 and gave Lady de Winter passports to England. But hal There was a crack in Riche- lieu's conspiracy room, and behind the crack were the four comrades. Athos took charge of the situation, for he learned that Lady de Winter was none
 other than his wife whom he thought
 he had killed. He confronted her, took
 her passports away from her, and sent her to England without them.
 To Lord de Winter they sent mes- sage telling of the plot to murder Buck ingham, and she was imprisoned on her arrival in England. She escaped, anu succeeded in her plan to have Bucklng- ham assassinated. Then she returned to- France, found Madame Bonancieux in her hiding place and killed the pretty seam stress with her own hands.
 The Musketeers tracked down the slayer and held a private trial of their own. They found Lady de Winter gull ty, sentenced her to death, and called in an executioner to perform the oper- ation. He proved to be the same man who had branded her. This jolly coin cidence didn't make it any easier on Lady de Winters neck.
 Richelieu ordered d'Artagnan ar rested, and it was none other than the Man of Meung, he with the muddy com plexion, who captured the gay Gascon. But d'Artagnan explained everything to Richelieu, proving that Lady de Win ter was totally false, even as to teeth end hair. Instead of punishing him. Richelieu handed him lieutenants commission, with the dotted line for the name left blank. ~
 D'Artagnan offered the commission to Porthos, who thanked him but said he was going to stop fighting for his country and save his cumulative pro- clvities for a wife he was figuring on marrying. Aramis didn't want it, be- cause he planned to enter the church. Athos took the commission and wrote the name of d'Artagnan in the blank. For, after all, d'Artagnan was the hero of the Three Musketeers, though he wasn't advertised on the cover.

STRANGE VISITOR IN IRELAND MUST
 PRACTICE CAUTION
Travellers Will Save Trouble By Providing Convenient Direc- tory of Themselves
 CTS Information Archives
By Associated Press

Dublin, January 1.--Ireland today is land where it is advisable for the newly arrived, unacquainted traveller to tell the hall porter at his hotel who he is, his nationality, his business in town and how long he expects to stay, then be most circumspect in whatever he does or says.
 People with uncertain backgrounds or on indefinite missions get courteous receptions, but it is futile for them to expect their wecolmes to be tinctured with anything approaching familiarity, normally one of the dominant Irish characteristics. Therefore. the wisdom of singing out your business" as one American traveller expressed it, to your hall porter.
 Unlimited Americans perhaps would not understand the important positi on occupied by this functionary. He is veritable encyclopedia of information and who's who" of everything impor- tant concerning the hotel, it's man a.gement and staff and it's guests.
 It is this individual that raiders al- most invariably consult when they make their unconventional visits to hostelries in search of wanted per- sons. His statement that a person asked for was an American or French man and that he came to town for some legitimate purpose has been known to rave the guest an abrupt waking and quiz. possibly at the point of revolver
 Instances recently published in news papers of persons shot ''by mistake" or. as has been claimed in at least one case. because the victim had been seen conversing with a masked man." has infused the wrole atmosphere of so- cial life in Ireland with suspicion and diffidence Travellers learn sooner or later that no one wants to know anyone else in Ireland today unless some form of credentials is forth coming or mutual friend is willing to vouch for the newcomers accepta- bllity and trustworthiness.
 This state Of affairs has transformed oid-time happy-go-lucky Ireland into a country where conversations in pub He places are carried on in undertone. where not shifty, but shifting. surtive giances are shot at strangers, and where no one Is his brothers keeper.

Boston Bankers Believe in Female Clerks;
 Employed m Emer gency, Stay As Experts

Until within few years, most positions open to women within bank ing institutions have been largely in the nature of stenographic work. At present you will find women in almost every department. and when the de- partment head is consulted he will tell you that the woman clerks work is very satisfactory indeed
 Occasionally we hear of some woman who has attained an executive position within the conservative cir cles of banking, although such attain ments have not been at all general This is not bit discouraging, how ever, when we realize that what we have been given to do we have done satisfactorily. We need to realize that the future may bring greater opportunities and to be ready, for these we cannot have too great knowledge relating to the principles and details of banking.'

Three Big Bouts At Gillespie Dam
 Thursday Night

It matters not to the boys at the Gillespie dam whether boxing is un der the lid in Phoenix SO long as they can use the local battlcrs to stage classy exhibitions down their way. Two weeks ago the men employed at the dame staged d fight card with Red Gardner ana Young Langford in which the duslSy boy went to dreamland in the first round The boys became en- thused and now they hold fights ev- cry two weeks
 The next fight we'll be held at Gill lcspie dam tomorrow evening with Battling Scotty and Kid Crawford go- ing eight rounds in the main event.
 In the semi final six round event, Hard Hitting Jelly Roll is billed to fight Battling Chico of Miami. Chico is whirlwind with his mitts, but the dope sheet says nothing of Jelly Roll S ability. From all reports he is a choc- olate dip with an awful wallop.
 The opening number features The Hassayampa Kid versus Wildcat Mar rymore in four rounds. If the promters have as much success in staging the tight as they hare in picking names, the fans down Gillespie way will have one big evening.
 A large delegation of Phoenix sports will go 70 the dam tomorrow evening to get d line on Crawford, the boy who win fight Scotty. If he can Timber the Phoenix Mex he is some wiz with the sOfas

 The southern teams are used to play ing outdoors. They have floor space but can't judge baskets in close sur roundings
 Team Play Wins
 Pennsylvania and West Virginia have heavy defensive teams. Long shooting and floor speed beats them
 The Michigan. Minnesota and Hi nois lives lean to individual stars. Bui stop the star and they don't score.
 The corn-fed teams rom Indiana and Nebraska earn honors with team play.
 Ohio teams show polish and are vel schooled in fundamentals.

 Dear Sir.
 "a reference to the athletic pro- gram proposed by "Pidge" Pinney and endorsed by w. A. Porter of the Uni Ncrsity of Arizona. let us also add that this would be one of the greatest steps towards developing athletes and ath- lctics which wonid aronse interest in future attractions at oar state fairs. HIt is q known fact that 90 per cent of the population of the United States is vitally interested in some form O. athletics. In outlining a program ot events practically every branch of ath- letics could be staged on the field at the state fair grounds. including foot nal baseball track and field events. pushbal games ternis tournament. and other outdoor athletic events
 The Americ9n legion would apprc- ciate very much having the big foot bah game. which has been suggested between the University of Arizona and some othey college team. held on Ar nisticc 0ay of fair week. We feel thr, this game would be one Of the biggest attragions of the entire week and WoD l make Armistice day stand out abr we all others.
 ''Ne are more than delighted that a step of this kind has been taken and YOU can rest assured that the Amcrican legion will support the movement iH every way possible and will try to enter teams in the various contests.
 re hos been our desire io again take up athletics and to try 10 stimulAfe tp'erost among our members to th end. rHowever if the prssent plan ]. carried out it Win give an inceaiige ie the war vets" to organize and sup. port trams that would represent GIT, cfgauization
 Hoping the present plan will mee v1th success and that 1t may live ir reality at our next state fair. I am.
