The Minister’s
Revenge
By RUTH GRAHAM
One night during a ball at Versailles
—this was during the reign of Louis
XIII. and the government of Cardinal
Richelieu as prime minister—Dr. An
tonio Langrado. a Spanish physician,
who had found royal favor by coring
r the king of an iHosas. was passing
crom one poom to another when be met
. a party of three in whom he fiett sure
saw the enactment at Otte of those
we stories which, though they are
uimon, the world kwas as well as it
7 were rare. < /
ise three wore a girl of nineteen
i two men. - The man on the right
was forty, qalto ftrt and with a red
f&ce, denoting that be was much given
to wine. He was evidently a roan of
/Importance, for tris breast was covered
/ with the insignia at different orders.
He on her left was a handsome young
' fellow not much oldgr than the girl,
' who wore but one a deooretkm
) tor military distinction.
As the three passed Dr. Langrado
the older man scowled at the younger,
whose fingers played nervously with
the handle of bib rapier, while the lady
seemed to draw toward him and away
from the other. But the doctor saw
them only a moment, for they passed
in among one throng, while be passed
in among another.
The ball being ended, Dr. Langrado
went to his lodgings and to bed. He
had barely fallen to sleep when he was
awakened and hurried away to see a
patient. The person coming for him—
a young army officer —said to him:
“Doctor, your patient has received a
dangerous wound. It will be expected
of you if questioned to report that he
is ill of a fever. Do you understand?”
“Partly. I presume he has been
stabbed for reasons that are better
1 kept secret.”
“Not exactly. Perhaps I should tell
you the exact status. He has been
wounded in a duel. You know the
cardinal”—
“Yes, I know that the cardinal has
determined to stop this mania for duel
ing, which is spilling the best 'blood
in France, and if he knows the patient
is half dead after fighting will have
the headsman finish him.”
“You are right. Can we rely on
you?”
“My business is to cure him if pos
sible. I have nothing to do with how
he was wounded.”
The officer was obliged to be satis
fied with this, and in a few minutes
the two entered the chamber of his
patient. The doctor found a dangerous
wound in the side, which he bound up
according to the treatment prevalent
at that time. But what surprised him
was that his patient wae the younger
of the two men he had noticed with
the girl at the ball at the palace.
Dr. Langrado attended the Invalid
tor several weeks and was getting him
into a condition when it would be safe
to leave him when be received a sum
mons to report himself at the Palais
Cardinal. He obeyed and was ushered
into the cabinet of the prime minister.
"Doctor,” said the cardinal, “you
have attended young Raoul de Pour
tales. What is his disease?”
“He has no disease, your eminence.
He has recovered.”
“You have cured him of a wound,
have you not?”
“I decline to answer. I am not a
subject of the king of France, but the
king of Spain.”
“But you are a physician, and as
such I think I can require you to tell
me whether your patient is sufficiently
recovered to stand up manfully under
the ceremony of being beheaded.”
“I believe, your eminence, that he
will stand such a ceremony without
flinching. He is a splendid fellow.”
The cardinal thought awhile before
proceeding with the examination.
“I should like to punish Pourtales’
antagonist," he said presently, “but he
has succeeded in keeping himself un
known. Since you are a Spanish citizen
I will not require you to tell, if you
know, but will ask you to do sq.”
“Will not Pourtales give Kib oppo
nent’s name?”
“No.”
“I see. He is an honorable man.”
“Do you know who his opponent
was?”
“I think I do, your eminence.”
“Well?”
“I am not sure but that he is very
near to his majesty the king. He may
be of royal blood.”
The cardinal paused again and
thought The doctor, whose sympa
thies were all with young Pourtales,
fancied he saw away to save Jus life,
but be waited for the minister to speak
again.
“In that case,” said Richelieu, “it
might be best to ignore the matter.
If what you suspect is true I may over
look Pourtales’ disobedience.”
Dr. Langrado told the story as it has
been told here. He described the man
he had seen in company with Pour
tales on the night of the ball, and the
cardinal recognized him at once as the
Marquis de Ceaux. a relative of the
king. Richelieu hated the marquis,
but it was not in the line of his policy
to being one of royal blood to the
Mock.
“Thank you, doctor,” he said wnen
the story was finished. “What can I
do to show my gratitude Cor the favor
I have received ?'
“Forgive my patient”
“I will more than forgive him. I
Will marry him to the girl he loves.
This is all the punishment I can in
flict on Do Ceaux. though I should like
to marry him to the block."
And the cardinal kept his promise.

Ref. Luther Bridges Opens Revival
in Atlanta.
From Monday’s Constitution.
Rev. Luther R. Bridges, who is
conducting a two weeks’ series of
revival meetings at the First Metho
dist church, spoke last night to a
large audience upon “Experimental
Religion.”
Mr. Bridges is an eloquent evan
gelist. Although he is perhaps 30
years old, his youthful appearance
is responsible for his sometimes
being called, the “Boy Preacher.”
Mr. Bridges is also a singer of fine
quality, and, in the midst of his
sermon last night, sang an impres
sive solo, entitled “Peace.”
Mr. Bridges will preach every
morning at 10.30 o’clock, and in the
evening at 7.45. At tonight’s ser
vice! the Win-One quartet of the
Central Baptist church will sing.
Methodist Church Loses Vanderbilt.
Nashville, Tenn., March 21 —The
Tennessee supreme court today de
cided the case involving the control
of Vanderbilt university in fav.or of
the university board of trust and
against the college of bishop;) of the
Southern Methodist church. The
court held the board of trust to be a
self-perpetuating body.
The court, however, holds that
the /board of trust’s selections are
subject to confirmation by the gen
eral conference or the church’s
board of education, but sit until re
jected. The Asheville general con
ference’s selections for the board
of trusts are denied their seats the
trustees elected by the board of
trust in June, 1910, namely, Claude
Waller and Robert F. Jackson, of
Nashville, and J. A. Robins, of Mc-
Kenzie, Tenn., are seated pending
rejection.
The court held that “Commodore”
Cornelius Vanderbilt and not the
Southern Methodist church was the
founder and original patrons of
Vanderbilt university.
Under the decision the college of
bishops’ veto of the acceptance by the
board of trust of Andrew Carnegie’s
million dollar gift to the medical de
partment is without effect.
Husband of Mayor Held on Her
Warrant.
Portland, Oreg., March 17.—Mrs.
John Larsen, mayor of Troutdale,
Oregon, caused the arrest of her
husband today on a charge of selling
liquor to minors.
Recently the woman mayor asked
the district attorney to investigate
alleged law violations. When she
found that evidence had been dis
covered against her husband him
self a liquor dealer she promptly
swore out a warrant.
“I did not think I’d catch Mr.
Larsen,” she said today, ■“but if
he’s guilty he’ll have to take his
medicine like the rest.”
Bumper Fruit Crop Promised Georgia.
With no appreciable damage to
the south Georgia fruit crop, and
the north Georgia crop unscathed,
the Georgia Fruit exchange predicts
a bumper fruit crop for Georgia,
provided, however, that there is no
weather of particular severity dur
ing the rest of the spring months.
W. W. Chase, of the state ento
mological department, has just been
to north Georgia, and he predicts a
100 per cent crop for that end of the
state. The south Georgia crop, it is
believed, has not been greatly
damaged.

CALOMEL A GREAT
DANGER TO MANY
Has Bad Effect on Some—Dodson’s
Liver Tone Takes Its Place
and is Perfectly Harmless.
If you will inquire at George’s
Drug Store you will find that Dod
son’s Liver Tone is guaranteed to be
a safe, reliable remedy to take the
place of calomel, and a harmless
liver stimulant having no bad after
effects. Indeed, any of these firms
will refund purchase price (50c.)
without question if you are in any
way dissatisfied with this vegetable
liquid.
It is very unwise to take calomel,
even dangerous, as many people
suffer from the poison afterwards,
even though they may appear at
first temporarily relieved. On the
other hand, Dodson’s Liver Tone
works easily and naturally (really
assisting nature) with no pain nor
gripe and correcting all bilious con
ditions and ills of constipation,clear
ing away the sick headache and the
coated tongue, brightening up the
dulled brain and strengthening the
weakened body at the same time
that it removes collected waste from
the overburdened system.
Those who have tried Dodson’s
Liver Tone have found that it made
them healthier and happier. A test
may prove of great benefit to you
right now.
