Almost from the moment he leaves mounted on his old white plough horse whose appearance led to his first duel, his adventures begin. Soon he is member of the Musketeers, and an intimate of the famous Three. He finds himself entangled in the web of intrigue which the crafty Richelieu spun in his efforts to discredit Anne of Austria and advance himself in the kings favor. The whole series of duels. roadside skirmishes, secret meetings and ether thrilling adven- lures which go to make up this fas- cinating story are all shown up to the time when D'Artagnan wins the love of the Duke of Zuckingham's daughter The story closes with fortune smiling on the Three Musketeers and their friend
 This romantic masterpiece will be shown three times daily, at 2.30. and $40.

THE ROBIN.

When first the willow catkins show, And water elms put on a veil Of golden glory. and the flow
 Of maple sap in trough or pail With merry drip and tinkle makes The pulses leap, the fancies throng Then robin comes at dawn and wakes And gladdens all the world with
 song;
 High on the cherry tree he tunes His voice to many a winsUIne lay. Or in the long, sweet afternoons Till sunset sings his soul away. Best bird. and wise no idle praise Nor foolish blame disturbs his rest; Content he weaVeS diVineSt lays Or tolls at humble loves bekest- We crown him laureate of our woods, We welcome his returning wings, And dream of joys beatitudes Whene' CT the vernal robin sings.
