Richelieu continued in meditation, rolling and unrolling the paper in hishand. At last he raised his head, and fixed his eagle eye upon that loyal, open and in ent countenance, and read upon that face, all furrowed with tears, the sufferings poi he had endured within a month, and he then tho might have in store for such a youth of barely twenty years of age, and what resources his activity and cot e and intelligence might offer to a good master. the other side, the crimes, the power, the almost infernal genius of her ladyship had more a a eer the paper and read in a very | | arms suits you; you will bea brave an bt, for the third or fourth time, what futurity, | than once alarmed him, and he felt a secret joy at _ being forever freed from such a dangerous accom. nan had so peers returned to him. “*T am lost,”’ said d’Artagnan, in his own heart. The cardinal pees the table, and, without sitting down, wrote some words on a parchment of which two- Ss was already filled up, and then fixed his seal upon it. He slowly tore up the paper that d'Artag- | “That is my condemnation,” thought d’Artagnan; | “he s me the misery of the Bastile, and the details of a trial.

D’Artagnan fell at cardinal’s feet. ** My lord,"’ said he, ‘‘ my life is yours—make use of it henceforth; but this favor, which you bestow u me, is beyond my merits; I have three friends who are more worthy of it.” “You are a brave youth, d'Artagnan,"’ said the ca tapping him’ familiarly on the shoulder, in his delight at having conquered that rebellious nature—‘‘do what you like with this commission, as the nume is omitted; only remember that it is to you I give it.”’ “Your eminence may rest assured,’’ said d’Ar- t “that I will never forget it." ae e eardinal turned, and said aloud: ort!"

He entered, under verdant arches, through the suburb of Saint-Jacques. D'Artagnan took his promotion, the service, and married Madame Coquenard, in the course of the following year. The strong-box, so much coveted, contained eight hundred thousand livres. Mosqueton had a superb livery, and enjoyed | 127 Sot Scorr, THE MASKED MINER. Porthos quitted the satisfaction, which he had desired all bis life, of | riding behind a gilded carriage. Aramis, after a journey to Lorraine, suddenly disappeared, and ceased to write to his friends, They learned afterwards, through Madame de Chev- | reuse, that he had assumed the cowl in the monar- | tery at Nancy. Bazin became a lay brother. Athos remained a musketeer under d’Artagnan's command, until 1633; at which time, after a journey | to Roussillon, he also left the service, under pre- text of having succeeded to a small inheritance in the Blaisois. Grimaud followed Athos. D'Artagnan fought three times with Rochefort, and three times wounded him, “ [shall probably kill you the fourth time,"' said he, to Rochefort, as he stretched forth a hand to raise him up. “It would be better for both of us to stop where ‘*Egad! I have been more your friend than foe; for, after our first meeting, [ could have got your head off by one word to the cardinal.” They embraced, but this time it was in sincerity, and without malice. Planchet obtained, through Rochefort, the grade of 6 gn in the regiment of Piedmont. M. Bonancieux lived in great tranquility, entirely eee ne of what had become cf his wife, and not disturbing himself about it. One day he had the impudence to recall himself to the cardinal’s recol- lection, The cardinal told him that he would so provide for him that be should never want anything for the future. In fact, the next day M. Bonancieux, having left home at seven o’clock in the evening, to go to Louvre, was never seen again in the Rue des Possoye.ws. _The opinion of those who thought themselves best informed, was that he was bo aud lodged in some royal castle at the expense o his generous eminence, THE END, Beadle’s Dime Library. 47 Pactric Pere.
