Bonaparte was now thirty-four. Thus
far ne had been neither the tool of fate
nor the architect of his own fortunes;
he was both. In Corsica his immature
| powers had been thwarted by condi-
tions beyond his control. During the
revolution he had caught at every
straw which would spare his life and
give him living. Until his marriage
he was a soldier of fortune, and for
tune made it difficult, either by profes.
sional excellence or political scheming
to grasp any of her favors. Accord
ingly he went without them, suffering,
erring. dreaming, philosophizing, OBJ
serving, and gathering the experience
| which made him mature at the age
when most men are still boys. The
observer can descry no revolution in
his character when fortune began to
smile and opportunities began to open.

Every success is made Introductory
to another and there are no evidences
of great scheming, except as similar
evidences were observable in the over
weening self-confidence of his boyhood
at Milleli. Only now his plans unfold,
not in the child blasts of ha bitual fail

prospering Influences amid which they
are formed 1t becomes verv easy,
therefore, to proclaim, as many his
torians do, the existence of a great life
scheme extending forward to the en-
pire and backward to his earliest
youth-to declare that with satanic
powers the boy had arranged every de.
tail Of his manhood. Of this there is
not the slightest proof All that is
clear is the co-tinued use, by a great
mind sharpened in the fires of experi-
ence, of greater opportunities as they
arose.
