NapOleOn's Won deriul Memory.

THE Emperor Napoleon was at Err
furt. a legion of Kings and Princes
had come to humble their crowns be-
fore his regent loyalty. AT one of the
soirees which he gave at this brilliant
court the conversation turned on an
ancient pontitical bull, about the date
of which there was some doubt. An
Austrian prelate indicated period
which the Emperor contested. II
am better infol med than your Majesty
on such subjects" said the prelate,
State. "And for my part" replied
the Emperor, % do not say believe
| say am certain you are deceived.
Besides, the truth may be easily ascer-
tanned; let such a work be brought,
and if am wrong i will hasten to
acknowledge it,
The book was brought. The EN-
peror was right. The whole assembly
were astonished at such an excellent
memory on the part Of one whose
head was constantly occupied by a
crowd of other subjects.
"WheA | was Lieutenant" said
the Emperor these simple words,
"when was Lieutenant, produced
singular effect on all present; all the
representatives of the old monarchies
looked at each other, smiling. when
| had the honor to be Lieutenant of
artillery" continued the Emperor, in
louder tone. 81 remained two years

with pleasant sounds and then the
preacher talked. lie talked very well,
too, in sermon quite adapted to the
day. II was discourse suitable for
the beginning of the New Year, full
of earnestness and faith and incen-
tive. 1t was strong and healthy and
honest. Even the listless listened be-
fore he closed, and when the end came
all the congregation felt somehow as
though starting out on new journey
with new impulses and added hope and
better intention. The closing exer-
cises passed, again the deep notes of
the organ swelled upon the air, and,
keeping involuntary time with the
steady measure, the congregation
surged slowly out upon the street and
into the world again. There We're
very many people and the walk was
full. a mass is al ways unwieldy and
careless, and III the great crowd the
weaker drifted with the pressure rather
than walked. What wonder, then,
that Il slight figure in a trim, plain
garb should be carried close to the gut
ter, SO close as to be in imminent dam
ger of being forced quite off the pave
ment. and what more r"tLral than
that rough man with a twisted leg
and plain clothes, but a gentleman's
instinct, should reach out an arm to
rescue her.
"Beg pardon, miss. You'd better
take my arm till the crowd lessons a
little"
The slim woman in plain garb looks
up into the face of the rough man in
plain ditto, as she takes his arm. Then
she turns pale for moment, after
which flush comes over her face. AT
the same time he looks down upon her.
and he, too, becomes pale as death, but
he doesn't blush afterward, as she
does. The paleness dies away gradually.

"Oh, JohnW
There is a momentary timidity and
INDIGESTION about each of them, and
then he draws more closely the arm
she has taken. She comes nearer with
a kind of tlutter. and they go on with
the people. But they do not separate
when the crowd lessons. They break
the silence between them again, after
time, and they have great deal to
talk about. They explain much and
forgive much and regret much. Then
they consider the present. A labering
man and miliner with little custom
can scarcely establish a sumptuous
household. Well, the New Year may
bring them better fortune. They can
do more where each has sympathy.
They think they can live comfortably,
happily, anyhow.
And that same April breeze which
has got into December fans their
cheeks, and it does seem to them that
no frigid, frosty New Years Day,
such as the old songs tell of, could
compare with this, or be half as happy
in any way.
And more than the reader can have
dreamed of is there in the story, for
the foundation is on solid fact, and
there'll be plain wedding very soon.

ing envelops, but she's not been used
to work and is no good. You see,
ma am, I'm too soft-hearted for my
business, or / would not have kept
her so long, and | kind O hoped the
Captain would turn up and pay me.
When Mrs. - couldn't get anything
else outside to do she wrote this book,
hoping to sell it. = She put the
last words to it to-day, and she
had hardly done SO when | UP and
seized everything, even the pen
from her hand, for you know | was
mad clean through at being cheated out
OF my money, for had just seen in the
paper that the Captains ship had been
heard from as having gone to the bot
tom months ago in some outlandish
place. When showed her the paper
you should have seen how she took on
about it-sellish thing, never thought
how felt in supporting her in idle
ness all this time. l turned her out
instantly, neck-and-crop.
And did you keep everything?"
Everything but what she stood in.
She begged hard for her husbands
picture, but it had handsome frame
on it That | can sell. Just read her
novel over and if it's good you may
put you name to 1t and take half what
YOU get for it.
This was the infamous proposition
she made to mel She refused to take
a complete refusal, SO was obliged to
tell her that even if | were TO consent
to such a piece of dishonesty, and the
book were published, the woman
would recognize her property and
claim it. She said the property was
hers; she had seized it for the woman's
debt, and If she had not been too soft
hearted for her business, she would
not have allowed her to come into the
kitchen to warm her fingers when they
got too cold to hold the pen. Poor
creature sitting in garnet patiently
writing with fingers benumbed with
cold, hoping against hope, waiting,
waiting for the letter that never
came!
When the weather turned cold this
fall ! was surprised by call from my
former landlady. She had hunted meup,
and had that same manuscript under
her arm. "You need have no scruples
now, she said. "about putting your
name to this ere novel and selling it
for me- Why?" | asked BE
cause the woman who wrote it is
dead" "Deadp' YES; drowned
herself in the East River. ! saw
piece in the paper about an unknown
woman found floating in the river,
and the description kind o made me
think it was her; so | went to the
MCrgue; and sure as you live it was!
She had hardly a rag on her back, and
as she lay there on the marble slab,
with the water trickling over her face,
it was Il real comfort for me to think
that she hadn't found everybody as
KIND to her rs was but I'm too soft
hearted for my business, and when
she came back crying and begging for
her husbands photograph, why, I'd
IA given it to her, only I'd sold the
frame, and given the picture to the
children to play with, and they tore it
up. Children will be children, you
know"
She was astonished that my objec-
tons to having anything to do with
the manuscript were stronger than
ever. | could not bear to look at the
fair, pretty writing, as she spread
page after page on the table before me.
Every letter seemed written in the dead
woman's blood. Celia Logan. in San
