"Because she had been branded," continued d'Artagnan. "Bah!" cried Porthos. "Impossible! What do you say that she wanted to have her brother-in-law killed?" "Yes." "She was married?" asked Aramis.

Mason of the Mason House, Minneola, into the dining room one afternoon to talk over a little matter with her, he found her most willing. It was a short session. After listening and punctuating his remarks with "of courses" and "yeses" and "so's," Mrs. Mason's reply was: "Of course, Mr. Barclay," the Mr. Barclay he remembered as the only time in his life he ever had it from her, "of course, Mr.
