regiment the first that had crossed the
Nicmen, and which at the passage had
lost 200 men and horses swept away by
| the current, entered the tavern, and seeing
the newly arrived guest bowed reverent-
ly before him, hailing him as ''Sire.''
How did you recognize mew said the
Emperor.
"The Emperor gave me this at Wa
gram" answered the officer, touching the
cross Of the Legion that he wore.
~ am the Emper' r. said Napoleon
II have no need to deny it here, Go,
bring the Sous Prefet to me at once"
"Ott with your hats: the EMPEROR
cried the officer as he quilted the apart
ment. Napoleon thanked the astonished
and confused occupants as they rose, de-
sired them to continue their occupations
or amusements needless of his presence,
and set himself to teasing maliclously the
hostess, who no longer protested against
his mt nopollzing the fire.
There was also in the room the wife of
tho second Judge of the town, young
and very handsome woman. To her Ma
poleon paid violent court. "You are a
very pretty little thing!" he said, pinch
ing her ear ana patting her check after
his accustomed fashion.
Rapp, Caulaincourt and some Polish
tered, and the Sous Pretet had fastened
to the tavern. 1t was ride of fifty versts
through the woods to the nearest place
of real safety, and already the Cossacks
were scouting the frontiers. While the
official, who had offered to find a guide,
was preparing for his departure Napoleon
diaed voraciously upon leg of mutton
and carrots. 1t was whispered that this
was the first meal to which he had sat
down since his departure from Moscow.
Looking up he saw upon the wall a
framed engraving of the 'Interview at
Tilslt.' CHOW things change in life,'
he said, "Tllsit in 1907 and now-take
that picture down." Then he went on to
praise loudly the courtesy and good quail
ties of the Car and expressed his admi-
ration of the military talents of Constan-
tine. Then he fell to his mutton and
carrots, remarklng to an officer that, ap-
prOpOs OF handsome women, the Queen
Louisa of Prussia was the most charming
creature he had ever met.
At the moment it was announced that
the sledges we're in readiness, the Emper.
or was asked to review the National
Guards Of the town, which had been
! turned out in his honor. The sappers,
who wore false boards and handled their
picks in very clumsy manner, excited
his laughter, and turning to Rapp he ex-
claimed, "Aren't they ridiculous?" A great
shout of 'Long live the Emperor" was
raised by the silly folk, ready to die fol
the vanquished soverei On who laughed
at them, and Napoleon seemed pleased
and compl1mented their commander, who
said that was not all his force-he could
turn out 1900 men.
1.-TWO thousand men! said the Emper.
or, with surprise eff we can raise 1900
men IN place Of this size, the country as
a whole can easily furnish 100000
Things are not desperate yet,' he added tt
Rapp'
The sledges were drawn Napoleon
entered first with his Mameluke, Rous
tan and Rapp; Caulaincourt and the Pol
ish officers were in the second; the thirc
was laden with food and forage. Mikou
licz, a Pole, who was to act as guide, was
told that the Emperor travelled as Mar
shall Caulalncourt and not under hi:
own name. Mikoulicz, who knew thor
oughly all the intricacies Of the forest
was to receive $4,000 francs tor his ser
vices. From Eliza Napoleon sent him ;
ring with MS cipher in brilliants
worth 5000 francs. Mikoulicz sold it t.
a German trader for 400. Itmay be add
ed that the Russians when they discover
ed that, THANKS to the Poles assistance
they had failed to capture the Emperor
decreed the guides punishment, ant
when they caught him sent him to S1be
ria.
The whips cracked and the horse
sprang forward. Turning round tn
Emperor cried gayly to Madame Mitzul
ewicz, who was standing on her door
step, "Adieu, baba!' and was gone.
He had mounted his horse for the cam
pajgn OF Moscow humming "Marlbo1
ough sen vast-en guerre;;" he disappeared
into the pine forests, comforted with hi
leg of mutton and carrots, leaving be
hind him the Grand Army, with for al
farewell. "By-Dy, Sissy, 10 pretty taV
