Department Again Seeks Bids
The postofricc department is again
seeking bids from those who would
carry the Elail over the proposed new
star route from Gastonia TO York
vile, the bids to close July II. Bids
were received some time ago for this
route but all were refused by the gov
ernmcnt on the ground that they were
too high. The government offers 5000
per annum for the route, Il distance
of twenty-five miles and the con-
tract is for two years. 1t Is hardly
probable that any one will take the
Job for ihat length of time at that
figure, although Glover people are
hopeful that some one will do so and
thus save their convenience Of 4 mail
from the north in the morning. 1t Is
understood that the government will
permit the successful bidder TO haul
passengers in his jitrey along with
the mail; but that permission is not
regarded here as any especial induce
ment because of the fact that only q
one-way trip is made and few people
of Gastonia would be travelling this
way early in the morning. Glover
people are very much worried lest
they lose their present mail service
between Gastonia and Glover as re-
suit of the decision to continue it to
Yorkville If the government will in
crease the salary, however, there will
be no trouble.

The children, victims of his iniquity,
were finally put to death. His myr-
midons inveiglcd boys and girls from
neighboring villages into the castle
and they were never afterwards seen.
Other agents OF his, in his tours from
one to another of his castles in Bre-
tagne, were wont to persuade poor
peasants to intrust their children to
the care of the marshal, who promised
to attend to their advancement in life.
The children never were seen again.
and when outcries were made in con-
sequence the accomplces in De Retzs
iniquities sought to stiiie them by
threats or bribery.
This continued so long and the num-
Der of children who disappeared be-
came so large that the matter came un-
der the notice and interference Of the
authorities. In 144O the marshal was
arrested, with two of his men, Henri
and Etienne Corillant. Confronted
with his two acComplices, Giles at first
denied all knowledge of them; but
threat Of torture having alarmed him,
he revealed everything. The judges
were frozen with horror at the afro
cious recital which he made. There is
no doubt as to the authenticity of the
transactions. Records of the trial,
which lasted a month, exist in the Bib
iliothcquc Impcrialc ut Paris.
He Asked Parents Pardon.
For at least eight years in his scv-
cral castles ut MachCcoul, Chantoce
and TiffanGc3, as well as in his man
sions at Nantes and Sue, the atroci-
ties we're carried on. In most cases he
burned the bodies, but sufficient evil
dcnces were found to indicate forty
six victims at ChantOce and eighty at
Machecoul. Giles did not boast of his
atrocities; he confessed them and pub
licly asked pardon Of the parents OF
the murdered innocents. Condemned
to be stranglcd, he exhibited once more
q characteristic of his strange nature
by begging that the bishop of Nantes
head the procession which was formed
on the occasion. He was put to death
in 144O, about Christmas day, some
say December %.
Probably on account of some person.
al popularity, Giles de Lacal became
remembered at Barbe-blue, whence
our Bluebeard 1t seems to have
speedily become name of terror. Ho-
linshed, speaking of the committal of
the Duke OF Suffolk to the Tower in
the reign of Henry VI, states:
"This doing so much displeased the
people, that if polite provision had not
been made, great mischief had imme-
diately ensued For the commons, in
suudry places of the realm, assembled
together in great companies, and
chose to them a captain, whom they
called Bluebeard; but ere they had at
tempted any enterprise, their leaders
were apprehendcd, so that the matter
was pacified without any hurt COM
mitted."
As to the childrens Bluebeard, it
was written by Perrault in the time
of Louis XIV, and has been translat-
ed from the French into nearly all
languages of Europe. This Blue
boards propensity is not TO kill chill
dren but to marry wife after wife in
succession, kill them and deposit
their bodies in the fatal closet which
curiosity would not leave untouched.
We all know how another victim was
saved, and how Bluebcard met his
death.

THE ORIGINAL BLUEBEARD.
Giles de LacaI of France, Was the
Many of Many Wives.
From Kansas City Star

From Kansas City Star.
While there was no real lady to say:
Sister Anne do you see anybody COM
ing?" neverelcss Mczeray and other
French story writer's tell of "A man
whose career really suggested TO Per-
rauit the idea for the story Of Blue
beard.
Giles dc Lacal, Seigncur de Rctz,
better known in French history as
Marshal de Retz, was born in or about
the year 1896. In 1416 Giles entered
the service of his sovereign prince, the
Due de Bretagnc, and his name Is men
toned in connection with events in
1920 and 1925. He next entered the
service of the French king, Charles
VII, and was actively engaged in the
defensive war maintained by that mon
arch against the English, distinguish
ing himself in many. genents.
In 1929 Giles was one of the captains
under the celebrated Jean d Area, and
aided her in taking provision into Or
leans. We then hear of Giles, and his
brother Rene, accompanying the king
to Rheims; and it is supposed Giles
was on this occasion created Marshall
of France in recognition of these mil
itary services. 1t was he who carried
the holy ampOule, at the conservation
of the king, from the abbey of st. Rcmi
to the cathedral He appears also at
this time to have been counsellor and
chamberlain to the king. Again we
hear of him commanding troops
against the English in 143O and 1433,
in which last named year his martial
services appear to have terminated.
He Sacrificed His Standing.
Now, there is nothing whatever in
this career to denote n cruel or de-
pravcd state; on the contrary, Giles
de Lacal presents himself to us as the
Marshal dc Retz, n man Of high birth,
successful as q military commander,
and in high favor at the court of the
king of France Yet French annals re-
veal that this man, at 81 years old, be-
gan a course of life which brought in
fanny upon his name.
When 20 years old, Giles had inner
tied large estates from his father; at
"a he married Catherine de Thourars,
who brought him still larger property,
and when his maternal grandfather,
Jean de Caron, died in 1892, another
set of estates fell to him. Giles became
the richest subject in France. This
immense fortune was the cause of his
ruin. He plunged into debauchery; he
sold one estate after another to defray
his lavish expenses. He maintained
guard of honor Of two hundred horse
men. His suite OF fifty persons COM
prised chaplains, choristers, musicians,
pages and serviteurs, most Of whom
were made ministers or accomplices in
his acts.
Giles affected great pomp and mag
nificence in religious ceremonies. His
chapel was hung with cloth of gold and
silk; the sacred vessels were of gold
and enriched with precious stones. His
family, alarmed at his prodigal waste
of means, in which they all had an in
terest, obtained a decree from the par
lament of Paris, forbidding him to
make any further alterations of his
property.

A Spendthrift at First.

Even at this stage we do not recog-
nizc in Giles de Retz what the world
would call a monster; we see him only
as profligate spendthrift. But the
worst was approaching. Craving for
wealth to supply his extravaganza, he
had recourse to alchemy. Failing then
to discover the grand art of transmit
ing baser metals into gold, he turned
his attention to magic OF sorcery, un-
der the guidance of an Englishman,
Mcssirc Jean, and an Italian, Francisco
Prclati. He is reported to have made
a compact with Satan, offering to give,
in return for bounties his own life and
soul; as regard for the lives and souls
of others, he felt no scruple. 1t was
at this time, according to the accounts
which have descended to us, that he
began to immediate children, even
while fulfilling his religious duties in
his chapel with careful precision.
