As the Prince de Kermornas had
planned, the expiration of his leave Of
absence was the signal for his resigns-
ton, and he was married at once.
He loved his young wife with all the
ardor Of frank and generous nature,
and he found her sentiments like his
own.
They were happy.
We hasten to say il, because happi-
ness is not durable reality. How idle
it is to envy those who appear to pos
sess it! Hardly has one begun to be-
lieve in it when il disappears!
In the last year of the second empire
the black hour had sounded for France.
The ignoble trampling, the provoking
triumph Of her enemies, echoed in the
hearts of all her children and all wished
to serve her, according to their means
and faculties
What sublime devotion, heroic gen.
erosity, noble deeds which will remain
unheralded and unknown, blossomed
forth in those days of anguish!
Julien Nasty, who meantime had be-

to Fort Issy with the rest of the crew.

and entered the service again

HIM her tears and her despair.
''Gop she said to him, land II, alas!

your family-your children
The Prince was sent to rejoin his old
companions of the Equinox. Julien had
not expected this. Never had he made
the least effort to discover the ex-en-
sign, and he remained isolated in his
pride and hate of his fellow-men.
Bat now that they were thrown to-
gether again, Julien sometimes forgot
his gloomy silence and -xchapged q
few words with the Prince
One day, shortly before the armistice,
the balls Missed, shrieked, and mel ,ced
around them; shells rained and burst
over their heads. They were in the
thick of one of those sorties which
were heroic, although useless, struggles
in which the sailors always showed
courage beyond praise.

Suddenly Julien threw himself upon
the Prince, shielding him with his
body; then he fell to the earth, bleed
