How lie Was Sounded During His Exile to
CNcw York Recorder.)

lNfN iNih iN'NRiNflsf
4 veteran Of the Egyptian campaign
called secretly upon the Emperor after
Napoleon hal been four months at Elba.
II appears that this man had been COM
misslonod by the BOnapartists in Paris TO
sound the Man Of Destiny as to the pos
sbility Of return To Paris "rhey are
all waiting for you" he said. what do
they say?" asked Napoleon. THAT you
will return" was the answer.
Ronaparte put on an appearance Of an
ger "And with what sort Of an army
could come backY' he inquired, con-
temptuOusly.
you need no armyr' exclaimed the
messenger confidently. People on the
boulevards and I'm the cafes are talking
Of nothing but a change Of government.
The present status cannot last six months.
anyhow"
"Who are yOu?'
81 was a soldier | am a pastry cook.
and shall remain such until the govern
ment of France IS again worth fighting
for"
"Did 7 not see you in Russia, and, be-
fore that. were you not in surveillance
in Paris for speaking against my corona
tion?"
YES, sire. did not love your droits
reunis. 1t was mistake to bring back
the old mobiles. They were planting their
white rags on the boulevards while your
old Jambles de Bots were still fighting
for you in the field OF Montmartre."
'You have the old and the new nobility
now" suggested the Emperor.
"Alas. yes. 'C'est une race qul ne pull
lule que trop!''
"The women do not love me-" sighed
Napoleon. "They hold me responsible
for the death OF their brothers aud sons
There your majesty Is mistaken" said
the messenger. my own mother and
sisters were ready 10 tear your hair out
when you left France. They would well
come you back with open arms
do you think" asked the Emperor
that YOU and men ike you. who are Re
publicans I'm sentiment. would be true 10
me If I were the throne AGAIN.
II know they would" responded the
pastry-cOOk. II loved you better as plain
General Bonaparte than as First Consul;
and better as First Consul than as En-
peror but were you to come back and
assume the title OF grand Turk, ! would
stand by you til DEATH"
The messenger departed as. quietly az
he had come and the English spies
never had the slightest idea that the En-
peror had had communication with Paris.
The pastry-cook died IN the glorious
charge Of the old guard at Waterloo,
crying "Vive rEmpereur!" with his last
breath.
