 Excuse me-" said D'Artagnan, en- deavoripg to resume his course; tex cuse me. but am in hurry"
 Scarcely had he descended the first stair when a hand of iron seized him by the belt and stopped him.
 ssYou are in a hurry" said the mus keteer, as pale as . sheet. Under that pretense you run against me. You say, Excuse mer and you believe that that is snmcient? Not at all, my young man. You are not polite. It is easy to perceive that you come from dis tance."
 D'Artagnan had already strode down three or four stairs when Athos' last remark atopped him short.

Nevertheless he pressed D'Artagnan's hand and said to him: "You are an honest youth, but at the present moment can only do for you that which I.j just now offered. My hotel will be. always open to you. Hereafter, being able to ask for me at all hours and consequently to take advantage of all opportunities, you will probably obtain that which you desire. I promised you letter for the director of the academy. Are you too proud to accept it, young gentleman?'
 ''No, sir" said D'Artagnan, "and l will answer for it that this one shall not fare like the other.''
 M. de Treville, leaving his young companion In the embrasure of the window, where they had talked to- gether, seated himself at table in order to write the promised letter of recommendation. While he was doing this D'Artagnan looked out of the window.
 M. de Treville. after having written the letter sealed it and, rising, ap- preached the young man in order to give 1t to him.

MACON. GA. Aug. 2O.-The contest
for congress from the Sixth district
between Representative Charles L.
Bartlett, John w. Wise and John r.
Cooper reached its climax today in
heated newspaper controversy between
Bartlett and Wise. In published fore
cast by the Bartlett executive commit

defeat is proba bic and an urgent APP
peal is made to Macon voters to cast
their ballots for their fellow townsman.
Mr. Wise has invaded this county and.
through the newspapers. has been con-

merchant and his beautiful bride, who
was Miss Mary Brown. a society belle,
were driven through the streets of
Grafton, an exclusive suburb of this

iron barred animal wagon.
Spohn and Miss Brown eloped to
Grove city, Pa. and were married. The
elopement was planned principally to
escape the practical humorists among
Mr. Spohn's employees and friends.
When the merrymakers arrived at the

the doors and hid, but was outwitted by
friends climbing to the roof and getting
in a gable window. Spohn was waylaid

the American public the needs of the

The Democrats have sought persis-

which have been accomplished by Re
publican administrations in the estab-
lishment Of a civil service free from
political influences. To this end. and in
order to make the civil service en-

would have made it necessary for every
government employee to turn his at

such political influence as would insure
his retention at the end of each seven

sion, as well as that which provides for
the legislative recall of the judges of

Saving an Army Officer.
When the politicians in congress
sought to legislate out of office a gen
eral officer because he had not sought
first their favor at the expense of the
economical and efficient admnistra-
tion of the army, President Taft
promptly vetoed the army appropria-
ton bill
The success of the attempt would
have encouraged every military politi-
clan and discouraged every army officer
who. true to his calling. sought only the
efficiency of this great arm of the ma
tons defense. A less courageous pres
ident might have sought to promote his
personal popularity by signing the bill,
even at the expense of the army's well
fare, but in this, as in all cases. Presi-
dent Taft refused even to consider
questions Of political expediency and
persisted in standing for the right even
though by so doing he might incur the
enmity of powerful members of con-
