Harrison Descended Prem Man Who
signed Kings Death Warrant.

tNLEo OH LrIMWELL'o rniENbs
Harrison Descended prem Man who
signed Kings Death Warrant.
One Of the powerful characters por-
trayed in the elder Dumas Twenty
Years After" was Colonel Harrison.
Puritan colonel whom Cromwell
loved and trusted. and who had charge
Of the execution of King Charles J.
About the time that the great histori-
cal romancer was preparing the ma
terial for the "Three Muskateers" se-
ries a lineal descendant Of that stern
old Roundhead was elected President
Of the United States He was VIII
liam Henry Harrison. ninth President
Of the United States This Puritan
colonel had three great descendants

Of the signers Of the Declaration Of

ry Harrison ninth President of The
United States, and General Benjamin
Harrison, tweniy-thifd President OF
the United States.

Of this Puritan officer suggested the
elements essential for the creation Of
great hero OF romance. 1t was a
story of bravery. firmness and moral
integrity and purity; a story that con
talned as thrilling a narration Of brav-
cry upon the field Of battle as ever
has been told by any soldier, story
that spoke Of ah absolute ineorupii-
bility and devotion to conviction, and
a firmness Of the same fibre that
showed In Cromwell himself Added
to this there was the tragic expert
ence that fell to Colonel Harrison,
who was in command of the troops
upon the day when King Charles
knelt to the block. and who himself
went unhinchlngly to death upon the
glbbet
Before the Resioraiion Harrison be-
came a maiorg general His death is
