Some petition answered de Mer-

Tho officer soon re-appeared with a
lady leaning on his arm, whose face,
as much as could be scanned through
the thick folds Of a veil, was very beau

ed the door.
'Mademoiselle,' whispered her guide
gently, take courage, but answer
promptly every question the Emperor
proposes; he dctests hesitation
Then urshering her into the spacious
apartment, he bowed and retired.

only of another. Throwing herself at
the feet Of Napoleon, she exclaimed in
. voice choking with emotion,
Mercy, sirel lsue for mercy and par

She could articulate no more.
Josephine stepped from her partial
concealment, and then approaching,
contributed more by her sympalhising
words of encouragement to restore the
courage of the petitioner than even
the Emperor by his gracious manner
as he eade her rise.

Henrietta Armond--for that was her
aame--looked impIo:ingIy at the En-
pcror and exclaimed,
'Ah, sire, l ask pardon for Louis Del

A cloud gathered on Napoi2on's
brow as he interrupted her wish,
"A descrter, msdcmoisr'ln: he has

remaining parent, a mother, sire, was
on her death-bed, and longed day and
night to behold her son. Louis knew
that relief or release from his post was
impossible. His mind was filled with
but one thought--that she might not
close her eyes forever, ere they rested
on a son she loved so fondy.'
Did she die1' asked the Empress,
with interest.
NO, madam replied Henrietta, she
