dreadfully, for moment, on q mighty
sword. 1t fell with sudden force.
The executioner of Lille took off his
red cloak, spread it ON the ground, laid
the body in it, and bore 1t to the boat.
In the middle Of the stream, he lifted
the burden over the water, and cried
aloud: LET the justice of God be
done!" The corpse fell into the river
and disappeared. -.
The four guardsmen rejoined the
king at Rochelle, and prepared them
selves to suffer the cardinals ven
geance. That he would learn what
they had done, was certain. They had
reckoned the stakes and were resigned
to pay the cost Of the game, content
that they had settled their accounts
with the woman who had crossed
their lives so often and to the ruin of
so many innocent ones.
DArtagnan was the first to be ar
rested and brought before Richelieu.
Threatened with the ak, he faced the
great soldier-priest boldly and pro-
duced paper which the friends had
taken from Milady. The cardinal read !:
ut is by my order and for the good
of the state that the bearer of this has
done what has been done.
"RICHELIEU."
It was a paper that Milady had ex-
acted from her master before ventur-
ing on the mission to slay Buckingham.
The cardinal pondered. He consid-
cred how much a good master might
make out of the activity, the courage
and the shrewdness Of such men as
this. On the other hand, he felt some
thing like relief at being forever re-
lieved of the dangerous woman who
knew too many of his secrets.
He turned to the table and signed a
parchment. at is my death warrant r.
thought D'Artagnan. He took it. It
was commission as lieutenant of the
kings musketeers.
Alexandra Dumas had been writ-
ing plays and stories for 20 gears
whem, in 1914, he produced this
novel, which Was foIlowed the neat
gear by "The Count of Monte-C Girls
to-" Despite the popularity of the
latter, "The Three Musketeers"
must rank as his masterpiece. There
is nothing in "Monte-Cristo" Ike
the magnificent gslardsmen. Both
novels suffer from their great au-
tbors tendency to melodrand, but
the characters of the musketeers
make literature of true alsd high
quality.
The plots Nth which they succeed
in fosltng the brilliant cardinal are
paertle and sometimes absurd; but
in eUery word and action the chief
characters are aliUe. Puenacious love-
making D'Artagnan, mild Athos,
dainty, thanksgiving Aramis, and
cadging, casn, bltmdly brave Porthos
are four prize men of fiction.
The time of the story is 1896
1923. The plot revolves around

USE PARCEL POST
That Is Solution of Topeka Re-
tail Delivery System.
Government May Take Hand
Making This Mandatory.
NO STORE TO TAKE THE LEAD
All Must Reach Agreement To
Stop the Old System.
Costs Here Are Less Than in
Many Large Cities.

Government delivery of parcels
thru the parcel post system is looked
upon as a solution of the expensive
delivery system existing in American
cities. ]. B. Walker, vice president
and general manager of Pelletier's,
stated today->that trade papers are
agitating the adoption of this plan,
believing it will cut down the deliv-
cries especially if delivery by parcel
post is made mandatory by the gov
eminent and the purchaser is obliged
to pay the cost of delivery.
Agitation for government control of
municipal retail stores deliveries fol-
lows the action Of the national coun-
Gil OF defense in urging that the
number of deliveries be cut to the
minimum by retail stores. Topeka re-
tailers received letters Friday from
the council of defense urging the re-
duction of deliveries.
Must Be United Action.
Merchants declared today that no
| action will be taken in Topeka unless
every merchant in the city pledges
himself to make a minimum number
or deliveries 1t was pointed out that
the topeka system of delivery is not
| as eXtravagant and wasteful as sys-
TENS in many other cities, where the
| increase in population is more rapid
and competition for new trade is
| bitter and costly. The lack of hills
in Topeka and the accessibility to all
|
| tr1ct in the center of the city is an
other reason leading merchants to be-
l1eve that the delivery system in
vogue in Topeka is not unduly costly.
Admission was made that many To
peka housewives draw heavily on the
temper of merchants by ordering
small packages delivered long dis
tances- This, it was pointed out, is a
result of the service propaganda
spread thru the country in trade jour
mails in recent years.
No One to Take Lead
For that reason, none of the mer.
chants feel willing to cut down deliv-
cries unless all will follow a similar
course. They do feel that If the gov.
eminent takes over the job and il
housewives are forced to pay extra
for small deliveries, these deliveries
will be cut to the minimum as the
| government desires and delivery wa.
CONS and men engaged on them will
be free for government service durins

RUN WHEAT train
This Is Part of the State COun-
Gil of Defense Program.
1t Will Cover Most of Western
Kansas Territory.

The Kansas state defense council
may send a special train into the big
wheat producing counties in a cam
paign to arouse the farmers in a drive
for a record wheat acreage. Plans for
the special train are being worked out
by Henry ]. Waters, president of the
State Agricultural college and head
of the defense league. The plan will
be presented at a meeting of the
league Tuesday.
Detailed information is now being
gathered from every section of the
state concerning crop conditions. The
big drive of the defense council will
be to promote a ten million acre win
ter wheat sowing. In order to pro-
mote sentiment in the big wheat coun
ties, it is probable the state defense
| council will go into the wheat counties
in an appeal for maximum crop pro-
duction.
Waters Works on Plan.
Speakers of statewide prominence,
experts from the State Agricultural
| college and local business men and
| crop growers will accompany the
| train. It is not known what action
will be taken by the state organiza-
| ton. Plans for the train will be pre-
sented by President Waters He has
| been working on the project several
days, it became known today, and the
| information which he has gathered
will be presented Tuesday.
| The plan for a special train thru
| western Kansas counties is just one of
the moves contemplated by the state
| cour4cil to promote interest in ten
million acre wheat sowing. j. {.
| Mohler, secretary of the state board
| of agriculture, Governor Capper and
| other officials of the defense council
have collected valuable information
from all sections of Kansas.
During the last few days Governor
Capper has sent letters to legislative
members in the western half of the
state He has sought information con-
corning needs in local communities
and ability of farmers to secure an
| adequate supply of seed wheat. A
number of letters have already been
received. Information was also re-
ceived today concerning details of the
food drive in Nebraska.
Nebraska Adopts Plan.
The northern state will send several
special trains thru the state in cam
paign similar to the one proposed for
Kansas. 1t is probable that the spe-
| ciaI train, If ordered by the state
council, will visit the large crop grow
ing districts of the Fourth, Fifth
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts.

formation is also available concerning
the amount of seed wheat and acres
to be sown in various counties.
I Reports in the state house today in
| dicated that a meeting may be held in
| advance of the regular meeting of the
| state council in an effort to work out
a financial program. If the meeting
is held Monday, a number of bankers
and prominent business men will be
called into conference concerning a
plan to finance seed wheat purchases
and providing funds for the crop pro-
duction campaign.

Secretaries of state will meet in To-

tary of state. Topeka won the 1916
convention when the secretaries held
their initial meeting in Cincinnati in
1915.
When the secretaries planned for
their 1916 convention, most of them
found that political affairs at home
meant too much to attend a conven-
ton. So the meeting was postponed.
This is an off year in politics in a
number of states and Botkin will seek
to bring. the convention to Kansas
