tho trial by court-martial of Colonel Meade
ot the Unltou? States marine corps. Ho
testified that, In his opinion, the cost of

roandant ot the marine corps."
General Haywood said ho was perfectly
satisfied with the work done on the marine
barracks and the contractors had made good
all defoots for which they were rcspon
alble. He said that Colonel Denny had

embarrassed while Inspecting, by the fact
that Colonel Meade was under the Influ

'D'Artagnan, the King-Maker," Is what
may be termed a pew DumaB story. It Is
new to tho American public, for, although
It haa appeared In French as a drama, It

understood after one reads the stirring ro
mance. It Is a strong talo, brimful of Inci
dent from the moment, that Cardinal Rich

nan on his king-making mission to Portu
gal, which wns then In the grip of Spain.
Hero In this practically uuknown corner of
