n G.F.uE or CHESS,

Napoleon bad landed at Frejus in 1915, having
successfully escaped from his quasi prison at the
island Of ElbA At first not much matter was made
of it at Paris, but the Emperors rapid advance
and his enthusiastic reception by the country peo-
pie and the small garrison on his route, at last
created serious alarm. Marshal Ney was dis-
patched with an army to oppose him, aud for bet
ter preeauti0n an order WAS issued that no one
should be allowed to leave Paris. Now, immedi-
ately upon the restoration Of the Bourbons, in
1874, the Rothschilds had established banking
house at Paris with their brother James as its
chief, and about the time Of Napo Icons landing
from Elba, they had boarded nifty million francs
lten million dollars) in the vault Of the Paris
branch James Rothsohild became alarmed for
the safety Of his treasure. He knew that Napo-
leon would want money, and that the bank of the
Roth schilds would be the first one plundered.--
He desired TO send a confidential agent 10 his
brother Nathan at London for advice, But to his
CONSERVATION a passport was refused him, and he
was told that ho could not leave the city, Rely
ing upon the full restoration ofpeaee with the alb
dieation Of Napoleon, the Old oxpedient Of their
father carrier-pigeuns, had been abandoned, and
James was completely at loss what 10 do.
This state Of things was soon whispered around
among the clerks, and even the Junior employees,
one Of whom, sprghty jew from Hamburgh,
caught il up and Immediately sent message TO
James Rothschild, requesting an interyiew, which
was granted.

James.

whom you can trust. 70 London, bat that the gov
