There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than q j other diseases
put together, and 4 II the last few
years was supposed be incurable.
For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounc-
e2 it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars

In saying, II apologize ~
He feels with all the world at ease
When he exclaims, Excuse me,

His manner mild and confident :;
Bids every angry mood relent,
And all your harsh resentments fit.
As you reply, "Don't mention it,"
And so his willful way he goes.
He steps upon your tenderest toes;
He elbows you and hurts your pride
AS patiently you stand aside
And let him grab the dairy lunch
Or battle through the baseball bunch
That sought the front seat at the game
Which now serenely he will claim,
He's here, he's there, be's everywhere; ;
And yet. to chime him who would
dare?
He has saving grace immense
Of mingled nerve and innocence
That lets him bully US at ease,
1t he but says, Excuse me please"

learned that this castle. standing on the
bank of the Grouse. was called the
Chateau de / Aiguille, that II had been
built and ohristened by Louis NV.
and that. by his express order. II was
adorned with turrets and with a splre
wh!ch represented the Needle. As its
date II bore. 1t must still bear, the FIG
ure 1850.
1850! One year after the publication
OF the book and the Imprisonment of
the Iron Mask. Everything was now
explained: Louis XIV. foreseeing that
the secret might be noised abroad, had
built and named that castle so as 10
offer the %auidnuncs a natural explana-
ton of the ancient mystery. The Hol-
low Needle? A castle with pointed
b~eil-turrets standing on the bank of
tho Grouse and belonging to the King.
People would at once think that they
had the key to the riddle and all In
quiries would cease.
The calculation was Just. seeing that,
more than two centuries later. NJ. Beau
trelet fell into the trap. And this. SIR.
Is what | was leading up to In writing
, this letter. If Lupin. under the name
OF Anfredi, rented from NJ. Valmeras
the Chateau de lAlguille on the bank
Of the Grouse; II, admitting the sue
cess OF the inevitable Investigations Of
NJ. Beautrelet. he lodged his two pris-
oners there. 1t was because he admit
ted the success of the inevitable re-
searches made by NJ. Beautrelet and
because. with the object OF obtaining
the peace for which he had asked, he
laid for NJ. Beautrelet precisely what
we may call the historic trap OF Louis
XIV.
And hence we come to this undenia-
BILE conclusion. that he. Lupin. by his
unaided lights. without possessing any
other facts than those which We pos

this incredible story, the crowd had
come gradually nearer and was now

Another Arsene Lupin Story

Philippe de Conmes mentions II in
connection with Louis XII. and, later,
Sully in connection with Henry w.:

King sometimes swears
Between these two, Francis l., in a
speech addressed to the notables of the
Havre, in 1920. uttered this phrase,
which has been handed down in the
diary OF a Honieur burgess: The
Kings OF France carry secrets thai
often decide the conduct of affairs and
the fate of towns"
All these quotations. all the stories
relating to the Iron Mask. the captain
of the guards and his descendant. l
have found to-day In a pamphlet writ
ten by this same descendant and pub
llshed In the mont OF June, 1915, Just
before or just after the battle OF Water
loo. in a period. therefore. of great up
heavals, IN which the revelations which
it contained were likely to pass unper-
ceived.
What Is the value Of this pamphlet?
Nothing. you will tell me. and we must
attach no credit to II. And this Is the
impression which / myself would have
carried away. II II had not occurred TO
me to open Caesars Commentaries at
the chapter given. What was my as
constituent when l came upon the
phrase quoted In the little book before
me! And It was the same thing with

the Saxon Chronicle. with the exam

all that ] have been able to verify up
to the present.
