THE STORY OF A FIGHT FOR A THRONE D’Artagnan, the King Maker <= By ALEXANDRE DUMAS. Written originally by Dumas asa play, and now for the first time novelized and translated into English. The Philadelphia Enquirer says: ‘‘A pretty love story in which the debonair cavalier falls victim to Cupi.’s wiles is one of the interesting threads running through the book.’’ : The Chicago Record-Herald says: “Tt is singular that this bit of romance has been suffered to remain hidden away for so long a time. D’Artagnan’s manner of winning the hermit kingdom contains enough thrills to repay a careful reading. The story oozes adventure at every chapter.”’ The Brooklyn Eagle says: “Tt is a strong tale brimful of incident from the moment when Cardinal Richelieu dispatches the redoubtable D’ Artagnan on his king-making mission to Portugal.’’ 12mo., Illustrated.
