NAPOLEON AT MOSCOW.
BY ALEXANDER DUMAS.

1t was on the 18th of September, 1912, at z
O'Clock in the afternoon, that the French army
discovered the holy city from the heights Of Mount
Salvation As had been the case fifteen years
before at the aspect Of the Pyramids, one hun
dred and twenty thousand men Immediately
clapped their hands, shouting, Moscow Mos
cow!n After long navigation in the sea OF
steppes land was at length deserted. On be
holding The city with the golden cupolas, all was
forgotten, even the terrible and bloody battle Of
La Mo skowa, which had saddened the army as
much'as if it had been a defeat. After touching
with one hand the Indian Ocean, France thought
she was about to extend the other TO the Polar
Seas. Nothing had arrested her progress-nei-
her the desert Of sand nor the desert of snow
She was really the Queen Of the .World-she
who had had herself crowned in every capital.
The shouts of the whole army, which broke
up its ranks in eager Impotence, brought up Ma
poleon himself. His first feeling was an mex,
pressible Joy, that frightened his brow. AS all
the rest, he exclaimed, Moscow! Moscow y
standing erect in his stirrups but the shadow OF
cloud was Immediately seen TO pass over his
forehead as he resumed his saddle and uttered
the words, 81 was temptedw
The army halted, for Napoleon, keeping his
eyes eagerly fixed upon the town. expected that
from one of its gates some deputation OF long
bearded nobemen and young girls with boughs
would come forth, bearing the keys of the holy
city upon silver plate. Every thing, however
remained silent and solitary, as if the city were
asleep; no smoke arose from the chimneys
Large flights of crows lowered round the krem
lin, and aghted upon some dome, the gold o.
which disappeared as beneath black sheet
On the other side of Moscow we thought we
deserted an army in motion, as if leaving by the
gate opposite to the one in front Of US. II wa:
once more that unseizable enemy who had slip
ped through our hands from the Niemen to tina
Moskowa, and who was punging into the East
AT that moment as if the French army, ca
ge-lke, had spread out its two wings, Eugene
