar and his committee deliberately demanded that those colored men should comply with oerous conditions and then refused to give them the priding of the Knights of Pythias in order that they might be able to pay the rental of the rooms in the Order's own public office building. To a man of this distance, this seems to be a short-eighted parody. It would have been cheaper and honey in the long run to have print this colored print shop a little more money and profit indirectly in rental thereby than to have gives the work to a white print shop that had a plenty of work from white sources and did not need the paltry trade that these short-sighted officials was foreseen upon them. It may be too that the officials of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana solicited bids from these white printers instead of passing upon the bids of the colored competitors. There is no doubt enough work that these colored print-shops could not do, because of the lack of facilities, that these white print-shops would be required to do, without passing to them all of the work as was done in this instance in the domain of Louisiana. We have examined the bids of all of the bidders and we are free to say that there is hardly a colored printing office within a radius of a thousand miles from New Orleans which could not have completed and delivered the work contracted for at a less amount than that contracted for by this white print shop at New Orleans. We do not mean to infer that these white gentlemen have made an overcharge, but colored labor is cheaper and the cost of our printers is much less than that prevailing in a print shop of the type and size to do the work. Up here white printers encourage colored people to go to colored print-shops and have the work done. We have colored people here who do not think of going elsewhere for business of this kind and description. There is another phase to this question. It is that of the sworn obligation of one Knight of Pythias to another, the exemplification and practice of the friendship of Damon and Pythias. Pythias offered his life for Damon, but the Grand Lodge officials do not seem willing to offer even their business under similar conditions although such offerings may be necessary to save the financial life of the Business Journal which is now casing for want of trade. It would seem then that the high officials there have not an yet learned to practice the fundamental principles of Pythianism. They went to a white print-shop to get their business done, but they went to a colored print-shop, the Advance-Messenger to get themselves defended, and right here it may be interesting to state that on the fourth page of the Advance-Messenger appears the advertisement, "The Advance-Messenger is now prepared to do all kinds of job work. Give us a trial before going elsewhere." We are not prepared to state that the Grand Chancellor and his officers complied with this request unless these "defense articles" constitute a trial. Having been in the printing business for a decade, we know something of its "troubles, trials and tribulations." Cofored peo have not been educated up to the point of subscribing to and paying for a race journal. Large bills accumulate and it frequently requires the luckless proprietor to do $2.50 worth of effort in order to do $1.50 worth of collecting. Colored men in high positions are frequently careless of those conditions and add to the miseries of the newspaper man and printer. When the Business Journal made its plea and backed it up with evidence, we were ready to accept at face value its story. But there is still another phase to this question. It comes within the scope of the Constitution and Bylaws of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A, and A. Our esteemed contemporary will find this dealt with in Article VIII, Section 20 and the language is so plain that even a blind man may understand. It requires that a member of the Order shall patronize another member of the Order in all business transactions. Still the Advance-Messenger says: As we see it, this matter is a business proposition pure and simple. It would have shown very little business sense on the part of the committee to have given out the contract to the highest bidder as the Business Journal wanted it to do. Had it done so, it would have violated the laws laid down by the Grand Lodge and would have proven itself unworthy of the trust and confidence reposed in it. We regret that the Business Journal did not get the work. The truth is it could not make good, and that's all there is to it. The Advance-Messenger states that to have given the contract to the Business Journal would have violated the laws of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, and yet we are citing the law which shows that taking the action that it did, the Grand Chancellor and Ms committee violated the laws of the Supreme Lodge. "These are the inconsistencies which are undermining the confidence of colored people in their leaders. Many of them associate the doctrine, "Don't do as I do, but do as I tell" you to do." Oh, the pity of it! For the benefit of our contemporary, we beg to advise that there are other printing offices in the United States, whose management is high in Pythia circles. C. K. Robinson, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal contracts a well-equipped printing office in St. Louis, Mo. His own Supreme Commissioner and official head There is the Advocate Printing Company of Chicago, the Major General of the Union Bank in charge and whose living in a large measure is dependent upon this printing office. His Commandant-Chief west outside of the Order and gave the work of his Grand Domain to a printery that bars colored labor. There is the Advocate Printing Company of Charleston, West Virginia, a journal which has been consistently supporting the present Grand Chancellor of Louisiana and its chief went outside of the Order to place work of the Grand Domain of Louisiana. We need not refer to the unmoth printing establishments at Nashville of the National Baptist Board and the A. M. B. Church, together with the A. M. E. Zion printing establishment at Charlotte, N. C. We might mention too, the printing plant of the Georgia Baptist at Augusta, Georgia, but all of these offices were passed by in the blind endeavor to give the work to an establishment which did not need the work and in violation of both the letter and the spirit of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias. It would seem to us then that there can be no legitimate defense of such action. Colored people of the United States will hardly condone such hypocrisy or fall to accord to the Business Journal and similar colored concerns in New Orleans, Louisiana, justice in its plea against the remarkable, unbusinesslike treatment accorded to a tenant in the largest Pythian Temple in this country today.

The cheering news has just reached the Metropolis that plans are all complete for the new $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for the colored young men of the "Quaker City." The building is to be one of the largest and most complete structures given over to the use of colored men in this country. The citizens of the city both white and colored are interested in the work and have promised co-operation. The building which is to be located at 172 Christian Street and known as the Southwest Branch will be four stories high with basement. It will occupy a space of 71 by 130 foot. The building is to be modern in every respect and will contain a large social lobs, swimming pool, class rooms, a permittory apartment for young men. Plans of the new building were drawn up by Horace Trumbauer, a well known architect of Philadelphia, Horace Porter who is the Secretary of the Association has worked hard for the success of the movement. The present building on Christian street is entirely inadequate. This news of a new building for Philadelphia will be received in Y. M. Creswell the country with glad heart. A. Y. M. C. A. of West 53rd street, Secretary Bell expressed pleasure at Philadelphia's prospects for a new building. E. V. Williams of the Membership Committee was also loud in his praise for movement. Tragic Death of a Well Known Lawyer. What has come as a shock to the Metropolis especially in legal circles has been the sudden death of Edmund B. Brown, for many years a well known lawyer of this city. Mr. Brown while walking in 51st street last week suddenly dropped dead in the street. While it was known that Lawyer Brown was not in the best of health lately it was not generally known that his condition was so grave. In the death of Mr. Brown the colored bar; in this city loses one of its most useful and popular members. He was one of the most prominent in the city, and during his 25 years practicing in the city he built up a reputation for honesty and squareness is all of his dealings. He was conscientious to his clients and represented their interest in a most faithful manner. He won the respect and confidence of his clients and fellow-members at the bar. He was prominent in all civic movements and was thoroughly interested in his race. He was at all times a gentleman in bearing and was careful as to his personal appearance. Mr. Brown came to New York from Virginia in 1895. While in Virginia he was active in politics, and at a time was one of the leading candidates for District Attorney of Culpeper County. The only immediate relative that survives Mr. Brown is a cousin in this city. Dr. Hughes a. Visitor. Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, one of the most prominent divines of the M. F. Church and who resides in Baltimore was a visitor to the Metropolis last week. Dr. Hughes came over at the invitation of Dr. Brooks of St. Mark's M. B. Church to assist him at one of the services of his rally which ended last Sunday. While here Rev. Hughes crowded in busy moments in the Metropolis. He preached both morning and evening at St. Mark's church last Sunday two of the strongest narmons your church addressed the Lyme in the afternoon and probed in on the young men of the Y. M. C. A.

Perhaps what will be one of the most notable political meetings of the campaign will be the one to be held at Madison Square Garden, Wednesday evening, October 30th. The meeting which will be held in the city of Progressive Park will wind up the pleadings of the cause of the great party. The central figure will be Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the Progressive Party, who despite not being fully recovered from his wound received in Milwaukee a few weeks ago still insists that he will speak. An unusual crush is expected as a large number will seek to hear Roosevelt after the attempt upon his life at Milwaukee. Social and General Notes.

I see published in your valuable paper the letter of Consul General Crum May 1, 1911 stating the death of William Richmond any trying to locate John Richmond. I wish to say that I had a brother by the name of William Richardson, born in Cumberland, Va. and reared in Columbia, Va. He went to Richmond, Va. and lived there many years. He left Richmond, Va. on the $8b of September, 1896 and I have not heard of him since. I could not tell if he was dead or alive. He had a scar on the right cheek and he had a scar under the right eye and one on the chin. All three of the scars are visible and will last him to the grave. He was about five feet ten inches and weighed about 175 or 180 pounds when I saw him last. I also send you the piece, that I clipped from the paper or The PLANET. Please find him if you can, for me. You're very truly, JOHN J. RICHARDSON, Address: Columbia, Fluvanna Co. Va. WONDERFUL RESULTS ON SHORT NOTICE I have used your Pomade. Its the best thing I ever used for making easy hair He smooth.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. (Continued From First Page.) I enjoyed the rustic scenery and all was well until I found that the distance half increased 2 1-2 times in length. At eight o'clock that evening dark, I was standing alone at the end of a foot path about fifty miles from home and two miles from the station ahead. There I stood in the forest, having no one to advise me concerning the direction. Twenty years later on my way to another city 200 miles distant I got off a train at a town 125 miles from home. It was about the first of September, cool and raining. It was then between 8 and 9 o'clock in evening and I was told that an east bound train would arrive at 2 o'clock next morning. All of the lights being "got" there I was alone in the dark with no one to drive me. Seldom a day passes without "turning up" something apparently new to the individual. The problems for to day are difficult and to solve them it requires the use of two black boards and much thinking, but there in some one in school who can master them. The swindler has spread out his ware at the crossing, but the prudent purchaser will seek advice before purchasing. The intruder, however, is one and the Christian home is as easy for him to degrade as it is for one gambler to greet another, but those of us who expect good results will watch as well as pray. The school house keys have been placed in the hands of a disreputable person, but those of us who expect our children to win (in the elbow room given him by the other fellow) will not let the teacher in the school room do all of the "advising." We must be fast at the fountain, nevertheless, when it comes to character and denancy we shall measure arms, with the "tailless." The car we ride in may not be the one "according to law." Let it be as it may we will not less push, whis key and tobacco than the other ones. As a refreshing shower is to the developing bliss, so is advice to the young and intrepid. There are different ways to "make it" in this world.

CRUMP, Secretary. ter marriage and have a seat in Heaven reserved for them. All this and more because they are willing to be advised. How many persons we meet who are unable to write a word, yet they are in business and doing well. Yes, one man attends school and is fairly educated. He then advises the fellow who has had no educational advantage "how to 'get there.'" I am prepared to give advice along certain lines of thought, but on many matters I am wholly unfit. Most people feel the need of advice, but they ask the wrong person for it. I would not ask a blacksmith how to cultivate strawberries. Neither would I ask a semantris which one of the great political parties knows less about the relation of the federal government to the state government. If I were you I would not ask a rival for an opinion as to the fitness of "mine." Some people's advice is worth about as much to the recipient as a lump of sawdust is to a hungry mule. A man advised an acquaintance to leave town so in order that he might get his job. Some times one child advises another in order that he I was advised once not to call on a certain young lady because she was his friend's choice, said my "attorney." A man sometime ago, advised me to induce all of the property owners in a certain locality to dispose of their real estate. He was smiling while speaking to me. Judas smiled also just before. Christ was betrayed. But this "brother" did not half know me. I never advise any one to their hurt for neither gold nor silver. How many have been much benefited by the "advice" or command "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." Christ advised us not to lay up treasures upon earth where thieves break through and steal, but lay up treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal.

Life Modify or Studies From Nature Popular Decorations Decorations for the nursery are now the end of the modern mother, who often products to execute her own designs in order to express her individual taste upon her little ones. What are unified "life mirrors" or studies from nature are at present popular designs for decorated and can easily be achieved. This is a single large sheet of water color paper and on this paper a variety of oil-ink white paper samples which are displayed in a frame. All paper samples are made in India using watercolour and ink. squirrel, kangaroo or any kind of bird. All these must be cut out of white paper, though a little variety is afforded by giving yellow bills and red feet to the chickens. The walls above and below this frieze of white animals may be painted in tan color and so serve as a restful background to the decorations. Trees for the motifs are also excellent and should be conventional in shape, modeled something on the lines of the Noah's ark type. Both large and small are cut out of white paper, and colored respectively dark green and yellow and crimson. Two green trees, arranged side by side, may be alternated by red and yellow and thus give a charming effect. The "bird" motif in the brilliant colors of every gay hued parrot, robin redbreast, bird of paradise, etc., is also highly effective on a background of gray cartridge paper and invariably phases a nursery of children. As to_the Eyes. You have no doubt many times been troubled with a cinder or some foreign substance lodging. In the eye, and no doubt, like many others, you have rubbed and fretted the poor eye without dislodging the offending particle until the eye is red and sore and the temper well high exasperated. A very simple little treatment if employed at once will avert any irritation and nearly always remove the dirt or cinder. It is to catch the upper and lower tids together by the laeshes and pull gently out away from the eye, then roll the eye in toward the nose several times. This is an easy remedy, as it permits the fluids to flow over the eye and wash the substance, whatever it may be, out to the corner of the eye, where it is easily ejected, and thus prevents it from becoming lodged in the upper eyelid, where it is most often found when not quickly removed. If the particle has already lodged and cannot be ejected in the manner just described, then the best course is to turn the upper eyelid back and after locating the snook of dirt wipe off with a clean soft cloth dipped in a solution of peroxide of hydrogen. Extreme Punishment in Italy. Capital punishment was abolished in Italy in 1868. Iron and Rust Experiments made in Germany repecting the protection of iron from rust by paint prove that one coat of paint is more efficacious than two or three, in a single coat is more elastic and has less liable to scare off or crack, and thus affords more protection from atmospheric influences.

This celebration follows a well-defined line of action—extraordinary value-giving. There will be no blare of trumpets, no gaudy decorations—nothing but the truth as to each and every offering. Months have been spent by the representative heads of our various stores gathering merchandise for this event, and the world's best will be offered to our patrons—how much underprice we leave this for you to judge on Monday. During the past Summer we have labored with Importers and Manufacturers, here and abroad; and it is with their aid and big concessions that we have prepared The Greatest Retailing Event in the History of Progressive Richmond. This Sale is intended as a "Business-Builder," not a profit-making nor a profit-sharing occasion. The one aim is to have EACH ITEM so Remarkable, so Over-powering in its enormous value-giving, that it will reward the faithful and bring thousands of new customers. If we convince the skeptical (and we will), as well as those who know of the exactness of every statement in our series of advertisements, we will more than double any day's sales during the past fifty-five years of our existence. Have We Made You Realize What This "Anniversary Sale" Means to You? It will test the store capacity in all directions to the utmost, and bring into prominence our stores' offer, adding to our regular clientage thousands of people not yet familiar with the NEW ORDER OF THINGS. --- ```markdown ``` The Cohen Fifth Ave WAY IS AN EVENT IN REAL of us.

Daily passed here enroute to Newport News, where he is expected to conduct revival services. Mrs. T. B. Dally and daughter are visiting friends here. Charged with using vile language and threatening Miss Geneva Marshall three of the Misses Barnes paid $1.50 each and cost of Court Monday. Justice M. A. Tucker heard the case. Some one broke into the house of H. C. Lacy Thursday, broke in his trunk and took a pocket book containing twenty-five dollars in currency, four $-dollar bills and one $-dollar note and three $-dollar notes, also some valuable papers. The house was opened by a hand-prize. The trunk is old fashioned, the square surface which contained the lock and staple was held by four screws. Half of a knife blade found near the trunk in the thought was broken in an effort to remove the lock. A large jar of silver money in the corner of the trunk over which some clothes were spread was not touched. Mr. Lacy was out at his work and his daughter who housekeeps for him was gone visiting. The thieves evidently did not take much time with the trunk, leaving as good as all the money in it, the $25.00 being a mere trinke, what was left.
