WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
D'ARTACNAN, DETECTIVE
BY ALEXANDRA DUMAS.

Alexandra Dumas, 1ao2-7o. was q French
Govelist and dramatiSS, author OF me
CriSto," etc.
DArtagnan was sent by King Louis
XIV to go over the scene of a duel, in
which a courtier had been wounded, to
see what he could see. D'Artagnan
managed to see great deal. as devel-
oped In his report to his King.
Sir" D'Artagnan began, your maj
esty told me that there was a horse
lying dead in the crossread, and be-
gan, therefore, by studying the roads.
say the roads because the center Of
the croSSroad is reached by four sepa-
rate roads. The one that took was the
only one that presented any fresh
tracks. Two horses had followed it side
by side; their eight feet were marked
very distinctly in the clay. One of the
riders was more impatient than the
other, for the footprints of the one were
invariably In advance of the other about
half horses length"
Are you quite sure they were travel
ing together" asked the King.
Eyes, sire. The horses were two
rather large animals of equal pace
horses well used to maneuvers of all
kinds, for they wheeled around the
curve together. The two cavaliers
paused there for minute, no doubt to
arrange the conditions of their duel
The horses grew restless and impatient.
One of the two cavaliers then remained
where he was standing; the other
crossed the open space and at first
placed himself directly opposite to his
adversary. The one who had remained
stationary traverSed the curve at
gallop, thinking that by this means he
would gain upon his opponent, but the
latter had followed the circumference
of the wood. He who followed the eir-
conference Of the wood was mounted
on black horse"
How do you know that?" demanded
the King. =.
81 found a few hairs of his tail
among the bramhles which bordered the
sides Of the ditch. AS for the other
horse, there can be no trouble IN de-
scribing him, since he was left dead on
the field of battle. A ball had passed
through his brain. It was pistol bull
let. And the manner in which the
horse was wounded explained to me the
tactics Of the man who killed 1t. He
had followed the circumference OF the
wood in order to take his adversary In
flank. Moreover, followed his foot

Eyes, sir. AS your majesty now per-
ceives the position Of the two adver-
saries, I will for q moment leave the
cavalier who had remained stationary
for the one who started of at gallep,
The horse of the cavalier who rode at
full speed was killed on the spot. The
cavalier had not time even to throw
himself of his horse, and 50 fell with
it. I observed the impression Of his
leg, which. with a great effort, he was
able to extricate from under the horse.
The spur, pressed down by the weight
of the carcass, plowed up the ground"

did he do when he rose to his feet?"

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Peaceful Life.

S0NNAu4 4AASs
There are three children in the fam
lily, boy of 13, a girl of 9, and a baby
of years. Home is a lively place. If
one is quiet for moment the other is
up and doing.
Dear me-" said mother, els there
never a peaceful minute to be had in
this life? 1t seems to me that ought
to have some peace and quiet"
Well, so she ought, but she will have
to take it by main force, for children
are never quiet, never peaceful elements
in a household. The essence Of their
and trouble and worry. The only time
q mother, feels safe about a child is
when she sees him asleep.
It Is not possible to live happily with
children unless they have something to
do. The best thing to do" Is always
something useful. A child likes to feel
responsible. Wise mothers start early
in the child's life to let him feel him.
self part of the family and therefore
responsible for part of its business and
all of its success.
1t Is hard to be patient while child
learns to do things about the house. 1t
is far easier to do them ones self than
it is to direct the fumbling hands and
cropping mind Of an eager child. It re-
quires lot of understanding of life's
purposes to accept with praise child's
uneven, crude, unlovely product. But
If one can discipline himself to do just
that, the peaceful life has already
dawned upon his horizon.
The happiest family Is the busiest
one. When each child has his task
and attends to it, while they may argue
a bit and jostle each other in anxiety
to get the first and best of the business,
they will be steadily merging into a
family unity and that, too, is peace.
OF course, if family has servants
the troubles are more varied and nu-
merous for there is little left for the
children to do. But most of us have
the privilege of doing our own work
and the children can have a share OF
it. The home chores are what bind
children to home and each other. They
may complain about them, we all do
but the saving grace remains.
Children are unhappy in the home
that they do not share. Sharing means
more than shelter and food and
clothes It means that from the very
beginning mother and father made
room for the children. Home became
'tour home" The children were given
to understand that they were part Of
every plan, part Of every decision, that
they were considered before any action
was taken. And as soon as they could
understand question of family inter-
est it was put before them and their
opinion asked and heard.
Children brought up in that kind OF
home are peaceful. Not that they
are ever silent-that would mean death
but they are happy because they
count. They are happy because they
have been recognized as people. They
respond with love to love and UNDER
standing. They take to responsibility
as q duck takes to water-if they get
the chance. Try it and see. But begin
early.

In the latter case use an aStringent, as

Women of any age. however, can keep

Employ Chinese AS Side
Line For Smuggling

San Francisco.-The opium traffic
revolves around expert Chinese
smugglers who are employed on
American ships, according to Paul
Scharrenberg, editor Seamen's Jour-
nal. The labor editor points to the
source of the opium traffic in dis
cussing the failure of the League of
Nations advisory commission on
opium to control the illicit narcotic
trade.
"The prospects for effective control
of the traffic in opium seem rather
gloomy" said Mr.. Scharrenberg, who
calls attention to reports from the
San Francisco customs office that %
important ship seizures of narcotics
have been made since 1928 The Off
cial fines for this smuggling totaled
S608,210, but this was reduced to $15,-
1873.
"Of course, it is no secret that Chi
nese crews are responsible for nine
tenths of all smuggling in narcotics
"The obvious thing to do under the
circumstances would seem to be the
speedy replacement of the expert
Chinese smugglers who so readily find
employment in the transpacifc trade
But the good men and women who are
so anxious to protect society from the
growing menace of narcotics do not
seem to grasp the necessity of hitting
at the base of the trouble and sup
press expert smuggling.

smugger will gladly work as mem
