NAPOLEON WANTED TO DIE,
Ills Only Attempt mt Suicide Was Decreed
by Fate to BE Unsuccessful.

On one occasion, and on one occasion
only. did Napoleon Bonaparte attempt
TO die by his own hand. 1t was at the
palace OF Fontainbleau, while his abdi-
cation was pending. He had seen
Murat and Bernadotte and Ney desert
his cause. He had grieved over the
treachcry of Marmont; had learned OF
the occupation of Paris by the Allies
troops; he had been driven to despera.
ten by the fierce revenge of the Elm.
I .or Alexander of Russia. who had re-
fused to treat with Napoleon or any
member OF his family. and, last of all.
he had been informed that the woman
whom he had made his wife. the mother
of his child, after starting from Blois to
Join him, had been dissuaded from do
Ing so, and had remained at Orleans.
1t was then that his mighty spirit
gave way to the crushing weight OF
treason in camp and family. He had
with him some poison, which he had Sc
cured during the disastrous return from
Moscow. The temptation to die the
death of the elder Cato and of Socrates
was too strong for him. In his own
chamber he drank the poison, and Law
down in the full hope that he had ended
the stormiest career that mortal ever
followed. His hope was deceived. The
poison had los. its strength. He suf.
fercd the agonies of the damned for
hours, but death did not come.
His private surgeon. IVAN, was panic
stricken, thinking it certain that should
the emperor die in that way. just then,
the Allied Powers, fearing the accuse
ton OF history, would make him n
scapegoat. He mounted his horse and
fied, without doing anything to relieve
his masters suffering. But slowly
Bonaparte recovered. and it is said that
he always expressed the belief that fate,
having prevented him from suicide,
must have other triumphs in store foi
his genius. He sigaed the abdication
which was so CALLING to his soul, giving
up forever the chance that his son might
succeed 10 his imperial honors. and
consented to retire TO Eiba. in the full
faith that his sta had not set save to
rise again.
This faith did not desert him. even
after the final overthrow at Waterloo.
He went to st. Helena, believing that
he would come back again. as lie had
come back from Elba. Hundreds OF
thousands of F~renchmen had more OF
less sympathy with that hope. Bni
-psrfidious Albion" had the arch-foe In
her clutches. and from her careful
watching he was never TO escape.-M
