The Three Presents 0f M. OArta9nan
 the Elder.
 ~ N the first Monday of the month
 of April, 1925, the bourg of Meung, in which the author
 of the Romance of the Rose" was born, appeared to be in as perfect state of revolution as if the Hugue- nots had just made second Rochelle of it. Many citizens were directing their steps toward the hostelry of the Franc -Meunier, before which was gath cred, increasing every minute, a com pact group, vociferous and full of cu- riosity.
 When arrived there the cause of this hubbub was apparent to, ala young man. We can sketch his portrait at dash. Imagine to yourself Don Quix- ote of eighteen, Don Quixote with out his corselet, without his coat of mail, clothed in a woolen doublet the blue color of which had faded into nameless shade between lees of wine and heavenly azure; face long and brown; high cheek bones, the maxillary muscles enormously developed, an in fallible sign by which Gascon may always be detected. He might have been taken for farmers son upon a journey had it not been for the long sword, which, dangling from a leath- ern baldrick, hit against the calves of it's owner as he walked.
 Our young man had steed which 1R oII 0I,c was Bearn pony from twelve to four teen years old, yellow in his hide. with out hair in his tail, but not without windgalls on his legs, which, though going with his head lower than his knees, rendering martingale quite unnecessary, contrived nevertheless to perform his eight leagues day. Tie appearance. of the said pony pro- duced an unfavorable feeling, which extended to his master.
 And this feeling had been the more painfully perceived by young D'Arta- gnan from his not being able to conceal sr0m himself the ridiculous appearance that such steed gave him, good horse man as he was. He had sighed deeply, therefore, when accepting the gift of the pony from NJ. D'Artagnan the elder.
 My son. said the old Gascon gen tleman, "this horse was born in the house of your father about thirteen years ago and has remained ill it ever since, which ought to make you love 1t. Never sell it. Allow it to die tranquilly and honorably of old age, and if you make a campaign with it take as much care of it as you would of an old servant. At court, provided. you have ever the honor to go there, sustain worthily your name of gen tleman, which has been worthily borne by your ancestors during 500 years. By these I mean your rela- tions and friends. Endure nothing from any one but Cardinal Richelieu and the king. It is by his courage, please to observe, by his courage alone, that gentleman can make his way nowadays. Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures. I have taught you how to handle a sword. You have thews of iron, a

The fight was pro- longed for some seconds, but at length D'Artagnan's sword was struck from his hand by the blow of a stick, and broken in two pieces. Another blow full upon his forehead at the same mo- ment brought him to the ground, cov- cred with blood and almost fainting.
 It was at this period that people came f1ocking to the scene of action from all parts. The host, fearful of consequences, with the help of his servants, carried the wounded man into the kitchen, where some trifing attention was bestowed upon him.
 As to the gentleman, he resumed his place at the window and surveyed the crowd with certain air of impatience, evidently annoyed by their remaining undispersed. Well, how is it with this madman?" exclaimed he, turning round as the i'm fh0 of the host, who came to inquire if he was unhurt.
 "He is better" said the host. "He tainted quite away. We rummaged his valise and found nothing but clean shirt and twelve crowns, which, how ever, did not prevent his saying as he was fainting that, if such a thing had happened in Paris you should have in- stantly repented of it.'
 '"Then," said the unknown coldly, ''he must be some prince in disguise. Did he name no one in his passion?"

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The news or
yesterday and this morning was in
line with that of Saturday, insofar as
II showed the Balkan allies to be still
gaining ground. and some OF today's
particulars (such as the seizure of a
Turkish supply train) had an un-
pleasant look for the Ottoman army.
Yet today as on Saturday, the Euro
pean stock exchange accepted the
Turkish reverses with .calmness.
English and continental markets, IL
Ii true, were somewhat more disposed
to weakness than they were on Sat
urday, but the changes in price were
slight. The only change In securi-
ties of the fighting states was one
point advance In Greek four per cents
and while French rentes fell back Ia
point, British Consois rose ! 1-6. This
calmness was perhaps, the more

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.--To put an

other fourteen major league teams.
Another part of the plan provides
the definite apportionment Of a Ger

for making the deal. What he re-
