Plea for Statues of Creations of Authors The citizens of Aucfc, the ancient capital of Gascony, have decided to erect a statue to D’Artagnan, hero of Alexandre Dumas’ “The Three Musketeers” and “Twenty Years After.” In reality, of course, it is much more than a statue to D’Artagnan. who never existed for the world until Dutnas called him ^nto being. It is more than n statue to Charles de Baatz Castlemore. who®was the original of Dumas’ hero, born far from Auch. It is really a statue to Dumas and the human imagina tion. Everything that has made D’Ar lagnnn memorable and interna tional came from a great maker of romances—D’Artagnan is one of the many creations of poets and writers that have become more real than real men.

Allow me.” And the stranger paid for the two. This worried the prelate, who Insisted: “Just let me call a taxi and we’ll run up to my place, where I shall have the pleasure of reimburs ing you. But the stranger met the suggestion with: See here, old man! You’ve stuck me for a bully dinner, but hanged If I am going to let you stick me for a taxi fare I *• * DEPENDS Bob—How old would you say Peggy is?
