shouts and stinking powder smoke and
crashes and the red fash of cannon.
The French were advancing to the
storm in the wet, gray dawn. Both
fanking batteries, fully manned, had
opened upon them, but of the guns which
had direct command of the bridge only
one spoke. M
Into the roar of artillery the wind
brought up yells and oaths and bubbling
shrieks. And then the eagles came
through the smoke. There was no stop

sadly overwatered.

nodded grimly and then frowned.
"Have your permission now, sir, to
withdraw from this room?'
A refusal was framing ITSELF could

made him curb his passion, and he nod
ded again, but reluctantly.
In the dark, wet air outside, and not
before, did l realize fully what l had

had been the spasm of the instant. 1t
seemed to me now the outcome of mo-
ments insanity. / had had no plan. no

how could such a thing be done? The

self would avail nothing. There would
be a thousand men around, each to the

farther than death-and to do "better
work for France" than any of them!
All, no, the thing was impossible! With

wandered wherever my blind feet led
me, wrenched by torments that God
alone knew the strength of, and from
which there seemed no human means of
escape. The heavy rain squalls moaned
down the village streets. The place,
with its armed tenantry, slept. Only
the dripping sentries were open eyed.
These, taking me for an officer on ordi-
nary rounds, saluted with silent respect.
No soul interfered with me. Not even a
dog barked.
The thought came: You die only to
gain wreath of craven plumes. Why
not pass away from here-escape-de-
sert-vanish--be known no more-and
vet live? No one withholds from you
new life and new country. France alone,
of all the world, is utterly hopeless for

During the night the defenses had been
more than trebled. The Austrians
swarmed. Enough artillery was mount
ed there now to have demolished an en-
tire army corps advancing against it
from the open.
The deduction was clear. The bravest
men will turn tail sometimes, and in our
army, which was the bravestin the world,
there had during the latter part of the
campaign been more than one case of
wavering. An example accordingly was
to be made. Our corps had been singled
out for the condign punishment. We
were doomed to march on the morrow
to our annihilation.
OF course the matter had not been put
30 at headquarters. There the words
ran: "Most important strategic point.
Must be taken at whatever cost. Your
regiment will again have the honor,
colonel" and so on. But, summed up
bluntly, it was neither more nor less
than l have said. We all understood
the order of the letter, and there was
not man in the regiment who would
hesitate moment in carrying out his
share. Each private soldier, each officer
would march with firm determination
to march then his last That gives the
case in a nutshell.
But the secure knowledge that there
would be no skulkers along this road to
execution did not pacify the colonel. II
anything, it increased his bitterness. II
would make his ungrateful memory last
the longer. He sat at the table end of
that inn room where we had messed,
with folded arms and nervous fingers
kneading at his muscles. By singular
irony we were lodged in comfort there
we, who had got to go out and die on
the morrow-and he must needs taunt
us with it. as though it were shame for
such as we to have so tolerable billet.
Myself, was stretched out on sofa
away by the far wall, and lay there
mutely, having but little taste for the
wordy savageries which were being SO
freely dealt about And the night grew
older without my being disturbed. But
the angry man at the end of the table
singled me out at last, perhaps because
my outward calm and listlessness Jared
upon him.
''Tired, Eugene" he asked.
"a little, sir"
"Ah, | can understand it. I noted
your activity today. You have mistaken
your vocation, mon cher. You should
not have come into the army. You
should have been professional runner"
An answer burned on my tongue.
But kept it there, gave a shrug and
said nothing. What use could further
wrangling be? But the silence was an
i'll move. 1t only angered him further,
and he threw at me an insult which was
more than human man could endure.
"Do you think you will again feel in
clined to use those powers of yours
tomorrow, Eugene? Or had l better
have you handcuEed to some steady old
SOLDIER"
A dozen of the other officers sprang to
their feet at this ghastly taunt, for when
such thing as this was said to one of
their number it touched all. The old
major was their spokesman.
Colonel, we make all allowances, but
you are going too far with the young
ster."
The colonel scowled round tight Tipped

and How He Behaved.
At .. m. dinner was announced,
when we all sat down in apparent good
spirits, and our actions declared our. .ap-
petites fully equal to those spirits. Gem
eral Bonaparte ate of most dishes on the
table, using his fingers instead of fork,
seeming TO prefer the rich dishes to the
plainly dressed food and not even tasting
vegetables. Claret was lhis beverage,
which he drank out of tumbler, keep
ing the bottle before him.
He conversed the whole of dinner time,
confining his conversation principally to
the admiral, with whom he talked over
the whole of the Russian campaign and
attributed the failure of it in the first
instance to the burning Of Moscow, in
the next to the frost setting in much
sooner than was expected. He said he
meant only to have refreshed his troops
for four or five days, and then to have
pushed on for st. Petersburg, but find
ing all his plans frustrated by the burn
ing of Moscow, and his army likely to
perish, he hurried back to Paris, setting
out with chosen bodyguard, one-half
of which were frozen to death the first
night.
He said nothing could be more horri-
BILE than the retreat from Moscow, and
indeed the whole of the Russian cam
paign; that for several days together it
appeared to him as if he were marching
through sea of fire, owing to the con-
slant succession of villages in flames,
which arose in every direction as far as
the eye could reach. He said the burn
ing of these villages as we'll as of Mos
cow was attributed to his troops, but
that it was invariably done by the ma
tiyes.
After dinner he did not drink wine,
but he took glass Of noyau after his
coffee, previous to rising from the table.
After dinner he walked the deck, con-
versing principally with the admiral,
to whom he said, during this CONVEX
sation, that previous to his going to
Elba he had made preparations for hav-
ing navy Of a hundred sail of the line;
that he had established conscription
for the navy, and that the Toulon fees
was entirely manned and brought for
ward by people of this description; that
he had ordered them positively to get
under way and maneuver every day the
weather would permit, and to OCCASION
ally exchange long shots with our ships;
that this had be2n demonstrated against
by those about him, and it had cost him
much money to repair the accidents
which occurred from the want of sari-
time knowledge, such as ships getting
foul of each other, splitting their sails,
springing their masts, etc, but he found
this tended to improve the crews, aud
he determined to persevere in his plan.
After walking for some time he pro-
posed round game at cards, in compli-
ance with which the admiral, Sir George
Bingham, Captain Ross and myself as.
sembled with General Bonaparte and his
followers in the after cabin, where we
played at ving-tun (sic), which was the
game chosen by the ex-empcror, till
nearly II o'clock, when we all retired to
our beds.-Century.
