dreadfully, for a moment, on a 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 it 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.
D'Artagnan was the first TO be ar
rested and brought before Richelieu.
Threatened with the ak, he faced the
great s0ldier-priest boldly anG pro-
duced a paper which the friends had
taken from Milady. The cardinal read:
1T is by my order and for the good
OF the state that the bearer of this has
done what has been done.
"RICHELlEU."
It was q paper that MiIady had ex-
acted from her master before ventur-
ing on the mission to Stay Buckingham.
The cardinal pondered He c0nsid-
cred how much 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 TIE table and signed a
parchment. at is my death walrarf"''
thought D'Artagnan. He took it. It
was q commission as lieutenant OF the

Skldding is the resultant of two

occurs is not sufficiently good to
counteract one or both of the other
forces. and as result, the forward
movement Of the car Is In the diree-

When skidding starts. the average
motorists impulse is TO jam on the
brakes and turn the wheels away
from the direction in which the car
is skidding. Both of the actions only,
serve to aggravate the skid. Lock-
ing the rear wheels by jamming on
the brakes will tend to cause the car
to continue to move, sideways, per

OF all the contretemps that sooner

when comparatively inexperienced

average motorist what he fears most

ist fears the skidding OF the cars
driven by noyices and daredevil
motorists. The novice fears nothing
so much as the skid OF his own car.
At some time most motorists come to
