A Memory OF Dumas.

After more than fifty-two
years of litigation interfered
with by periods of war and by
frequent deaths among the
litigants, the highest courts of
France have at last handed down
what is considered the final de-
cision of the authorship of the
romances of Alexander Dumas. "
It has always been understood
that the author of the immorta
d'Artagnan romances called in
others to help him in finishing
some of his less famous novels.
1t has been often asserted that,
during the closing decades of his
life, all that Dumas did was to
suggest plots TO young authors.
The latter wrote the books which
were, according to this theory.
published under the name of
Dumas for the sale his name
would bring.
The French courts do not, as
we understand the decision, hold
that this shabby practice is
brought home to the celebrated
novelist. They, in fact, reject
the claims of score or more, and
decide that the only persons
entitled to share with the Dumas
family in royalties of the Dumas
novelists are the heirs of Auguste
Marquet. The courts hold as es-
tablished that Marquet worked
constantly in collaboration with
Dumas, and had something to
do even with the writing of the
latter's most celebrated work,
"The Three Musketeers."
